We absolutely loved this home! It was just my husband and myself, but we can’t wait to bring our kids back! They had everything you could possibly need. We loved being on the water and having a boat landing so we could bring our boat! We saw so many dolphins while out on the water. They also have the hot tub & golf cart you can rent, which I highly recommend! Super responsive and kind hosts. We left a piece of clothing there and he immediately shipped it to us. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. We can’t wait to come back!

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!

We had a great time at the Krusty krab! Brinnan was great and very quick to respond to an issue during our stay, and the issue was addressed promptly. There were so many things to do from the kayaks, the dock, and the hot tub, and the beach being within walking distance. We brought our boat and spent most of our time on the dock and taking the boat out during the day. We had small children with us and the only thing I would mention is that the screened in patio should have some type of railing on the bottom for safety. The house was very clean and the kitchen well stocked. Beds were very comfortable with crisp linens. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

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.
