Chris and his wife Lynda were absolutely amazing. They included us in their activities and showed us around a bit. We now consider them family! Super prompt with questions, activities, and information about the surrounding area! Loved every minute of our time at the cottage.

A Hidden Treasure on the Water – Clean, Cozy, and Pet-Friendly

Our stay at Blue Crab Cottage was absolutely perfect! We were in town for a wedding in Waldorf, and this cottage was the ideal place to stay—peaceful, beautifully located, and just the right distance from everything.The home was spotless, well-kept, and had everything we needed, including on-site laundry which was a huge bonus. One of the best parts was that they allowed dogs, so our furry friends got to enjoy the trip too!The views of the Wicomico River were stunning—sunsets were truly some of the best we’ve seen. We spent mornings sipping coffee on the porch, watching herons fly by, and enjoyed peaceful access to the private waterfront piers.The owners were incredibly kind, accommodating, and easy to work with. They made everything simple and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely return if we’re ever back in the area!

A Great Experience

This was perfect! We wanted to get away from the city and unwind with our teenage son and two dogs. The two dogs had been arranged ahead of time with the owner’s permission.The cottage was clean. It was well equipped with all the kitchen items you might need. There was a K-cup machine, a regular coffee pot, a dishwasher, a full-sized fridge, a range, a microwave, and an oven. The table seats 6 and there are 2 more stools at the end of the kitchen counter.The beds were very comfortable. The sheets were soft and there were plenty of blankets. Each bedroom had its own little AC unit so it was easy to adjust sleep temperature and air movement. The street itself was very quiet. Cars drive 10 mph or less and it didn’t kick up a lot of dust.The hosts let us borrow some fishing poles to fish off the dock. They also helped us set up crab pots and even helped us cook our crab feast. We also borrowed their cornhole set and they had two disc golf baskets in the yard.There were several seats to choose from outside - on the porch, in the yard, near the top of the stairs down to the dock, and we took some folding chairs to the dock itself.We really couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our long weekend! What amazing hosts!

Very clean and well stocked with the basics. Super cute and cozy. Overall, nice little getaway spot. The owners were very responsive and helpful.
