Crab Cottage

Don’t think of this as a cabin but as a shack for camping. It’s has a great location, all the essentials minus AC and washer/dryer but it gets the job done. One isn’t ever really there except to sleep so it’s minor issues aren’t a problem. It has board games like the game of life, a Roku TV, and extra bedding for a pullout couch. The biggest issue was that the entry code and WiFi information was incorrect (which I saw mentioned in another review but thought it would be fixed) which was very annoying since there is no service and couldn’t even connect to the WiFi to get any help so I had to keep driving to find signal. The address they give you is missing a digit so you think you got to the wrong house so a picture of the actual outside would be helpful. The bathroom blinds are broken so there is a lack of privacy but these things can be easily fixed. 4 stars if fixed.

Address was wrong , there were amendments listed that weren't there, the key code was wrong, the wifi password was wrong, and the shower was straight up scary with a broken faucet valve. I have no plans to use their service ever again. Going to give them a google review tomorrow.

The back deck has a great view of the ocean, it is very close to the beach, the beds were actually comfortable, and the water in the shower was actually hot.

We had stayed at the Crab Cottage several years ago and loved it. Unfortunately this time (June '26) there were some issues. The front door lock was broken making it possible for anyone outside to unlock the door without a key, and the electricity on one half of the building was not working except for an occasional flicker, which was pretty scary. When we arrived there were power strips daisy chained over the stove top to power the WIFI because the outlet near the cable entrance was not working. Having the power cords strung through the kitchen, and limited outlets made cooking difficult (toaster, coffee maker, moving cords to use the stove). We did get in touch with the management and were told we would be issued a refund because of the issues, but after two weeks we still had not received a refund. In reaching out to Vacasa and the local manager again I learned the refund had never been requested. At the time of writing this review I have been told that this time a partial refund is in process. Those issues aside, the Crab Cottage is a cool funky beach cabin in an awesome location, and we had a good time playing on the beach. We would return had we had a different experience. The manager has told us that the issues will be fixed before any more renters are allowed to stay.

Issues with digital lock not working correctly

This was a darling cottage with direct access to the beach. We encountered a few issues and haven't heard back from Vacasa but that isn't the problem for the home owner. It was perfect for a passing through experience
