About this property
CrabaCabana: The Heart of Corolla Beach Life/Steps to Sand<10 min.
Welcome to the CrabaCabana in Corolla! This single-level oceanside beach retreat offers a coastal escape with high-end finishes throughout—the perfect blend of convenience and relaxation, steps from mini-golf and less than a 10-minute walk to the beach. Vaulted ceilings in the great room create an expansive, open atmosphere, where you can unwind in the living space or prepare meals in the chef-inspired kitchen. Natural light pours through the windows, filling the home with a breezy, sun-kissed ambiance that epitomizes beachside living. As you step into this thoughtfully designed home, you'll be welcomed by an open-concept living room and kitchen. With sleek quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, solid-wood cabinetry, and coastal-chic furnishings, this space is as stylish as it is functional. Enjoy modern amenities, including 3 TVs, a washer/dryer, and Wi-Fi throughout the home. Retreat to the primary bedroom, where you'll find a king-sized bed, TV, and an ensuite bathroom for added privacy and convenience. The second bedroom also features a king-sized bed, TV, and private access to the full-sized hallway bathroom. After a fun day at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower and then relax on your private back patio. Equipped with an outdoor grill and comfortable seating, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy the coastal breeze and unwind.

About the host
Hosted by Kimberly Woods
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.
