We absolutely loved the Blue Crab and highly recommend it for family/friend vacations!! The house was extremely clean, cozy and in a great location. The pool/patio area is perfect to spend the days swimming and relaxing. We rented a golf cart and spent our evenings tooling around and having the best dinners! We will definitely be back. Thank you Keen Family for sharing your beautiful home with us!

First time to Anna Marie Island. Great house, close to either side of island with excellent beach access.

I almost don't want to write this review because I fully intend to book the Blue Crab next year, and this may ruin my chances of availability. What a house! There's a spot for everyone in the family at any time during the day. Hanging out side by the pool watching March Madness, late day sun on the second floor, inside the wolf appointed kitchen, or nursing your muscles in the hot tub late night after too many long walks. This place is awesome. Pictures are as described, no builders grade anything in the entire house, which means the owners took great care to appoint everything. Location was great with a fifteen minute walk to Pine Street and a 5 minute walk to the beach two blocks down (dont go by my timing as we had a two year old).
The only thing I would suggest to future renters would be to make sure you rent bikes as they are not with the house, and the same goes for beach cars if you need multiple. Otherwise the house is very well appointed.

Wonderful family getaway
The house has great gathering spaces in the kitchen and poolside. The beach is an easy 5-minute walk down the street. Our fishing boat was able to pick us up at the docks right across the street. Overall, a very nice house in a great location on AMI. We loved our stay!

This place is amazing!!
This place is everything we imagined it to be for my family. My kids fell in love with this place. My wife absolutely loved it from the moment she walked into the house.
