Happy Crab is the perfect retreat for your Outer Banks family vacation, located a short walk (only 600 feet) from the beautiful beaches of Nags Head!

The beach is just across the road via the semi-private beach access just south of the Surfside Hotel. When not spending your days in the sand, the 12x24 private pool is the perfect spot to soak up the sun. Sit back and relax in the bubbling hot tub. Enjoy beautiful views of both the ocean and the sound, and take in the famous, stunning Outer Banks sunrises and sunsets from both the sun and covered decks of this well-appointed home.

Inside, the 3-level reverse floor plan at Happy Crab provides an abundance of space for you and your family to spread out. Happy Crab offers a recreation room with a pool table for family fun. All TVs have WiFi Smart hub Blu-rays, so you can use your own Netflix or Hulu account to watch whatever you want. There is also a large Blu-ray movie collection for guest use!

This area is known for its outstanding shopping and dining, and is also close to many unique Outer Banks attractions, including multiple fishing piers, the Bodie Island Lighthouse, Jockey's Ridge State Park, the Wright Brother's National Memorial, and more.
