Wonderful stay!

Very clean, spacious home, beds are very comfortable. We love the fenced in back yard and all the porches. Large families can stay together and spend as much time together as they want but the home also allows plenty of space to have private, quiet time too. Host is very prompt and proactive with communication.

Enjoyed it!

The house was a great space for our family - from grandkids to grandparents. Everything was clean, it was helpful having the beach gear already there, and it's just across the street from the beach!

Great place. Really enjoyed the house. Great size for our family trip. Loved the yard for the dogs. Loved the baby gates on each floor to keep the dogs on the right floor. Overall 10/10.

Great Getaway

Our long weekend getaway to Blue Crab Bay was everything we hoped it would be! The house itself was beautifully decorated, well maintained, and well stocked. It accommodated our party of 12 comfortably. The proximity to the beach made for easy trips back and forth to the house. We had plenty of parking to accommodate our large party. Our host, Angela, was amazing to work with and quick to respond to inquiries. She was even provided us with several recommendations on locations for our son's proposal. We definitely recommend Blue Crab Bay for anyone looking for a fabulous beach getaway, and will definitely book it again!

Fantastic location and lovely set up.

4th year of going to the beach with a group of 40 something adults plus one dog. It’s always hard to find everything needed but this one checked all the boxes. - great location (2-3 minute walk to the beach) - king size beds in most bedrooms - plenty of bathrooms - enough sitting for groups to hang out together - well stocked kitchen with enough dishes to cook if needed with all the appliances you need - decor was soothing with a nod to nautical themes - extra blankets - communicative and friendly host who was super helpful - good toilet paper for my tummy sensitive folks We’re definitely going to check this place first for open availability for future trips.

Beautiful home and great location very close to beach!

We traveled with our 3 adult children and their partners/friends- 8 adults total. The house is beautifully designed for a large group with everyone having comfortable accommodation. The beach is just steps away! So nice! Restaurants/bars/coffee shops are a short drive (not really walkable). The house is well equipped with much of what you’ll need. I loved that they had beach towels/chairs and wagon to use- that was very helpful! Many nice touches like shampoo and soap in all of the bathrooms and a variety of snacks in the kitchen. The house was perfect and we hope to return!

Perfect location, perfectly appointed!

Flawless experience beginning to end. Thank you Angela for such a great experience! Beautifully decorated home with spacious/private bedrooms throughout and decks with ocean views. Feels brand new everywhere! The primary suite is an oasis with its own outdoor space. A very short walk to the beach - convenient for quick trips back to the [wine] fridge. Quiet neighborhood vibe safe for jogging, short drive to the restaurants/shops. Everything is here for fun inside and out -- beach chairs/towels, sand toys, games, cozy deck furniture and more. Safe, well-lit gated backyard is perfect for grilling, letting the kids and dogs run. If you want to be spoiled on vacation this house is for you!

A Must Stay in Carolina Beach

The listing is most accurate but wait till you arrive. The house is a standout and absolutely amazing. Fresh, clean, and very inviting and will accommodate your big family. The first floor has a game room with a sofa sleeper and bathroom. Second floor has 3 master suites and a large laundry room. The third floor has a master suite, a bedroom with bunks, a half bath, fully stocked kitchen, walk-in pantry, as well as dining room and family room. The second and third floors have large decks and the steps are protected with baby gates. The home also has an elevator. Now, the location to the beach is perfect. Only takes about a minute to reach the sand. When we return to Carolina Beach this house will be our rental. We have no complaints when it came to our stay at Blue Crab Bay
