Charming Oceanfront Duplex
“The Crab House” (named by the owner's grandson who loves to hunt for ghost crabs) is a 4-bedroom 3-bath oceanfront duplex in the Village of Nags Head. Located in the Sea Pointe Community, you'll appreciate the roomy pool and tennis courts which are just steps away from your front door. The Village of Nags Head also provides community amenities you'll savor including 2 sound beaches, reduced green costs at Nags Head Golf Links, and community tennis & pickleball courts.
The bottom level of the home has a thoughtfully designed layout that offers an open-concept, tiered floor plan that defines the common spaces without dividing them. The living area is ideal for entertaining featuring comfortable seating around a constructed-in entertainment center with bespoke cabinetry, a Flat Screen TV, cozy gas fireplace and wet bar with wine cooler. Savor handsome wood floors throughout the great room area which opens up to a covered oceanfront deck. The dining room offers seating for 8 and is adjacent to a breakfast nook and kitchen with cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and additional seating at the bar. A bedroom acts as a Den during the day with LCD TV and screened porch access, but features 2 Twin Beds and a Trundle (which can be pushed against a Twin to create a King bed). The laundry area and a full hall bathroom complete the level.
Outside, a fenced side yard is the ideal spot for playing yard games or grilling up some fresh seafood for dinner. The covered deck will take you right to a walkway to the beach with a shared gazebo. A gorgeous screened porch with plenty of tables and seating space is a great place to relax when you want to appreciate the ocean breeze. A convenient outdoor shower provides a place to rinse off after a day of fun in the sun.
Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms. Rest simple in a Master King Bedroom with electric fireplace, cozy seating area with spectacular vistas, TV, and attached full bath with shower, double vanity, and a whirlpool tub that overlooks the ocean. Another King Bedroom with TV and a third bedroom with a Bunk Bed and Day Bed w/ Pop-Up Trundle share a full-sized bathroom in the hall with double vanity and a shower/tub combo.

How to find the best Nags Head vacation rental experience:
Getting the best rental value:
- Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
- Summer is high season in Nags Head. To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic.
- Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
- Booking websites often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
- Look for your local Nags Head area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.
How to select the perfect vacation rental:
- To start, have your family choose date ranges and a max budget.
- Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. NHSP1A The Crab House * Oceanfront has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Nags Head rental home search.
- Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If not, call the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is optimal for your group.
- If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
- If there's a specific Nags Head attraction you long to visit, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
- Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
Know before you go:
- Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
- Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
- Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
- To make sure no damages are attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the host immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
- Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
- Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
- Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
- Leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to stimulate new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
