The Happy Crab is a well-maintained, semi-oceanfront home in Nags Head that will meet all of your family vacation needs and then some. A variety of amenities will keep everyone in your group entertained throughout your stay, including a private pool, hot tub and rec room. The central location can't be beat, and getting to the beach will be quick and safe using the pedestrian crosswalk and public access just a two-minute walk from the house.
With over 3,500 square feet of indoor living, this spacious retreat provides plenty of room for spreading out while still being under one roof. Four of the seven bedrooms include king beds and ensuite baths, perfect for extended families or multiple groups vacationing together. The open-concept great room can accommodate large gatherings and leads out to an east-facing covered deck for effortless indoor/outdoor flow. Back inside, additional features include vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and plenty of windows for abundant natural light. The chef in your group will appreciate the bright and airy kitchen with stainless steel appliances and an island with bar seating. The primary bedroom is located just off the living area and includes a private bath with jetted tub and separate shower. Stained glass transom windows provide additional light and whimsical charm.
On the mid-level, you'll find four more bedrooms, including the second king bedroom with private bath. The last two king ensuites are located on the ground level, along with a rec room where guests can shoot pool or host poker night. There's also a kitchenette with full-size fridge for grabbing a drink or snack without having to go upstairs. When you do need to make your way to the upper levels, skip the stairs and use the elevator - it's especially convenient for unpacking luggage and groceries. The rec room offers direct access to the backyard with sparkling private pool and bubbly hot tub.
Located at Milepost 14 in Nags Head, The Happy Crab is situated halfway between Jockey's Ridge State Park and Jennette's Pier. You'll be within walking distance to the Outer Banks Mall, where you'll find grocery stores, home decor and boutique shopping, plus a variety of dining and take-out options. Nearby restaurants are all local favorites and include Blue Moon Beach Grill, Miller's Waterfront Restaurant and Owens'.
No pets allowed - pet free. No smoking/vaping. Fireplace not available for guest use. Please refer to the Rental Agreement while reviewing Rules & Policies for pool opening/closing dates.
Located in Nags Head, this vacation home is near a water park and near the beach. Wright Brothers National Memorial is a notable landmark, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Jockey's Ridge State Park and Outer Banks Beaches. Ready for a night out? Consider Miller's Waterfront Restaurant and Tale of the Whale. Jet skiing and kayaking offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with ecotours and horse riding nearby.
