Dog-friendly home by the beach with private pool, game room, big decks & WiFi

Crab Shack

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Welcome to the Crab Shack - more like the King Crab Shack - with seven bedrooms, three levels of upscale living space, expansive decks, and a private swimming pool with a cabana, all just a stone’s throw from the ocean beach.

Whether you're an extended family wanting to spend a week together or friends hoping to reconnect, this home offers multiple gathering areas so everyone can spread out and enjoy themselves. The new owners have recently made some thoughtful upgrades, including new flooring, and fresh paint.

The main level is an airy great room with a loft, opening to a dining area and a full kitchen. Sliding doors lead to the east-facing deck, where you can admire the morning sunrise and take in the afternoon breezes. The well-equipped kitchen offers everything you need for preparing memorable family meals, including two ovens and two dishwashers. The upper loft area is a great place to get away while still being a part of the crowd - you can find a quiet space to read a good book or play a game at the table provided.

As for entertainment, the detached garage game room has a pool table and Ping-Pong, while the wrap-around decks offer places to soak up the sun or cool off in the shade. The fenced-in pool is huge (38 feet x 19 feet), while the poolside cabana is well-equipped to handle day-long entertainment, with a full refrigerator, a TV, and a microwave. Additional outdoor features include a convenient fifth bathroom (with a shower), a basketball hoop, a new foosball table in the garage, and a gas grill.

At night, you'll find four bedrooms on the main floor, two bedrooms upstairs, and one bedroom on the lower level. All of the bedrooms have TVs. Four of the bedrooms offer cable on the TVs as well, but you will need to provide your accounts and devices for streaming.

Things to Know
The fifth bathroom outside (with a toilet, sink, and hot/cold shower) is winterized and available during the pool season
The pool will be open from late April through early/mid-October.

Quick get away
Wonderful house for a get away. Plenty of room for everyone. House was clean. Dog friendly. The only downfall was the grass was tall and parking. You can fit more than 7 vehicles in the driveway. There is parking a few roads down.

Great family space! Needs some TLC.
The house has plenty of bedrooms for lots of family and a big open kitchen to living room to gather. Decks are awesome and the house is across the street from the beach for easy access. The house was clean. The kitchen was disorganized so you need to search for things. And you will not find all that you need. Some basic cooking items were missing as well as there are no spices and food savers such as foil, plastic wrap for guests to use at all. You need to bring everything needed to cook.

Excellent beach house for family trip! Forgot baby gates for both set of stairs but made things work. Great location for direct beach access. Kitchen full of daily meal necessities. Incredible outdoor bath house with commode, sink and shower!

The location is good, it is right across the street from the easy access ramp to the beach. For not being on the water, it is still close enough that you can see it, especially from the 3rd floor balcony. The pool is very nice. The house is ok, it is showing its age on the inside. The inside stairs terrified my dog, so I had to take him up and down the outside stairs. There is construction across the street in the vacant lot they are showing in the pictures.
