The house was beautiful and right on the beach. There was plenty of room for everyone. Plenty of parking available. Wonderful views from every window in the main living area. Lots of balcony space and chairs. We all had enough space and the beach itself was never crowded. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful views out of practically every room and plenty spacious. We enjoyed the large kitchen that opened to the living area - made it so easy to cook and enjoy our time. The balconies overlooking the ocean were perfect and the outdoor furniture was great. The only thing I’d say is one of the skylights was gone so it was covered with a tarp (and we had a hard rain) and one of the bathrooms the ceiling was cut out so you could see into the ceiling with the piping. We opted to not use that room. We would stay here again.

Fantastic property for 6 couples on Adult Retreat in Nag's Head

Beautiful, well-maintained 6 bdrm/ 6 ba house right on the beach. Large, wide decks on 2nd & 3rd levels overlooking the ocean. Dawn (owner) was a pleasure to work with (Thanks Dawn!). The hot tub was OOC during our stay, but it didn't affect our plans.

Fantastic Stay would Recommend

This was one our top vacations ever. This house is right on the beach, no dune to cross, no road, RIGHT ON THE BEACH. We say ocean life everyday including a whale at one point! Great location only minutes from fast food, better restaurants, Food Lion, mini golf, and more more more. Without hesitations I would recommend this house. We went each of the last two years and stayed here and if ever in OBX again we will try to stay there again.

Beautiful Home Best Ever Location

We had a wonderful vacation in this amazing location. The beach was beautiful, the house layout was great. Plenty of space, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen with decks overlooking and close to the water. The hot tub was fantastic at the end of a beach day or just anytime. The panoramic view from the living area could not have been better. The only not perfect part was just a few minor issues - sand in one bed, coffee maker not so clean. Overall I would highly recommend this house.

The house and location are perfect. We were a little disappointed with the lack of a few basic items like extra blankets, throw blankets, coffee filters, trash bags, cooking oil and basic spices like salt, pepper, etc. Those few extras would have made the place much cozier.
