Mouldy in the one community bedroom, and storage areas.

If there was no mould it would have been a great 1960’s beach experience. The appliances are all newish. BUT you must bring water shoes. There is no way to get in the water barefoot.

We loved this place and would definitely stay again. The furniture could use a good cleaning and the upstair views were amazing as well as the first level and deck. The deck furniture was dirty but we just put towels down. Please contact me for I have left a very special piece of jewelry behind a heart diamond necklace and some souvenirs . 530 917 4337 ps- I am hoping for some good old honesty of lost and found.

Where to begin?

+Location was fantastic! -#1 the lock box was broken, had to call the property manager (not very good at communication) only to be told he'd have to put in a work order, couldn't tell us when someone may be there to help, sat the our car in 9° cold weather with no idea when someone would come.........1 hour later we have someone there and he's finally gotten the house open....... -#2 no one turn the heat to even above freezing in the house before our arrival, as in the heat was completely OFF and the house was nearly as cold as outside! -#3 the only heat downstairs were two very small wall heaters, one of which stopped working on day 2! -#4 pellet stove did not work! -#5 the floors downstairs were filthy, the furniture clearly is not ever moved to even sweep under ( oh yeah, there were a pair of women's underwear under the couch that we saw when the foot rest was up!! Eww!) and there was more of the outside inside than outside. -#6 window sills were full of dead bugs left over from summer?! So all in all it would have been nice if the property manager had a) had someone turn on the heat at least a few hours before we got there it is January! b) a better entry system is most definitely needed.....keyless entry upgrade for the main door would not put them out enough to outweigh doing it!

Great views!

Great views, well equipped kitchen. Do bring your own keurig pods or pour over carafe for coffee. We brought our kayaks & were able to launch on low tide, you do have to navigate walking down narrow stairs to the water. As others have mentioned- the bedroom is in need of updating but found the queen bed comfortable. The outdoor area also needs sprucing up- we could not use the deck furniture as it was dirty & mossy. We brought our camp chairs and loved spending time out there. All in all, the house has good bones & the location is great.

Bug infested and dirty

Very nice views otherwise a dump. Neighbors have large wind chimes making it hard to sleep other neighbors have lights flashing all night. Place was very buggy and dirty. Trash left from the previous rental? Dog poop in the yard making it hard to access the hot tub. Lights on the outside don’t work makes it hard to access the house at night. Cleaners came our first morning waking us up at 8am?

Peace and serenity on Hood Canal

If you are looking for somewhere to rest relax and enjoy the water, this is the place to be. The Crabshack is cozy, comfortable and has a great location. It is clean comfortable living on the water's edge.

Quiet Place, Lovely View, Great Living Area

We loved the great view at this cabin. The deck was wonderful, living room, kitchen and bathroom were all perfect! However, the dirt road down to the cabin might seem a little scary for some drivers.
