Our stay in Port St. Joe was fantastic! The rental was exactly as described, spotlessly clean and more well-equipped than any place I’ve ever stayed. We had everything we needed and more. The owner was wonderful to work with, very responsive, and knowledgeable about the area. We truly enjoyed our time here and hope to stay again!

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.

Wonderful Place To Stay

This is the second time we have booked with Richard and Ginger. We have a yearly family trip to Port Saint Joe and always book to stay here so we can have our space with our dogs while visiting our family in town. The place is always clean, full of amenities, and is always a great price. Richard is so nice he even stopped by in person to check in to see if we needed anything. We will definitely keep staying here year after year for future family trips.

Do yourself a favor and stay at the Crab Shack! We loved it the moment we opened the door. It's the perfect getaway and located close to the beach, boating, restaurants and shopping. I've never stayed in a place with a kitchen as well furnished. The hosts are also a treasure. Richard was incredibly helpful and communicative. It was a wonderful experience all the way around. We will certainly be back again.

Great location, perfect for our needs, reasonable rates!

Cute little duplex, comfy beds & furniture, extra little touches, nice outdoor spaces, loved the walking trail with all the green spaces! Met the owner and he’s funny & nice. We also loved being able to walk into town to eat, shop, and watch sunsets over the bay! The ocean was just a 10 min drive where we parked along the road at a beach path. So not crowded!!

Crab shack was the perfect, quiet getaway for scalloping on Labor Day weekend. House was clean with cute decor and had a safe, extensive walking path behind the house. The hosts even stopped by to check and make sure we had everything we needed! Delicious recommendations for dinner within walking distance and all the kitchen attire was readily available for nights we cooked in. Highly recommend this place! Thank you! We will be back :)
