This place is so great for families! There are toys, kids bikes, games, a crib, a high chair, stroller, wagon, and a full play set in the backyard! My family and I enjoyed our stay so much that we already started planning another trip next year.

The house was amazing, has a lot of rooms for everyone to spread out of alone time is needed, as well as large areas to come together and have a meal. Elaine was quick to respond through text message and offered many suggestions of local restaurants and places to go. We were able to use the kayaks and paddle along the inlet which beats any rental place! We enjoyed staying here and would absolutely consider again, thank you!

We had a good time with our adult children and their families. Nice home, fully stocked, in a great location. It could use some up-dates. Unfortunately weather was cold and downstairs space was definitely cold (we were advised in advance).

HeCrabSheCrab was the perfect destination for our family of 6 adults. Despite the rain we had a wonderful time. The house fit our needs perfectly. We have never stayed anywhere with such a fully stocked kitchen!! The bikes were a huge bonus. Sadly the rain kept us from trying the kayaks. The owner was very communicative and provided great info on things to do. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!

Sandbridge is a delightful, quiet beach community. The proximity to the beach took all the stress out of mobilizing my and my brother's family out for a day in the surf.
Even better, when we returned home after a long day there was plenty of fun to be had back at the house - playing in the back yard, enjoying the canal, or taking bikes for a spin around the neighborhood.

This was our family's first time to Virginia Beach and to the East Coast for that matter and He Crab She Crab was a great place for us. Having the option to kayak on calm waters and also having quick access to a nice and clean public beach at the oceanfront exceeded our expectations! The house had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay. Would definitely rent from Mark and Elaine again. 😁

We spent the long New Year’s weekend. The house was spotless. The kitchen was the most well-equipped we have experienced and all the extra equipment for the littles was also so helpful. We had plenty of space to spread out, which we needed with three kids under 5. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again!

This was a great place to stay off the beaten path for some quiet time away from the hub bub and just a short walk or bike ride to the beach. It was definitely nice to be able to use the on site kayaks and amenities available. Everything was there as stated by the owner and the building g deck was definitely helpful is providing entertainment for our baby and pet. The communication with the owners was great and they were very helpful in addressing any questions and needs! Definitely a great quiet vacation spot for the family with great neighbors all around! Thank you for the wonderful place to stay!

We had a wonderful time at He Crab She Crab. Check in was easy. All the information shared by the owners regarding the area, places to visit, restaurants, grocery stores,etc was very helpful. We enjoyed grilling out and found the kitchen to be stocked with anything we could possibly need. We had a lot of fun with games we found in the sunroom and enjoyed the bikes immensely. The beach was easy to get to and we went down for sunrises and to see the crabs on the beach at night. It is a beautiful home and very comfortable. We had a lot of laughs and made a lot of family memories. We all agreed that we need to return to He Crab She Crab.

The home was exactly as stated! Best house we could have found to accommodate 4 children and 4 families. Beach was great! Sand was so soft. Not overcrowded and 4 rows deep of people. Weather was excellent until rain all day on our very last day. Better than all week of rain! Owners were awesome and checked with us as to anything we needed.
PERFECT!!!!

Our family had a wonderful stay. The house suited us perfectly. We used the bikes to ride to the beach along with the beach chairs and sun umbrella. We loved being right on the canal almost more than going to the beach. Fished everyday, our kids enjoyed cooling off/swimming, and my dad even took his first kayak trip. A warning however, those mosquitoes will eat you alive! Thanks Mark and Elaine for a wonderful house on our first trip to Sandbridge.

The home was spotless! Everything that we could have possibly needed was provided. The kitchen was completely stocked for those of us who enjoy cooking and eating in. It was so nice to have paper products and cleaning supplies provided as well as the bikes, kayaks, wagon, and stroller. We didn’t have to waste time on a short weekend stay going to rent those things!

The kitchen had everything available that my own kitchen has at home. The extras that were provided such as tissues, toilet paper, paper towels, hand soaps, detergents, paper products was amazing.
The hosts were so helpful with their instructions, recommendations, and guides to shopping and restaurants.

House was great. Plenty of room for the 10 of us. Owners had bikes, kayaks, baby gates/locks on site. We were on the canal so the kids could swim and fish right behind the house. The beach was a short walk away. Ice cream trucks drove by the house every day at different times. Neighborhood fireworks on both ends of the street.
Thank you for renting us your lovely home.

This was the first time that we stayed in this home. There were 5 adult women. The accommodations were very very clean. We appreciated having the bikes which made trips back and forth to the beach easier than walking.
The beach in that area does not have parking so we needed to drop off stuff with one car and the rest of us bike down.
The kitchen is very well appointed. Also the owners are very responsive to questions or problems.
