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.

Improvements required

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!!
