Cute little place very close to the campground our friends stayed in. Perfect for two adults and two kids. Loved that it had the extra 1/2 bath. Excellent communication with our Host. Just what we needed for the week.
By far the best vacation home experience I’ve ever had. The host was very friendly, communicative and patient with all our questions. Will definitely come back next time I’m in town!

Hi Cody, thanks so much for the review! We’re glad Tranquil Tides met your expectations, and hope your family had a fantastic time in the Outer Banks! :-)
The house was super clean and had many necessities included such as a pack n play for our baby and a coffee machine for us tired parents! The hosts were quick to respond and the house was close to the beach and shops. We would highly consider staying here again for our yearly vacation down to OBX!
Tranquil Tides is a perfect place to stay! It has everything you need and communication with the host was very quick and efficient! Would definitely recommend and stay there again!

Hi Hana! Thanks so much! We’re so glad you had an enjoyable time! :-)
Heather and Kelly were great. We had a wonderful very relaxing stay. A lot of the attractions were closed for the month of January, but we visited the grounds of the lighthouses, took the ferry to Ocracoke, visited the Wright Brothers Memorial, and the beach.

House was very clean, well stocked, and the property owner was quick to answer any questions I had.
Located between bait shops, restaurants, the sound and the beach. Met every requirement we had, then some. Highly recommended

Thanks so much, James! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and that Tranquil Tides worked well for you!
We were on OBX with a large group of people and decided we'd prefer our own space for sleeping. Tranquil Tides was clean, the air was on when we arrived and it had everything we needed. We were only 2 miles from our friends house. It was perfect for our needs! Will definitely return!

Hi Tracey! Thank you so much! Glad you had a good time and that the house worked well for you! :-)
During our stay one of the guest locked us out of the property by accident. I sent a text to the owners and within minutes were given access to a lock box and able to regain entry into the property. Very accommodating host, we will be staying with them again.
