Simply Perfect
Simply perfect! The Blue Crab has all you need for the perfect family vacation! This year was our first trip visiting Dauphin Island and we fell in love.
The Blue Crab was the perfect location for us! The walk across the street to the beach is easy — even with a few kids in tow. The view of the bay from the house is phenomenal. We loved having access to both the beach and the bay.
The Blue Crab is professionally decorated and makes for a pleasant getaway. It’s like Pottery Barn meets the ocean. The furniture is great too! Some beach houses just throw a hodge podge of furniture and decor together, but you won’t find that at The Blue Crab!
The layout of the house was great. The bedrooms were spacious and there was plenty of room for our family to move about. The beds were comfy and the linens were nice. The bathrooms were well stocked with TP and travel-sized toiletries. There were plenty of nice, plush towels in each bathroom too — which is a necessity with a large family!
This home is also kid friendly! If you’re traveling with little ones, you’ll appreciate the safety plugs in the outlets, the high chair in the kitchen, a drawer full of plastic-ware for the kiddos & a game shelf in the living area! The room with the triple bunk beds was a huge hit with our crew!
If you plan to dine in most days, the kitchen is well stocked with all the essentials and there is a large propane grill downstairs.
The Blue Crab also offers some beach essentials! They have 2 large baskets full of beach towels. In the storage room downstairs there are puddle jumpers, life jackets, beach chairs and sand toys! Although we were prepared, the extra supplies came in handy!
We’d definitely recommend staying in the Blue Crab. We are already planning a return trip to Dauphin Island next year!

Excellent house
First i would like to thank Adam Johnson for taking care of us and switching us to this house.
We make a trip to Dauphin island every year and love it.
As soon as you walk inside The Blue Crab you say wow.
Spacious ,clean and a wonderful view of the bay.
Furniture was comfortable and i took ownership of the lazyboy chair,kitchen had everything we needed.
And don’t bother bringing pillows,this is the first time everyone in my family said they loved the pillows.
When we got home i actually ordered the same pillows from amazon.
When we first started coming to Dauphin island i always wanted beach side,but the last 2 times we have stayed bayside and loved it just as much.
It is a short walk to both .
Once again a great little vacation for our family.
Also,the sunset and sunrise are amazing.My daughter took some great pics

Perfect Getaway!
We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home. Our family of 8 had so much space to relax! The bay side was the perfect choice for our little ones. they were able to play daily in the water without the waves being too strong. We visited the ocean side which was just a quick walk away.
This elegant 4 bedroom home is the perfect getaway for your family. Every bedroom includes a bathroom and the space is astounding. Beautifully decorated but not to the point of being concerned about your children ruining anything! Kid friendly, with table space for everyone to join together to eat. Kitchen had everything that we needed.
The beach towels provided are a game changer! Located right by the sliding doors on the way out to the beach, quick and easy! No need to bring your own. Separate laundry room with an amazing washer and dryer. Beach towels washed and dried so quickly!
Amazing towels for the bathrooms as well as perfect bedding and pillows.
We will definitely be staying here again!

Holli Litteral says
Where is the pool located?
Alison says
Is there a gate to close off the pool from the rest of the deck? We are coming in August and will have 3 toddlers that we would like to be sure cannot easily access the pool.
Adam says
There is.
