Rug issues

March 2025

Our stay was pleasant but not without issues. It’s clean and the bathroom was well stocked with nice towels. The beds are comfortable. The rooms are small though and without closet space making it difficult to put things away; mostly you have to work out of the suitcase. It’s an easy walk to the water. The biggest issues we had were the rugs. The corners of the porch rugs curl up making it easy to catch your foot and fall. The house rugs need something under them to keep them from sliding to avoid the threat of falling as well especially for older people.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed to hang out at the two porches and the living room. The house was within walking distance of everything, which we really enjoyed. I would come back anytime!

Very positive people to rent from. Everything was set for us when we came in the door Thursday. House was clean and in good order. Everything worked. We would rent here again.

My very first vacation rental last year totally soured me on this type of situation. The Blue Crab Cottage has restored my faith! It was absolutely lovely. Quiet, clean, close to the beach, restaurants and grocery. I have already raved to my friends and hope to visit again. Thank you Bruce and Michelle for allowing us into your home!
