North Beach Gem

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.

Perfect 2 bedroom with a great location

The Blue Crab Beach House was exactly what we needed for our stay in Maryland during our daughter's college graduation. We could tell that the home is well taken care of and thoughtfully maintained. It was clean, cozy, and stocked with everything we could possibly need, from kitchen essentials to laundry detergent and beach towels. The location is fantastic, close to everything yet peaceful enough to really relax and enjoy some quiet time. The beautiful backyard is spacious, private, and its pet friendly, which made us wish we could have brought our pups along to enjoy it too!

Fabulous Father's Day wknd

My husband was pleasantly surprised with the stay for Father's day. He so loves his dog and I knew if we stayed at a quaint spot that was pet friendly he would really enjoy Father's day. The back yard was Perfect!!!The house is very cute, well decorated, and just the right space for my family of 3. It was a great location for the my daughter to meet us who traveled from DC and we came up from Richmond. Since it rained the second day the place felt fun and cozy, while we enjoyed some Netflix. Thank you so much for a great time at the Blue Crab Beach House. I would love a second stay!!

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!

Wonderful Cottage

The Blue Crab was a great place for us to stay at for two weeks. Its proximity to the Chesapeake Bay, restaurants and the North Beach boardwalk was fantastic. We visited downtown Annapolis and went to a ballgame at Camden Yards. The house had everything we needed for a wonderful stay.

Great with kids and / or dogs

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!
