The Crab Shack - Fully-equipped and Updated 2-bedroom Waterfront Vacation Rental
* We survived IAN, we have completely remodeled and are back to being fully functional. **
Get away to the Crab Shack, a waterfront hideaway on beautiful Matlacha Island. Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, large screened in patio with a Smart TV, gas grill, washer/dryer and private dock with complimentary use of kayaks !
The Crab Shack is a 2 bedroom waterfront vacation rental! Newly renovated bathroom and pristine kitchen appliances making staying a pleasure. An outdoor screened in patio has a smart TV and a new gas grill, perfect for grilling burgers - or today's catch! Enjoy the local art scene, eat at famous restaurants, and recharge on the water. Whether you're on Matlacha for the wildlife - or to get away from your wild life - the Crab Shack is the perfect place to hang your hat! Please be aware that we do store our personal boat on a lift behind the house. If you are bringing a boat and would like to rent a boat slip, we recommend The Olde Fish House Marina, conveniently located walking distance next door.
This island is known for it's ability to take you away from the hustle and bustle of life, reconnect you with nature, and provide the kayaking, fishing, and weather you need to recharge your soul. A vibrant and growing art scene, as well as the Historic Matlacha Fishing Village (where this unit is located) make for a fun trip. Even though Matlacha doesn't have beaches the way Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach do, trips to visit nearby beaches make a perfect day trip (an average 45 minutes by car). We look forward to hosting you in our fun and laid back island vacation home!

Bohemian stay in hippie town
Loved the whole vibe of Matlacha
(Matt La Shay). Bet it was something before the hurricane and looking forward to visiting again as the rebuild continues.
Interesting locals, warm and friendly.

Funky little space with everything you need
The Crab Shack made us happy - not crabby. Neat and equipped kitchen and nice outdoor porch made for a very comfortable space. Directly across from the Blue Dog restaurant and the Perfect cup made for easy eats. The town of Matlacha is still rebuilding from Hurricane Ian but we did find some gorgeous spots on Pine Island and on Captiva with rugged natural ocean access.

Great week!
Very clean and tidy home. Easy access from Punta Gorda airport. Not a lot of open shops nearby. A few restaurants were open. Blue Dog 5 minutes walk was great.
Miceli’s had the best crab cakes we ever ate.
Some good hiking in Alva and Pine Island if you like the birds.

Time to reconnect and reinvest.
We have friends that retired in Cape Coral and St. James then got hit with Ian. Being able to contribute to the recovery by supporting the local economy and hosting our friends who have hosted us in the past was a God sent blessing. The Crab Shake was 'so stinking cute'.

Oasis to get away and relax
Arrived and they had left light on for us and got in at dark. Lock Box to enter. Was very clean and spacious as was deceiving, with a Lanai, living room. Had a full kitchen with a nice bath room shower. Two cozy bedrooms with Queen Size Beds. On a canal with a couple Kayak's that leads to the Bay. Has seating to sit outside. Restaurants in walking distance. If back in the area will book again.

Location, fun, and relaxation!
Though small, this house had everything we needed for a wonderful two weeks in Matlacha. We especially loved the screened-in porch, which is where we ate every meal. The living room was comfortable for reading and watching TV, and the bedrooms were sufficient. The kitchen had all the dishes, pots and pans, and tools that we needed. It was interesting to be in the midst of the rebuilding process following Hurricane Ian. We've been returning to Matlacha for 12 years, every February, and were shocked at how much was just gone this year. Encouraging to see the rebuilding.

Three Cs……Cute, comfy and convenient
Pictures don’t do the house justice. Cute! Had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable. Perfect spot for an active outdoorsy couple.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Access to the water for fishing, birdwatching and kayaking an area of The Great Calusa Blueway. Walking distance to cute shops. The Perfect Cup for breakfast/lunch. The Blue Dog for outstanding seafood. There is even an ice cream shop!
The locals were very friendly too! We will be back! Matlacha and Pine Island is a special place.
Thanks for the opportunity to stay here.

Great stay
We spent the weekend in Matlacha and Pine Island, and this property is in a great centralized location. Less than five minute walk to the main Matlacha strip with restaurants, shops and activities. Everything was available and in working order at the property. Would definitely recommend this property.

updated pictures needed
The cottage was clean and neat. There were many ceiling lights out so we called the owner and she arranged for it to be taken care of. Two days later the electrician showed up and after half of our day gone he finishes with several other problems he couldn't fix.
The discription of the place did not match the outside arrangement. When sitting outside, you had to look at the side of a large boat that took up the little view of the channel. Cabinets took up the side area where you had to sit when outside.
The online pictures need to be updated to reflect the actual description.
This place does however have a great location.

Everything about the Crabby Shack and Matlachi was old Florida. Loved it all. The Crabby Shack was comfortable for the two of us. Easy to find, easy to walk to the bars, restaurants and shopping in Matlachi.
