Great chill spot near Mustang Island State Park

We usually hit up the state park during our stays in Corpus and this place was a perfect location. It was quiet, away from the main road through North Padre, and near all the places we like to visit. Communication with Sheryl was great, would definitely like to stay again.

Great 2 Night Getaway

Wish we had more time to enjoy The Crab House! We slept great in the comfy beds and dark cool bedrooms. We really loved the decor and special touches Sheryl made to her place to make us feel right at home. Super close to Whitecap Beach and you could practically walk to Schlitterbahn is you wanted too. Overall a great stay, The TXFloods

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!

The Crab House

We had a great week at the coast. Property was just what we expected. Not fancy but neat & tidy. Only recommendation I would make is to replace or remove the carpet in the near future. We love Spinnaker condos. Thanks for the memories!

Perfect family condo!

We had 6 ppl-2 adults and four kids. We all fit very comfortably and it was close to all of our points of interest. The pool was excellent and clean. I felt really safe going to and from even at night.. Really couldn't have been a better stay. One of my 5 yr old boys cried when we left bc he "loved it so much there and it was really cute and now our old house is so boring", so there's his review! Haha

Great location

This condo was located in a beautiful place. I love that it was on the water. We were able to fish from the dock while our son played in the pool. Also, cooked hamburgers on the outside grill. The condo does need a deep cleaning and we dealt with ants in the master closet. The host communicated well and listened to all my complaints. Overall, with a few issues corrected I would stay here 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!

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

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.
