Mac’s Crab Shack was so great. Perfect location and comfy, clean place! Beds were super comfy! The 4 of us really enjoyed it. Only issue is I couldn’t find any salt and pepper 🤣 was great and we will stay again!

Avari response:

We’re thrilled to hear that you and your group had such a great time at Mac's Crab Shack! It sounds like you really enjoyed the comfy beds and the perfect location, which is exactly what we aim for. We appreciate your feedback about the salt and pepper; we’ll make sure to check on that for future guests. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another stay—there’s always more to explore on Dauphin Island!

I really enjoyed working with the Avari team, not only were they responsive and attentive to my needs, they made sure checking in was flexible and pain free.

The location of the crab shack is great, the home is situated in between two homes, with space for your 4 legged friends, and only about 100ft from the sandy white beaches and warm water of the Gulf.

Will be going back again, thank you for the opportunity to create the memories I did with my dogs

I wanted to love it, it’s my childhood vacation home and is the perfect walk to the beach.
But… you can tell it’s a rental and not a well-loved home anymore. Wobbly steps and loose balusters (a little freaky when you have a toddler), very worn deck and built-in seating on the deck, and a full garbage bin upon arrival (the host was responsive, at least!).
Be sure to pack your own trash bags, hand soap, laundry soap, etc. because what you’re provided is not enough to last the full duration of a trip, which is a little discouraging for the price.
Overall, I’ve stayed in much better equipped Airbnb’s and will probably stay elsewhere for my next visit. The nostalgia was great, though!
