Super nice

Beautiful place. Great views from porch in back. House was fully stocked with stuff from baby gates to stuff for the beach. We had a wonderful time. Kids loved the pool. Only down fall was the ticks but u are in a wooded area so that is to be expected. Had a water issue mid week however host was super kind and fast at getting it taken care and paid for our dinner that night out. Would definitely stay here again.

Second Nature is a very nice place!

Second Nature is a well located, very nice cottage. Our time there was relaxing. The pool is very private and everything about the home met all our needs for a great vacation. My wife and I highly recommend a stay at Second Nature!

2 week southern shores

Great location and amenities. House could use a little TLC with some simple things like cracked toilet seats, and loose pool table felt. Host was wonderful-available and attentive with questions and concerns. We enjoyed seeing the local wildlife near the canal every morning. Check in and out were super convenient.

Amazing stay at the OBX

We have a great time staying at Second Nature. We loved the pool table and kayaking on the canal behind the house. The house was perfect for our family of 8. We also loved the swimming pool and proximity to the beach. We would love to stay here again in the future if we can make our way back to the OBX. We enjoyed trips to Wright Bros Memorial, Jockey's Ridge, Fishing and activities on Roanoke Island, visiting and climbing the lighthouses and hanging out at the beach.

Husband/wife year OBX vacation with Dog

Our stay was absolutely wonderful and relaxing! The community of Duck offers so much as far as shopping and dining. Second Nature was the best part! We spent so much time cooking and enjoying the homes other amenities: pool table, porch swings, grill, and swimming pool! The location to the beach access and parking was also a great addition; we took daily trips to the beach with our dog! We are excited to come back in the future!

Great location, very relaxing

The house is at a great location, close to the beach and halfway between Duck and Kitty Hawk, so with great access to restaurants, shopping, and activities. The screened-in porch is also great. We were comfortable in the house, which was very quiet and peaceful—a relaxing getaway for our whole family and our dog. The owner was very responsive. One tip: bring your own paper products.

Perfect location

We really enjoyed staying here. The porch swing was a hit. My grandson loves fishing in the canal. It's the best of both worlds. Shade and sound in back and beach in front. It was nice being at the beach in the daytime and having the pool in the shade in the evening. The only negative thing is that there was poison ivy/oak around the house and pool and we did come home with some :( Other than that we had a blast.

The house was great.

The grass definitely needed cut. We couldn’t use the kayaks because the water was so low and the bugs were bad. Also, the walk down that steep hill was difficult for us old people.

Great Holiday Retreat!

The property accommodated our family of 6, including 2 grandsons plus one small dog. The house is located in a very pleasant section of Sea Oats development, with easy access to the beach, tennis courts and basketball court. The roads were fairly empty, providing many good routes for bicycling. The house was spacious, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone in our family. All on all, we were very comfortable staying at Second Nature.

Loved our time, as expected

Everything about the home was as the listing said. Very comfortable home that we immediately settled into. Nicely appointed kitchen and other parts of the home left us wanting for nothing. The couple of small issues that came up were resolved Immediately. Great home, great location and great home experience for our long term stay. You’ll love it too!!

A lovely week at 'Second Nature'

We just finished a wonderful week at 'Second Nature'. The house was stocked with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and we loved the natural surroundings of the house. We have rented a home in the Outer Banks six times in past few years and this is now our favorit. The natural surroundings, the crow's nest for viewing the stars and sunset, the option to kayak or canoe, the downstairs pool table/game room and the wonderful screened in deck with swinging bed proved a delight to all. Thank you for a wonderful week! We highly recommend 'Second Nature'.

Second Nature is Second to None

The home does need some TLC but… The neighborhood is quiet. The home is well furnished. The wildlife is abundant. The deer are beautiful to watch. The route to the beach allows for walking, biking, or driving complete with a stop light to get you across 12. Not feeling the beach? The pool was great to have. Centrally located between Duck and Kitty Hawk with all the accompanying shopping, eating, and playing. We lacked for nothing. Property manager/owner was great to work with. Can’t recommend this home enough.

Wonderful vacation, great house

Remote missing in main bedroom, I downloaded Roku app to work it but didn't figure that out until the last night.. other family members wished there was TV's in their room. two did not have tv's refrigerator shelves need attention. It is very loose and I did break a jar of mine. I mainly mention this for the owner but what a wonderful place. Had plenty of room and had a really great time. Pool was great just a little cloudy water at the early part of the week but was attended to early on by the pool person and cleared up mid week. Kitchen has EVERYTHING you need.

Beautiful Private Location

6 adults, good distribution of King and Queen bedding. TV setup has to be seen to be believed, pool table in good condition with a couple felt separations. On the downside: both the chairs and umbrellas need to be sorted and replaced as needed. The pool toys and floats are in a heap, but the pool was perfect except for some algae issues. The paddle boat was flooded and essentially unusable. That said, we only spent a small portion of our time at the residence. It is centrally located sojudt everything is just a short drive away.

Nice comfortable place in a natural setting

It's a great place in a natural setting at the beach with a wilderness feel. The best of both worlds! The beach is a short drive down the road, but you can come back to trees, and shade, and listen to the birds and squirrels on the screened-in porch while relaxing on the bed swing, after spending the day at the beach. The owner was very responsive, and the place had everything we needed. In 15 years of going to the Outer Banks, this is the best-equipped rental we have ever rented....hands down. And it was a welcome treat to have a gas stove to cook on, so much better than electric, and plus, we didn't have that same old issue of reflective plates on an electric stove that the rental companies can never seem to get the right size of. The weather was a bit unseasonably chilly our week so we never got in the pool, but it was in such a nice setting as well. If you are looking for a place near the beach that doesn't have that same old sandy feel, where you can go to the beach and come back and relax in a nature-type setting, this is your place. I highly recommend it.

Property would benefit from a better management

The house is in great location and it looks like it was once was in superb shape. These days there are many little things that need to be addressed. The owner is probably not visiting property as the needed repairs would be apparent for anyone who lives in the property for more that a day. Also be prepared that you need to bring all the necessities: bath towels, beach towels, kitchen towels, kitchen cloths, paper towels, bathroom tissue, kleenex, dishwasher soap, hands soap, dishwasher detergent, rinse aide, GARBAGE BAGS. The house has no leftovers from the previous visitors like you'd use to expect. Don't even think of finding teas, coffees, sugars, oils, etc. You'd need to buy everything yourself. It seems like the management takes everything away. Also, please read the fine print in the instructions that you'll see 3 days prior your visit. You'd need to bring your own sheets among other things. Other included amenities like beach chairs, or pool table are in rough shape. One of the two beach umbrellas is broken, the other one is almost there as well. We didn't even think of looking at the kayaks as life jackets were all piled up outside and did not look attractive.
