Wonderful!

The Hattie Creef house was perfect for our vacation. The set up worked great for our family, there was plenty of space for us to be together and be apart! Very well stocked with paper goods, soaps, towels, etc... The location was exactly where we wanted to be. Beach, fishing pier, restaurants and bars all within walking distance. We wish we could have stayed longer! :-)

Amazing stay in OBX

This was our second year in OBX, and first time renting this house. The pictures do not do justice! It was the perfect house for our family vacation. Plenty of space for the four of us, and plenty of family time spaces as well. You can’t find a bad view from any of the many decks. The short walk to the beach and Avalon pier was a huge plus, and made for a great time. We highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a great stay in OBX.

Encore Visit Just As Nice

This was our second visit in as many years; we returned because we had such a great experience the summer of 2023. The property is in good location to the beach and area quiet as beach neighborhoods go. The property is beautiful and well stocked. Owner is super responsive and keeps you updated on rental regularly. We really enjoyed the outdoor grill and cornhole boards which made for a great family time. There are stores close by for any needs, Target within walking distance. The only drawback to consider is the number of stairs in the home should anyone have difficulty managing stairs. We had a fabulous time!

Beautiful Home!

Hattie Creef is a beautifully decorated beach house. Check in was smooth and the house was immaculate. Beach is a short walk down the street and the Avalon pier is right there as well. Henry is wonderful and communicates well with regards to the house and your stay. Will definitely consider going back in the future!

Happiness

Hattie Creef is what vacation should be. A place to relax, forget about real life, and just enjoy time with family. Henry is attentive, responsive, and keeps the house in immaculate condition allowing for a stress free stay. We’ve been coming here for 3 years and never had an issue. Life is good when you stay at Hattie and you’ll be sad the day you have to leave.

Beautiful house and great location

Perfect house for our family of 4 with plenty of space and great decks to enjoy relaxing on when not at the beach or exploring the area. Super clean, great views of the ocean, and a very short convenient walk to the beach. House is also close to pretty much anything you could need or want to do in the area. Henry was excellent with communication. Checkin and checkout were a breeze.

relaxing vaca

I am. a vacation rental snob and I gave this place 5 stars. The house was clean, updated, beautifully decorated, beds were comfortable, plenty of linens and well stocked kitchen. It was a very short walk to the beach and close to a pier with live music several nights a week .Excellent restaurants nearby. Overall a great place to stay. We had a great time. Love the decks for drinking our coffee in the mornings. The garage room was a perfect hangout for our 2 teenagers. Only improvements for us would have been twin beds instead of bunks for 6 ft .boys.

You know it was a wonderful vacation when the kids get home and say they miss the vacation home. The house was in pristine condition and very comfortable. It was easy access to the beach and the parking pass was helpful when we didn’t want to walk. Great communication with the owner. We all had an enjoyable time!

Wonderful Family Getaway

We brought our daughter,son-in-law, and 2 grandchildren under age 2 for a family vacation and had a marvelous time. The weather was perfect and the home was spacious, clean, and well stocked with pretty much anything needed. I would highly recommend this home and was pleased with the quick responsiveness in all of my email and text correspondences. My only recommendation would be for families bringing toddlers that a gate may be helpful in keeping the little ones in the family area and not trying to go down the steps...overall though the we were very comfortable and that was a minor detail. A+ week at the beach!

See the ocean and walk to the beach!

Our family of 4 had an excellent stay at Hattie Creef! The rental worked perfectly for us. Places to hang on every level with options if rain or shine. Nice view of the ocean from the widows peak. Fully stocked with amenities. Very clean! Perfectly decorated. Easy walk to the beach, which was never crowded. Avalon Pier at the end of the road for fishing, entertainment, food or drinks. Great restaurant (Awful Arthur’s) for eat in or take out near by, too. Great location for day trips in either direction. Owners were very responsive and easy to communicate with. We hope to come back!

First time to OBX and this house made me and my family already discuss a return trip ..... easy walk to beach, beautiful house full of cool plants and light up palm trees --- the roof deck was peaceful and serene for sunrise and sunset, and the outdoor shower was a nice touch ..... wouldn't change a thing.

This house is the chill spot!

We loved staying here! It was very easy for us to hang out outside the whole week because of the “outdoor living room”. The house itself was immaculate and the living room/kitchen was open and bright. Several decks to choose from with incredible views and the location was perfect. Loved being able to walk to Avalon pier. One of our favorite stays in the OBX!
