Wonderfully Appointed & a Fantastic Backyard

I use VRBO often and have found my expectations are always met; this property was full of pleasant surprises. Some as simple as a power strip attached to the leg of a nightstand, making it so easy to charge your phone, to a basket full of snacks (something sweet and something salty) and bottled water. There was even a utensil in the fire pit so you can easily stir your fire. And the backyard is perfect. It’s completely fenced in, and all the small escape areas are blocked with wire fencing and stone. The outdoor furniture was attractive and comfortable. The kitchen was great too, nice water view from the window, plenty of counter space, and I loved the color scheme too. We had a wonderful time, the Blue Crab is a lovely home and Joe was a great host.

Nice Bungalow, clean, well equipped, great fire-pit! Comfy beds and pillows, nice waterfall shower.

Wish we could have stayed longer and that I had planned a bit better for the Easter Holiday weekend! The place was nice and comfortable. Close to the town and different activities. (Although being early in the season and EASTER - not much was open. - (My scheduling error) We enjoyed the Colonial Beach Brewery & the "Ice House" at Eugenes - on the water with live entertainment and GREAT soft shell crab sandwiches! Overall...GREAT! Our small dog enjoyed her stay as well! Many Thanks!

Comfortable Cottage

We enjoyed our stay. Colonial beach is central to many fossil hunting sites. My 15 year old son had a fabulous time collecting shark teeth all week. This cottage was quiet, comfortable, and met all of our needs.

Best Family Staycation

We had such a great time at the Blue Crab. The home is very clean inside and out, well organized and stocked with just about everything a family could need for a fun vacation. Host communication was wonderful and we felt very welcomed. Beds were comfy and the kids loved lounging in the saucer chairs. Weather was a bit on the colder side but we were still able to enjoy the beach and the home’s fantastic backyard. The kitchen is well appointed and the living room/dining room has several games that kept us off our cell phones and engaged in family time. This was our first trip to Colonial Beach and we’re looking forward to returning to the Blue Crab. All around great rental experience.
