Enjoy a restorative beach vacation at “Crab Trap”, a semi-oceanfront home with extensive decking, a private pool, and beautiful ocean views! Located just one home away from the oceanfront, the salty breeze and gorgeous views of the ocean are yours to enjoy throughout your stay. With a great selection of amenities and plenty of places to relax, there’s something for everyone at this cheerful, pet friendly vacation home.
On the top floor of the home, the open and airy great room welcomes you with architectural details that welcome you to the Outer Banks. Relax in the living area, which offers ocean views, and catch up with loved ones or watch TV. The gas fireplace is available for use during the cooler months of the year. The nearby kitchen is equipped with all that you need to prepare meals throughout your stay, just stock groceries. The breakfast bar in the kitchen with barstool seating is the perfect spot to sit and eat before heading outside for the day. Meals can be enjoyed at the large table in the dining area. A smaller table is nearby if additional seating is needed, or it can serve as the perfect place to put together a puzzle throughout the week. If you’d rather dine outside, there are seating options available on the deck, with the ocean view as your backdrop. If you’d like a break from the sun, the screened porch is right around the corner. Just up the deck stairs is the crow’s nest, where you can get an even better view of the ocean. Back inside, there is one master bedroom, which includes a private bathroom as well as access to the deck. A half bathroom completes the third floor of the home.
The middle level of the home consists of sleeping quarters. There are two master bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and one with access to the covered deck. There are two additional bedrooms on the second floor, one with access to the deck. Two full bathrooms complete the middle level of the home.
On the ground floor of the home, you will find the laundry room and a second refrigerator. Outside, your family will have fun in the sun in the pool area. Make a splash in the private pool or simply lounge around poolside. There is a poolside pergola if you’d prefer a little less sunshine. The bubbling hot tub is nearby when you’re ready to relax and unwind. An outside half bathroom an added convenience.
The home is centrally located in the Whalehead community, within short driving distance of restaurants, shopping, and attractions in Corolla. The community beach walkway is a short walk away from the home. Spend quality time making family vacation memories together at “Crab Trap” on the Outer Banks!

Guest recommendations
"Our group enjoyed our stay at Crab Trap! The house was clean, well stocked, and had great views of the ocean. The pool and hot tub were nice to have. We appreciated how close the home was to the beach access."
"Service was fast and friendly. I would remove all carpet and replace with hard floors and area rugs if it was my property, but I loved the design and location of the house!"
"We loved the kitchen amenities. Well stocked with appliances, utensils and glass and dish ware. And the outside higher deck was a favorite place to hang out both first thing in the morning and then again in the evening. (We called it the crow’s nest.). Bedrooms were very comfortable."
We're so happy that you enjoyed the Crab Trap. Thank you for the feedback. We look forward to having you again in 2025!
"The great room was very comfortable and we liked the dining room, game table and screened porch. Loved the crow’s nest with its great view. Deck furniture was good quality, plentiful, and comfortable. Toilet in the outdoor shower is a nice idea, the hot tub was easy to operate and big enough for a group."

"Great staff. Great communication. Wonderful location. The home was set up perfect. The owners went beyond the expectations, for a gift for our grandson. We have been coming to the Corolla area for years and always did VRBO. Never again. It will be Twiddy from now on"

"The home fullfilled our needs nicely. Bunk beds were very squeaky and somewhat uncomfortable and the pool was nice but seemed to lose a lot of water and may have a leak somewhere. Kitchen had all the cooking equipment that we needed and the location was ideal. May rent again in the future"

"Close to beach!"
"High end appliances. Close to shopping and restaurants."
"This is our 4th time staying at the Crab Trap. Our experience is nothing but stellar with Twiddy and the house. The house has everything you need from the amenities to house itself. It checks all the boxes for us and we love that we can bring our dog. Thank you for another great year."
"Clean great location! House was well stocked with everything you needed to cook! Would stay here again."
"Loved this home. Loved our neighbors. Only thing I'd add are a set of oven mitts - one was missing. As we loved using the pool every after noon we wished the house had plastic glassware. A large plastic pitcher would be nice too so that we can mix drinks and serve pool side."
Hi Sally, so glad you enjoyed yourselves at the Crab Trap. Appreciate your feedback and we will make sure to add/replace plastic glassware and kitchen supplies. Hope to have you back next season!
"Fantastic home for our stay - plenty of room for us all!"
"Property was great for our family trip, clean, decent views, and the kids loved the pool."
