The location and fishing was great. Not all the lights for fishing worked and the outside kitchen and bath were very dirty and no running water. Over all, we had a great time and would visit again.
This was a great place to relax and fish. The view was incredible. Had a couple little things come up but manager was right in top of our questions. Very easy to work with. Hope to get back soon.

The property is located in a nice and quiet location. The view at the back of the property is wonderful and so relaxing. We really enjoy the area, but the cottage itself needs a lot of spiders webs clean up and microwave hood fan needs to get it fix, so it won’t be to smelly through the whole place when we cooks. Other than that the place is wonderful to come back again. The host was very nice and responsive right away if you have any concerns or problems. We would definitely visit again, if the place is all clean up.

Little Blue Crab
Had booked for 4 nights , stayed 2 nights due to the uncomfortable / odor from the bedding and sleeping arrangements .
House is great, just need to fix the dock light fixtures and restroom/sink . Not working at all. Also there are no water faucet to be use in the dock area. House is great.
Our stay was very hot and dirty. Contac name, and number was unresponsive to our calls. Would not recommend staying at this residence. I will not be back.
This property has lots of potential if needed improvements are made.
Entry steps are rotted and dangerous, boards on walkways are rotted Stay March 15 thru and loose making people subject to trip and fall.
Inside the property too many lightbulbs are out. Cooking pots and pans are worn out and should be replaced.
Inspite of these problems it’s a great location, it’s clean and very comfortable. My wife and I throughly enjoyed our stay.

Great place to get away, CJ was very helpful. I would definitely stay again.
This was a last minute getaway. Everything was great, CJ answered all questions and was extremely helpful. I will be back to rent "The Little Blue Crab" again, taking my boat. It was such a wonderful view watching sunrise, evening storms roll in and moon come up directly in front of us. Night fishing with the big dock lights. Catching blue crabs. Excellent trip!!
I absolutely loved the lil blue crab cabin! It was right on the water. There were lil crab crossings at night…so adorable. CJ, the property manager, was the best. If I needed anything he was available 24/7. I can’t wait to go back. I’ll def be returning on my next visit.
Excellent accommodations, property was more than I expected.
Unique design of interior., nicely decorated. Host was fantastic with communication to access and property and to contact him if anything needed.. Enjoyed our stay,.
Already have next trip booked at this location.
This property was exactly how described. No surprises. Very clean and functional.
Only thing I would improve on is new mattresses throughout. Very uncomfortable sleep. However, the property owner contacted me prior to arrival and told me the mattresses were poor.

Great location and view
Always enjoy Blue crab, great location, but furniture/comfort an issue, especially if more than 2 people stay.
Wonderful view and location. We love staying at the Blue crab and have rented it several times. We do wish the owners would update the furniture, chairs, bed and sofas for better comfort!
The place was absolutely amazing! It’s such a precious little home. The accommodations were definitely higher than we expected. CJ went above and beyond to make sure our stay was everything we wanted and then some. Would highly recommend this place to all my friends and family. We WILL BE BACK!!!
