Best weekend ever!!!
Had such a wonderful time. Had everything that was needed. So close to the beach. You can’t see the ocean but can sit in the screened in front porch and listen to it at night. Would definitely go back.

Do NOT stay here…
Location was great but while I know it is a beach house- it was filthy. The house is tilted so you’re either walking sideways, up or down hill. Quite scary.

Close to public beach access..the online pictures and written descriptions were accurate..quick response from owners and Vacasa with responses to questions...the consensus in our famiky is that we would consider renting Blue Crab again.

Very close to beach access near nice outside shower
House was okay, but do not expect it to look like the pictures. Obviously things get old and worn out but the pictures need to be updated in that case. Great part was that it’s right across from the beach access and the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. Host was great at responding when you needed them.
The home was okay. The air conditioning did not work. The communication was quick on Sunday the day we checked in, but by Tuesday there was no communication. No one came to fix the air. We left days early. They had set up (before we got there) 2 mobile AC units. One was put together with a 7up box and beer case. The other had the open window blocked with pillows. So anyone could access the home. It was not secure.The bedrooms where miserable in the upper 80s.
The location and the beach were they only positive part. Good luck getting help if anything is wrong during your stay. So disappointing. The home definitely shouldn’t be advertised as having Air Conditioning.
This was the most perfect place for my new husband and myself. Spacious and right across from the beach and within minutes of the pier to fish. Definitely recommend
