Richard was a wonderful host, communication soon after we reserved and on into the stay. This is a very nice place close to town and not far the beach. Quiet location with a walking/riding path right behind the yard. Porches front and back to sit outside and enjoy the weather. Also appreciated the washer and dryer as we had been on the road for a week. A cozy place to enjoy PSJ.

I loved all the attention to detail over the Christmas holiday. The home was completely decorated for Christmas. Also it is a dog lover’s delight! Big back yard, dog bowls, and a treat jar for our fur baby’s snacks. Owner checked in on us and made sure our stay was fantastic!
Ziti our dog loved the big back yard.
The warmth of the holiday!!
Perfect way for us to celebrate Christmas away from home.
Sweet doggie accessories throughout.

This was a wonderful place to stay while in St. Joe. The hosts could not have been better. The duplex had everything that we wanted. Having a huge fenced yard with a spot light was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was outfitted with all conveniences. We absolutely loved our stay at the Crab Shack. If we can visit Florida next year, we'll stay again.

The host, Richard, was so nic e and assured me if there was anything I needed to let me know. The kitchen had small bags of assorted chips, bottles of water, a cabinet that had lots of spices, Folgers coffee, etc. The neighborhood was very quiet, and I felt safe since I was traveling alone. Great place. Intend to stay again.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Nov 2025
The guests did mention the refrigerator noise. We didnt hear any "noise", but to be safe, just in case something was potentially going wrong, we called the repair guy, and the sound was the normal compressor noise, reading 37 decibels. $125 later, nothing was found wrong. There is a slight "hum" when the compressor is running, no doubt. A whisper is around 30 decibels. We have 137 reviews on another platform, with this unit, at a 4.97 rating. No one in the last 6 years has mentioned the refrigerator noise. We have yet to duplicate the "noise"

Richard & Ginger were great hosts! They provided lots of restaurant and activity recommendations. Richard called to check up on us and offered special accomodations based on our unusual situation. The house was perfect for the (4) adults and dogs I traveled with. The front and back porch were great for morning coffee and happy hour cocktails. The location was perfect, we could walk to lots of restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

We would definitely stay here again. It was perfect for my daughter and I. We loved walking down and playing around in the bay at the park. Everything was clean and comfy. Richard gave us some great suggestions for restaurants and was very attentive to answering emails promptly.
