Clean, Comfortable, and Great Location

I had a great stay here—everything was just as advertised. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and check-in was smooth and easy. The location was ideal—close to restaurants and walkable to downtown, but still quiet at night. The staff was friendly and responsive when we had a quick question about parking. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to others looking for a relaxing and convenient place to stay.

OBX Getaway

The property was nice and clean and the bed was super comfortable. It is close enough to the beaches to easily drive there in a couple of minutes and far enough away to avoid the inflated cost of rentals on the beach.

Nice cottage

Nice place for 2 people. Very clean, bed was comfortable, easy check in and out.Great location more or less centrally located for all the attractions. Close to restaurants and shopping. Quiet neighborhood. Host was very responsive. The only drawbacks were lack of kitchen supplies and linens. Only 2 threadbare towels provided 2 washcloths 2 hand towels. Bring your own towels if you stay here. Minimal amount of cooking supplies except for spices. Also only a 5 cup coffee maker.TV in living room has no volume control and if you mute it you have to turn off and on again to get it unmuted. I would stay here again.
