Summary: The crab shack had exactly what my family needed for a trip to the Texas coast! The kitchen was well stocked with all the cookware needed to prepare meals. There was even a wireless speaker setup for us to listen to music while we ate. Although we brought board games from home, my girls wanted to play the ones there. The beach is just a short walk across the road. The views of the gulf and bay from the wrap around porch were breathtaking. We will be back again!

Summary: Absolutely loved the stay. We rented a golf cart to ride up and down on the beach. So quiet! No neighbors! Donna’s home had everything you could need, so packing was minimal. My family and I can’t stop raving about how this was “Our Best Beach Trip”. Will be calling Donna again every time we visit home!

Summary: We stayed for Mother’s Day weekend and everything was perfect. The home is bright and welcoming and the owners were very responsive. We went to the beach, played pickle ball and just enjoyed our time there. It was the perfect weekend.
