Really cute house that met all our needs. It was so clean and well kept. Kitchen had everything we needed, as well as the bathrooms and bedrooms. Beds were comfy. North Beach is a cute little town but the beach itself was crowed. So we ventured out and spent the day at Breezy Point Beach which was wonderful. Even drove out to Dunkirk and found a great playground for the grandkids. Everything was within a 20 min drive.

Great with kids and / or dogs

This is our second time staying with this host (we stayed at Lazy Crab next door last summer). Both houses are great for families with kids and dogs. Blue crab has the advantage of 2 bathrooms , which was helpful after the beach. The house has a couple stairs between living room and bedrooms and kitchen. Our toddler enjoyed the stairs but depending on the age of kids, this might be a consideration to choose Lazy Crab instead. Danielle was very quick to respond when we had questions. The Bakist cafe is only about 10 min walk and has great breakfast and lunch options, opens at 6 am. We also love the library with the best view of the bay. Would definitely come back again!

The perfect place

My family stayed at the Blue Crab for a quick anniversary trip. My husband and I were celebrating our 12 wedding anniversary. Our two children came along. This was the first time we visited North Beach and we fell in love with all of it! Our hosts provided an exceptionally clean home with everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Quick visit

Used to live in the area and came back to town to visit friends. We've stayed at Danielle's property next door (the Lazy Crab) and loved it, and thought we'd give the Blue Crab a try. As we expected, the property was beautiful, clean, and well appointed. Easy walking distance to restaurants and the boardwalk, and having the fenced yard for the pup makes life so easy. Danielle is very responsive and easy to work with...we highly recommend both of her properties!

Blue Crab Beach Cottage

Danielle was a phenomenal host. She curated a beautiful home away from home experience and has thought of everything so you don’t have to! Walk to the boardwalk and get coffee and croissants in the morning, sun bathe on the beach in the afternoon and enjoy dinner on the deck in the gorgeous backyard or at one of the many nearby places to eat! I will be returning, the experience was magical!

Perfect getaway!

We stayed here for a short pre honeymoon and loved it! Super easy to find and simple to get into. A short walk to the boardwalk with lots of great dining options. We loved the Hook and Vine, and the Bakist. The house is cozy and the bed was very comfy. One thing to note: the house is all one floor, but there are steps down into the bedrooms, bathroom, and the kitchen. It wasn’t an problem for us, but if you have mobility issues, this would be a drawback.

The hosts decorated this charming "tiny home " so cute and all of the little touches including nice hand soap! did not go unnoticed! If in town for that venue again, we would totally stay again and highly recommend to anyone else who needs a place to stay for the weekend!! PS We also loved being able to walk to the Wheelhouse beer garden and the North Beach boardwalk!!!
