Very clean and has more than everything you need . Loved the view and the screened in porch . Our sons had fun in the pedal boat and hot tub . We enjoyed fishing off the dock .
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.
Everything was great. Wonderful location, communication was immediate and helpful. House was really nice and beautifully decorated. Can’t beat the boat dock set up.
If only they could have controlled the weather, it would have been perfection
Great place to relax and get away from the daily hub Bub of life! Property is as advertised, owners are spot on with communication for questions and concerns.
Would decently stay there again
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.
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.
The house was just as described, great location, Rey clean, owners thought of everything! Really enjoyed the outside with the canal and boats as well as the Hot tub. Easy access to beach and town. I would highly recommend it!
The house was just as advertised. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to rent this house again.
The convenience of the launch and boat dock was great. The house was clean and fresh and well stocked.
Property as described. Great home and Property combination for a family vacation. Walk to the beach is approximately a half mile. Think that should be clarified.
This house was perfect. It had everything we needed to enjoy our long weekend. It was very clean. Location is perfect. The host was very responsive and made sure everything was taken care of. We loved all of the amenities. Look forward to staying here again in the future.
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!
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.
Our family of four had a wonderful vacation in Topsail and truly enjoyed staying at the Krusty Krab rental. We trailered our boat down, so having the boat ramp and dock was especially convenient. Brinnan was super fast with any questions I had prior to arrival. The kids loved having their own space in the upstairs loft area. And we all enjoyed watching tv together in the comfortable couch area. I especially enjoyed the bay window kitchen table for drinking my coffee in the morning. Would highly recommend.
I chose this home based on the amenities and the canal access. They were exactly as shown, all in great shape and well maintained. The hot tub was very high quality and we loved the kayaks / SUPs. The kids loved fishing right off the dock and we got plenty of action.
Inside - the house is beautiful and when we arrived it was exceptionally clean. It was so comfortable cooking and using the kitchen.
The hosts take great care in providing all of the little things too - ziplock bags, scissors, extra bath items for anything you might have forgotten.
Highly recommend!
Our stay was absolutely amazing! There wasn't a detail left unnoticed from the host. We didn't even need to leave our rental. The kayaks were absolutely perfect to have on site and we loved the hot tub. It's one of the nicer ones we've used. The beds were very comfortable and the layout provided perfect space for everyone. There was plenty of parking, and having a few items already stocked made a big difference. We will absolutely stay here as our first choice each time we visit the island. Thank you for a much-needed vacation.
This place was wonderful for our family: we loved kayaking off the back dock in the channel/back-bay, using the golf-cart to go to the beach, eating in the screened in porch, hot tubbing, going to the beach, and even playing vintage video games with the kids. The pictures don't do it justice! It is a lovely home, clean and well-maintained. And Brinnan, the host, was so gracious and helpful in answering our questions and getting us squared away. I'd definitely recommend getting the golf cart as well. A great experience for all of our family!
Great location on the canal with an easy walk to the beach. (Although we did opt for the golf cart rental which made it even easier for quick jaunts back and forth.) We spent hours daily on the dock. Just relaxing, swimming, and of course all the water activities. Can't beat that the use of the kayaks, paddle boards, and the peddle boat are all included for guest use. The house was very clean and organized. The hosts are very quick to respond to messages and seem very genuine in making sure you have an enjoyable stay. We had a great time and would definitely stay at the Krusty Krab again!
Great house, family of 5 very comfortable space. Lots of basics provided, we Instacarted with groceries arriving right on arrival. You really don’t have to leave the house. We loved the screened in porch overlooking the canal, the covered dock, water toys and hot tub. I learned the hard way that the boat ramp can be VERY slick depending on the tide, be careful there. We opted for the golf cart last minute which was great for getting to and from the beach or just tooling around the canal but the main road was too busy for it to feel right even though it is legal. Overall very relaxing vacation, responsive owners receptive to needs.
This property was one of our favorite VRBOs we've ever visited. The house is beautiful and included so many amenities. We enjoyed the boats, the yard, the dock, the hot tub, etc. The house is pristine with the latest appliances and services. We've stayed many times at locations on the beach, but we found that we enjoyed the canal area more. We had a great yard and access to the water and it was in a wonderful neighborhood. We loved the dock area so much we didn't visit the beach as much as normal. We hope to visit again soon. Thanks for sharing your home!
This host and property deserves all the positive reviews it could get. The home was immaculate and they have thought of everything at this property. If there was a "negative" it was that there is not a lot of water pressure for the showers, but that will not stop us from returning.
The host was extremely responsive in a matter of minutes and very accommodating to our requests. if you want perfection in your next beach getaway, look no further and book this property. This home and host will not disappoint! We are already looking at our calendar so we can book this property again.....SOON ;-)
House was well stocked and very clean. We would stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Brinnan Coates
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!
