We had an absolutely incredible stay at The Blue Crab! From the moment we booked, Dan was nothing short of amazing—friendly, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure our trip was perfect. He answered every question quickly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The house itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and even better than the photos. It had everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing stay, and the attention to detail was obvious in every corner. You can tell Dan truly cares about both his guests and the property. If you’re looking for a place that combines a fantastic host with a stunning home, The Blue Crab is it. We can’t recommend Dan and his home highly enough—already looking forward to coming back!

We enjoyed our stay during the week! The house was very spacious, and kitchen had what we needed. The pool was so fun for the kids!Dan was an outstanding host. His response time was quick and whatever we brought to his attention was addressed immediately. We really appreciate it! The walk to the beach wasn’t bad at all, and we enjoyed having Finn’s shack and bar right around the corner.. a must visit!!
