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!

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.

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.

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.

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 all thought the property was even nicer than the pictures represented. The kitchen was well equipped so that we could cook all our food. Everything was in good working order like the kayaks, grill, and all appliances. The house is nicely spread out se we all had lots of room and the screened in porch, heaven!

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.I would love to come back with my husband and family.

Delightful Stay in a Lovely and Charming Home and Location

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

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.

Very Cute Property!

Very Cute Property!

We were in St Michael’s for a family wedding and Crabber’s Cove was a perfect home base for us. The house was very clean and well appointed and beds were comfortable. Early morning coffee on the screened in porch was so peaceful and a great way to start our days. The refrigerator appears to be on its last legs, it was making nonstop noise. But, it did keep the beer cold so not too much to complain about there :) Overall a very lovely place, we hope to return when we have more time to enjoy it!

Relaxing retreat by the water

Relaxing retreat by the water

Crabbers' Cove is a very private and relaxing spot. We thoroughly enjoyed paddling the kayaks on the creek and into the Miles River. The kitchen is very well equipped (except for the space-age, but non-functional can opener which we replaced). Beds were all comfortable. There is lots of space to hang out. Unfortunately, the unseasonably hot weather prevented us from utilizing the outdoor areas as much as we would have liked. The bikes were OK. One had a flat tire that remained unrepaired throughout our visit, despite our letting the property manage know on our first day there. I would highly recommend this property to others looking for a relaxing spot close to St. Michaels.

Our family of four and our dog had a fabulous stay at Crabbers Cove. The photos and description were spot on. We found the house both spacious and cozy at the same time. Everyone had enough space to spread out yet we loved the inviting family room and living room perfect for hanging out together to watch a movie or play a game. The house was perfectly clean and had all the supplies we needed. The location was also super, 5 minutes from town if we wanted to pick up food. We also enjoyed a few meals outside on the screened in porch. This was a perfect family getaway on a very comfortable and clean house.

Tri-Annual Annual Visit To St Michaels (Summer)

Tri-Annual Annual Visit To St Michaels (Summer)

This is our 12th rental in SM but 1st time with this house. Overall, did not disappoint as we were looking for a place on water; outside covered porch to help with social distancing; near to the town; and allowed pets. House met all of those requirements. There are a couple of things that could have maximized the experience in this house in particular: 1) there were some areas that could have been cleaner (kitchen rug; placemats; dining room table runner; master BR rug and master bath tub were filthy) where we removed the kitchen rug, and runner and washed the tub and napkins. 2) we would have felt more secure with a wi-fi access that required a security code; 3) there were tow issues with lightbulbs and outside swing set (which maintenance resolved) 4) there is no easy way to launch our kayaks from the piers unless it was high tide (we thought there was a launch ramp), 5) the eastern shore rental property people were not as responsive as other VRBO property managers - we sent several emails to them early on to find out about Covid related refunds; extra dog, and even Sat morning code which was sent late in the afternoon. Once we called them - they were fine. WE PLAN ON RENTING THE HOUSE AGAIN. STILL A GREAT HOUSE/LOCATION
