Get away with great friends!

We were booked to go to OBX, but the snowstorm changed that...so plan B! Plan B was a fantastic choice...great place to chill out, drink wine, dance and relax by the bonfire! Hosts were very quick to respond to emails, the beds were comfy and the kitchen stocked! I'd love to come back (I live in Oregon) and bring my grandsons here this Summer!

Family vacation

This vacation house was perfect for our family. We loved the location. We enjoyed kayaking every day and fishing. It was nice sitting down by the water around the fire pit, after a long day. The game room was an added bonus. We can’t wait to come back again sometime.

Beautiful home and view

Our first time on the Northern Neck My only real complaint is beyond the homeowners' control but warrants a mention: There are days when the air stinks. Reedville is home to Omega Protein, a huge fish processor. When the wind blows the wrong way, and the plant is operating, the air is nearly unbearable, especially combined with heat and humidity. For us this was three days out of the week. Wasn't a problem on the weekend. Other than that, it was great. Property is pretty. Lots of birds, kayaking and swimming were great. We saw no jellyfish. House is comfortable and well-equipped. Only a few minor issues: master shower leaks onto the floor, air hockey table doesn't really work, and if there was a salt shaker in the house I couldn't find it.

Nice Secluded Waterfront Property w/ Private Dock

My family and I overall enjoyed our stay at this nice secluded waterfront property in Reedville. Things we really liked about the property was the private dock, big yard, and firepit area. The view at sunset from the dock was awesome! The property also included several kayaks and a paddle boat which we rode and enjoyed doing the most while staying there. Check-in and access to the house was very easy. The host was very communicative and provided detailed check-in information. The house itself was very spacious for my family of four and dog. We enjoyed the game room in the basement. One minor personal inconvenience we had though were the beds. Everyone in my family sleeps on firm mattresses but all the beds were either too soft or had foam mattresses that made us sink in to the beds. Another small issue was the slippery soft water from the faucet and shower which I could not get used to. I couldn't tell if I washed off all the soap on my body after taking a shower because the water felt so slippery like soap. Other than these two minor issues, this was a great property to rent if you are looking for a nice private, quiet, and relaxing family getaway!

Only thing was the kids couldn’t swim. We went to a beach and water was overtaken by jelly fish. Of course this is not an issue with the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Relaxing and Adventurous

Beautiful house bringing nostalgia with modern amenities; love the books, game room, showers, large kitchen, luxurious beds, colors and patterns in the interior. Gorgeous hydrangeas and magnolias and birds abundant. Dock was perfect, hopped in kayak and paddled several times a day. Easy! Fished and crabbed, even took Tangier Island cruise for boating bike riding and lunch. Really had everything! Hard to leave!

Lovely place and super generous hosts

My party of five went to Reedville to take the tangier Island day trip, and we LOVED this blue crab hideaway! For an older building it was superbly kept up, immaculately decorated and had EVERYTHING you could possibly want for a stay. The hosts are so generous to provide not only all kitchen/cooking essentials, but multiple kayaks/canoes and paddleboat for use, lifejackets, fishing poles, and (though we brought our own) even shower supplies and laundry soap, etc which I feel is above and beyond. I will say not a lot of restaurant and entertainment options in the area (open during the week) but a full kitchen and expansive game room sure goes a way to make up for it. 10/10 would stay there again ir recommend if going to Reedville.

Quaint, lovely town!

The home was exactly as described. Just pack a bag and everything else is there. Fully equipped property in a quiet location. The only thing I will add is the master bed was smaller than desired, otherwise everything was perfect! We would love to return at another time when the temps are warmer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. It was quiet and relaxing. The house was very clean with more than adequate amenities. You will find everything you need in the kitchen (coffeemaker with supplies, toaster oven, microwave, spices, washer and dryer). The beds were comfortable. The game room was a plus, along with the many books. E didn’t have a chance to use the fire pit, but firewood was even provided. I’m looking forward to returning with my grandchildren in warmer weather so they can enjoy the kayaks, paddleboat, crabbing and swimming. I would definitely recommend a stay at the Blue Crab Hideaway. We will be back!

Best Kept Secret of VRBO!

We stayed at this waterfront property for Thanksgiving. The house was clean, cozy, and welcoming, and we enjoyed a peaceful retreat away from the city. Karaoke was a hit with our kids ages 13-25! The owners are responsive and helpful, and we appreciated their dog friendly accommodation. Highly recommended, and we will return!

Amazing Waterfront Getaway

Our family had an amazing stay at this wonderful house right on the water! The hosts/owners were very welcoming and responsive at all times. The views were absolutely wonderful and the house had everything you need and more! There are unlimited sources of entertainment inside and out! We were able to get out on the water and enjoy the views during the day, and enjoy plenty of games at night. The firepit by the water is a great place to relax and the grill under the carport with an oversized picnic table was perfect for outdoor dining! The crab pots were a great addition to our fishing adventures as well! Excellent service, beautiful views, and fun for the whole family! Thank you again for sharing your amazing home with us!

Peaceful Retreat

This is a cute property with a lot to offer. The downstairs is loaded with things to do, like ping pong, air hockey, foosball and a game area. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need for your stay. We cooked 4 meals throughout the week and we had what we needed to do that. A nice touch is the grill and picnic table area under a car port. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboat that was there for our use. The kids worked hard to catch blue crabs. They managed to get 3 or 4, but they were small ones. But they had fun trying. The area is very quiet and peaceful. And the dock was nice to sit and read and enjoy the sunsets and relax. I recommend this property for a nice getaway with family or friends.

Why they chose this property

Come experience the Northern Neck and relax on the water in historic Reedville, VA. Only 2.5 hrs from DC and 1.5 hours from Richmond, the Blue Crab Hideaway is located on a small peninsula off Cockrell's Creek near the Chesapeake Bay in the Northern Neck. You can see water from every room of the house! Enjoy the secluded atmosphere & many amenities such as kayaking, paddle boating, fishing/crabbing for blue crabs from our private dock. Come find your inner calm & enjoy our favorite happy place!

The Blue Crab Hideaway is a bright and colorful 2000 sq ft home located on 1 acre of land. The kitchen is fully stocked and includes all of your cooking and baking needs. There are 3 bedrooms, all recently furnished with new and modern furniture. A vintage reading room with plenty of books and board games is also available for use.

The house has high-speed internet (500 Mbps download) with no data cap, so you will be able to stream video through our Roku or any of your tablets/computers. There are no issues working remotely or doing virtual school! Also, there is a desk and chair for your virtual workstation in the master bedroom.

2 well trained dogs are welcome but must be crated when you are not home.

What makes this property unique

We've been visiting the Northern Neck for years, so it's only fitting that we own a home there. There's nothing quite like getting out on a kayak, fishing, crabbing, or swimming from the private pier. If you'd like to bring your boat, we can give you directions to the closest boat ramp (which is very nice, pretty new, and close by).
