Crab Shack - Within walking distance to the local fishing and crab charters in the Noyo harbor

Crab Shack

The Crab Shack is in a vintage RV park in the historic Noyo Harbor ~

NOTE: If you are bringing pet's , please let us know!
We do charge a fee of seventy five dollars per pet.

This rental is completely pet friendly - We do charge a flat rate pet fee of $75.00 per pet and that fee covers the whole stay!

The Mendocino Coast and Noyo Harbor are known for delicious local
Dungeness crab. Touted as the tastiest crab of all, the Dungeness crab
has a well-deserved reputation among crustacean connoisseurs.

At our fun and fresh new vacation rental, the Crab Shack, you’ll be
within easy walking distance of award-winning restaurants, where you
can enjoy “ocean-to-table” cuisine and savor amazing crab-based
dishes here in Noyo Harbor.

The Crab Shack offers the perfect refugefor your relaxing getaway, and it’s just steps from the water.

Watch the boats come in, wander the beach, and wend your way to
local shops and restaurants – when you’re here at the historic
Sportsman’s Park in Noyo Harbor, you get to set your own pace.

The Crab Shack offers the perfect balance of R&R and adventure. Spend
your days exploring the coast and experiencing the ocean’s bounty,
then return to the sanctuary of your beach-inspired accommodations.

Noyo Harbor may be off the beaten path, but you won’t have to rough
it: This luxurious furnished Tiny home comes fully-equipped – including the
kitchen, so if you like to cook, you can stroll to the market to purchase
fresh seafood and other ingredients. (Whether you prefer to eat in or
dine out, you’ve got plenty of great options, including vegan ones.)

For evening entertainment, you have lots of options! If you’re looking
for a night out on the town, the coast hosts plenty of events. For a quiet
night in, you’ll find DirecTV and a DVD player in your RV. The Crab
Shack also has WiFi, though here on the coast, the pace of both life and
WiFi is slower than in the city.

When you’re ready to relax and call it a night, the sumptuous Full
bed fit for royalty will bring you sweet dreams and a full night’s sleep. If
you’re traveling with your little ones, they’ll be able to nestle into – or

build pillow forts out of – the turn-down bedding in the living area.
When you’re ready to rise and shine, the children’s beds conveniently
fold back into furniture.

Your coastal escape awaits! Come find your perfect hideout with Pacific
Blue Vacations.

Noyo Harbor
Noyo Harbor was first established as a port for logging and fishing back in the late
1800s. Noyo Harbor is an active, fully operational harbor, and is the first such harbor
north of San Francisco Bay.

It’s a great place to take a stroll and check out a historic, working harbor up close. There is
plenty to see and do (and eat). Noyo Harbor is home to some of the coast’s best restaurants, all
within walking distance of Sportsman’s Park, so you have easy access to great food, refreshing
drinks, spirited live music, and more.

The harbor is reminiscent of the famous Cannery Row in Monterey, which includes
fisheries and a full marina with classic and vintage fishing vessels of all types. The
harbor is a wonderful place for seal-watching, kayaking, or just sitting back and
enjoying the foghorn and the coming and going of boats.

There have been many classic movies and T.V Shows filmed here through the years,
including The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming! (1966), Humanoids from
the Deep (1980), Overboard with Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn (1987), and the T.V
series Murder, She Wrote (1980s).

STUFF THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW

THIS RENTAL IS LOCATED IN AN RV PARK IN THE HARBOR

This rental is located in a classic, old school RV park that have been in the harbor for decades. I personally think that is adds to the rustic harbor experience but there are some who do not like being in an RV park. Please look through all of the photos on this rental so you can get an idea of what the park is like so you can make a personal determination if this is right for you .

IN THE HOUSE
This rental is all about getting away from it all, the unit does have WiFi but NO PHONE in the unit. The beds are all custom made and are super comfy. There is some super cool ceiling mood lighting as well as a small deck to get out end enjoy the sounds and feel of the harbor.

GARBAGE
There are garbage cans for the trailer park at the inside entrance to the park on the left side when looking back from the unit.

VEHICLES
There is only room for one vehicle which can park directly beside the unit. If there is need for a second vehicle, please reach out to us so we can try to accommodate if possible. Since the parking is right behind the unit and there are other units close by, please try to be as quiet as possible early in the morning and late at night. Thank you !

PAY ATTENTION AND BE SAFE
Children must be supervised at all times on the wharf. No climbing on the railing at any time for both children and adults

Another home run for the Pacific Blue team...

...another cool little "tiny" house, right there in Noyo Harbor. Clean, warm and cozy. I've stayed in three of their properties so far...all great. For me, traveling up there for work monthly, these have been perfect places to unwind after work, feel the ocean breeze with the windows open, listen to the rain, and curl up with a good book (or five).

The Crab Shack was perfect location to walk to very good restaurants and beautiful scenic views! Unit was clean and accommodating and everyone on the staff was kind, responsive and helpful. It is quite rainy this time of year but because the location offered many choices, that did not hinder our stay at all. We really enjoyed ourselves:)Thank you!

The Crab Shack was perfect for us. We had relatives and friends drop by while we stayed there. We had plenty of room with the couch and the recliner to visit, along with the kitchen table to eat at. The place was immaculately clean. Prior to our arrival I called the office and left a VM, Carlon called me back and answered my questions and was very friendly. We would absolute do this again!!!

This was my first time trying a place like this and I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and quiet the building was, how friendly the owner was, and how convenient it was to just have a calm spacious area to hang out after being tired from a days activities and driving. This was a great place to stay with kids and its proximity to amazing burritos and fish tacos was an added bonus. My kids loved the crab theme and the space as a whole.
