WHY GUESTS LOVE BLUE CRAB
• Flat, painless beach access just 20 steps across the street
• Ocean vistas from two cavernous decks and three bedrooms
• Private backyard pool with lounge seating
• Three king suites with premium beds
• Elevator serving every floor
• Well-equipped kitchen, wet bar, drink refrigerator, and ice maker
• Beach chairs, umbrellas, wagon, coolers, and body boards
• High-speed Wi-Fi, Intelligent TVs, books, games, and puzzles
OCEAN VIEWS & EASY BEACH DAYS
The open space across the street creates wide ocean vistas from multiple rooms and both ocean-facing decks. Three bedrooms, including two with king beds, overlook the ocean.
Load up the wagon with the beach gear included and head across the street to flat, street-level beach access. With no beach-access stairs or long walk, getting everybody and their gear to the beach is easy.
Back at the home, settle into the wraparound first-floor deck. The “5 O’Clock” Adirondack table is a favorite spot for coffee, conversation, and evening drinks. Keep an eye on the water—you may spot dolphins passing by.
SIX BEDROOMS, SPACE FOR 16
The sleeping arrangements include:
• Three bedrooms with king beds
• Two bedrooms with two double beds each
• One bedroom with a queen bed
Every bed features a premium bed so everybody can settle in for a restful nighttime’s sleep.
GATHER, COOK & RELAX
The bright, open living area gives everybody a comfortable place to reconnect after a day outside. Watch a movie on the enormous Intelligent TV, work on a puzzle, or appreciate a family game nighttime.
The kitchen features granite countertops, a huge refrigerator and freezer, and cookware, appliances, and silverware for preparing shared meals. The upsized island seats six, the dining table seats ten, and an outdoor deck table seats six more.
A separate wet bar includes a sink, drink refrigerator, and ice maker, keeping refreshments close at hand.
PRIVATE POOL & BACKYARD RETREAT
Appreciate your own 12-by-24-foot pool, up to five feet deep, with lounge chairs for relaxing between swims.
The Weber grille connects to the home’s propane line for easy outdoor cooking. A second refrigerator and freezer close by provide additional storage for drinks, groceries, and ice.
Pool heating is available upon request for $80 to $90 per day, depending on the season.
EXPLORE OCEAN ISLE BEACH
Spend your days swimming, collecting shells, riding bicycles, or simply appreciating the island’s casual pace. Explore local eateries, stores, mini golf, and fishing, or plan a round at one of the area’s golf courses.
Whether your days are filled with island adventures or spent between the beach and pool, Blue Crab is the ideal place to relax together.
