My mother’s 90th birthday was her “Best Birthday Ever” - a family reunion at Blue Crab. We were 13 in number, 2 mos. – 90 yrs. The house was gorgeous, well appointed and equipped, clean and welcoming. Some of us had done numerous beach rentals at OBX and had brought a variety of household supplies and beach gear but were nicely surprised that the house already had those. We loved having an elevator to move luggage, lots of groceries and at least a couple aging family members. Bedrooms on the main floor were perfect for the newborn’s parents and the great grandmother who has very low vision. We enjoyed the perfect location, immediate beach access and panoramic ocean views. The great grandmother appreciated that southern beach exposure for more sun exposure but less morning glare. Our group had a gourmet chef who spoiled us at every meal. He was able to do so because the kitchen was so well equipped. He and his helpers were in the conversation because of the open floor plan. The location is easily served by Myrtle Beach and Wilmington airports. Our host, Tom, was exceptional before, during and after our adventure. He was humorous, flexible, kind, responsive, and attentive to every detail to ensure we had an awesome trip. There was a whale sighting during our stay and he texted us to inform us. During our stay, we opted to heat the pool for 2 days. Tom took care of this last-minute request to the delight of the toddler who discovered underwater swimming “again…again…again….again!” We enjoyed the well-equipped, comfortable, private and safe pool area, heated outdoor shower and that huge Weber Grill used during our final feast preparation. We could not have asked for a better host or property. The pics online give a hint of how wonderful it is. We are talking about how to make it an annual event. We would choose this house and owner again.
