Will stay again!

Awesome stay for the week. Great location, dog friendly, great neighbors, very well stocked kitchen. We brought our boat. We had our own boat ramp and tie up. It made it so easy to go out and fish the sound. This will definitely be our go to property when visiting OBX for now on.

Good location

Everything was great and in a good location to town and to the beach. The dishwasher was broken and couldn’t be repaired or replaced while we were there. The kitchen was well stocked. Overall a great place and one that we would rent again

Buxton vacation

The only part of my vacation I didn't like was the noise the neighbors across the road would make all hours of the night. Family fueding in the day. Lots of yelling, horns blowing, and motors reving.
