The reviews made it seem much better than what it is. It was disappointing. For the price, including the extra charges, I expected more. Windows leak when it rained, kitchen has no extras. Whole place needs some TLC.

Loved the location, loved the property, had a few minor issues but hopefully that is all resolved. Property had an extremely nice layout for 10 people.

Easy check-in, managers easy to reach.
House sits on a road but not a problem at all. We watched the July 4th parade from the porch and road side.
The pier has great ice cream, several restaurants within walking distance. Benjamin’s bagels was amazing!
Shared pool was no problem at all, would be worse at a Resort.
The 1 queen room very comfortable, 2 queen room had to much lighting from the pool lights if you like a dark room but beds comfortable. King room was very warm even with door open. 2 twin bedroom nice and comfortable for kids , lighting didn’t bother them.
Could use a deep cleaning but sure it’s hard this time of year. Overall clean!
Would rent again!
Thank you from our family Blue Crab!

We loved our stay at the Blue Crab! It was clean and had a great layout for our three-generation family group. There was enough space for everyone, and the beach was so close. We could walk to restaurants, the pier, and ice cream shops. The pool was clean and was never crowded. There was plenty of parking. The hosts responded quickly when we had questions. The beach amenities (chairs, toys) were helpful as well. We will definitely keep this house on our list for future stays!

Great property, stayed with 6 adults and 1 infant more than enough space community pool was right out our door and most times we were only ones in it. Steps from beach and short walk to dining spots. Could walk down to hear the live music and the local restaurants were excellent. Short ride to yoga on the beach in Garden City. They also have surf lessons but not my thing. Host was very responsive but we had no issues really. I left my phone and house cleaning returned to me by UPS asap. Would definitely stay in Surfside next time clean community not too busy but close enough to action if you want a short ride.

The location of the house was good for not being right on the beach. Easy walk to the beach and some restaurants. We didn't have to get in the car very often other than going to the grocery store. We went out to dinner several nights and other than one time we walked to get dinner. Now, the house. We really enjoyed the fact that each bedroom has its own bathroom, that makes it really convenient. The kitchen had just about everything you need except we would have loved to have a toaster oven. Loved the two front balconies and the one overlooking the pool which is right behind the house. There were several things that need to be looked into, first some of the lights on the ceiling didn't work, I don't know if just needs bulbs replaced or what. In the master bedroom both of outlets next to the nightstands didn't work right. In fact I thought my smartwatch had quit working because only one of the two plugs next to my side worked and then it must have quit working too because it wouldn't charge my watch which made me think the watch was broken. My husband said his side was the same way. Also in the bedrooms when the air conditioner was on it was really loud!!! Also since I reserved the house back in October 2022 a big house was built where you were suppose to be able to see the beach from the decks. All in all if someone asked me to rate the house from 1-10 I'd give it a 7. If some of the issues inside the house were to be fixed I'd raise it to a 9. All in all we enjoyed it.

My family enjoyed our stay at The Blue Crab beach house! It is in a cute little beach town with colorful beach homes and walking distance to many restaurants. The beach was a short walk that we didn’t mind at all! Their storage “shack” had lots of useful beach items like toys, chairs, etc which was so convenient. Unfortunately, due to a new build, the view of the ocean is very minimal when sitting out on the deck but enjoyable and peaceful nonetheless. I really loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom, however the plumbing of the house doesn’t allow for multiple people to shower at the same time-which was a bummer. We were able to work around this issue and overall had a lovely stay.

There was 6 adults and we all had a great time !! 1st part of the week was cooler so we were close enough to walk to restaurants and bars and then when the weather warmed up we had the beach and the pool.. The house was beautiful and well taken care of.. definitely will stay again!

The property was spacious, clean, and nice. The pool was a great feature. The beach was just a walk across the street. The area around the house was quiet. We also were able to walk down to the pier and get a bite to eat. Overall, my family and I had a great stay.

This is in very good shape. There is a full bath for every bedroom. It was an excellent venue for our family vacation. It was within walking distance of the beach and close to many different restaurants a short drive away.

We enjoyed this beach house. It's a very short walk away from the beach. You'll need a car to move around for things like groceries, and the restaurants you can walk up to are only a few. That said, it's a very quiet area and family friendly, which we appreciated very much. As for the property itself, we enjoyed using the pool and we had plenty of space for our group of 7, everybody had their own space.
