Great place to stay with teens and your boat!

We had a wonderful time at this updated and CLEAN property. We brought our boat, but our teens had a great time using the paddle boards, kayaks, etc. that are provided. The hosts were very communicative and this was lovely get-away.

Great stay

Fabulous stay at the Krusty Krab. We used the golf cart for the week which made going back and forth to the beach so easy. Used the kayaks and paddle board which was a lot of fun. The kids loved the gaming system. I will say that this is one of the most well stocked rental houses I’ve ever stayed in and the hosts were super responsive. Would absolutely book again if wanting stay on the bay side.

Relaxing vacation stop

The property is well appointed, great location with plenty to do. Communication was excellent from booking all the way through check out. The hot tub was a great way to relax and vicinity to the beautiful beach combined with the golf cart made quick trips to the water easy. Everything you need to stay comfortably even with 7 people.

Amazingly clean and comfortable!

The hosts are fantastically responsive and the cleaning service was of the best we've ever seen. We stayed for 4 nights and truly had an amazing time with zero problems. The recommendations from the hosts on things to do and places to eat were all 100% spot on. We've stayed in ocean front places in the past, but now will prefer to stay on the canals as it's wonderful! So much to do right off the dock and in the wonderful back yard. Thanks to our hosts!

Week of Bliss

We enjoyed our stay at the Krusty Krab, perfect location to ride golf cart for dinner, late night ice cream runs and close to public beach access. We also enjoyed having a private ramp/dock to unload our boat for the week! The home was beautiful, cleaned and fully stocked. My favorite was the coffee nook :-) Book this place, it was not disappoint!

Great Vacation Spot

Property was on a quiet street with direct canal access and public beach access close by. Easy access to shopping and restaurants too. View from the back of the property is beautiful. Very comfortably furnished and clean. Paddle board and kayaks made for extra entertainment. Optional golf cart rental was fun and very useful. I would definitely recommend this property.

A True Gem

This is by far one of my best VRBO experiences. The house was spotless, and the cleaning lady is so very sweet. The host is TOP NOTCH and could not have asked for a better communication. I definitely recommend this house for anybody needing some R&R. And I also look forward to my next visit to topsail. I will definitely be staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Brinnan Coates

Host profile image
We are excited to share our home with you! We enjoy traveling, boating and live music. We are big on water sports and hoping to get our 3 year old, Cash out on a board this summer. We both grew up in North Carolina and are huge Wolfpack fans! Go Pack!

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love the water. We wanted a place we could come occasionally and be able to share our love of the water with others. We love the fact that the street is quiet with plenty of room for our kids to play. The water is deep so we can bring our boat and we still have easy access to the beach!

What makes this property unique

We love eating dinner from the dining room or back porch and watching the boats go by!
