Great Little Cottage in a Great Little Town

This was our third stay at the Blue Crab Cottage. We love the new look. We picked Blue Crab because we can walk to so many different places. This visit we never even took the car out- just walked to restaurants, stores and the beach. We love walking to the beach for sunrise and later, walking to the bay for sunset.

Weekend Getaway

We really enjoyed the cottage! It was clean and had all that was needed for a brief weekend getaway. The only downside was the dog next door barking every night around 12-2am. This is the only reason for the 4 stars. Nothing the owner could do! Loved Colonial beach despite the rain :-)We would stay here again!

Nice holiday stay

The Blue Crab Cottage was the ideal fit for our group, not too small, not too big, nice and cozy, just right. Fenced in yard for our two dogs worked out great. We always love the holiday decorations down on the Town common area/square in front of Hunan Diner when we visit around Christmas, especially the large manger scene.
