Peaceful Retreat

If you’re looking to get away from people this is the perfect spot. Great indoor and outdoor space. We used the Lenark boat ramp and got our limit of scallops nearby. Dock accommodates small boats no problem.

Well I have to say we stay in this area often. I mean how could you not. This house was perfect for what we needed. My best friend lost her son ar age 18 to a horrible accident a year ago. This brought the peace and relaxation she and her husband needed. The smile and peace on their face said so much. Your house and location brought that. Not Fancy but a home feeling. Clean and just perfect. You would not regret booking this "home sweet home" right on the water.

Travel back in time and stay on the water with breezes.

My husband and I stayed at The Blue Crab Shack. The home was fully stocked with things you need for food prep and presentation. Beautiful unique decorations. I loved the paintings. The screened in deck is amazing. The dock is the place to be especially when it's cooler. Beautiful breezes, a green for walking ones pooch.. Family visited us for a couple of hours the day before we left. Time alone at dusk feeling the breezes and seeing the dock lights come on was surreal, quiet and filled with The Lord's Peace. A special experience.

We really enjoyed our stay here. This is such a lovely spot with the large porch, beautiful canopy of trees and awesome views. We caught/released many fish off the dock, watched the sunrise from the porch and cooked some good food. The bed was comfy, shower hot. We lucked out and had the house open almost the entire 13 days with a wonderful breeze, with only one day of rain! It’s nice that the lot next to it is vacant. It felt private and quiet. We looked up the other vrbo’s we had picked out and we are sooo happy we picked The Blue Crap Shack. Shaded lot, plenty of room to walk the dog. Just bring groceries, fishing gear and just veg-out.
