  We had the best time at this beautiful home! It was the perfect getaway for a ladies weekend. The ladies loved that each bedroom had it's own bathroom as well. The views were beautiful and the house was well cared for. The weekend came to an end far to fast. We will defintely visit again next year. The owner was also very helpful/friendly with all of our questions and very accommodating. We also enjoyed some of the places that were on the welcome letter, especially meeting some of the locals at Buzzy's store. Thanks for a great trip!!!

  We had a wonderful family Christmas at Summerlee. For my husband and I, it was a second visit. For the others it was their first. We had spoken so highly of the beach home and it certainly lived up to the high standard previously set. It had everything needed for a relaxing, family visit. There was even a set of Mexican Train Dominoes! The fireplace was delightful and the logs stacked up were wonderful! We would like to return in the Spring of Fall to enjoy the sunroom. Thanks for a memorable stay.

  We enjoyed another wonderful stay at the Summerlee over the Thanksgiving holiday. The house is perfect, great layout, and everyone had their own private bath. The view from the dining area is breath taking, watching the sunrise over the water is beautiful. Our family enjoyed games in front of the fireplace, walks on the beach in search of treasures and even used the kayak’s to explore the pond. The majestic Eagles were spotted several times during our stay. Can’t say enough great things about our stay, hope to return soon!

  Once we arrived at Summerlee we didn't want to leave! To sight-see, to shop, to eat out anything! We had everything we need to have an incredible weekend to celebrate a very special birthday. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The towels and linens were well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. All very neat and tiddy.! There were bikes and kayaks. A especially helpful property manager. And, an awesome beach area for doing absolutely nothing!. Thank you for a very great place to stay! We hope to be back for a longer stay very soon!

  Obviously the dilemma here is to say how wonderful this house is without making it difficult to book for future vacations because it will just continue to grow in popularity. But we have to be honest and say that this place is amazing. We rented both the house (three nights) and cottage (one of those nights). The owner has done an amazing job of creating a great vibe in the open main room with beautiful, eclectic design touches and a spacious kitchen – an ideal combination of comfort and a top notch aesthetic. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and are a great mix of comfort and design- which isn’t necessarily common in beach rentals that treat bedrooms as they're often the least important rooms of the house. And then there were thoughtful touches, like the bikes (bike helmet in the closet), the beach toys, kayaks, high-end kitchen equipment, to-do guides for the area, and Bob – the property manager who was friendly and always answered the phone when we called with random questions. And then there’s the beach. Gorgeous and right outside the door. Couldn't ask for much more...except a few more days to stay...

  Words cannot describe the feeling you experience when you walk into this beautifully furnished, light and airy home. It is hard to understand that someone would actually rent out such a gorgeous home. We had all sorts of plans to wander into town, and dine at the great restaurants we had access to. We never, ever wanted to leave this house. We swam every day, and never saw another person on the beach the entire time we were in the water. Other than a handful of people who walked the stretch of the beach in search of shells or peace and quiet this place is very private. We cooked at home, got some live crabs (for a steal), steamed them with corn and potatoes and had our own little feast on the screened in patio with the million dollar view. I usually sleep late on vacation but got up every morning to enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sounds of the surf. The sunsets were just as amazing. I took so many pictures of the house and property and everyone back home asks the same question...."Why would someone rent out such a beautiful home with so many antiques and fine furnishings?" We are just thankful they did. Within a short walk you can catch fish (With a net), hard crabs and huge softcrabs. The splendours of the Chesapeake Bay are all within reach of totally unexperienced crabbers and fishing enthusiasts. The locals are friendly and helpful. I would recommend this home and this area to anyone from 8 - 80! It has something for everyone.

  This home was made for a multi-family beach vacation. Each (nicely appointed) bedroom has its own good-sized bathroom and is sufficiently segregated from the others to still provide some privacy. The open concept great room/kitchen has four separate seating areas that encourage family interaction and fun. Kitchen is modern, has plenty of space to cook in, and contains all the necessary spices, cooking utensils, and dishes. The relaxing and comfortable linai with a beautiful view of the ocean doubled as the adult disco at night and the perfect out-of-the-sun play area for the kids during the day. We had an absolute blast just hanging out at the house and enjoying the private beach. Although there were wineries and a state park nearby, we had no need to leave the house! Many thanks to Peggy for accommodating our group.

  We had a small family vacation.The house was spectacular. We have never rented a house with so many amenities, including rentals in the Outer Banks. The location was perfect since we keep our boat at a nearby marina.We definitely will be back next year and will be looking for two rentals.

  Such a beautiful spot and very comfortable house with great touches. We went for a family vacation and to celebrate our daughter's 3rd birthday and we had a fantastic time. The locals are so friendly and the park (bike ride away) is amazing! Thanks Peggy, for such a wonderful home.

  This vacation rental was even better than we thought it would be. The house is nicely decorated, the floorplan is perfect for multiple groups (grandparents, single person, mom and dad with small children), and all the little details (like an LL Bean beach shelter, crabbing nets, beach toys, kayaks, etc) were the icing on the cake. We stayed for a week and had such a wonderful time, we want to make it an annual trip.
