Perfectly perfect!

House was as described and even better in person. The common living area was fantastic for my family and was perfect space to play games while we waited out the rain! Owner was quick to reply any time I needed . Will definitely stay here again.

Great Visit!

Could not ask for a better location...close to the action but still private and quiet. Very clean, very comfortable. Advice is to bring tp, trash bags, paper towels, laundry materials (detergent, fabric softener). House had hand soap, dishwasher cubes, nice patio/beach toys situation, kitchen had all the materials we needed. Loved the big kitchen table. Would love some more towel hooks in bathrooms. Thanks for a great time!

The perfect house

This house was perfect for us. You are close to the grocery stores and restaurants of Kitty Hawk, but you'd never know it once you get to the house. The layout of the house is great and it is right on a private section of beach. The back porch has unobstructed views of the beach over the sand dunes. The color of the house was helpful when we took long beach walks - we knew exactly which house was ours! We hated to leave and hope to go back soon.

The perfect spot!

We had such a great time at Terry’s house, this location was perfect for our group! Everything is close by, but when we were at the house, we felt as though we had our own private beach! I took my parents on this trip with us, they are both in their 60s with mild mobility issues, and they were easily able to get up the stairs and around the house. That was important for us. The house was spacious, much more than can be seen in the pictures. We had everything we needed to prepare meals, and the AC kept us plenty cool when sun was blazing just a little too hot for us. I highly recommend the Crab House if you are looking for the perfect stay in Kitty Hawk :)

Great location

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect--right on the beach so only a few steps to the beach. It worked perfectly for our family as we wanted to explore many locations from the south to the north of OBX. Restaurants, activities and grocery store all nearby as well. Super clean and a well-appointed kitchen.

Absolutely stunning property. Everything you need for a beach vacation

Our stay at this beach house was absolutely incredible. We felt right at home as soon as we opened up the front door. Plenty of space in the kitchen, washer and dryer, plenty of beds, 2 bathrooms, Great space on the deck and just a couple steps to the beach. I would highly recommend this property to anybody looking in the area.

Ideal family vacation spot

This was our first trip to the OBX and it did not disappoint! The house provided easy access to the beach to come and go as we pleased and the beach was not crowded at this location. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises from the deck every morning. The house offered all amenities needed for two families with young children and is centrally located for easy access to other parts of OBX. Terry, the host, was most accommodating and very responsive, ensuring a smooth stay. We would definitely come back for another stay!

Short but nice stay

Unfortunately, Hurricane Dorian cut our time short but the couple days we spent there were great. House renovations were very nice. The kitchen is a great cooking kitchen with tons of space. The highlight was spending time on the deck for sunrise. Hopefully, we can return when the weather cooperates.

Sound of the waves

We had a very nice stay here at The Crabs house. It was very comfortably and clean. The location was perfect as the ocean is literally your backyard. There’s a lot to do in the area with families. Super convenient to all the stores you would need along with your choice of many ice cream places. We ate at the Bad Bean Baja grille which was amazing food (recommended by the host). We had a great time at the Waterpark and rented a boat to fish the sound. Lots of great memories. Thank you
