Donovan's Blue Crab Cove

The host (Holly) was very quick to answer any questions we had. The house was so nice!! When we first entered, we were impressed at how clean the house was. It smelled so nice even. The beach theme decorations were interesting. I really liked them.There was everything that we needed for our stay. The back deck was a nice touch. We got to look out our bedroom window and watch the ocean. W we want to stay here again!!!! Thank you Holly for such a pleasant stay. Our favorite place now!!

The house was generally as it appeared in the listing. In general it is an older beach house and as such the house shows some wear-and-tear. It does have very nice beach access and is very nicely located. The house was generally clean although I do think a deep cleaning would be nice (ceiling fans, base boards, etc). I think investing in some new bed pillows would be a great idea! Overall our experience was good and we would stay here again.

We had a frustrating experience with Holly, the host. On check-in day, we received no communication from her, so we reached out at 3 pm. By 4 pm, our check-in time, we still hadn’t heard back, so we contacted Vrbo for assistance. After some delays, Holly mentioned she had been in the hospital, but she should’ve had someone else handle the check-in details. Eventually, Vrbo told us the key was under the doormat, but when we arrived, it wasn’t there. We had to keep calling and texting Holly with no response. When we finally got in touch, we were told the keys were in the laundry room, though we had to be directed further before finding them.Upon entering the property, we were hit by a strong musty smell, and the house was in poor condition. It was nothing like the listing described. The walls were stained, the AC units were poorly maintained, and there were dangerous objects like a rusty tack on the living room chair. The house was filthy, with mold in the showers, dirty kitchenware, and sand everywhere. The TVs were outdated, and the kitchen was ill-equipped.To make matters worse, Holly threatened me with a bad review when I mentioned sharing my experience. After asking her to stop, she only did when I labeled it harassment. Despite following all house rules, the experience fell far short of expectations. We won’t rent from Holly again.

A few hiccups but the owner was very responsive and corrected any problems within a few hours. I would definitely book again.

Couldn't have a better location, view or beach privacy. What a relaxing time on a beautiful beach with plenty of space fot dogs to play.

Location was perfect. Area non crowded with houses /people. Close to anything needed.

Loved the location. Private section of beach that wouldn’t be crowed even in the summer. House was just as pictured. Comfortable beds and pretty well stocked kitchen. Only complaint was there were no true beach chairs. Just rusty folding patio chairs. We would have brought our own, but were told there were many. Also, didn’t know there were biting flys. Had to buy spray with deet and apply liberally to sit on the patio or beach. Found out this was a yearly occurrence for September and October. Overall, it was a great stay.

It was quiet fun and relaxing. Just what we needed.

If I had a beach house this is what I would want it to look like and the location I would want it to be in. It felt like home to me. I have no complaints. Loved everything about it. Perfect for me and my family.

Everything was just as listed. The location was great! Will definitely stay again!
