You can't beat the views from the screened in porch and it is so nice to look out and see the ocean while cooking. The kitchen is nicely stocked and the extra large dining table makes it perfect for games. The ping-pong table and hammock are always a big hit! The direct beach access is great! As always, the host is awesome to work with and checks in during your stay to make sure things are going well.

Fantastic Family Stay

The King Krab was the perfect house for my family's vacation! My 3-year-old loved all the space and toys the home had to offer, and us adults thoroughly enjoyed the large kitchen and screened-in back deck. The beach being such a short walk down the private boardwalk was an added bonus. The owner was prompt with answers and information any time we needed something, and the house was clean, well maintained, and comfortable! We will definitely be back!

King Krab a must stay when at Holden Beach

The King Krab is a great house for the family to enjoy Holden Beach. The rooms are clean, the kitchen has all the amenities . The kids love looking at all the crab and ocean life trinkets around the inside of this house. The outdoor deck and access to this quiet beach is the best part of staying at the King Krab. We will rent again.

Great house! Location and views are wonderful. Felt very private but also conveniently located on OBW and a quick drive to bridge. House is nicely furnished with comfortable chairs, sofas and beds! Bedrooms are spacious and bathrooms are nice with plenty of space and countertops. Loved the kitchen and its layout. Everything you need and more! Really appreciated the recycling and laundry/utility room. The outdoor spaces at the house are really nice. We enjoyed the large screened porch as well as the sunny patio and view of the ocean. The covered game room on the lower level was lots of fun too! Thanks for a memorable week! Highly recommend!

Another amazing year at the King Crab!

Staying at the King Crab is a family tradition! The beach was lovely and not too crowded. We enjoyed the baby birds nest in the outdoor area. We swam, ate at Mermaids, slided on the slides, played board games and enjoyed the beach. See you next year!

Another wonderful stay at the King Crab

This is our 3rd stay at the King Crab and is officially a family tradition. The location is unbeatable and the house easily met our needs with 6 adults and 2 kids. We love Holden because the waves are gentle and it’s not too crowded. The most magical part this year was discovering prehistoric sea biscuit fossils on the beach- so special! We’ll be back again next year!

About the host

Hosted by Steve - Owner

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 and have now seen our kids grow up while owning this house. It is part of our family and our 'Golden Jewel'. We use it all year long when we are not renting it. We love owning this solid home and have put a lot of time, money, sweat & love into keeping this home beautiful.

Why they chose this property

When we were looking to buy a beach house, we looked at a lot of beaches and houses! The first time we walked into this home we told the realtor 'That we are done looking. This is the house we want'. Holden Beach is close enough to Wilmington, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC (40 miles each way) that you can make a nice day trip there if you like. Holden Beach has been annually ranked in the country as a top 10 family beach. Holden Beach is an island with over 8 miles of clean sandy beaches. There is hardly any commercialization on the island. No building is over 2 stories tall!!! You also have access to some of the best seafood restaurants on the coast or you can buy it fresh and cook it at our home. Crabs are easily caught (Email us for info) and easy to prepare especially at The Krab.

What makes this property unique

Just sitting on the screen porch and rocking away while starring at the moon is all that needs to be said (with or without cigar and beverage). Or venture out further and walk on the beach and let the water wash away all your worries. Or if it rains... play ping pong or corn hole in the enclosed garage. We are really close to a bunch of Golf resorts and ice cream establishments.
