Cozy and Clean
The house is right on the water and offers kayaks, crab traps, hammock, a hot tub and beach bikes. It is just a minute or two away from the beach and close to downtown Galveston and restaurants, shops and museums. Lots to do!
It was a nice place to stay, but needs a little TLC on equipment. Bikes rusted, Kayak paddles missing, hot tub needs cleaning and never got hot. Half of house leaning so floor is uneven, dish washer not secure. Location is great to local things to do.

Neat little place
The Crabbin Cabin was a cute little house, super clean, and quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the gentle breeze on the patio, and the neighbor was super nice. The water was a little warm while we were there, so we didn't have much luck crabbing and fishing, but it was still fun to try. The kids enjoyed using the kayaks and floating down the canal. Definitely a place I would suggest to other families headed down to Galveston. It is close to town, but far enough to have some peace and quiet.

The house was ok. Very well stocked kitchen. Jacuzzi didn’t work! Saw 2 bugs in the kitchen. Vacasa gave us the wrong code to enter property and wrong Wi-Fi code. No wash rags to wash the little ones.

Hey Samantha, thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you found the kitchen well-stocked, but we’re sorry to hear about the issues you encountered. The hot tub is currently out of service and has been removed as an amenity until it can be repaired. We are also scheduling pest control to address the bugs seen in the kitchen. We will review the Wi-Fi information to ensure it is accurate and clear. The e-lock code does change for each guest as the property uses a turnkey lock system, and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Additionally, we will speak to housekeeping to ensure they are providing the proper number of towels and washcloths between stays. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to address these issues promptly and provide a better experience in the future.
Nice little house that met all our needs. However, if you’re bringing your boat, it is a very tight fit. You can only park one car deep in the driveway and the street is only wide enough for one car. If there were cars in the driveway across from us, we would not have been able to park the boat at the house. Also, you have to fill out an application and obtain a permit to use the boat launch. Be aware of holiday and weekend hours when planning your vacation.
