When not spending your days in the sand, the 12x24 private pool is the perfect spot to soak up the sun. Sit back and relax in the bubbling hot tub. Enjoy beautiful views of both the ocean and the sound, and take in the famous, stunning Outer Banks sunrises and sunsets from both the sun and covered decks of this well-appointed home.
Inside, the 3-level reverse floor plan at Happy Crab provides an abundance of space for you and your family to spread out. Happy Crab offers a recreation room with a pool table for family fun.
