The Mendocino Coast and Noyo Harbor are known for delicious local Dungeness crab. Touted as the tastiest crab of all, the Dungeness crab has a well-deserved reputation among crustacean connoisseurs.
At our fun and fresh new vacation rental, the Crab Shack, you’ll be within easy walking distance of award-winning restaurants, where you can enjoy “ocean-to-table” cuisine and savor amazing crab-based dishes here in Noyo Harbor.
The Crab Shack offers the perfect refugefor your relaxing getaway, and it’s just steps from the water.
Watch the boats come in, wander the beach, and wend your way to local shops and restaurants – when you’re here at the historic Sportsman’s Park in Noyo Harbor, you get to set your own pace.
The Crab Shack offers the perfect balance of R&R and adventure. Spend your days exploring the coast and experiencing the ocean’s bounty, then return to the sanctuary of your beach-inspired accommodations.
Noyo Harbor may be off the beaten path, but you won’t have to rough it: This luxurious furnished Tiny home comes fully-equipped – including the kitchen, so if you like to cook, you can stroll to the market to purchase fresh seafood and other ingredients. (Whether you prefer to eat in or dine out, you’ve got plenty of great options, including vegan ones.)
For evening entertainment, you have lots of options! If you’re looking for a night out on the town, the coast hosts plenty of events. For a quiet night in, you’ll find DirecTV and a DVD player in your RV. The Crab Shack also has WiFi, though here on the coast, the pace of both life and WiFi is slower than in the city.
When you’re ready to relax and call it a night, the sumptuous Full bed fit for royalty will bring you sweet dreams and a full night’s sleep. If you’re traveling with your little ones, they’ll be able to nestle into – or
build pillow forts out of – the turn-down bedding in the living area. When you’re ready to rise and shine, the children’s beds conveniently fold back into furniture.
Your coastal escape awaits! Come find your perfect hideout with Pacific Blue Vacations.
Noyo Harbor Noyo Harbor was first established as a port for logging and fishing back in the late 1800s. Noyo Harbor is an active, fully operational harbor, and is the first such harbor north of San Francisco Bay.
It’s a great place to take a stroll and check out a historic, working harbor up close. There is plenty to see and do (and eat). Noyo Harbor is home to some of the coast’s best restaurants, all within walking distance of Sportsman’s Park, so you have easy access to great food, refreshing drinks, spirited live music, and more.
The harbor is reminiscent of the famous Cannery Row in Monterey, which includes fisheries and a full marina with classic and vintage fishing vessels of all types. The harbor is a wonderful place for seal-watching, kayaking, or just sitting back and enjoying the foghorn and the coming and going of boats.
There have been many classic movies and T.V Shows filmed here through the years, including The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming! (1966), Humanoids from the Deep (1980), Overboard with Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn (1987), and the T.V series Murder, She Wrote (1980s).

STUFF THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW
THIS RENTAL IS LOCATED IN AN RV PARK IN THE HARBOR
This rental is located in a classic, old school RV park that have been in the harbor for decades. I personally think that is adds to the rustic harbor experience but there are some who do not like being in an RV park. Please look through all of the photos on this rental so you can get an idea of what the park is like so you can make a personal determination if this is right for you .
IN THE HOUSE This rental is all about getting away from it all, the unit does have WiFi but NO PHONE in the unit. The beds are all custom made and are super comfy. There is some super cool ceiling mood lighting as well as a small deck to get out end enjoy the sounds and feel of the harbor.
GARBAGE There are garbage cans for the trailer park at the inside entrance to the park on the left side when looking back from the unit.
VEHICLES There is only room for one vehicle which can park directly beside the unit. If there is need for a second vehicle, please reach out to us so we can try to accommodate if possible. Since the parking is right behind the unit and there are other units close by, please try to be as quiet as possible early in the morning and late at night. Thank you !
PAY ATTENTION AND BE SAFE Children must be supervised at all times on the wharf. No climbing on the railing at any time for both children and adults

The house was very comfortable and decorated to match it's name! There was no film on any surfaces and it had everything we needed except measuring cups. We were central to all the beaches we like going to and restaurants. We will definitely be back. There was great communication with the host when needed. Thank you

The Crab Shack was perfect location to walk to very good restaurants and beautiful scenic views! Unit was clean and accommodating and everyone on the staff was kind, responsive and helpful. It is quite rainy this time of year but because the location offered many choices, that did not hinder our stay at all. We really enjoyed ourselves:)Thank you!

Great place- clean, cute decor, and great location. It was quiet yet in a bustling harbor district. Great restaurants within walking distance. Enough room for my sister, my mom and I all to have our own beds and space. Highly recommend ❤️

...another cool little "tiny" house, right there in Noyo Harbor. Clean, warm and cozy. I've stayed in three of their properties so far...all great. For me, traveling up there for work monthly, these have been perfect places to unwind after work, feel the ocean breeze with the windows open, listen to the rain, and curl up with a good book (or five).

I think it's cool that your trying different rentals, thats fun! I hope that you have been comfortable and that you were happy with your choice! Well be here for you the next time you need to head this way! Have a wonderful morning and great rest of your weekend!
This was my first time trying a place like this and I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and quiet the building was, how friendly the owner was, and how convenient it was to just have a calm spacious area to hang out after being tired from a days activities and driving. This was a great place to stay with kids and its proximity to amazing burritos and fish tacos was an added bonus. My kids loved the crab theme and the space as a whole.
We had a great time. The place was clean and the property manager went beyond expectations. Very helpful with recommendations of local events and food. Bring your own blankets if you plan to use pullouts.
