Sound front-Close to the Ocean-.Memorial and Labor Day weekend require 4 nights
About this house rental
Situated in Kill Devil Hills, this attractive house for $245 per night is a great option for your next break. Linen/Towel package available for "8" at $85. NO cancellation policy NO Parties allowed. NO PETS allowed. The house is 1,650 square feet and sits one one wooded acre. The house has the popular 'reverse' floor plan (living area upstairs with bedroom areas downstairs). The house sits on a cove of the Albemarle Sound. There is a 110 foot private walkway from the house to a dock with a gazebo. The house and gazebo face south-west offering beautiful sunsets. A porch off the kitchen faces the woods and offers a quiet serenity not often found at the beach. The beach (Atlantic Ocean) is less than a mile away and there is a bicycle path that runs in front of the 'Sound Crab', by the Wright Memorial ending at the major ocean access point in Kill Devil Hills. The house is tastefully decorated. There is an extraordinary amount of glass to take advantage of the sound and woods views. The kitchen is well equipped and contains all modern appliances. The house is far enough off the road (that dead ends less than 100 feet in a cul-de-sac) that traffic is rarely heard. A full-size washer and dryer are in a storage area on this floor. A Weber charcoal barbecue grill is available on the deck. A deck covers three sides of the lower level while the porch covers a fourth side. A deck covers two sides of the upper level while a porch covers a third side. Rising from this level of deck is a roof top deck. This deck is 35 feet off the ground. The house is wired for the internet. I can provide a more thorough description if requested... Keywords: 4 bedroom beach house

In an area that's surrounded by activity, the Sound Crab is an oasis in the middle. You can bike or drive to beaches, restaurants or every conceivable activity, and come back to quiet and natural beauty. My favorite vacation place since 1998.

This place is close enough to everything but in a very quiet neighborhood. It was an enjoyable place to stay.

Secluded, but only a few minutes away from KDH. Gorgeous views, and lots of little places to get privacy. We look forward to coming back!

Beautiful house in a great location. The deck space on both levels is amazing and I love that you can access it from every bedroom. A very peaceful setting with beautiful views of the sunset over the water. The pictures do not fully prepare you for how amazing this house is!

We had a great time during our stay. The house is nice, clean and the view cannot be beat! We've stayed in OBX numerous times and this has been our favorite house by far. It was everything we expected and then some. Thank you David for sharing your home with us!

This property was perfect for our extended family. Our 2 kids, their spouses, and 2 grandchildren stayed comfortably at this home. The property was clean, quiet, yet easily accessible to everything that we needed. The home was well equipped with household items. Dave was very accommodating and even stopped by to see if things were to our satisfaction. Loved it!

Too good to share ;)
We really enjoyed this property and have stayed at a few different homes in Kill Devil Hills over the last decade. There are updates not photographed yet, but it is obvious this property has been taken care of and the owner is easy to reach and helpful.

This place was amazing
The property was beautiful the house was spacious and well maintained and very comfortable. The peir was probably my favorite part it was so peaceful to sit and have my coffee or a drink and watch the sun set or the osprey fishing in the morning. Staying here made our vacation that much more enjoyable and we would definitely stay here again if we ever visit the area again. Also the host was very easy to work with

The Sound Crab was even better than expected! The pictures do not do this property justice. Our group of 4 adults had plenty of space to share. The neighborhood the house is located in is very quiet and there is a walking path from the house that connects to the Wright Brother’s museum. The private pier and gondola was great to fish from and enjoy the peace and quiet. We hadn’t even left yet and already started planning our next trip to stay at the Sound Crab again. The owner David was extremely helpful and responsive. Thank you so much for the memories!

Overall a very nice clean place to stay with a great location. Only issue we really had was all the stairs with my elderly mother and no security gates available for my 11 month old. Thanks for letting us stay at your beautiful home.

I will be back
David was so gracious to us. I brought my 86 year old parents for a short mini vacation. Our only regret was that we didn't have time for a few more days. We loved the area, the house, and everything. The sunsets from the back porch were splendid. I took so many pictures. I wanted to capture all the memories. Thank you Dave! Your house was one of the best we have ever stayed in.

The house was great! Cleaned and just as described! Had an issue with the power in one room not wanting to stay on. The maintenance guy and his wife came out right away to fix it and we had no other issues! Will definitely try to stay here again!

Great Place to Relax
We really enjoyed our stay at Sound Crab. It had all of the amenities we needed and more. The view was spectacular especially at sunset. We will definitely be coming back. The photo do not do the place justice. It is better than the photos.

Perfect
The house was located in a quiet neighborhood on the water. It was far enough from the main road to enjoythequiet, yet close enough to have easy access to everything. Sitting out on the deck and watching the sunrise and set everyday was the highlight of a peaceful stay.

Great place to relax
We had a wonderful time. The house is close to everything you need but secluded enough to feel like you are away from everything. We really enjoyed sitting on the back porch, overlooking the water while reading a good book. Would diffently go back again.

Fun get-a-way
We REALLY loved our time at the Sound Crab. The views and sunsets were amazing and we loved having our own personal dock. The property was pretty secluded and had plenty of decks and sitting areas to take in the views. I highly recommend bringing or renting kayaks, canoe or stand up paddle board and you have an incredible playground to enjoy on the water. We tried our hand at crabbing even but then didn't have the heart to cook them (maybe next time). The home was super comfortable (loved the couch and huge TV). We found the bed comfortable. The house was a bit dated with some things but it was clean and had a relaxing feel. I only rated 4 stars on cleanliness due to the gazebo area feeling it needed a good detail clean but we would not hesitate to rent this place again!

Perfect location on the OBX Sound
Our small family and grandkids really enjoyed our 4 day stay at the Crab Sound! Home is well stocked and clean. The dock was a highlight with crab pots waiting to catch blue crab for dinner. We enjoyed colorful sunsets each night from the top deck. The house is the 2nd to last on a dead-end street with a walkway that continues a short walk from the Wright Brothers memorial and close to other attractions. Dave's communication and suggestions were outstanding. If we return with 6 adults or less, we will definitely return!

We had a nice stay at the Sound Crab. The location is very convenient to the beach and all beach related activities. The property was very clean , provided ample space and has wonderful decks all in a very nice location in Kill Devil Hills. There were areas in terms of furnishings that we would recommend upgrading. All of the bed mattresses need to be replaced. Guests that slept in each of the beds expressed discomfort. The upstairs living area(facing the sound) require shades as the upstairs gets warm with direct sunlight. David was quick to respond to any questions we had at the start of our vacation. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

The house was very clean and well equipped. We had a wonderful stay with breath taking sunsets every night. My only comment for consideration is that the beds were not very comfortable, and I had to clean the gazebo up before we could enjoy it, but definitely a recommend.

Great place with awesome sunsets!
This place was exactly as promised - right on the sound with great views from the dock and the many decks. It was quiet with easy access to the walking/bike path. We rented kayaks (delivered to the house by the caretaker). We would absolutely stay here again!!

Fantastic property with amazing views
We arrived at the house a little early and were met by David and the house caretaker. But were very professional and attentive. The house exceded my expectations, the grounds were well maintained. The house was very clean inside. The views of the sunset were awesome! Our group was very pleased with our stay and will definitely recommend the house for anyone traveling to the northern outer banks area. Will rent again!!
