Beautiful canal front home, exceptionally clean!
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!

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.

Loved the Krusty Krab
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.

Relaxing vacation
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.

Most thoughtful details in a vacation rental!
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.

The Krusty Krab has it all!
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!

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!

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.

Nothing short of AMAZING
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 ;-)

Beautiful home! lovely stay
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!
