About this Property

  • Sleeps 6
  • 3 Bedrooms
  • 2 Bathrooms
  • Private vacation home
  • Approximately 1000 square feet

The Krusty Krab is an old fashioned, no frills 1960's beach bungalow reminiscent of my family's home on Ocean Isle where I spent summers in the 1970s as a kid. I suppose it is my sentimental nature that led me to buy it 10 years ago and that is reflected in the bungalow's decor and overall 'vibe'. Since this is my second home (not just a rental property) and I come here often, guests will find a well equipped kitchen and a comfortable ambiance (not to mention a striking view of the Atlantic). I come here to appreciate the beach, so this is a 'low tech' home. There is a TV in the living room with cable, but none in the individual bedrooms. WiFi is available. The home comfortably sleeps 6 which is the max. occupancy. Please note that linens are not supplied with your rental. Smoking is not allowed and family pets are not allowed during the season. Family Animals are considered on a case by case basis in the off season.

BEACH ACCESS: As most know, the island was hit very hard by a hurricane in 2020. The dunes were all wiped out and in response the town did a 'sand push' to create a new dune up and down the beach. What this means is that when you go down the front steps to the beach, you will have a slight 'hill' to go over. This is reflected in the property photos, but I am glad to answer any specific questions concerning beach access.

About the Area

Located by the ocean, this vacation home is in Long Beach, a neighborhood in Oak Island. Oak Island Golf Club and The Reserve Golf Club at St. James Plantation are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Caswell Beach and 57th Place West Access Park. Bald Head Island Information Center and North Carolina Maritime Museum at Southport are also worth visiting.

Tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

  • Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Reserve your vacation home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
  • Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
  • Property management companies typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
  • Often, rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and choose a perfectrental:

  • Start by having your family agree to the best dates and a maximum budget.
  • Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Old Style Family Beach Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is best for your family.
  • Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.
  • Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
  • Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Have a great stay:

  • Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
  • Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
  • Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
  • Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
