We had a wonderful stay at this beach house — it had everything we needed, including a well-stocked kitchen. The pool and hot tub were fantastic, and the new outdoor seating area was a great addition. The host communicated smoothly and answered all our questions promptly.A couple of things could use attention: the house wasn’t as clean as we’d hoped at check-in, with some dog hair and sand still on the floors. The mattresses were also a letdown — the one in the master bedroom felt old and worn and could use replacing, while the mattresses in the other rooms were quite firm.Overall, a great location with a lot to offer, though the cleaning and mattresses have room for improvement.

We had a great stay! The only negative thing I have to say is their oven was not cleaned from previous people. There were pans in the bottom of it- dirty and it had quite the odor coming from it. We just ended up avoiding the oven but other than that it was great!! One thing to note is don’t walk barefoot outside there are little pricklys!!!

Quaint house in a great location!

This house was so quaint and in a perfect location. From what I have read this house is under new owners and I can not wait to see what they do with it! The location and the pool make this the perfect hidden gem! Loved bringing the pup too!

Outer banks family trip

House was perfect for what we needed it for. It was clean and the pool and hot tub were amazing. The only downside was the closeness of the back neighbors and the walk to the beach(last part seems outer banks thing). We would go back!

We felt very much at home! The pool and hot tub were much appreciated. The home was well equipped and clean. The hostess was very informative, easy to reach, and quick to respond. We enjoyed the deck for our morning coffee. The kids enjoyed the built in porch area and utilized it for a playroom. Very satisfied!

Great place for the price

This property was amazing. The only issue was the pool wasn't clean. The water was dirty and we wasn't able to use it. But overall it was a good place to stay. I would book again.

Hi Tammy, , thanks for the nice review. The pool was not open yet. That’s why it wasn’t cleaned. We didn’t just leave a dirty pool. They’re in the process of opening it but it takes a little while. Sorry for the confusion!
