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 everybody 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 fast and safe using the pedestrian crosswalk and public access just a two-min. walk from the home.

With over 3,500 square feet of indoor living, this cavernous getaway provides plenty of room for spreading out while still being under one roof. Four of the seven bedrooms include king beds and ensuite baths, ideal for extended families or multiple groups visiting together. The open-concept great room can accommodate enormous gatherings and leads out to an east-facing covered deck for effortless indoor/outdoor flow. Back inside, additional features include vaulted ceilings, wood floors and plenty of windows for generous natural light. The chef in your group will savor 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 appeal.

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 nighttime. There's also a kitchenette with full-size refrigerator 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 bags and groceries. The rec room offers direct access to the backyard with shining private pool and bubbly hot tub.

Located at Milepost 14 in Nags Head, The Happy Crab is located 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.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Nags Head rental experience:

Find your perfect rental:

Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Nags Head. To get the best rental within your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Nags Head restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
Find a copy of your local Nags Head visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have coupons for local tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

Begin by choosing your trip dates and a max budget.
Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. The Happy Crab: Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Rec Room has 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Advice for a great stay:

Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
During check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local beaches.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did your group have a terrific stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
