About this property
Nassau - The Crab Shack
Built on a deep water canal in Jamaica Beach, The Crab Shack is a cozy A-frame with a delightful beach vibe. There’s space for eight people across three bedrooms and an expansive deck reaching out over the water providing tons of elevated outdoor space for lounging, dining, or fishing. A shaded space under the home has a charcoal grill and boat dock alongside a Cowboy soaking pool and fire pit. The Crab Shack is a quick drive away from the beach, grocery stores, and west end restaurants.

● Beach Access: Just a two-minute drive from the Jamaica Beach access point. Cars and golf carts are allowed to park on the beach.
● Private Pool: We have a Cowboy soaking pool on the ground level that can comfortably fit up to 8 people when it`s time to relax and cool off.
● Community Amenities: Guests have access to the Jamaica Beach community pool for a fee — open Memorial Day - Labor Day — and city park.

● Parking: We can fit up to 3 cars using both the carport and the driveway.
The Crab Shack has a fully fenced yard, perfect for pets and kids. Outside, an expansive deck space spans out over the boat dock and the canal below. Host a family dinner at the alfresco dining space, while a pastel pink sunset lights up the sky above you.
Walking into the home, the open and airy living space has a stylish mid-century style with tons of natural light. There’s a fully stocked kitchen and ample seating for everyone between the stools at the bar and the dining table. A full bathroom off the living space has a cabin-like vibe, with knotty pine walls, a clean white vanity, and a tub/shower combo.
Off the living area, a fun bunk room has a twin-over-twin bed and a queen-size bed. Up the spiral staircase, you’ll find two more bedrooms and a half bath. The first bedroom has a king-size bed and access to a third-floor balcony overlooking the full deck below and the canal. The second bedroom also has a king-size bed and looks out over the quiet neighborhood.
On the ground level, there’s a laundry room complete with washer/dryer. There’s also a game room to get some shade or catch the game on TV while enjoying the outside space. A covered boat dock makes the perfect spot for a leisurely afternoon of fishing— or launching kayaks into the canal. The barbeque area is shady and cool, complete with a Cowboy soaking pool and an outdoor shower which is an absolute must after a day at the beach or pool. This super-charming, bohemian retreat is the perfect home base for a getaway to the Texas coast.
