    We had a wonderful stay at this home. There were three different living areas for everyone to spread out. We traveled with our 3 adult children and their friends, so the huge rec room with a pool table was a big hit in the evenings. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and easy walk to the beach access. The house was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. The surrounding pine trees made it very private and we never heard or saw our neighbors when we were at the pool or on the decks.

    We really enjoyed our stay. We had 6 adults and 2 toddlers and there was plenty of room. The pool was refreshing and the beach was superb. The house was well-appointed. There are a fair amount of stairs to navigate but this is probably typical for beach houses in this area. Restaurants in the area are very good, especially in Duck.

    We vacationed for my daughter’s wedding in Corolla, NC. so we wanted something very close to the Currituck Club. I started my search for beach house back in August 2025. This house offered Sunday -Sunday and had what we needed along with plenty of parking. Everything was exactly as described in the pics posted plus some extra’s! They had beach chairs, wagon, umbrella, cooler and bogg bag to use at the beach. Walked outside and found horseshoe pit. We were able to cut through the woods in our backyard to get to the pickleball courts too! We brought our dog and she loved it. Outside had nice size yard and shade tree’s. She hung out while we played basketball and enjoyed the top deck with us. We used the pool and hot tub everyday! Getting to beach was 10-15 min walk or you could drive 3 min to public parking and 5 min walk to beach. We especially enjoyed the neighborhood, not a busy street, no construction close by, was pretty peaceful and quiet. I almost forgot, an ice cream truck came down our street a few evenings so we loved this!! Overall, 10/10 experience at Crab A Cold One!! I had great communication with host before and during our visit. Thank you Robert for making our vacation/wedding a memorable one and also mark one in the books for my daughter’s wedding 6-12-26. Congrats Hailee & Joey. We’ll be back next year for their anniversary!

    The home was beautiful and just what we needed with the pool, hot tub, and close beach access. Communication with the owners from start to finish was great! Thank you for sharing your home! Only issue I noticed is the upstairs stair area, it’s very easy for them to fall through and down the stairs. (Maybe not a house for toddlers that want to explore everything)

    Perfect size house for a family. It was my husband and I and our 2 teen daughters and one of our daughter's friends. The house was clean, and stocked with nessessities. Pool was relaxing and the kids loved the hot tub. Highly reccomend this house. Decent location to walk or take a quick drive to the beach that has free parking. We had a wonderful week, no complaints at all.

    We had an amazing time staying at property. Check in was so easy and host were easy to communicate with and always willing to help. Amenities were amazing including the beach wagon. It was very difficult to get my kids to do something other then swim in the inground pool. The beach wasnt too far of a walk to get it. We loved staying here!!!

    Relaxing, private beach house. We had a group family of 10 with plenty of room. No issues with house or appliances. Nice location to beach. We would recommend.

    The owners were in contact with us before the trip even started to give us advice on how to avoid a toll road to save us money. We arrived to an amazing house that was immaculate inside. A private pool, a private, hot tub, basketball court, ping pong table, a pool table, a foosball table, and a horseshoe pit to keep everyone busy when we weren’t at the beach. 3 blocks from a beach with a life guard. There was every cooking utensil and implement you could possibly need for home-cooked meals. You cannot go wrong renting this house. The owners went out of their way to make us feel at home for the week we were there. Don’t miss a chance to stay in an amazing house in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood
