This place is everything we imagined it to be for my family. My kids fell in love with this place. My wife absolutely loved it from the moment she walked into the house.

Thank you for your review, Brian! We loved hearing how much you enjoyed your stay at The Blue Crab. We hope to see you again next time!

Loved the home it’s very pretty, well laid out for different at age, allows for large groups to cook, individuals to find space to relax and overall property is maintained very well. We were a little disappointed with the lack of cleanliness we understand it’s a huge house and probably takes a while to flip after each guest ; found a sock and garment in and under bed, mold in vents and shower walls and trash in dryer from prior guest.
The outdoor area is grand and makes for lovely evenings poolside and there is enough fridge for storage in the house for 2-3 groups. However due to some seating being worn down we didn’t utilize the living room as much.

The house has great gathering spaces in the kitchen and poolside. The beach is an easy 5-minute walk down the street. Our fishing boat was able to pick us up at the docks right across the street. Overall, a very nice house in a great location on AMI. We loved our stay!
