This house was perfect... incredibly clean, comfortable, great location for access to the beach and restaurants etc., and the turtle pond was great too. I've rented several other homes from vrbo.com and this one was - by far - the cleanest! The back yard is good sized for doggies and neighborhood is nice for walking down quiet streets. Hated to come back to reality!

Sparkling Clean and Very Comfortable! A Great Value!

We stayed here in mid-April and chose this location as a sort of mid-point by which we could take day trips to the outer reaches of the OBX. Our party consisted of my husband, me, our 10 year old son, and our dog. We were thrilled with all aspects of this cottage. It is probably the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in! Everything was in great working condition and well appointed. It was the perfect size for the 3 of us. The master bedroom was very nice and our son enjoyed having a TV in his room. The pond was an added bonus since we were able to see lots of birds and turtles. I even caught one turtle laying eggs in the yard early one morning. The beach was close enough to walk to. The cottage sits near a busy intersection, but has the added convenience of a grocery store right across the street. Since we were out and about almost every day, the traffic did not bother us. It was indeed the perfect location for making day trips. The cottage is in the middle of an area with a nearby local movie theater, several restaurants, mini-golf, etc. We would highly recommend Hurricane Mo's for the 10 cent shrimp! We were very impressed with our accommodations while at the Outer Banks and would highly recommend Parrot's Perch to anyone!

We just got home from our stay at this home and had an amazing time! There were 3 adults and 2 children (4 and 13) and there was plenty of room for us. Very close walk to the beach and right across the street from a Belk, Food Lion, and a Kangaroo gas station. Within walking distance of Kmart and the movie theater and the house had any and everything you could imagine. I was amazed at how clean the house was and our family was very comfortable there! The turtles came right up to the edge of the water and the kids loved it. Thank you Suzan for being so great to work with and we look forward to our trip there next year!

We enjoyed our stay at Parrot's Perch! Your cottage was perfect for the two of us and centrally located. The deck was perfect for sunning without walking to the beach.We will recommend this home to others. Liked the use of PayPal and hope other homeowners will begin to participate.

Parrot' Perch was a perfectly delightful home away from home. Equipped with everything we needed. Location is central to all OBX happenings. Enjoyed the deck for sunning without the sand. We definitely recommend this cottage.

Relaxing yet centrally located

This house was perfect for my husband and I as well as our dog. It is centrally located to all of the great restaurants and shops yet a quiet neighborhood. It was great to have everything on one level because my husband is disabled and finds climbing stairs difficult. I will definitely keep this house on our list for the next visit to the OBX.

Parrot's Perch is the best beach house anyone could ever stay. The first thing we noticed when we opened the doors was how clean it smelled, the carpets had just been cleaned and you could tell!!! This was my first trip to OBX and i'm very glad I found this house to stay at. I will definately be returning again, hoping to even make a trip in the Fall. Thanks so much Suzann for renting your house, as my family and I enjoyed it tremendously.

My husband, my dog and I stayed there in Oct - Nov 2010 and we were delighted with the house. It was just enough room for us to be very comfortable. It had all the comforts of home away from home. It was a short walk to the beach and we especially enjoyed the deck over looking the water. We fed the turtles and the fish. The owner was very friendly and accommondating. We look forward to our next opportunity to stay.

My wife and I spent 10 days here at Parrots Perch in October. Waht pleasent time we had. The owner was very easy to work wit and to our suprise when we walked through the door to fine a very clean and orderly cottage. I would recommend this cottage to and couple or a couple with small children. Teenagers would feel cramped here. The ownwe had supplied the cottage with towels, sheets beach towels and we found paper towels toliet paper soap and frabic softner for the washer and drier. When we walked out the kitchen door to the deck over the pond we were welcome by the welcoming committee we were greeted by 9 turtles all looking for something to eat. If you take small children stop at walmart and buy some turtle food they will have fun feeding them. Our only drawback was the high pedstel table for dinning. Other than that we would again rent this cottage for a stay.

Owner response:The table & stools the guest mentioned is a bar table & stools that work with the table. It is not a kitchen table. However, there are 4 nice sturdy TV tables that can be used right in the living area for children or adults that want to sit at a lower height. The table is shown in the pictures, (check them out). So folks know what they are getting before they rent. We have had many teens stay with their parents over the last 2 summers...but I do agree, the cottage is best suited for couples and parents with children 13 & under due to the bedding arrangements, also listed in the description. The turtles in the pond are great fun. They are always there in the evening under the deck waiting for a handout, they eat small portions of leftovers as well. Turtle food all though a good idea is not required. We do try keep some everyday household things at the house for convenience. Before you shop-check out what is already at the cottage, it may save you some money at the store.

Great Location!

Great house and wonderful location. It is wonderful to rent a home that is clean and well kept. I had rented from Suzan prior to my last visit 9/10 and the cleanliness of her rentals is one of the reasons I chose to rent from her again. The walk to the beach is a very short walk which is another plus. Being able to bring my dogs who love the beach is yet another plus with this rental. :) I would recommend this home to anyone. I wish the second bedroom had a double bed but I know the bunk beds are a plus for families with children. Feeding the turtles and watching the wildlife is fun even for adults.

Great Place for a Restful Vacation

My family and I stayed a A Parrot's Perch this past summer. The cottage was in immaculate condition, and was clean and tidy. This is now one of our favorite places to vacation and we will be back. Early mornings and evenings on the deck are a real pleasure watching the cranes roost and the turtles come begging for handouts. Our dog loved walking to and along the beach, this cottage is in an ideal position, within walking distance to grocery stores, the movies and a department store. Minutes to the beach and eateries.

We are regular vacation rental travelers. This home is now one of our favorite places we have stayed at. The home was spotless, well kept and all the amenities that you would need. Great A/C for keeping cool and relaxing inside after the sun. The deck overlooking the pond was great for feeding the turtles and working on your sun tan. We used the outside shower to cool off and rinse off after the beach. Everything is within walking distance, the beach, store, shopping, movie theater and restaurants. We had a great time and will definitely be back. Thanks Suzan.

We were impressed with everything about our week's stay (05/22/10 - 05/29/10) at Parrot's Perch. Suzan was great to deal with. The home was spotless and very well kept. The appliances were more than adequate. The deck overlooking the pond was great for getting sun most of the day. Once we had enough sun, the front porch was shaded and a nice place to relax. The beach is just a short walk as is the grocery store and the movie theater. This is a perfect place for a couple or small family to get away. My wife and I brought our small dog and she loved being on the deck watching the birds and turtles. Parrot's Perch was just the right size for us. We would definitely rent this property again! This was our first time using VRBO and we wouldn't hesitate using it again.

This was a wonderful house to stay in. We were impressed just driving up and walking around the outside. It has clearly been updated and is well taken care of. It was more than enough room for myself, my boyfriend and our 2 dogs. The walk to the beach is really quick. The house is centrally located to everything. Suzan is a pleasure to deal with. Thanks for everything!
