Superb in every way! The location was excellent. We caught tons of crabs right off the dock (the old fashionedway) with hand lines. The water taxi picked us up right at the dock to take us out to another boat for sunset cruise. We had a fabulous time!!!

Beautiful respite

The house is welcoming, with several different seating areas inside and out. We particularly enjoyed the screened in porch and the chairs by the water. Kitchen is very well equipped. The property is about a mile and a half walk to St. Michael’s. The management company is quite responsive.

Beautiful Location to Visit Historic St Michaels

The location is perfect; we enjoyed evenings sitting by water and relaxing, after a quick few-minute trip to visit St Michael's. The home was perfect for two couples, and can easily support 6 folks.Two bedrooms are masters, and the remaining bedroom is across from the "guest" bathroom. We didn't use cooking utensils, so cannot comment on availability, however, all appliances were modern. We would not hesitate to rent the property again.

Nice home, well appointed

I would generally have given this home 5 stars, but for one issue. The rental company provides fairly strict, fairly detailed rules including those for check-out. However, upon our check-in we found opened food in the refrigerator and dishes in the dishwashers (could not determine if they were clean or dirty). Aside from those, I would consider this as a nice home with many perks!

Beyond Unbelievable and Disgusting

I have given Eastern Shore Vacation Rentals 10 days to make this stay right and have heard nothing from anyone above a customer service representative. June 2023 was our first visit to St. Michaels and loved the Crabby Cove. We returned June 2024. This time, we encountered a large snake alive and stuck to sticky traps that worked his way out from under the stove. Based on the number of traps noted, it’s obvious that there was a problem with this rental home. Eastern Shore Vacation Rentals, who manages this property, POORLY handled this situation. Renters Beware.

Eastern Shore Thanksgiving

This house was a very good fit for our family gathering. Well equipped kitchen helped for the T-day meal preps. Weather did not cooperate to allow much use of the wonderful yard. Very private location. Walkable to town but more than a mile each way.

Crabbers Dream

This cute cottage was a perfect fall family get away. We brought our boat and went crabbing and fishing and the kids fished off the dock. The house is fully stocked with all you need. Perfect home away from home. Minutes from town yet far away enough to enjoy the quiet cove and beautiful water views. We definitely will be back! Thanks so much for your hospitality, we love St. Michaels.

A great family escape

My family retreated to this lovely waterfront home for a long weekend away from the noise and craziness of daily life. The home is lovely with lots of space for us to spread out. The kids loved riding the bikes on the gravel road, kayaking, crab catching and fishing from the dock. (Warning, one neighbor yelled about “light pollution when my 7 & 12-year-old went fishing at 8pm with a dock light on.) We enjoyed a bonfire each night we were there that lead to more family memories. The town itself could not be any cuter! Lots of shopping and fantastic restaurants.

We enjoyed our stay for a 3 night BFF getaway for some rock painting and crafting. We used the roomy porch for this activity. The spacious cottage was more than enough for the 3 of us. We enjoyed the fire pit 2 out of 3 nights. The grill had gas and worked great. The privacy of the backyard was so nice and the waterfront views were so relaxing.

Delightful Stay in a Lovely and Charming Home and Location

We found Crabber's Cove to be an ideal and lovely place and for a small family get-together. The location just outside of town was very convenient. The home is spacious and very comfortable with plenty of inside room to spread out or gather to enjoy each others' company. It was very clean throughout, comfortably furnished, and had a well-stocked kitchen. The back porch overlooking the cove was a favorite gathering spot for all. We enjoyed the kayaks and firepit as well, and we hope to return again soon!

Wonderful

We had an amazing stay at Crabbers Cove. We love coming to St. Michaels & this is probably the 6th place we've rented. We definitely would like to come back. So many extras were provided. We have a lot of our own crabbing equipment because most places do not have anything useful. The cove provided large keeper traps, crab baskets (in great shape with lids) a crab net, additional crabbing equipment along with a crab steaming pot. We forgot our hotdog/marshmallow forks & they had a set of those. The kayaks were nice, they both had foot rests & the one kayak even had padding around the opening if you have your knees up when using foot rests. We brought our own bikes but there were bikes to use that looked in great shape, also had a tire pump available. My brother in law was able to bring his small fishing boat & he & my husband were able to go out each day. The weather was gorgeous so we spent most of our time outside. The house is nice, well kept. On Sunday we appreciated the 2 sitting rooms both with TV's since the Steelers & the Washington football team were playing at the same time. Just separated the brother in laws. Location is an easy bike ride into the town of St. Michaels. We hope to be able to this place again next year & stay longer.
