About this property

The Brass Crab - Check in/out any day!

This charming rancher is ready to welcome you and your family. Come make memories in the cozy and relaxing space. Enjoy this redone home on large lot perfect for family games of kickball and tag after a fun day at the beach. This home sleeps 8-9 folks comfortably. It has a stocked kitchen, a dining area and living room with 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. There is an outdoor shower and foot rinse (April-November). Just added for Fall 2024: Disc Golf unit for the backyard and 8 new outdoor chairs.
The driveway can hold roughly 8 vehicles, please do not park (or drive) on the grass. This home is walking distance to the Veterans Park (.8 mile) and is away from the town's bustle. We are a 7 minute drive to the beach and roughly a 20 minute bike to the beach. The Brass Crab is set up with families in mind with child friendly spaces, bunk beds and open places to play, but can easily work for 3 couples as well.
Queen rooms are on the East side of the house, the other two bedrooms are on the west. The main living space is in the middle of the 4 bedrooms. All rooms have white noise makers and blackout curtains.
All rooms have space for a pack-n-play. A pack-n-play, portable highchair, and a diaper changing pad are available in the bunk closet. This closet also contains outdoor games and the rainy day box. We will leave these in place but recommend you clean them prior to your use.
There is 1 TV in the living room and wireless internet. We provide Prime video and Netflix.
This is a 3/4 acre lot with a large front yard and a fenced backyard. A walkway, patio, and fire pit area have been added to the outdoor space for additional fun and relaxation! You'll need to bring your own wood, and you'll want bug spray.
Please send a message with additional questions and we would be happy to help.

Beautiful family friendly space!

I don’t think you could’ve asked for a better spot to stay with kiddos! But also- it was comfy, clean and roomy! We enjoyed our stay here and think that this is the best spot we’ve stayed at on the island thus far. The enclosed backyard was lovely as well as a generous sized front yard!

This was a great pick for our family vacation! The house comfortably fit 5 adults and 3 children with plenty to do. The enclosed backyard was a bonus for our active children. The area was quiet and it was a short drive to everything. All in all, we would absolutely book again.

Great for a Family

This is a cute house that is much bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. It has a large open kitchen with a large selection of tools and utensils for making meals. The bedrooms were nicely appointed, and just about anything you'd want to do on the island was within a short drive (less than 20 minutes).

Amazing Beach Retreat!

The Brass Crab has everything! 4 bed rooms (more than we needed) two bathrooms, a spacious backyard, grill, outdoor seating, and firepit! The decor was beachy and stylish and the kitchen had everything we needed to make amazing meals at home. My 6 year old daughter loved the room with the bunk beds, and the TV had all the streaming apps we needed to hunker down for a movie after a long day at the beach. The house is so easy to get to and a short drive from the grocery store and amazing eats like Woody's and Pico! Highly recommend and we definitely want to come back to this amazing property!! Communication with the owner was so easy and timely!

Five Stars for sure

The house was perfect for our family of five! When we arrived it was clean and felt like home. The kitchen is very well stocked. We cooked at least one meal and day from pancakes, spaghetti, even the crab we caught and had everything we needed to do so. The wash stations in the front and back helped everyone quickly clean off from the beach. Fenced in backyard is very private and peaceful. Neighbors are friendly. Host was quick with all communications and a pleasure to book from. Highly recommend to anyone looking! We plan to return in the future.

Girls' Trip

We had a great time at the Brass Crab!! The house was just as described. I was a little nervous that it would be too small for our group of 8; however, that wasn't at all the case. The layout of the home worked well with the bedrooms in the corners of the home and the common areas in the middle. The outdoor area was perfect to enjoy the nice October weather, and the outdoor shower was wonderful. The beds were comfortable although I do recommend bringing your own pillows as the ones provided were very thin. We went to Oyster Festival, which was held at Tom's Cove Park, and were able to walk, which was a huge benefit to us. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this rental to anyone looking to visit the island, especially if you'll be attending any events at Tom's Cove Park. I didn't interact with the owner during our stay as there was no reason to - all detailed information provided in the check-in instructions were accurate, there was a list on the fridge that had additional information, and the house was as promised. I did exchange a few emails shortly after booking; my questions were immediately and clearly answered. I would not hesitate to stay here again if I find myself back in the area!

The Brass Crab is a fantastic house for a family vacation. While not overly large, it comfortably fit 4 adults and 2 young children. The kitchen was appropriately stocked and there were plenty of baby items so you don’t have to pack your own. The house was extremely clean. While we didn’t use the backyard, it is a nice large flat yard to play outside. The host was very friendly and helpful with answering questions about the area. Definitely recommended.
