Nice place

Overall we were happy with our stay. The condo had everything we needed. The showers/tubs were a little hard to balance in because of their narrow curved feature so you just have to be careful with that. The location was perfect for what we needed, 5 minute drive to Whitecap Beach, super close to resturants. The community was quiet and there was plenty of parking. All in all we had a nice time!

Great location at a great price

Only a minor and I mean very miner- the patio was messy due to the swifts and their nest. Overall, we will be back! The owners were responsive and informative.

Won't be back

I booked for Friday and Saturday nights to celebrate my son's 10th birthday. Got there on Friday night and the door code didn't work. Tried to call and text the owner and got no response. Got hold of the property manager, who was never told that the unit had been booked, and told me that it hadn't been cleaned yet. I had to book a motel for the night, which I was reimbursed for. Apparently the owner is out of the country, and didn't get the booking? Now I'm waiting for a refund of my booking. We didn't get into the unit until around 11am Saturday. Not the property manager's fault at all, and she was very communicative, but it kind of threw the whole weekend off. The unit itself was cute, but the balcony is filthy, with rusty furniture and dirty cushions on the chairs. Makes it a bit difficult to enjoy. For the amount of money paid for 2 nights, it was 100% not worth it.

Disappointed

First off the boat lift was completely broken. The docks are in horrible condition. Some are roped off because of their condition. Got charged 100 bucks for a globe on a ceiling fan that was already in that condition. It took days for our clogged sink to work and get fixed. The stove had a short in it to where the burners got way to hot. Got locked in the bedroom because the door know was broke. Nothing to mop the floor with. Blinds broke the moment I lifted them up. The windows didn't open all the way. There is no warning that you have to leave your vehicle hooked up at all times to your truck. Would not recommend thus condominium or go back. Corpus was beautiful though

Place was very clean and the neighborhood was quiet and friendly. The host was easy to get in touch with and very sweet. We couldn't get the TV to work in the living area but other than that I have no complaints. I would definitely stay again!

Great Cozy Getaway

We loved The Crab House! It was so great and met all of our needs perfectly! Really big master suite with a king bed. All the rooms had tvs with cable so it was great for the kids. We drank coffee on the balcony, watched the boats on the canal and thoroughly enjoyed watching the nest of baby birds. Very small critiques: there were several light bulbs out which made the hall shower almost impossible to use because it was extremely dark. There were also not any bedskirts, which may not bother most bit just a thing I thought I'd mention. The condo is a tad dated with the floors being uneven in spots and the sides of the kitchen counters lifting in areas. Really and truly though, it's in the perfect location and very cozy. The beds were very comfortable, it was clean and everything worked as it should. We will definitely stay at The Crab House again!

Great stay

It was a cute little condo with a great location. Pretty beaches less than 5 mins away! Good size rooms and bathrooms and very clean. There’s a pool and hot tub that overlooks the channel water behind the condo with some tables. Keep in mind there’s a floor above you and we could hear the people walking around a lot. Other than that though, it’s a great place to stay :)
