Fall Get-A-Way

My life-long BFF & I just took a Fall get-a-way to the Outer Banks and stayed in this home. It was like staying at a relative's house, but without them being there. (teeheehee) The house is warm, cozy, and stocked with the everyday supplies that anyone could possibly need. The house is in an EXCELLENT location, walking distance to the beach, a great restaurant (Goombays ... try the Jazzy Chicken .. your taste buds will explode), and all of the fun shopping on the island. There's a traffic light at the main intersection at First St., making getting in & out of the neighborhood easy & safe. Rather than one of the mega-mansions on the island, this house will give you an "authentic Outer Banks" experience. This is what going to OBX is supposed to be like. Beach Nostalgia at its best. Miller's (on the beach road) had a great breakfast too. There were only 2 of us girls, so we each had our own queen sized bed (& bathroom) to ourselves, but the house could sleep up to 8 if you needed. It was post-season, so we didn't take advantage of many of the "extras" that are provided by the owners. But I would recommend this cottage to anyone, during any season.

Adorable Home, Perfect Location

We were fortunate to find this charming home on VRBO for a last-minute trip to the Outer Banks. I refer to it as a "home" not a "rental unit" because it is obviously well-loved and well-maintained by the Hockman family, and has all of the comforts of a real home. It is located a block away from the beach access, a quick 5 minute walk. We had everything we needed, from beach wagon, toys, bikes, video/games, etc. Although we had to leave a day early due to Hurricane Earl bearing down (mandatory evacuation), Lisa made good on her policy and refunded that portion of our payment with no questions asked. If you are looking for a "home away from home" in the Outer Banks, you can't go wrong with Dragonfly Dunes!

Dragonfly Dunes was just what the doctor ordered. Great location, easy access to the beach. It's very charming and cleaner than an operating room. Perfect for my family of four.

Comment Text: Beautiful cottage. My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary and it was just what we wanted. Close to the beach and restaurants. Couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Hockmans. We had a wonderful time. -The Cashmans

We came for the 100th anniversary of the Wright Flight. We went to the park on Tuesday the 16th of December. The weather was ideal; sunny and a nice breeze. Unfortunately, on the 17th (the anniversary) the weather was rainy and cold. Instead of standing in the rain, we watched the festivities from the house. All the planes flew right overhead! We couldn't have picked a better house. Your home is the perfect size for our family. Thank you for the great stay.
