We loved the location since we were there for my daughter’s wedding and we needed to run errands. We had a hiccup at check in beyond the host’s control and she listened and made it right! The kitchen was well laid out and perfect for our niece to finish decorating the cookies. The crow’s nest was nice as were the sliding glass doors from the bedrooms to the covered deck. It was a whirlwind weekend but we were happy with our accommodations!

We were very impressed with the kitchen equipment, they had everything you would need. We had to clean the grill before we used it but it was great to have a grill even if it was charcoal! The place was better than the pictures in my opinion, brighter and airier. Very clean, need to provide your own towels and we forgot a bath mat which would have been useful. There was a cloth shower curtain in one bathroom which was the only thing that looked a little dirty. Overall a great stay and we would definitely recommend to friends.

The Cape was one of the best VRBO vacations we have had. The house is spotless and well appointed. Its location is ideal, only a short walk to the beach or a short drive to the grocery store. We hope to return next summer!

Why they chose this property

We have each been visiting the Outer Banks since we were children and are so excited to finally have our own little piece of paradise. We look forward to sharing our home with our guests.
After looking at many homes in the area, we were delighted to find this one. The previous owners had made renovations that really made it stand out.
