About the Crab House
The Crab House is a small-scale cottage with room to sleep 8. The upstairs features a master bedroom with a queen-sized bed and beautiful ocean views. Following the master suite, the guest bedroom features 3 twin beds, 2 of which are placed on a bunk bed. The downstairs includes a couch that can be converted into a queen bed, as well as a queen bed futon in the sunroom. The sunroom can be closed off with curtains for more privacy if needed.
The living space in the Crab House is highlighted by breathtaking ocean views from nearly every window. At first arrival, you will see the cozy sunroom where you can enjoy morning coffee while watching the sunrise. Walk into the main living area where there is a couch, a giant loveseat, and our oversized bean bags to hang out with friends. The entire space is equipped with SONOS surround sound, a smart TV, as well as multiple AC units and a gas heater for the wintertime.
The kitchen and bathroom in the Crab House are small and quaint, that of a typical cottage on the Cape. The bathroom features a stand-up stall shower, with included shampoo/conditioner, toilet paper, and beach and bath towels. In the kitchen you will find a 4-top stove, microwave, and full cookery/eatery sets. The kitchen also provides a Keurig coffee maker, coffee grinder, pressure cooker, and crock pots, which will be stored in cabinets or provided upon request. The kitchen is always fully stocked with K-cups, coffee, popcorn, a Brita water filter, and other snacks for our guests.
