This lil'quaint place deserves 10 stars...it was perfect for our 4 day getaway, fishing right outside the door, plenty crab traps and sunrise /sunsets were awesome...been renting bnb's for 10 years and this was the best!

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.

The location and fishing was great. Not all the lights for fishing worked and the outside kitchen and bath were very dirty and no running water. Over all, we had a great time and would visit 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!!

Only thing I would improve on is new mattresses throughout. Very uncomfortable sleep. However, the property owner contacted me prior to arrival and told me the mattresses were poor.

This cottage was perfect for our party of three. The home is spacious and comfortable. The only thing misleading is about the fully equipped kitchen. The site says dishwasher but these 🙌🏻 we’re the only dishwasher around.

4/10

We chose this property for it location and amenities. The location was great. Unfortunately we arrived a couple days after hurricane Zeta. We were not told that there was no internet or cable. The property was extremely muddy. The boat house was wet and muddy. The entire deck was in similar condition. The deck/pier is in need of repair. There were multiple warped boards that could be a hazard, especially at night. Some of the lights on the pier were out. When we arrived, all of the furniture was placed on the countertop to prior to the storm. We had to do a lot of heavy lifting and moving furniture to make it livable. We contacted management who said he recently got cable restored at his home. He said he didn’t know it was reserved for the weekend. He was not one bit apologetic about the absence of cable or wifi, nor did he care that the place was not ready to receive guests. He told us he would call us back the following day regarding cable and internet restoration, but we never heard from Al again! I must admit the property location was perfect. We will definitely visit the area again, but not the same property.

8/10

Only issue we had as a family is no cable tv We had kids that at night enjoy watching tv .
