New to Seaside for 2025
The Happy Crab: Your Nags Head Getaway
Escape to The Happy Crab, a delightful semi-oceanfront retreat in the heart of Nags Heads. Just 75 feet from the beach, this charming vacation home offers breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean from its spacious deck, creating the perfect setting for your seaside escape. Whether you're savoring your morning coffee while watching the sunrise or unwinding after a day of adventure, the vistas will leave you captivated. Best of all, this property is dog-friendly, so your four-legged family members can join the fun!

Inside, The Happy Crab is thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. The main level features a Queen Master Bedroom for ultimate relaxation, a second Queen Bedroom, and a cozy Bedroom with two Twin Beds—perfect for families. The cook's Kitchen is equipped with modern appliances for all your culinary creations, while the inviting open-concept Living Area and Dining Area provide a welcoming space to gather and create lasting memories while you soak in the Outer Banks sunshine. Step out onto the deck to enjoy beautiful views and an evening under the stars. Back inside, a hallway bathroom adds to the convenience, ensuring everyone feels right at home.

Downstairs, you'll find practical amenities like storage for your beach gear and an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand after a day on the shore. The highlight of the ground level is the underhouse Hot Tub—a tranquil spot to soak and unwind, no matter the season. With its unbeatable location, comfortable accommodations, and thoughtful touches, The Happy Crab is your ticket to an unforgettable Outer Banks vacation.

Experience Nags Head
When you stay at The Happy Crab, you'll be within short driving distance of tasty restaurants, great shopping centers and wonderful local attractions. Make a day out of exploring the area's history with a visit to Bodie Island Lighthouse, Jockey's Ridge, and the Wright Brothers National Memorial. Your kids will also love stopping by the aquarium in Manteo where they can see sharks, sea turtles, and jellyfish, and touch stingrays! After your busy day, treat yourself to a nice, delicious dinner at Sugar Creek Seafood Restaurant where you'll enjoy an offering of fresh, locally sourced seafood with a waterfront view. For the fisherman in your group, drive just 2 miles up the road to try your luck at the Outer Banks Fishing Pier, and for the sports enthusiasts, visit Nags Head Golf Links for a thrilling round of golf. On a rainy day, head up to the Outlets in Nags Head for great deals at your favorite stores. Whether you plan to spend your trip exploring the town or prefer to spend all day relaxing on the beach, The Happy Crab is the perfect destination for your next Outer Banks Vacation!

Best Beach Vacation!

We had the best time! The house was perfect for our family, and everything was so clean. We were grateful to be able to bring our furry friend. Every question was answered so fast. We made so many memories together thank you! We can’t wait to come back!
