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!

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.

Wonderful property

My husband, myself and our French Bulldog, Louie had a wonderful stay at the CrabaCabana. We have vacationed at the Outer Banks for over 30 years and have never stayed in Corolla. We decided that it was time. We could not believe how much the area has developed over the last several years. Checkin was easy and the unit was spotless. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need. We loved the private patio area and if the weather had been better we would have enjoyed more outdoor time. The grounds are beautifully manicured and pet friendly. The unit is in close proximity to beach access, shopping and restaurants. The CrabaCabana is welcoming and offers everything needed for a wonderful Outer Banks stay.

Amazing

The CrabaCabana was the nicest place we have ever stayed in the OBX. It was beautiful, clean, well stocked, well designed and decorated. Everything you needed was covered. The owner Kim was so kind and responsive and we felt cared for. The amenities were good too- the pool was clean and easy to access. The grounds were clean too and convenient for walking the dogs. It was quiet and relaxing there. The beach access was well marked. It’s a bit of a walk to the beach but driving was a breeze. I would highly recommend this property to my family and friends.

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 beach getaway!

We had a great time at your Crabby Cabana!!!!! Unit was exactly as described. It was perfect for our family of four and our dog Bandit. We loved the location and also the pool after the beach. The unit is comfortable and has everything that you will need. Beds were comfortable and place was very clean and kitchen was well stocked and supplied for your needs. We rode bikes everyday and loved all the sidewalks for the biking-- you can go along way! We took our Jeep 4 wheel in the sand and saw some of the horses. Also saw many folks stuck! At night, we loved the grass course mini golf across the street. Also we had a great time at Adventure Golf -- kids liked that one the best. We biked to the local restaurants and also hit the great Beer Garden. Only negative is the fact our dog misbehaved. I have to say Kim is absolutely wonderful. I have rented from many VRBO places and Kim by a landside was the nicest and easiest to deal with. She answered all of my emails so quickly and also was so understanding and considerate with our mishap with our dog. I will never forget that. We had a wonderful stay and WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place and also the property owner. THANKS AGAIN KIM. You are a great owner.

Lovely Beach Theme Condo

This lovely beach themed condo was perfect for our family of 6, 4 adults and 2 kids. It is immaculate and fully equipped with everything you need for your stay. Walk or drive to beach. We rented a golf cart to drive to beach in the heat of the day and walked in the evening when the sun went up down. Nearby shopping and activities. Excellent communication with host. Highly recommend.

Hidden Gem! Central location.

We really enjoyed our stay; the condo was centrally located in Corolla and we were able to easily make it our base for adventures to the beach and local attractions. We also appreciated how quiet it was, no parties, no commotion. We were able to bring our two dogs which was a huge bonus. Kimberly checked in with us regularly to make sure everything was going well. Thank you Kimberly and family. We hope to be back soon!

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.

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.
