Stunning property with great amenities

My family of 10 had a wonderful trip and a big part was due to the home where we stayed. Easy walk to town and even Jetties beach. The pool was used constantly! The porch is just lovely for morning coffee or evening conversation. Sharon was easy to reach and responded immediately to my questions about the area. I highly recommend an outdoor dinner at the big table surrounded by the beautiful landscaped yard.This trip was a big hit with my family and a memorable family stay.

Misses the mark at this price point

Unfortunately, our experience at this property did not meet expectations. The listing misrepresented the number of bedrooms and bathrooms in the main house, which created immediate issues for our group given. While the owner attempted to make accommodations to help, they were far from ideal—we were given access to a “boat house” with recently varnished floors that still had a strong smell. The unit had not been cleaned, had a small bed and required us to set it up ourselves. The owner kept referring to her listing error of an additional king bed bedroom and an additional bathroom as an "honest mistake" in communications with her. She would consider a 5% refund in total reservation cost with a guarantee of a 5 star review or we would have to wait until the review window closed. We passed on this refund offer in order to share our honest experience with future renters.There was no mention in the listing that the property was shared with another guest house, which impacted our privacy and overall experience.The owner is upfront once your rent that the air conditioning couldn’t be set below 74 degrees. However, it's worth noting that a number of window screens have holes in them. You need be careful about which windows you keep open to avoid bugs. The heated pool was the highlight even though the motorized cover stopped working on day one. We’ve stayed at many rentals and value transparency and comfort—sadly, this property missed the mark on both.

Wonderful property and property owner!

Our family had an absolutely lovely stay at Blue Crab. The home was clean, warm and inviting. Correspondence with the owner was prompt and very helpful. We had an issue with cable and internet due to a recent storm, but those were resolved quickly by the owner and cable company. Home is well-appointed and well-located near town. Highly recommend!

Visiting for the wine festival

We stayed in the main house which is beautiful and very well appointed. It did not lack for anything. We walked into town every day, which took about 15-20 min and was a lovely walk. Sharon is very nice and was very accommodating and responsive throughout the entire process. Definitely recommend and would stay again!

Nantucket rental close to town

Nice home close to town (15-20 min walk). Quick drive to Cisco and Madaket. We were two families sharing the house, adequate room for all. Could use a little TLC, a bit worn, in need of new linens, and a new grill. It’s fine, but we like to cook and it wasn’t ideal. Reasonably priced. And owner was very kind. There are two other smaller homes on the property.

September wedding

I hosted family members for my son’s wedding in this delightful house. It was very private and quiet with a beautiful yard. Loved drinking our morning coffee on the back porch. The scenic walk to town was about 15 minutes. A bus shuttle at the end of the road allowed everyone to make there own plans! The kitchen is very well equipped.

Walk to town comfortable home

We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Crab. The location of the house is right off the bike path, super convenient to get around to the beach, Cisco, and other parts of Nantucket, and a mile walk or ride to town. Home is comfortable and very well stocked. Awesome back porch got lots of use all times of day!

Family gathering

We gathered our family for a magical week in Nantucket at The Blue Crab. We have rented houses in Nantucket for more than 30 summers, and the location of this house may have been the best! We walked and biked into town , biked to Cisco Brewery, Cisco, Madaket and Ladies’ beaches, and to the Downyflake for breakfast. We loved the quiet and spent hours on the back porch. The house was clean, comfortable and welcoming. We would happily return!

Wonderful home for our girls weekend getaway

Thank you Sharon for sharing your wonderful home with us for our Christmas Stroll girls getaway. It was just perfect for our group of eight. We had plenty of room, and room to spare. Your home felt so welcoming as soon as we walked in. Loved your décor and the Blue Crab touches throughout, which is the name for this home. We walked everyday to the downtown area. Evenings we spent around the warm and cozy fireplace drinking wine and playing games. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a base for their Nantucket vacation. Wish we were visiting during the warmer season to take advantage of the lovely yard and back porch with wicker furniture. Quick response to any questions we had. Only little glitch was figuring out the lock but the caretaker responded right away with directions. We really didn't cook much but the kitchen had everything we would have needed. We saw a doe one morning in the front yard. Hope we are able to return in the future.
