It was just OK

The blue crab cottage is not a five star property. The location is fantastic and it’s very clean. It’s also nice that everything is on one floor, which makes it easy to load and unload. The downside is that the pictures of the property online are misleading. They were clearly taken many years ago and the property has deteriorated since then. It needs a lot of TLC and refreshing to bring it back to even a four star level.

Blue Crab disappointed

Much smaller than it looks in pictures. We had six and it was tight. Sprinkler system kept coming on when we were enjoying time on porch. Washer did not rinse or drain water. 2 bathroom towel racks were broken. Very chilly in winter even with heater. Pool took all day to warm up. Living room was difficult to have everyone together. Parking says it was free during holiday but attendants gave tickets anyone to out of state cars.

Cute & quaint

Cute cottage close to the main "downtown" area of Tybee Island on a quiet street. Well stocked kitchen & bath. The pool was a small 4' splash pool that (unfortunately) was under a palm tree that dropped berries & leaves into it. Property management said it was scheduled to be cleaned the following day & it was. Too bad the trees didn't cooperate. Note- 1 bedroom was main access point to backyard unless you wanted to use front door & walk around the house.

Our Family Stay at Blue Crab Cottage

Blue Crab Cottage was so adorable and perfect for 3 couples, all family, who stayed for 4 nights. Each bedroom and ensuite bath were great with comfortable beds and space to spread out. We came together in the cozy living room/dining room/kitchen areas, as well as, on the screened porch. The pool was terrific for lounging after a day at the beach! We would definitely stay here again and hope to plan another trip soon to Tybee!

Great Get-away

We brought the dogs and had a great stay. Travelled in and out of Savannah, spent time on the beach, attended an event--it was very fun! The area was wonderful for walking, lots of people around and felt safe. It was also great for walking our dogs, morning and night. Beautiful island!

This cottage was perfect for our girl's trip. It was decorated so cute and is a well maintained property. It had plenty of room for everyone, short walk to the beach, and only a short drive to Savannah. The pool was a bonus in the evenings after walking around all day in the Savannah heat.

A Cozy Home Not Too Far From The Beach

This place was amazing; plenty of space, amenities, and in a great location for getting to the beach easily. You aren't beach front but that is okay for us. We enjoyed having the pool when we were back from the beach to take a quick break before heading out to do more exploring of Tybee Island. You are also within walking distance of some delicious restaurants should you get hungry. We had a van and a truck so parking was a little challenging as the parking area is kind of small. We made it work though, and had a few days where we drove up to Savannah to do some exploring there as well (only 30 minutes drive away). Overall the experience was great and I can see myself coming back, Tybee rocks!

Great Stay at Blue Crab

We had such a great vacation at Blue Crab Cottage--our first in three years! We were close to the beach--a QUICK golf cart ride to any of a mid/south beaches on the island--and to restaurants and ice cream, and the local grocery store, but also in a more quiet neighborhood setting. The little pool is just perfect! Our girls LOVED it and hung out in there when we weren't at the beach. Rental Company was great to work with and helped out with requests--new propane tank for grill and water not going to brand new fridge--in less than an hour. Definitely recommend Blue Crab Cottage.

From age 4- 47 we all thoroughly enjoyed this house!

Prefect size and location for small group

We spent 4th of July weekend. Right near pier with shops, restaurants, bike rental and fireworks. House is small but had everything we needed- 3 bed/3bath, full kitchen and nice screened in porch with plenty of room. Pool in back yard was just the right size on a hot day instead of dealing with beach crowds.
