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.

We came into for a family funeral but we decided to try to make fun for the kids. We are a fishing and crabing family. This location was great for those things.

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!!!

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.

Property was great. Cooking hardware (pots and pans) could be updated. We enjoyed the fishing dock in the evenings. Some of the steps going to the front door need to be replaced. We enjoyed the open living area because it gave us plenty of space to relax.

Im so happy we decided to stay here. Even though it rained one day, I’ve never enjoyed seeing rain until I experienced it here. I enjoyed my coffee every morning while viewing the lake. The house is very spacious and gave all my teens their privacy, they also played football in the afternoons..so glad I didn’t stay in a hotel. Will defined be coming back to enjoy this peace i found here.

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.

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.

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.

Not for New Orleans Trip
Booked this house for a group of 11 girls bachelorette party. While owner was kind enough to let us check in early. He was difficult to contact throughout our stay. The wifi wasn’t updated and there didnt seem to be enough toilet paper/paper towels so we had to restock. The lisitng was very misleading as it said 35 minutes to New Orleans, which depending on where you’re going and when you’re driving can be more like 45-60 minutes. At the end of our stay our house seemed to be intruded and not only did it take cops too long to arrive but owner was unreachable. The house was lovely and large enough for us, but not enough bathrooms and too far from everything. Would only recommend if you wanna get away from it all and stay only in the house.

Beautiful property in a beautiful area!
We had 11 ppl stay at this property for 3 days. It fit everyone comfortably and even had room to spare! We took an Uber to New Orleans when we wanted to go out. But the cost split between everyone for the uber was minimal. I wish the house was stocked with more toilet paper, paper towels, and garbage bags. We had to run our and get more, but other than that everything was absolutely perfect! We will recommend this house to other large groups!
