Absolutely a fantastic home. The Blue Crab had everything. I mean everything. We stayed at MANY other rentals over the last 20 years and this one is the best. The best well stocked Kitchen by far. The location is perfect. Close beach access is literally steps away. The furniture and decor were excellent as well as the beds. Our family had many hours of fun at the pool. The pool area and furniture were an added bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed all the deck areas as well. My only suggestion would be a water dispenser on refrigerator and a garbage disposal but this definitely would not stop us from coming back.

We all enjoyed our stay last week. The property is conveniently located less than a block to the beach. The pool is good sized; so everyone split their time between the beach and the pool. When we moved in, we found the property to be very clean (inside and outside) and everything was in working order.

This was my second year renting the Blue Crab Retreat. This home is very cozy and comfortable. It's always clean and well organized. We love the back entrance for unpacking and bringing groceries into the house. The screened porch, sun deck and pool are a big plus. Close walk to the beach. Highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a rental place at Emerald Isle.
