    Great Little Cottage in a Great Little Town
    This was our third stay at the Blue Crab Cottage. We love the new look. We picked Blue Crab because we can walk to so many different places. This visit we never even took the car out- just walked to restaurants, stores and the beach. We love walking to the beach for sunrise and later, walking to the bay for sunset.

    Nice holiday stay
    The Blue Crab Cottage was the ideal fit for our group, not too small, not too big, nice and cozy, just right. Fenced in yard for our two dogs worked out great. We always love the holiday decorations down on the Town common area/square in front of Hunan Diner when we visit around Christmas, especially the large manger scene.

    Cute cottage
    Very cute cottage updated with amazing seaside decor! The pictures on the internet made it look larger than it was but we enjoyed it anyway. Our dog really enjoyed the fenced-in yard. Very helpful information about the area in the notebook for first time visitors.

    Adorable abode with lots of thoughtful touches
    So much to appreciate about this place! From the convenient walking distance to the beach, to the cute and quaint accommodations, and all the sweet little touches of hospitality throughout, it was perfect for our group. Our Boston Terrier loved the fenced in yard and we spent a lot of time hanging out in the screened in porch. The ceiling fans kept the house airy and cool in all the rooms, and everything was adequately cleaned beforehand. Was also pleased there was no noticeable pet odor as typical with pet friendly environments. I would definitely stay here again.

    Beautiful, Cozy Cottage
    We are from the Philly area and were looking for an alternative to the busy NJ and MD oceanfronts. Colonial Beach and Blue Crab Cottage did not disappoint. Clean, quaint and within a golf cart ride of good restaurants, the beach and marinas, we enjoyed our quiet getaway! The house was just what we needed!

    Great cottage near the beach
    My husband and I had a lovely stay here for a weekend getaway. It is within easy walking distance of a local brewery that has live musiv Friday and Saturday evenings. Also a short walk to the beach. I would recommend this home for a couple or small family.
