Could have been cleaner
The house was nice and big but it was not very clean. The freezer was very dirty and gross. All of the ceiling fans had mounds of dust on them. The ceilings had black dust on them. All of the shelves in the living room needed dusting. There dead bugs in some kind of wax filled glasses used for decor. The floors really needed a good mopping. There were no trash cans in the bathrooms (I searched). The deck was beautiful, the house was spacious. Beds and baths were mostly clean (1 shower had bugs and stains). I just recommend a professional clean before guests arrive.

Family vacation great for crabbing
The house is in a nice location, best dir crabbing. Bottom level is old but we don’t really care because we don’t even use it. Inside the house is spacious for our needs, just need some dusting on ceiling fans and restroom vent fans. Mattress needs to be replaced bc it stumped in the middle. Other than that, we enjoy the house. My kids enjoy the bunk beds. Master bedroom is huge. The freezer is huge, exactly what we want it. Overall, 5 star

This listing is very misleading. The dock is not private. There is another rental on the property that has full access to the dock as well. We showed up to another group having a party on what I understood we had full access to. The owner basically rents one dock to two groups at once.

Quiet getaway
The home is large and had plenty of space for our family to spread out. The home is right on the water and has lovely views early in the morning. Would be nice to have some outdoor furniture to sit out and enjoy the sunrise. The kitchen has the basics: dishes, silverware, pots and pans, dishwasher, cups, coffee maker, etc. It was missing trash bags though. Through no fault of the owner, the water coming out of the faucet is less than ideal. I recommend picking up bottled water on your way in. There were plenty of towels for both bathrooms, and the water was nice and hot for showers. The house is functional, comfortable, and roomy. A great place to gather after a busy day in NOLA.

Quiet get away
We stayed here for my son's 21st birthday. It served as a great location for peace and quiet with access to fishing but, also close enough for us to commute into New Orleans and enjoy Bourbon Street as part of the trip. The house had plenty of room and space for all of my kids to spread out and get their own space but also come together in the living and dining areas to enjoy each other's company. There are also quite a few local eats in Slidell that are excellent. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Pictures do not show the problems
ARRIVAL: When we arrived at 3:15 PM the front door was open and the house was filled with cigarette smoke. Immediately reached out to manager. MASTER: milk or food splashed across the TV screen. Blinds and window sills were filthy. We found a pink baby bottle in the bed(under blanket and sheets) which leads me to think the linens were never cleaned after last guest. Closet in master bath was open-this is the place they throw things that guest leave. Horrifying and scary. No trash cans in any bathrooms. Towels were clean but they’re were only nine. *****No extra sheets, pillow cases, towels, or blankets. No wash cloths or hand towels. ***We had to purchase wash cloths and hand towels for our traveling guests. Batteries low/dead for most light fan remotes... No lamp in bedrooms or bulbs were out. Only clock in the house is in the master bath. Minor detail. FRONT BEDROOM BY MASTER: Pests- spiders. Blinds and sills filthy. I mean really filthy. FRONT BEDROOM NEAREST BAR: Very unclean, needs dusting- sills filthy. LIVINGROOM: TV probably has blown speakers- even at a low level it’s buzzes and it’s hard to hear at times. Sticky cup rings on counters by the TV. Blinds and sill filthy. This room is comfortable- and great view- but not clean. KITCHEN: Refrigerator unclean and smelly. Counters/ sink uncleared Toaster sticky and food all over it. Blinds and sills disgusting ***Mold on dishes ***No dish drainer or towels ***Stove was unusable- bad gas smell (scared my guests and they had to air out the house) Burners worked fine, oven was the problem. ***Food Items in the pantry- not ours. LAUNDRY ROOM: best room in the house. SMALL HALLWAY BATHROOM: No trash can Smelly TWIN BUNK ROOM: Missing light bulbs Very, very dirty Sills and blinds terribly dirty Fan/light does not work ****Found left over items in drawers and window sills(fake eyelashes) Not sure what the green stuff was in the drawer- slime maybe. Drawers are soooo dirty QUEEN BEDROOM: *****The mattress was the most disgusting thing- had a very big lump in the middle of mattress. *** No mattress pads on any beds- DONT LOOK UNDER THE SHEETS! Bed was lazily made. Lamp didn’t work Sills and blinds very dirty. VENTS: Really grosThis house is unsanitary. View- fantastic! This could be a spectacular place. A professional cleaning- Some decent linens and some attention to details would be great!!!

Our stay
The pictures in the ad from vrbo are considerably better than in real life. Vrbo said it sleeps 14 but there are only 2.5 bathrooms. The half bath was completely wrecked and inoperable. It is on the dock in the deckhouse. It should not have been inlcuded. I do not think we are clean freaks but a vrbo property should be spotless. We had to clean the bathrooms and the kitchen again. The garbage from the previous guests had not been removed, the air filters were hideous and the compartment filled w dead roaches. We changed them ourselves. The filters were present just not used. There was also a roach issue in the kitchen. There were missing barstools and towels for two people. We ended up purchasing our own towels and wash cloths. The refrigerator was damaged and forced us to take pictures so we would not be blamed for the damage. For the price we paid, I was expecting much more. This was our vacation and the state of the property was embarrassing. The Blue Crab fell way short. I did speak with the property manager, CJ, 3 times. CJ was very respectful, cordial, and apologetic. In the end it was still all excuses. My wife contacted the property manager who was listed in the displayed instruction binder. The binder was not up to date and the new property manager requested that we not follow the displayed instructions and contact him instead. This is very minor but taken as a whole it is part of the problem that needs to be resolved. We do not recommend this property.

The home is in disrepair. Half the electrical outlets and fans did not work. The appliances did not work. We had to buy lightbulbs because half the lights were burned up. The docks and the garage were hazardous zooms. Sewage leaks under the house. The last day we had no water to clean up or use bathrooms or take showers.

The place was still a mess from the Hurricane. Bottom floor a complete mess, docs unsafe, fishing house no water in sinks or toilet, grills al completely rusted out. May still have come, but still expect a refund of some sort because we paid full price when it was still very much in disrepair. Poor job of customer service for a repeat customer.

Listing needs updated
Overall, my family enjoyed the stay at the Big Blue Crab, but there are several things that needed to be addressed. As mentioned in other reviews, the outside of the house is deteriorated and needs some repair. The layout of the inside is very nice, but the inside of the house was dirty when we arrived. The stove and microwave were dirty, as well as the counters, and there were plates with food under the couch, the sheets and comforters on two of the beds were stained. We also had an issue with roaches inside the house - we went and bought our own spray but the house needs to be exterminated. The gas grill was not functional - the whole bottom of the grill was rusted out and one propane tank was actually floating in the water at the dock. The kitchen is not well stocked, we should have brought our own pans and pots. The ones that are there were put away dirty and really just needed to be replaced. The fishing and crabbing from the dock was great, but the 1/2 bath located in the dock house looked as if it hadn't been cleaned in a good while so it was not functional.

I really enjoyed the stay at this property. The house was everything that was described in pictures. We only had 4 people in our group with 5 bedrooms but I noticed the property had a one bedroom house behind the property we rented that had 4 vehicles and at least 7 plus individuals we had to share the dock house area with.I don't think that was fair, but other than that it was a very pleasant experience.

Pripery is great, but managed by a booking agency
This property is spacious and in a prime area for fishing. Large downstairs garage with ping pong table and nice docks. We had a wonderful time having a crawfish boil and crabbing and fishing off the dock. Inside and bedrooms are comfortable and clean. This property uses Evolve booking agency. This means extra fees tacked on to the VRBO fees. Additionally I found them unpleasant to work with. If you message them through the app you only get a response that they don't use the VRBO messaging and will email you, which they don't with any consistency. I had to reduce my nights, and notified them of this 60+ days in advance, to which their response was that even if I did this, I would still have to pay their percentage of the nights I was cancelling. When I pressed them about this, they conceded and didn't charge me, but with no response or professionalism. It's too bad for the owners that they are being represented like this. I love the property but will be double checking any listings that use Evolve booking and avoiding. I've actually made this mistake twice with Evolve booking and both times it was an unpleasant hassle.

Weekend Fishing Trip
This property needs a little TLC. The front porch of the house is in bad shape. Bird droppings everywhere, wasp nests, paint chipping off, ect... The outside of the house needs some attention. The inside is fine. The pros are good tv, wireless is fine, gas stove, washing machine, two fridges (no ice maker), and AC works well. The cons: Only two bathrooms, very sparse on kitchen ware, no board games, the overall condition of the property is in need of repair. Overall feeling was that we spent to much for this place. If you have your own boat and want to use it as a place to go out and fish with guy friends, it's fine. If you're bringing ladies and kids with you, it might be a mixed bag.
