We spent a week in August at the Blue Crab House and loved our stay. The house was clean, well equipped with a spacious kitchen and living room. Ample space for our family of 4 adults and 4 teenagers. Morning coffee on the balcony was awesome! The beach is less than 5 minutes walk from the house. Everything was perfect.
4.9
We had a great time, the house was very clean and owner was very helpful, even recommending good places to eat. It was a great location, only a block away from the beach.
The house was spacious and easily fit the 10 of us, and had toys and games for the kids to use. I would recommend it 100%!

We had a wonderful stay over the July 4th week. The place was spacious and location to Buckroe Beach was so nice to be close and walking distance. The house fit our 3 generations nicely.
Staying at the Blue Crab Beach House was much better than getting separate rooms at a hotel. We could cook/eat together and relax together under one roof. Errol was an amazing communicator and was texting me BEFORE I needed anything - which was wonderful.
Thank you for welcoming us into your home. We treated it as if it were our own!

We had 7 adults and 3 children in our group for a long weekend trip. We were able to walk to the beach in the morning, come back to make lunch, then return to the beach for the afternoon every day. There was also a park across the street that had a craft fair on Saturday. Host was great and easy to communicate with. All in all it was a great getaway.

This home is exactly as was described. It was perfect for our family get together. Incredible home with the perfect amount of beds and space. Easy and close beach access. Couldn’t have asked for more!
The hosts were incredible at suggesting places to eat and stores to visit.
Highly recommend!!

It was such a great experience staying here. The hosts were great at working with us and helped us with everything during our stay and even with the app. I can't recommend the property and its hosts strongly enough!

The owner of the property was very responsive. It was a very nice stay. Location is directly on the beach.

Needed a little extra space for our family Easter with our daughter’s family that lives close by. It was well stocked, clean and had the amount of bedrooms as in the description. Easy in and out with the key pad. Worked perfectly! Short walk to the beach!

Great property and easy to follow instructions from owner. Was visiting our son in Hampton and had my parents join us from North Carolina. Perfect place to stay in Hampton with lots to do and see. The beach was just across the street and an awesome park. Will surely stay again in the future.

Property had everything you need and was in a great location. Short walk to the beach. Short drive to good local food options. The person running the place was a great communicator and super accommodating. Would definitely recommends staying at this property and I'm already considering another trip!

We had a wonderful stay. The house is decorated nicely and is very spacious. Also, we have rented many houses and this kitchen is the best equipped kitchen we have ever had. Our host was very friendly and promptly responded to any questions we had. We would definitely rent again.

All aspects of the stay was phenomenal down to the finest detail!

Very nice house and gracious host, and everything was as advertised - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We typically vacation closer to the ocean but for family reasons we stayed on the bay this year and while our beach time decreased, we took advantage of several other local sites. The area has a rich history and some great biking trails within 20 to 30 minutes: Fort Monroe is a short bike ride to the south, the Virginia Air & Space Museum is very cool, the Yorktown Battlefield provides a great leisurely bike route and the Mariners' Lake Mountain Bike Trailhead is awesome (check out the bamboo forest). The Buckroe Beach is a short walk across the park and Virginia Beach is only about 40 minutes away, if you avoid the high traffic hours.
4.9
Our family had a great experience staying at this home. We especially loved that the beach was close and not crowded. We would definitely stay again and recommend this property to others.
4.9
This was a beautiful property in a beautiful location! I loved that there were toys and games available for kids, especially since it ended up raining most of the week we were there and we didn't get to spend as much time at the beach as we had hoped. As for the nearby beach, it was really great for kids and families. We had a wonderful time and will hopefully come back again!

Everything we needed for a large group. Fully stocked kitchen. Great space for lots of people. Hope to rent again next year.

I chose this house and location for a women’s retreat on JOY and it exceeded our expectations. It is a beautiful place to stay with so many amenities and lovely rooms and porches. It is steps from the beach and beautiful boardwalk. Our host Errol was incredible. I was so grateful for his excellent communication before, during and after the stay. Such a lovely stay!

I am writing this review about my stay at the Blue Crab located in Buckroe Beach Hampton Virginia. I rented this property for the dates February 10th - February 13th , where I was having family members stay and visit. I did not expect the harassment we received from the owner!!! This made our stay horrible and we were made to feel unwelcome!!! I will be writing a full review to customer care about this property!!!

Our family was looking for a place we could be together near Buckroe Beach for a weekend while attending a church event at Buckroe
This fit everything we wanted
We had every age scale and visits from local family and friends
4.9
The property was great. Wonderful location just a couple minutes walk to the beach. I rated this a 4 instead of 5 because of a few things that were missing. No bureau or night stands in the loft bedroom and the a/c unit dripped. We had to empty water that collected in a bucket. There was no tv in the master bedroom. For those who cook meals, the kitchen could use some additional pots and pans and a Keurig coffee machine. Also the stove was finicky and sometimes the pilot clicked when the large burners were used. We communicated some of these issues to our agent who was quick to respond with suggestions. Not perfect but Overall a great rental.
4.9
The property was just as described in the listing (would add that there was a really nice supply of toys, games, puzzles, & books for young kids). The owners provided a binder with helpful information about local shopping & restaurants and were very prompt to respond to our queries.
A nice enclosed playground is one block from the house and the beach is another block beyond the playground. There was ample space to spread out on the beach and it was attended by a rotating cadre of at least four life guards.
Our only issue with the property had to do with the cleaning service. Upon arrival, some of the pans/pots & dishes were not very clean and the outdoor trash and recycle bins were left overflowing. Also, prior to departing, the requirement to strip all beds & bathrooms seemed unusual. We thought all these services would have been covered by the cleaning service & associated fee.
One last caveat: Bed mattresses are of the "memory foam" type, so if you're accustomed to a firm mattress, try the lower bunk beds.

We stayed for a weekend with family for a wedding near by. Beautiful clean home, great location, owners were very helpful. Would definitely stay again.
4.9
The house was fantastic, and communication with the owners was great. Buckroe beach was nice and not crowded during the week though we did have to worry about jellyfish and my 10 year old was stung. Being in the bay, the waves were minimal which was great for the little kids. The block the house was located on was fantastic, but the surrounding area wasn’t quite as nice. Overall it was a great stay though.
4.9
We used the house to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday and were able to fit my sisters’ families and my own. The house has everything needed for little kids and babies and the older girls liked the loft area to hang and watch tv. The host was amazing and had excellent communication! The house was very clean when we arrived and well kept. We will likely be back to stay at Blue Crab beach house again. It was the perfect location to walk to the beach and enjoy the pier and local ice shop!
4.9
A clean, bright and beautiful home, a very relaxing place to stay. Beautiful open spaces; nicely decorated and up to date; child safety features throughout the house. The house has a very well appointed kitchen; we could have prepared and served anything on the menu. A covered front porch was a lovely place to relax. The house is a short walk to the beach. Not walkable to much other than the beach, but that is what we were looking for.

Fun beach vacation for all!!
The Blue Crab Beach House is a beautiful home with plenty of space for a family/friends vacation. The house itself is nicely decorated and contains all of the amenities you could ask for (and more!). The location is a short walk to the beach, and the beach is a more secluded beach where you do not have to worry about overcrowding, etc. My family will definitely stay again!

Vacation
The house was beautiful. The owners were very helpful throughout the whole stay. The house was a short walk away from the beach which helped with the 5 children that were in attendance. For the most part, the neighborhood was very nice and well maintained. We would definitely rent this house again!

This was our family’s first trip to the Virginia seaside, and we found Buckroe Beach peaceful with warm and calm waters. The Blue Crab home and hosts were perfect for our multi-family vacation. We had all the welcome info ahead of time, so coordinating arrivals was a breeze. Errol kept in contact and had tons of fantastic suggestions to share. Plenty of parking, comfy beds, bathrooms and spaces to gather or retreat. We loved rocking on the second story balcony, congregating in the kitchen, curling up on the squishy sofa for a movie and walking to the beach. It’s such an easy stroll through the park to reach the bay and folks along the way are all friendly. Life Guards are on duty during the day, and we felt safe walking along the boardwalk and beach after dark, too.
