Welcome to Crab Shack – Your Private Island Escape in Holmes Beach

Discover the perfect blend of space, comfort, and coastal charm at Crab Shack, a beautifully renovated beach retreat designed with families and groups in mind. This unique duplex-style home offers the ideal balance of togetherness and privacy, making it perfect for larger groups traveling together.

Step into your own private outdoor oasis featuring a heated pool, hot tub, fire pit, putting green, and spacious patio—perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach or enjoying unforgettable evenings under the Florida sky. With plenty of seating, a gas grill, and inviting outdoor spaces, this home is built for making memories.

Location is everything—and you’re just steps from it all.

Inside, you’ll find two fully equipped kitchens with modern appliances, making meal prep a breeze for large groups. The open and airy living spaces are filled with natural light and offer comfortable seating, smart TVs, board games, and entertainment options for everyone to enjoy.
