My husband and I stayed here for our 2 year anniversary and brought our dog with us! The home is lovely- brightly lit and cutely decorated with the essence of the Chesapeake. Our dog loved the enclosed yard to run around. The house is such a short walk from the beach, and the passes were amazing to have for beach access. The neighborhood is safe, convenient, and fun! We loved our stay and would come again.

Our 2nd visit to North Beach for the Annapolis boat show. We love the quaint, quiet, friendly beach community, along with excellent restaurants. We love the personal comfort of Vrbo’s especially after a long day of sight seeing etc. The Blue Crab provided, exceptional cleanliness, comfort, and beautiful seaside decor. It was everything - plus as the photos. Beautiful! Our host was wonderful 🌼 The Blue Crab is a excellent place to bring your pets. Nice size fenced yard, should we decide to bring ours. The cottage does have several step downs & they are light for safety. We loved the orange lights on the porch for Halloween 🎃 our favorite holiday. Thank you for sharing The Blue Crab for others to enjoy.

North Beach is a cute little town but the beach itself was crowed. So we ventured out and spent the day at Breezy Point Beach which was wonderful. Even drove out to Dunkirk and found a great playground for the grandkids. Everything was within a 20 min drive.

We didn’t realize how many short steps there were between rooms, which was an issue for one of our guests. We suggest that you add some nightlights or mark those steps. Overall, the experience was excellent. The rooms were very clean and artfully decorated. Follow up to make certain we didn’t need anything was much appreciated.

We stayed here for a short pre honeymoon and loved it! Super easy to find and simple to get into. A short walk to the boardwalk with lots of great dining options. We loved the Hook and Vine, and the Bakist. The house is cozy and the bed was very comfy. One thing to note: the house is all one floor, but there are steps down into the bedrooms, bathroom, and the kitchen. It wasn’t an problem for us, but if you have mobility issues, this would be a drawback.

Thanks for the use of the washer/dryer (so nice to have) and for the kitchen we everything we needed. We planned a laid back visit with day trips to Solomon's Island and Annapolis. We loved reading by the bay and boardwalk.

I would highly recommend and we would stay again.one note: one of the bathrooms has a wicked downstep to get into. It is clearly marked, but unusual. Just a note if you have anyone that has bad knees(or even too many adult beverages lol). Bathroom in the master is level and easy to use. And it has a nice sized shower.

The Blue Crab is an absolutely lovely home in a great location with many walking options. Restaurants, shops, and the beach are all a short walk. It is also nice to walk around the neighborhood and chat with the friendly neighbors and visitors you pass along the way. This is a wonderful community and it doesn’t take long to recognize that during your stay. The house is full of character and is well appointed with things you would need during your stay. Danielle is very attentive, responding quickly to any questions you might have with helpful information. We love staying here and can’t wait for an opportunity for a third trip!

This is our second time staying with this host (we stayed at Lazy Crab next door last summer). Both houses are great for families with kids and dogs. Blue crab has the advantage of 2 bathrooms , which was helpful after the beach. The house has a couple stairs between living room and bedrooms and kitchen. Our toddler enjoyed the stairs but depending on the age of kids, this might be a consideration to choose Lazy Crab instead. Danielle was very quick to respond when we had questions. The Bakist cafe is only about 10 min walk and has great breakfast and lunch options, opens at 6 am. We also love the library with the best view of the bay. Would definitely come back again!

Used to live in the area and came back to town to visit friends. We've stayed at Danielle's property next door (the Lazy Crab) and loved it, and thought we'd give the Blue Crab a try. As we expected, the property was beautiful, clean, and well appointed. Easy walking distance to restaurants and the boardwalk, and having the fenced yard for the pup makes life so easy. Danielle is very responsive and easy to work with...we highly recommend both of her properties!
