Great place for a family of 4. Great pool and locale. Short drive to 4x4 beach. Great mini golf across the street. Location offers areas for corn hole, volleyball, wiffle ball, etc. Pet friendly and our dog Marshall felt right at home. 5 stars.

Wonderful!

The Crabacabana was perfect for our stay to attend a wedding. It is just as advertised and accommodated 2 couples so we each had our own spaces with the bed and bath set up. We loved the private courtyard to sit and relax. Kim provided so much information prior to check in and reached out after arriving to ensure we had everything needed. Thanks Kim for sharing your home! Would definitely stay again if we travel back to OBX!

Nice place to relax

Corolla is a great town for those looking for a place not quite as busy as Kill Devil or Nags Head. We found the Crabacabana very clean, which is important to us, and a nice, like new unit that was ideal for 2 couples.

Little piece of Beach Heaven

The CrabaCabana was perfect for our family of four and two pups. This was our first time at Corolla and it was perfect. The place was spotless and comfy. It was close to the beach and fully stocked with basics. Owners were very attentive. We will definitely book again.

We really enjoyed our stay CrabaCabana! The place was spotless and very comfortable. When we had an issue with one of the appliances, communication with the owner and property manager was flawless and the matter was resolved that same day. We plan on coming back to CrabaCabana in the future. We loved it!!!

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly Woods

Host profile image
My family and I live in the beautiful Mid Hudson Valley, situated about 80 miles north of NYC, but consider Corolla our home away from home. We discovered OBX back in 2003 and returned annually before finally deciding to purchase CrabaCabana in 2020. We are excited to share our lil' slice of the island with guests, family and friends. If you are an outdoor lover like us, we are sure you will love all that Corolla has to offer.
