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
