You can't beat the views from the screened in porch and it is so nice to look out and see the ocean while cooking. The kitchen is nicely stocked and the extra large dining table makes it perfect for games. The ping-pong table and hammock are always a big hit! The direct beach access is great! As always, the host is awesome to work with and checks in during your stay to make sure things are going well.

King Krab a must stay when at Holden Beach

The King Krab is a great house for the family to enjoy Holden Beach. The rooms are clean, the kitchen has all the amenities . The kids love looking at all the crab and ocean life trinkets around the inside of this house. The outdoor deck and access to this quiet beach is the best part of staying at the King Krab. We will rent again.

Fantastic Family Stay

The King Krab was the perfect house for my family's vacation! My 3-year-old loved all the space and toys the home had to offer, and us adults thoroughly enjoyed the large kitchen and screened-in back deck. The beach being such a short walk down the private boardwalk was an added bonus. The owner was prompt with answers and information any time we needed something, and the house was clean, well maintained, and comfortable! We will definitely be back!

Another amazing year at the King Crab!

Staying at the King Crab is a family tradition! The beach was lovely and not too crowded. We enjoyed the baby birds nest in the outdoor area. We swam, ate at Mermaids, slided on the slides, played board games and enjoyed the beach. See you next year!

Another wonderful stay at the King Crab

This is our 3rd stay at the King Crab and is officially a family tradition. The location is unbeatable and the house easily met our needs with 6 adults and 2 kids. We love Holden because the waves are gentle and it’s not too crowded. The most magical part this year was discovering prehistoric sea biscuit fossils on the beach- so special! We’ll be back again next year!

The best beach week we’ve had! The house is fun and beautiful, with its updated and well equipped kitchen to the transformed garage turned game room. Even stocked with inside and outside games.The most amazing was the screened porch all along the back, facing the beach. We hope to return next summer!

A "Krabby" Delight

We LOVED our stay at the King Krab! It was everything we expected and more. The owners checked in with us to see how things were going and were absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend staying at this home. The special touches, toys, and games throughout the home did not go unnoticed. :)
