Wonderful!

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!

Nice place to relax

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.

Little piece of Beach Heaven

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.
