CrabaCabana: Condo in the Heart of Corolla Beach Life ~ Steps to Sand<10 min.
Welcome to the CrabaCabana in Corolla! This single-level oceanside beach retreat offers a coastal escape with high-end finishes throughout—the perfect blend of convenience and relaxation, steps from mini-golf and less than a 10-minute walk to the beach. Vaulted ceilings in the great room create an expansive, open atmosphere, where you can unwind in the living space or prepare meals in the chef-inspired kitchen. Natural light pours through the windows, filling the home with a breezy, sun-kissed ambiance that epitomizes beachside living. As you step into this thoughtfully designed home, you'll be welcomed by an open-concept living room and kitchen. With sleek quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, solid-wood cabinetry, and coastal-chic furnishings, this space is as stylish as it is functional. Enjoy modern amenities, including 3 TVs, a washer/dryer, and Wi-Fi throughout the home. Retreat to the primary bedroom, where you'll find a king-sized bed, TV, and an ensuite bathroom for added privacy and convenience. The second bedroom also features a king-sized bed, TV, and private access to the full-sized hallway bathroom. After a fun day at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower and then relax on your private back patio. Equipped with an outdoor grill and comfortable seating, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy the coastal breeze and unwind.

We loved staying here this week. The place was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect; quick walk to the beach and other family members' houses. Kimberly is an excellent communicator and made the experience easy and enjoyable.
This house/condo has everything you need and is in fantastic condition. Great location near the attractions, shops and restaurants - even in the off season!
We will stay again when in Corolla!
We really enjoyed staying at CrabaCabana! It was absolutely immaculate, and had so many extras that made our stay even more enjoyable! The host Kim was so accomodating, and answered every question we had!
Corolla is a great town for those looking for a place not quite as busy as Kill Devil or Nags Head. We found the Crabacabana very clean, which is important to us, and a nice, like new unit that was ideal for 2 couples.
We had a wonderful time while in OBX and the CrabaCabana was a perfect place for us. Clean, comfortable (the bed in the primary bedroom was SO comfy) and well stocked. The host was so responsive and understanding. We will definitely be staying again!
Easy access, good parking, beautiful home, nicely furnished including all the necessities of home. Very comfy beds, nice clean bathrooms. Everything was just perfect for our needs. Thank you so much!
The CrabaCabana was perfect for our family of four and two pups. This was our first time at Corolla and it was perfect. The place was spotless and comfy. It was close to the beach and fully stocked with basics. Owners were very attentive. We will definitely book again.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! The house was perfect and immaculately clean. Its location was ideal, being close to everything we needed. Our dog especially loved it, and we appreciated how pet-friendly the property was. Kim was awesome and very responsive. Highly recommend and would love to return!
Very clean with great accommodations. Everything you need is at the property with new/newer appliances. Short distance to the beach. Nice outdoor shower to use when returning from the beach. Only used the pool once, but was nice and clean. Would definitely stay here again!
The Crabacabana was perfect for our stay to attend a wedding. It is just as advertised and accommodated 2 couples so we each had our own spaces with the bed and bath set up. We loved the private courtyard to sit and relax.
Kim provided so much information prior to check in and reached out after arriving to ensure we had everything needed.
Thanks Kim for sharing your home!
Would definitely stay again if we travel back to OBX!
Crabacabana was just wonderful. The property is well-maintained and very clean. It was a perfect size for me and my friend. The decor is such a delight, fun and beachy. I loved everything about it. I will definitely be returning.
The CrabaCabana was the nicest place we have ever stayed in the OBX. It was beautiful, clean, well stocked, well designed and decorated. Everything you needed was covered. The owner Kim was so kind and responsive and we felt cared for. The amenities were good too- the pool was clean and easy to access. The grounds were clean too and convenient for walking the dogs. It was quiet and relaxing there. The beach access was well marked. It’s a bit of a walk to the beach but driving was a breeze. I would highly recommend this property to my family and friends.
My husband, myself and our French Bulldog, Louie had a wonderful stay at the CrabaCabana. We have vacationed at the Outer Banks for over 30 years and have never stayed in Corolla. We decided that it was time. We could not believe how much the area has developed over the last several years. Checkin was easy and the unit was spotless. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need. We loved the private patio area and if the weather had been better we would have enjoyed more outdoor time. The grounds are beautifully manicured and pet friendly. The unit is in close proximity to beach access, shopping and restaurants. The CrabaCabana is welcoming and offers everything needed for a wonderful Outer Banks stay.
Great place for a family of 4. Great pool and locale. Short drive to 4x4 beach. Great mini golf across the street. Location offers areas for corn hole, volleyball, wiffle ball, etc. Pet friendly and our dog Marshall felt right at home. 5 stars.
This bungalow was perfect for us. After venturing out during the day, it was wonderful to fall into the extremely comfortable beds for a peaceful night.
