dog-friendly luxury

My husband, our dog, and I spent an amazing weekend at the Sand Crab Cottage in April. We usually only stay in luxury resorts which means that our dog (who is our baby) can never come with us, but the Sand Crab Cottage was perfect! Jody had dog bowls and toys, and everything was dog-proofed (even the front porch has a gate so he couldn't get out).

The cottage is beautifully decorated, and everything little thing you could want has been anticipated and provided. We have stayed in some nice places, and this cottage was one of our favorites. We are looking forward to a return trip soon!

Every detail thought of - perfect for families!!

We rented this house for a short "staycation", as we live only 15 minutes away, in Wilmington. Despite the rave reviews, I was curious to see how I liked it, as I have high standards and have had several mediocre house rental experiences before. Well, now that we've gone...I don't have one bad thing to say about it! Every detail has been thought of, and the house is GORGEOUS. It truly is a 5-star experience. The house is fresh, clean, beautiful, and yet comfortable. It is perfect for just couples, or a family. I have 2.5 year old and 2.5 month old daughters, and both of them loved it. The portacrib made for one less thing to pack, and my toddler LOVED the "pirate room", which was outfitted with toys for kids without seeming like a second-class kid's room. There is nothing I would change about this house, or our weekend, which felt like a rejuvenating weekend worlds away from our home, despite the proximity. We will definitely be coming back!

Owner's Response: Thanks for the lovely review Louisa! I really appreciate your comment about having high standards. We have them as well and it's always nice to have like minded renters. Come back again soon!

Cozy, Convenient Cottage

5 of 5

We have been vacationing at Wrightsville beach since I was a little girl and we all agree that our stay at The Sand Crab Cottage was our most relaxing time. The Sand Crab was so organized and full of everything we needed. The beds were extremely comfortable with soft, crisp, clean linens. The house is on a fun corner with a deck for watching and waving. When we were ready to go to the beach there was a beach caddy to load with all of the beach chairs, umbrella, everything we needed. I literally could go on and on. Highly recommended.

Owner's Response: Thanks for the review Heather! I am so glad your family enjoyed the cottage. I especially love that you enjoyed the porch and "waved" at those passing by. It's always a favorite spot with renters. Hope you can come back to the cottage again soon.

Everything you would ever think of is provided with the Sand Crab Cottage. it's like borrowing the owners home, not renting it from them. Really just one word to describe the whole experience, from dealing with the owner, to the house , to the location, to the gear provided..... AWESOME... Thanks again...
