Summary:
Crab Shack
The Space:
Location, location, location! Crab Shack, best shack on the island. This older spacious four-bedroom home is truly one of the best lots on the island, as it has direct views of the Gulf of America and the Audubon Sanctuary! You can relax in paradise enjoying the beautiful views from the large, wrap-around porch while reading a book or sipping on a tasty cocktail. This dog-friendly home features direct access to the beach by a lovely sand trail. The custom artwork throughout the home was hand-painted by our talented local artists and bring a lot of personality to this beach house! You can also enjoy lounging on the beach, just steps out your back door. There is a private gas grill you can use to treat your family to a tasty cookout while the sun sets.

You are also within five miles of many great local restaurants with a variety of flavors!
