The Happy Crab is a well-maintained, semi-oceanfront home in Nags Head that will meet all of your family holiday needs and then some. A variety of amenities will keep everyone in your group entertained throughout your stay, including a private pool, hot tub and rec room. The central location can't be beat, and getting to the beach will be quick and safe using the pedestrian pedestrian crossing and public access just a two-minute walk from the house.

With over 3,500 square feet of indoor living, this spacious retreat provides plenty of room for spreading out while still being under one roof. Four of the seven bedrooms include king beds and ensuite baths, perfect for extended families or multiple groups holidaying together. The open-concept great room can accommodate large gatherings and leads out to an east-facing covered deck for effortless indoor/outdoor flow. Back inside, additional features include vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and plenty of windows for abundant natural light. The chef in your group will appreciate the bright and airy kitchen with stainless steel appliances and an island with bar seating. The primary bedroom is located just off the living area and includes a private bath with jetted tub and separate shower. Stained glass transom windows provide additional light and whimsical charm.

On the mid-level, you'll find four more bedrooms, including the second king bedroom with private bath. The last two king ensuites are located on the ground level, along with a rec room where guests can shoot pool or host poker night. There's also a kitchenette with full-size fridge for grabbing a drink or snack without having to go upstairs. When you do need to make your way to the upper levels, skip the stairs and use the lift - it's especially convenient for unpacking luggage and groceries. The rec room offers direct access to the backyard with sparkling private pool and bubbly hot tub.
