Fantastic Family Stay

The King Krab was the perfect house for my family's vacation! My 3-year-old loved all the space and toys the home had to offer, and us adults thoroughly enjoyed the large kitchen and screened-in back deck. The beach being such a short walk down the private boardwalk was an added bonus. The owner was prompt with answers and information any time we needed something, and the house was clean, well maintained, and comfortable! We will definitely be back!

Great vacation house and great host

The house is exactly what you see in the pictures, if not better. The interior is well kept, the kitchen well stocked, and the layout is convenient for multiple groups. If anything, it exceeded expectations. We ended up going during tropical storm Debby. The owner communicated very well and was very responsive as a few expected issues came about due to the storm. For all these reasons, we would consider staying at the King Krab again.

KingCrab never disappoints! We had a great time and the screened porch is wonderful. We cooked several meals in and had what we needed. The ping pong table was used daily. The owner is always very communicative and is available if needed. We are looking forward to going back!

Wonderful family house on the beach

The best beach week we’ve had! The house is fun and beautiful, with its updated and well equipped kitchen to the transformed garage turned game room. Even stocked with inside and outside games.The most amazing was the screened porch all along the back, facing the beach. We hope to return next summer!

I thought the accomodations were very comfortable. The owner was very responsive when we had HVAC issues and some sheets/comfortable not clean. It was assumed that the previous guests were trying to hide their mess. Loved the screened porch. Steve was very good to work with.

Another amazing year at the King Crab!

Staying at the King Crab is a family tradition! The beach was lovely and not too crowded. We enjoyed the baby birds nest in the outdoor area. We swam, ate at Mermaids, slided on the slides, played board games and enjoyed the beach. See you next year!

King Krave Life

The joyful yellow house made us happy the moment we pulled in. The stocked kitchen and abundant amenities exceeded expectations. The addition of the personal ice maker made life so much easier! The kitchen layout and large dinning table were perfect for 8 adults to dine together and play games, so important for a great vacation! The full downstairs bathroom was a huge plus!! Needless to say, the new screened in porch was KRABtastic!!! It was especially nice that the owner checked on us to ensure we found everything to our liking - real personal touch!

King Krab delivers

We stayed here in 2013 and loved it. Then, it was five adults; this year, five aduanas three children, 5, 3, and 3 months. It was awesome for everyone. We made friends with neighbors/ renters on both sides. We found the crab/shark motifs spectacular…the kids couldn’t keep track of the number of crabs and sharks throughout. We enjoyed then access to the beach, the screened-in porch, and the overall layout of the house. We would suggest firmer mattresses, and an outdoor shower (which the house had in 2013). Steve could not have been more accommodating. We wanted to let him know about a slow flushing toilet downstairs that we noticed when we arrived, and he was Johnny- on-the-spot. (We never needed to use the shower or toilet, but we wanted to make him aware that the problem was there when we arrived). We look forward to a futbooking of King Krab. No complaints! Please extend our gratitude to the Krangle family for their hospitality. Cathy and Bill (High Point,) Jenna, Will, and Eleanor Bencini (Everett, WA), and Sarah, Jason, and Frances Schafhauser (Winston-Salem).

Great week at Holden

Rally enjoyed our week at Holden Beach with family. Our home was clean and comfortable with a great beachfront location. We enjoyed spending quality time on the spacious screened in porching over looking the Atlantic. The ping pong table and corn hole game provided additional entertainment. The owner was a pleasure to deal with. Look forward to going back next year.

Another wonderful stay at the King Crab

This is our 3rd stay at the King Crab and is officially a family tradition. The location is unbeatable and the house easily met our needs with 6 adults and 2 kids. We love Holden because the waves are gentle and it’s not too crowded. The most magical part this year was discovering prehistoric sea biscuit fossils on the beach- so special! We’ll be back again next year!

Fabulous Thanksgiving at the Beach

This is a fabulous house on a beautiful beach and Thanksgiving was the perfect time to enjoy all that it offers. Steve's house has everything you need with a full kitchen for cooking an entire Thanksgiving meal. The screened in front porch overlooking the oceans has plenty of rocking chairs to sit and take in the sounds and sights of the ocean. Steve was a great communicator and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. There were so many extras; a ping pong table, extra ice maker, wine cooler, big screen TV and a great kids room where any child (of any age) would love to stay. it is also a great location on the island.

Fall getaway

The King Crab is on a wonderful stretch of beach with no high rises. There are several restaurants within walking distance even in late October. The owner is very attentive to any needs and checks to make sure you are doing well. The home is well stocked with things for kids and lots of books. The screened in porch was our favorite as you can be outside even if it's raining or late at night if there are more bugs. We would definitely go back.
