    The property is excellent. This is the best Host we've ever had. A couple small problems taken care of immediately. Would definitely stay again. It was a Family Vacation from 18 months to 75 years old.

    This is a fabulous home with a great layout for large groups. The host is very responsive and helpful. The home is very clean and lovely. It is a short walk across the street to the beach and comes with all the necessities for a perfect week at the beach. Everyone in our group found this to be an exceptional property. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it without any reservations.

    One of the nicest beach rentals we have ever stayed in. House decor and color palette is beautiful. Every room was perfectly clean and minimally but perfectly decorated. Kitchen is to die for - has everything. We had about 14 people over for dinner one night and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and serve food. Elevator was helpful to bring up all the drinks we bought (cases of water, etc) and they all went right into the drink fridge and area in the TV room which was awesome to have!! Beds are super comfy. Master bed and bath are incredible. the decks are HUGE and really fun to hang out on, we were ut there every night. This house is so much bigger once inside than it looks from the pictures or from the outside - very spacious. We had all adults so it was really nice to have 4 king size rooms with their own baths. Games and foosball on first floor really fun! They have everything you need for the beach - ten (more or less) new beach chairs, wagon, umbrella, we could have brought a lot less than we did bc the house had it all. We also rented the golf cart which was really fun. We took it to dinner and out shopping almost every day. Also nice to lug your stuff to the beach if you need to even tho beach is right across the street. Baby gates secured to the door frames on every floor (helped us with the dogs:). This house and trip was heaven! We were there for UNCW Graduation:) So many fun places to eat and drink as well. Angela is awesome to work with! TY!

    Very clean, spacious home, beds are very comfortable. We love the fenced in back yard and all the porches. Large families can stay together and spend as much time together as they want but the home also allows plenty of space to have private, quiet time too. Host is very prompt and proactive with communication.

    Great place. Really enjoyed the house. Great size for our family trip. Loved the yard for the dogs. Loved the baby gates on each floor to keep the dogs on the right floor. Overall 10/10.

    Our long weekend getaway to Blue Crab Bay was everything we hoped it would be! The house itself was beautifully decorated, well maintained, and well stocked. It accommodated our party of 12 comfortably. The proximity to the beach made for easy trips back and forth to the house. We had plenty of parking to accommodate our large party. Our host, Angela, was amazing to work with and quick to respond to inquiries. She was even provided us with several recommendations on locations for our son's proposal. We definitely recommend Blue Crab Bay for anyone looking for a fabulous beach getaway, and will definitely book it again!

    The house was a great space for our family - from grandkids to grandparents. Everything was clean, it was helpful having the beach gear already there, and it's just across the street from the beach!

    The listing is most accurate but wait till you arrive. The house is a standout and absolutely amazing. Fresh, clean, and very inviting and will accommodate your big family. The first floor has a game room with a sofa sleeper and bathroom. Second floor has 3 master suites and a large laundry room. The third floor has a master suite, a bedroom with bunks, a half bath, fully stocked kitchen, walk-in pantry, as well as dining room and family room. The second and third floors have large decks and the steps are protected with baby gates. The home also has an elevator. Now, the location to the beach is perfect. Only takes about a minute to reach the sand. When we return to Carolina Beach this house will be our rental. We have no complaints when it came to our stay at Blue Crab Bay

    Flawless experience beginning to end. Thank you Angela for such a great experience! Beautifully decorated home with spacious/private bedrooms throughout and decks with ocean views. Feels brand new everywhere! The primary suite is an oasis with its own outdoor space. A very short walk to the beach - convenient for quick trips back to the [wine] fridge. Quiet neighborhood vibe safe for jogging, short drive to the restaurants/shops. Everything is here for fun inside and out -- beach chairs/towels, sand toys, games, cozy deck furniture and more. Safe, well-lit gated backyard is perfect for grilling, letting the kids and dogs run. If you want to be spoiled on vacation this house is for you!

    We traveled with our 3 adult children and their partners/friends- 8 adults total. The house is beautifully designed for a large group with everyone having comfortable accommodation. The beach is just steps away! So nice! Restaurants/bars/coffee shops are a short drive (not really walkable). The house is well equipped with much of what you’ll need. I loved that they had beach towels/chairs and wagon to use- that was very helpful! Many nice touches like shampoo and soap in all of the bathrooms and a variety of snacks in the kitchen. The house was perfect and we hope to return!
