Excellent stay
This house is absolutely perfect. All rooms were very spacious and the house was very clean. The screened in lanai was perfect for games nights and the pool was perfect to get cooled off. The location is great for shopping and many local restaurants. Bonus was the pontoon boat which the guys loved and used everyday for fishing and boat rides. Overall 5 star.

Annual Vacation
When we arrived the owners were there to greet us and go over driving the pontoon (we have a pontoon so we knew how to drive one) and where we could go. The home is beautiful and the layout is perfect. We also received a fruit and cheese platter with a bottle of wine. I would recommend this property for a vacation! There are cameras outside to monitor the property.

Florida Get Away
The owners are lovely people. Upon our arrival they personally checked us in. They spent time visiting and answering our questions. They also reviewed the proper operation of the pontoon boat. We had 4 wonderful days of boating. The property is beautiful inside and out. It is immaculate and tastefully decorated in a beach theme. Everything you need is provided. The saltwater pool is beautiful and very relaxing. The neighborhood quiet and the neighbors are friendly. This VRBO home is one of the nicest we have ever stayed at and I highly recommend it!

Perfect piece of paradise
We have stayed in many VRBO's and this by far is the best one! It was so clean and they had everything! The decor was beautiful and fitting for the Crabshack. The beds were so comfy and the furniture too! Everything was in great shape! The hosts were attentive and made sure check in went smooth and check out. They went out of their way to make sure we had the best stay and we did! We loved every single day. There is not one suggestion we could make to make this stay any better. They thought of and have everything needed to have the perfect vacation! We will definitely be back and are so happy we found this! Thankyou to Kim and Brenda! We had a relaxing time and your house was perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Kim and Brenda

Host profile image
We reside in NE Wisconsin and love to travel. After staying at several Florida VRBO locations, we fell in love with Gulf Harbors. One day we will retire and live in Gulf Harbors, but for now we want to share this amazing place with others. It is our goal to help make your vacation the best experience possible.

Why they chose this property

We love Gulf Harbors, and all it has to offer. This is a quiet friendly family neighborhood. If you are looking for a party place this isn't the right location for you. Experience the convenience of fishing, swimming and boating in the channel right outside your back door. There are 2 private docks. We frequently see the dolphins and manatees from the dock. We have kayaks and bikes for your use. Just a 20 minute boat ride on the included pontoon boat brings you to the beautiful Anclote Island State Preserve or the pet friendly sand bar. Here you can imagine you are floating in the Bahamas with white sand beaches and warm shallow gulf waters. There are tons of shells and fish..
Stocked with everything you need or a great vacation. We provide beach towels, beach chairs, sun umbrella, fishing poles, snorkeling equipment, assorted size life jackets, a large gas grill, wireless printer, high speed internet, baby/children items include high chair, pack n play, stroller, locks for kitchen cabinets, bike trailer, inside toys, beach toys, wagon, ride on toys and plastic dinnerware for the children.

What makes this property unique

The boat is included at no extra charge and is yours for your entire stay. You must have prior boating experience to drive the boat. Beautiful salt water pool has a sun shelf with bubblers, nice for sun bathers, babies and toddlers to play in the shallow water. The screened lanai with travertine patio opens to the pool deck. The screened lanai also opens into the living room dining room and Master bedroom by large sliders. After booking online we will email you the rental contract for your signature. .
