Relaxing vacation

Great house, family of 5 very comfortable space. Lots of basics provided, we Instacarted with groceries arriving right on arrival. You really don’t have to leave the house. We loved the screened in porch overlooking the canal, the covered dock, water toys and hot tub. I learned the hard way that the boat ramp can be VERY slick depending on the tide, be careful there. We opted for the golf cart last minute which was great for getting to and from the beach or just tooling around the canal but the main road was too busy for it to feel right even though it is legal. Overall very relaxing vacation, responsive owners receptive to needs.

Great place to stay with teens and your boat!

We had a wonderful time at this updated and CLEAN property. We brought our boat, but our teens had a great time using the paddle boards, kayaks, etc. that are provided. The hosts were very communicative and this was lovely get-away.

Most thoughtful details in a vacation rental!

Our stay was absolutely amazing! There wasn't a detail left unnoticed from the host. We didn't even need to leave our rental. The kayaks were absolutely perfect to have on site and we loved the hot tub. It's one of the nicer ones we've used. The beds were very comfortable and the layout provided perfect space for everyone. There was plenty of parking, and having a few items already stocked made a big difference. We will absolutely stay here as our first choice each time we visit the island. Thank you for a much-needed vacation.

The Krusty Krab has it all!

Great location on the canal with an easy walk to the beach. (Although we did opt for the golf cart rental which made it even easier for quick jaunts back and forth.) We spent hours daily on the dock. Just relaxing, swimming, and of course all the water activities. Can't beat that the use of the kayaks, paddle boards, and the peddle boat are all included for guest use. The house was very clean and organized. The hosts are very quick to respond to messages and seem very genuine in making sure you have an enjoyable stay. We had a great time and would definitely stay at the Krusty Krab again!

Week of Bliss

We enjoyed our stay at the Krusty Krab, perfect location to ride golf cart for dinner, late night ice cream runs and close to public beach access. We also enjoyed having a private ramp/dock to unload our boat for the week! The home was beautiful, cleaned and fully stocked. My favorite was the coffee nook :-) Book this place, it was not disappoint!

Relaxing vacation stop

The property is well appointed, great location with plenty to do. Communication was excellent from booking all the way through check out. The hot tub was a great way to relax and vicinity to the beautiful beach combined with the golf cart made quick trips to the water easy. Everything you need to stay comfortably even with 7 people.

Nothing short of AMAZING

This host and property deserves all the positive reviews it could get. The home was immaculate and they have thought of everything at this property. If there was a "negative" it was that there is not a lot of water pressure for the showers, but that will not stop us from returning. The host was extremely responsive in a matter of minutes and very accommodating to our requests. if you want perfection in your next beach getaway, look no further and book this property. This home and host will not disappoint! We are already looking at our calendar so we can book this property again.....SOON ;-)

A True Gem

This is by far one of my best VRBO experiences. The house was spotless, and the cleaning lady is so very sweet. The host is TOP NOTCH and could not have asked for a better communication. I definitely recommend this house for anybody needing some R&R. And I also look forward to my next visit to topsail. I will definitely be staying here.

Beautiful home! lovely stay

This place was wonderful for our family: we loved kayaking off the back dock in the channel/back-bay, using the golf-cart to go to the beach, eating in the screened in porch, hot tubbing, going to the beach, and even playing vintage video games with the kids. The pictures don't do it justice! It is a lovely home, clean and well-maintained. And Brinnan, the host, was so gracious and helpful in answering our questions and getting us squared away. I'd definitely recommend getting the golf cart as well. A great experience for all of our family!

Check in very simple, house was very clean, little things left for us as a welcome (popcorn, chocolate bar, manicure set). House was fully equipped with everything you would need, coffee machine, a bunch of pots and pans, towels, paper towels, trash bags, dish pods and laundry pods. We enjoyed kayaking on the canal and relaxing in the hot tub. Neighbors were very kind and location in a nice quiet neighborhood. Would definelty stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Brinnan Coates

We are excited to share our home with you! We enjoy traveling, boating and live music. We are big on water sports and hoping to get our 3 year old, Cash out on a board this summer. We both grew up in North Carolina and are huge Wolfpack fans! Go Pack!

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love the water. We wanted a place we could come occasionally and be able to share our love of the water with others. We love the fact that the street is quiet with plenty of room for our kids to play. The water is deep so we can bring our boat and we still have easy access to the beach!
