We enjoyed our visit at the Cozy Crab Cottage. The decor was fun and the house is decorated very cute. It had everything we needed. Wayne was incredibly helpful and offered suggestions for charter services, hikes, dining, etc. He was very quick to respond and very attentive to our needs. The hot tub was nice and the fenced yard was great for our pets.

It was great for our family. The photos could have been a little clearer before we got there but it was clean. The check in/access was so easy. It was a great price and location. EXACTLY what we were looking for.

This place is located in a great area for lots of things to do in Winchester Bay. Super fun crab theme! It was indeed cozy! The hot tub came in handy after spending the day at the beach! My husband and I spent our five-year anniversary here and can’t wait to come back!

The crab theme is super cute! We caught a ton of crab!! (SO fun!)! We had friends over one night for a surf & turf dinner. We used the crab plates and lots of the crab themed things. Very cute & cozy. Wayne is very responsive and quick to answer if you need anything. He also suggested places to go and fun things to do which we appreciated.

Great Cozy House

A great little place to stay very conveniently located. The owners go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay. If f you’re coming to the dunes or have a boat there’s a long gated driveway for your boat or ATV. We have two small dogs the backyard was perfect to let them out. They have the best little coffee bar set up for you. You won’t be disappointed.

Night at the Crab House

We had a perfect evening stay on our roadtrip. The house perfect. The the top bunks upstairs are a bit close to the ceiling so really only suited for a small person. Our 5 year old was just fine, the nine year old had a harder time. But all in all, it was a lovely night.

Overall, the house was cute, quirky, and comfortable.The wiring seems to be a bit on the older side (which makes sense for such a house). We tripped the breakers when we used an air fryer to make crab rangoons, but figuring everything out took a while because half the breakers were installed backwards in the electrical panel. My recommendation is to be cautious and to not use too much electricity at once. After that, we moved the air fryer to a different outlet and everything was fine. Ahead of arriving, the host had warned us about a broken heater in the dining room. As a result, we did not try to use it. However, awhile after we got all of the breakers back on, there was a very loud pop and a large array of sparks shot out of a broken heater (even though it was off). It was quite scary- my mother-in-law was standing next to it and the sparks landed on her foot and burned her. I notified the host about the dangerous situation (despite not using the heater), but he was unapologetic and dismissive, telling me that he had already told us not to use it. I explained (again) that we were NOT using it, but it still malfunctioned in a pretty dangerous way. It was a disappointing reaction, to say the least. The only other feedback I have is that the upstairs bedroom floor was covered in sand, which meant that we kept getting sand in our sheets, which was a bit aggravating.

Thank you for your review. Elkhorn electric is going to check everything out. The last guest advised us the the heater shorted out at their time of leaving. The wiring is safe and so is the home. We will have any issues fixed tomorrow. We haven’t had these issues before. Please review our other reviews to verify this. We will correct any issues immediately.
