Great house..very well-equipped w/everything you'd have at home (wife says a rack to drain dishes and real cloth dish towels would have been nice, not those microfiber ones). Beds were comfortable and bedrooms roomy. Close to all the attractions and restaurants.Had a great time.

Great stay at the Outer Banks!

This was a great home for our family of five. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach, restaurants, and being in a central location in the outer banks which allowed exploring many attractions. Eating as a family on the porch and lounging in the swing were favorites for us all! We would definitely rent here again.

Another Perfect Getaway

We stayed at this property once several years ago and have always remembered it as one of our favorites. Schedules and timing allowed us to stay again this year and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. Great location, very clean and comfortable house, everything a family could want or need whatever the weather.

Wonderful week at the beach

We thoroughly enjoyed everything about this beach house! The proximity to the beach is great - 2 minutes maximum. The outside shower is perfect for getting all of the sand off before going in the house. The outside spaces are lovely. The house was very clean and well maintained. We look forward to staying again!

Great stay

The house is as described! Location is great. Short (1 block) and easy walk to beach was super convenient. Easy access to what Kill Devil, Nags Head and Kitty Hawk offer. House was comfortable, and is equipped with most of what you need. Communication with owner was prompt and straightforward. Really enjoyed our trip.

Sweet Cottage

We had a lovely time staying in this cottage! The weather wasn’t the best but there were a lot of games to play and so close to shopping and other activities. When it was nice enough to hit the beach, the cottage is so close!! It’s nicely decorated and the fact that it had EVERYTHING and linen service made packing a lot easier….

We loved this house! Very clean, had everything we needed, the updates were beautiful! Our kids were able to play on the newly laid sod without having to watch out for sand spurs. Right across the street from the beach and a delicious pizza place and in walking distance to a CVS. We had a great time and hope to book again at this house.

Great house

This house is such a wonderful place to stay in the outer banks. Dean, the owner, was extremely responsive to any and all communication I had with him. They recently completed backyard landscaping which is beautiful. A perfect place for my kids and their cousins to play in the evening in their bare feet. Beautiful grass and no sand or burrs. Location provides a quick walk to the beach and other local restaurants. Would recommend to anyone looking for a vacation rental in the outer banks.

Perfect Vacation House

This house was perfection!!! It was clean, comfortable, well setup, and in a great location. We walked 2 mins to the beach every day (we saw dolphins while at the beach 3 days in a row). Places to eat and ice cream are in walking distance. Nice quiet neighborhood. The decks were amazing, nice place to eat and relax. The outdoor shower was clean and super convenient with 3 kids. This was definitely one of our favorite vacations and it all centered around the perfect vacation house.

Quaint beach house in great location

This house was perfect for us. It was located in walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The communication with the host was on point. The house was, on the surface, clean but the decor pillows on the bed were stained as were the sheets. The coffee pot was filthy and the inside of the drawers were in need of a good cleaning. Loved the patio. We spent most of our time out there. Would def stay again.

October 2023, The Outer Banks

We liked what we saw on the VRBO site and were very happy when we saw our choice. Dean was quick to reply to our questions and on our arrival gave us a dining recommendation that was great. Location was perfect, we went north one day and south the other days. Everything in the home worked and we had no problems there. We had plenty of room for the 4 of us to have nice, comfortable space. Very close to see the sunrise. We could definitely rent this again.

Perfection!

We loved staying at this home for a full week. The pics don’t do it justice. The outdoor deck is basically a full extra living area. We spent most of waking hours out there. We had some unfortunate weather during our trip but were still able to be outside during the rain because of the deck. The beach is two houses away. House is stocked with everything you need.

Loved our mini vacation

The house met all of our needs and it was so hard to leave yesterday. The 2 minute walk to the beach is exactly correct. Also walkable to many restaurants and the all important CVS. What struck me as different from every other beach house is the cleanliness of the outdoor areas (decks, carport, outside shower, outside storage closet). There was not a single cobweb or spider web to be found. Complete comfort using the outdoor areas. I will definitely stay here again.

Great house in the perfect location!

We had a great stay! Everything was accurately described and checking in was a breeze. The owner is very responsive and really nice so that was very appreciated. Also, he did a nice job with the colors and decorations he chose, and it made you feel like you were at the beach. We loved the outdoor deck and enjoyed eating dinner outside. Also, my favorite spot on the deck was the swing! :). Another plus was the outdoor shower. It looked great and I truly enjoyed using it. All in all, it was the perfect beach getaway. I would stay here again!
