About this property

John's Crab Shack - Fenced Backyard - Close Beach Walk

This house is an absolute gem! Do not let the affordable price of John's Crab Shack fool you! Nestled on a wooded corner lot, this four-bedroom home is just a quick five-minute scenic walk (paved sidewalk) to the beach. Guests do not have to cross over the the busy street of Oak Island Drive to get to the beach like similar homes in this price range. With two living rooms both equipped with TVs, separate dining room and fenced in backyard, John's Crab Shack's owners have lovingly decorated with your perfect family vacation in mind!

John's Crab Shack is waiting to help you create a relaxing vacation full of cherished memories. Enjoy yourself under the shady oaks of the fenced-in backyard. Load up the beach cart and stroll over the tidal creek to the beautiful beach or try your hand at surf fishing. Relax on the beach under our shibumi shade. No need to buy, rent, or bring your own as we provide one for you. Wash the sand from your feet in the private hot and cold outdoor shower. Put an umbrella in your drink and grab a book as you relax on the backyard deck. Whip up a gourmet meal in the well-stocked kitchen or grill out on the back-yard deck. For a rainy day, John's Crab Shack comes equipped with plenty of games, puzzles, and books to keep the whole family entertained. If that is not enough, then take a short drive to historic Southport to visit museums, art galleries, historic homes and then dine in one of Southport's many excellent restaurant . For day trips, historic downtown Wilmington is only 40 minutes, Myrtle Beach is an easy 1 hour drive or take a scenic ferry ride to exclusive Bald Head Island. There is also a convenience store just one block away on the way to the beach. A public floating dock 5 streets away and a public fishing dock 6 streets away.

With plenty of room to spread out or get together for a family dinner, John's Crab Shack is truly a great family vacation home. The beaches of Oak Island are waiting for you...

John's Crab House
We had a wonderful time in this wonderful " happy" home! You can't help but feel good with all the fun and very unique features of this home! Walk to beach is 0.2 miles, an easy walk for the younger ones in our family. The beach is nice, and luckily, free parking during the winter months. There were 6 in our party, but this house is certainly big enough for more! All in all, this long weekend was a wonderful break for us! Hoping to stay here again!

Okay property
overall good. The property needs some updating.. There is a major dripping in the tub in the master bathroom. There is too much "stuff" all around in the closets and in the kitchen.

Great location!
The house, though older, was just right for our needs. The owners must be artistic as the interior walls are painted with multiple happy colors. The walls throughout are also adorned with brightly colored artwork. The location is excellent, very close to the water, quiet neighborhood with lovely areas to walk about in. Bicycles, kayaks, scooters, etc. available just as described. A nice large deck leads to a fenced in back yard. The nextdoor neighbor loaned us some rakes as the yard was covered in acorns and small limbs that would have been perfect for the backyard firepit. Unfortunately, we didn't do much raking or build a fire. The bike I chose had a flat tire and the airpump nozzle didn't fit the tire so I took a few good walkabouts instead. Ample sleeping, dining, and lounging areas throughout. My friends and I were very comfortable and our dogs had a great time exploring the back yard. Other than a stove that neither of us could figure out to use (nice and new) plus a more detailed cleanup list (prior to leaving) than I expected, our stay was most enjoyable. We also had great weather. Oak Island and nearby Southport offered multiple restaurants, antique and thrift shops and the traffic wasn't bad at all. I'd love to come back with my grands to take advantage of all the sports equipment provided by the hosts.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Bush

Host profile image
We have a huge family and love our family beach vacations. We are so happy to be able to provide a beach house for you to make your own vacation memories.

Why they chose this property

Surrounded by a green canopy of trees, it's hard to believe our house is just steps from the sand and water. Unlike other homes closer to the beach, our house has a user friendly fenced in yard instead of just sand and concrete. :)

What makes this property unique

Affordable, fenced in back yard, close to a beach access and public dock on the Davis Canal. Two living areas for large families to spread out.
