We loved our stay so much that we have already booked for next summer!Plenty of space, comfortable beds, and Robert is an incredibly responsive host. Definitely recommend staying here during your next trip to the OBX!

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!
