Reviews
Our family stayed at the Blue Crab in August 2025. We had been to Cinnamon Shore several times before, but this was the first time staying at the Blue Crab. The house was excellent! It was attractive, comfortable and met our growing family's needs for 3 king-sized rooms and 2 kids' rooms. We cooked several meals and the kitchen was well-appointed. We loved the screened in side porch. The location in the community is very convenient to the beach, pool, and other common areas. We would definitely stay at the Blue Crab again!
