Property Reviews
Lovely house on the water with everything you need Mark W. from Washington, DC recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in April, 2013 The house is wonderful - very comfortable and nice open layout with terrific outdoor space. The owners have thoughtfully provided kayaks, a canoe, and bikes so you can just show up and start having fun. Very close to St. Michaels town. We would definitely stay in Crabbers Cove again, and highly recommend it to others.		Overall Satisfacation show detailed scores Services from rental manager Cleanliness Location Property Condition

Cozy but with Cob Webs and Ants A guest from Hampstead, MD recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in October, 2012 Crabby Cove is a very comfortable spacious house with a great view. It was a little hard to find since the road is not marked well. The place need to be deep cleaned. There were cob webs and dead bugs in the corners and along the ceiling in every room and the screened in porch. The most annoying thing was the ants. In the kitchen they came in under the counter's back splash. They never stopped. Someone had put out traps but they were not doing anything. We never used the whole counter for fear of them being in our food. Also the owners have all the kitchen drawers full of their items. There isn't anywhere to put anything. The porch need to have a screen fixed and the door was rotting at the bottom. But as I said very cozy and spacious.

Sept. 2012 A guest from Woodbine, MD recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in September, 2012 Great toys (kayaks, bikes, crabbing gear, etc.) Good crabbing. Location great for boating--sheltered with quick access to Miles and Easter Bay. Not a great view--in a cove. Bedroom next to porch not good for couples--no privacy. Probably fine for family with children. Good screened porch. Could smell that it was a dog friendly house--could use deodorizing. Some maintenance issues with back porch doors and sliding screen in kitchen and stove. Very convenient access to St. Michaels, but still a country atmosphere. Property Manager Response: Response from Eastern Shore Vacation Rentals LLC Thank you for the feedback. We will pass along your maintence comments to the owners who are very attentive to property maintenance issues. I am glad you had a nice stay overall!As of April 1, 2013 "Owners have added new doors to the screened porch and a new burner for the stove. There are privacy screens in the Queen bed/bath rooms, and instructions for operation have now been put in place."

Great Place, Nosy neighbor A guest from Philadelphia, PA does not recommend this property. Stayed for 3 days in August, 2012 The house was beautiful, but for a group of 3 30-year-old couples it wasn't the best spot. The elderly neighbor was very rude when we tried to make conversation by the water and came into the yard uninvited on two occasions. To be honest we did have music on the porch, but it wasn't very late and it was on the weekend so I don't think it was unreasonable. However, the house was otherwise great and came with bikes, a canoe and kayaks and was in a perfect location for afternoon outdoor activities like running. Not much in the way of kitchen supplies (oil, spices) so bring your own. Property Manager Response: Response from Eastern Shore Vacation Rentals LLC Thanks for the feedback. We are sorry you had this encounter with the neighbor and will bring this to the attention of the owner. We do not supply spices and kitchen supplies so that guests have room to bring their own and also because it can attract pests. I am glad you otherwise enjoyed your stay.

Just right A guest from Arlington, VA recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in August, 2012 Crabber's Cove was the perfect retreat away for our family of four. The house was in good shape and the dock was perfect for fishing, crabbing and swimming. The dining area and family room are nice and open and you can see into the kitchen. A very nice house that our family of four enjoyed. And close to St. Michaels...		Overall Satisfacation show detailed scores Services from rental manager Cleanliness Location Property Condition

Relaxing Week In St. Michael's Nancy S. from Oak Ridge, NJ recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in July, 2012 From the time we drove down the beautiful driveway and unpacked our luggage, we couldn't have asked for a more relaxing vacation than what we had at Crabber's Cove. The tranquil backyard was a pleasure to wake up to every morning. We enjoyed kayaking, biking and rented a boat from Dockside Rentals. I truly feel that we HAD a vacation in every sense of the word (oh, and the massage at Perry Cabin was excellent as well!)

Enjoyed Our Stay Alwyn C. from Beachwood, OH recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in June, 2012 We had a family reunion with 91 year old great grandma, grandma, and my family including 20 month and almost 4 year old sons). We rented a power boat from local company. The house was great for our needs. We caught crab (and jelly fish) in the provided crab pots. We went out on the canoe also. We used the fire pit to make samores, even though it was hot outside (record heat)! We hope to stay at this house again for a family reunion.

Crabber's Cove David W. from Nashville, TN recommends this property.

Great family getaway Sheldon J. from West Chester, PA recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in June, 2012 Peaceful property on a tranquil cove. Had a lovely time on the hammock, kayaks, canoe, and bikes, and got to see a bald eagle fly by. Had one rainy day but felt quite cozy inside the very comfortable and nicely furnished house.

Relaxing Getaway Karen S. from Camp Hill, PA recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in April, 2012 A comfortable house in a quiet location. Just what we were hoping for.

Everything was perfect Chris C. from Falls Church, VA recommends this property.

Three Dats @ St. Michaels A guest from Oradell, NJ recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in April, 2012 My wife and I along with our dog had a great albeit brief stay at Crabber's Cove. Being Jersey Shore people we decided to try out the Maryland Eastern Shore and the only downside was the cool weather. We loved our house-our dog was right at home-plenty of space for her in and out. Took a great walk on the Trains to Trails path in Easton when we 1st arrived as we waited for our check in and ate at the BBQ Joint on Dover St. in Easton at an outside table with Zoey in tow. We enjoyed lovely meals @ Chesapeake Landing & The Big Pickle as well as lunch at Ava's in St. Michaels. Not all the stores were open since we were there mid-week in April but we loved the Talbot Street atmosphere and will definitely come back again-perhaps later in the spring to try to catch a break with the weather. Overall-a very nice get away that I would readily recommend-especially if you are looking for a place to take your dog(s) along - when I saw someone walk in to the Post Office in St. Michaels with their dog I knew this was the place for us!!

Easter Getaway Dayna M. from Downingtown, PA recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in April, 2012 Tranquil property, lovely home. Really enjoyed wood burning fireplace and outdoor fire pit. The weather was warm so we were able to take advantage of the beautiful yard/dock and enjoy picking crabs on the spacious screened in porch. Only negative-there was supposed to be a kayak on property but it was not there.		Overall Satisfacation show detailed scores Services from rental manager Cleanliness Location Property Condition
Spacious and Cozy! A guest from Ellicott City, MD recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in March, 2012 The house and property are lovely. The layout was great for a large family of 6.

A wonderful fall get away A guest from Montgomery Village, MD recommends this property. Stayed for 8 days in September, 2011 We had a great time here during a week in the fall. Weather was great, location is excellent, and the house meet all our needs. The layout of the house works very well for small children and all the outdoor space meant both the kids and the dog could run free. Highly recommend this home and we hope to be back again next year.		Overall Satisfacation show detailed scores Services from rental manager Cleanliness Location Property Condition
Good location, great view, happy to be able to have dogs there. A guest from Greenwich, CT recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in August, 2011 Dishwasher was not working. Neighbor to the left (when facing the water) seemed to have some kind of recycling operation going on. Very loud Sun. night & Mon. morning. Property Manager Response: Response from Eastern Shore Vacation Rentals LLC Thanks for the feedback. The home recently had the dishwasher replaced with a new unit.

Terrific Rental Eric E. from Westchester, PA recommends this property. Stayed for 9 days in August, 2011 We had a wonderful time at The Crabbiest Cottage. The location is super for boathing & exploring many new places of the Eastern Shore. The kids had a great time boating,crabbing,kayaking,fishing & swimming. We will defintely will be back. However, they have a very crabby & not friendly neighbor. I'm guessing, they don't like the new owners renting! Wishing the new owners many happy memories!

This was an older cottage with some updates Ann J. from Friday Harbor, WA recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in September, 2010 The cottage was located on a secluded site that was very pleasant. It was an older cottage with beautiful wooden flooring in the main room. The home has had some updating. However, the odor of LNG and mildew greeted us upon unlocking the door. The kickplate of the gas stove had been removed. Had there been operational problems? The party included two young children and we had concerns about the open panel on the stove and the odor. We kept the windows open. Having the screened porch was a great idea but the screen needed repairs in places. In general an adequate cottage for our needs but not an upscale experience.

Crabbiest Cottage Needs Work A guest from Blacksburg, VA does not recommend this property. Stayed for 5 days in May, 2010 We already discussed our concerns about this property with the rental firm. The grounds were in very poor condition, gutters had not been cleaned, had seedlings growing out of them, and leaked during heavy rain, and inside the refrigerator ice maker was rusty and leaking. In addition, in the master bath, the door sticks closed and the toilet is loose, wobbles on the floor. The property is on the market and this should be noted in the listing. The location is fine and the neighborhood quiet (early June). We would have preferred closer access to walking and bike trails, but the walk through the nearby golf course is nice. Property Manager Response: Response from Eastern Shore Vacation Rentals LLC We thanked the guest for bringing these issues to our attention and property management is addressing them so that the home is ready for the next guest. Properties on the market for sale are both noted on our website and as a result of this review also now noted at check in. ESVR tries in all instances to not disturb guests with real estate showings by arranging them on check in day, however, our lease agreement does allow for showings and sometimes it is unavoidable In this case every effort will be made to do so at the convenience of the guest.
