Great stay!

This home was perfect for our vacation. Very comfortable for our group of 7. Notable things are the spacious living and dining area and easy check in and out process. Its a short walk to the beach and a short drive to the grocery store. Would recommend for any larger groups, and would definitely stay here again my self.

Fantastic Getaway

We came here for my daughter’s Spring Break week from Virginia as a little family getaway before going to my sister-in-laws beach rental later in the week. I went in not expecting much from my last minute booking for this property. This home exceeded my expectations. The house itself is livaoi

Great House and Great Maintenance Response

We really enjoyed our stay. There were a few small issues day 1 that maintenance responded to immediately. They were quick and friendly. The house it's self had a good layout and decent bedding. The water was hot for the shower so that was great. Water pressure was decent. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all week.

Beautiful home in OBX perfect for large family

We loved having enough bedrooms and bathrooms for every one. We loved the collection of VHS/DVD’s available for when it rained and late nights. Really fun blasts from the past. We loved the big windows in the living room, the large deck, we loved having the fully stocked kitchen and large refrigerator, as well as long dining table to fit all 10 of us. This house gave everyone enough space to be able to have their own space, which is important with teenagers.

The house was within easy walking distance to the beach. My dog loved lounging in the sun on the deck, and the hot tub was great. Beds were comfortable. Certain areas of the home could have been cleaner on arrival. Overall a nice stay!
