Have your dream vacation in this adorable and refined 3 bedroom, 2 bath house right by the Bayou in Galveston. Welcome to the Crab Shack! 


Whether you're here to catch some fish, enjoy the beach, or go out on the town, you've found the perfect home base for all the above. Though the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, this home is close to EVERYTHING. 


4 minutes to great fishing
5 minutes to the beach and Seawall
6 minutes to Moody Gardens
7 minutes to Schlitterbahn, Pleasure Pier and The Historic Strand in downtown Galveston (depending on traffic)


You can have fun and do it all! Because home is only a few minutes away.


When you come home to the Crab Shack, there's plenty of space to help you relax.


Catch some rays or enjoy the ocean breeze on your two private decks.


Unwind in the lovely shaded patio under the house, complete with plenty of seating and table space to enjoy food or drinks, play cards, or just hang out. Let the kids play in the nice, spacious backyard. There's also an outdoor shower, so you can rinse off the salt and sand after a fun day at the beach. 


Inside of the home is a breath of fresh air. The open concept, unique decor, and sleek hardwood floors will put you in a vacation mood, instantly. Take a load off in the very cozy living area. There are two couches and two cushioned rocking chairs facing the large flatscreen TV. Wanting some home entertainment? The TV comes with cable, streaming, and an assortment of DVDs if you're feeling old school.


If you like having home-cooked meals while on vacation, you will love this home's kitchen and dining area. The large kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances and all the dishes, silverware, and cookware you need to make delicious dinners, snacks, breakfast, or lunches. When it's time to eat, the dining table has room for six.


A highlight of this home is the amazing coffee & breakfast bar located in the kitchen. On the bar, you'll find a Keurig-style coffee maker, a French Press, a blender, a Percolator, and an Espresso and Cappuccino maker.


After a fun-filled day in Galveston, you will get a good night's rest in this home. The master bedroom has a queen bed, a large wardrobe, and a nice full bathroom with a bathtub and tiled shower. Bedroom 2 also has a queen bed and a dresser. Bedroom 3 has a pair of twin beds. All bedrooms are adorably decorated and have ceiling fans to keep you cool while you sleep.

It was a very nice kitchen and floor plan. New fridge, and stove with plenty of pots and pans and dishes to cook and eat. The location was awesome! Nothing was farther than 15 minutes to drive. The beds were comfortable and the rooms clean. Check in couldn’t have been easier. And check out was just as clear. The table was perfect for eating and playing games. Pretty much just like the pictures. Thankful for a place like this to stay at on vacation with our 3 teens.

Very disappointing

There were roaches everywhere. Crumbs and dirt in the master bedroom all over the floor. One of the railings for the back balcony was broken which made it very dangerous for any small kids to be on the back balcony with us. I will never stay in this rental again!

Nice Place

The home was nice and clean. It was in a good location for everything we wanted to do. It could be stocked a little better, almost out of hand soap and no blow dryer. Extra blankets would've been nice. The only real problem we had that was very bothersome was the three roaches we seen. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.
