The Brass Crab - Check in/out any day!

This charming rancher is ready to welcome you and your family. Come make memories in the cozy and relaxing space. Enjoy this redone home on large lot perfect for family games of kickball and tag after a fun day at the beach. This home sleeps 8-9 folks comfortably. It has a stocked kitchen, a dining area and living room with 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. There is an outdoor shower and foot rinse (April-November). Just added for Fall 2024: Disc Golf unit for the backyard and 8 new outdoor chairs.
The driveway can hold roughly 8 vehicles, please do not park (or drive) on the grass. This home is walking distance to the Veterans Park (.8 mile) and is away from the town's bustle. We are a 7 minute drive to the beach and roughly a 20 minute bike to the beach. The Brass Crab is set up with families in mind with child friendly spaces, bunk beds and open places to play, but can easily work for 3 couples as well.
Queen rooms are on the East side of the house, the other two bedrooms are on the west. The main living space is in the middle of the 4 bedrooms. All rooms have white noise makers and blackout curtains.
All rooms have space for a pack-n-play. A pack-n-play, portable highchair, and a diaper changing pad are available in the bunk closet. This closet also contains outdoor games and the rainy day box. We will leave these in place but recommend you clean them prior to your use.
There is 1 TV in the living room and wireless internet. We provide Prime video and Netflix.
This is a 3/4 acre lot with a large front yard and a fenced backyard. A walkway, patio, and fire pit area have been added to the outdoor space for additional fun and relaxation! You'll need to bring your own wood, and you'll want bug spray.
Please send a message with additional questions and we would be happy to help.
Our customers tell us they enjoy the helpful staff at this vacation home. During your stay, you'll be within walking distance of Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. Laundry facilities are available. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the vacation home.

We had a great weekend stay! The house was great for our 2 families with a well stocked kitchen to cook, games and toys for kids, and a big yard. It was centrally located with a quick drive to the beach, restaurants, and stores. We were all comfortable and would definitely return!
