It was interesting at best. This was the area where houses were falling into the ocean due to Erin and a nor'easter. Definitely an different vacation than planned, but still good. The people in Buxton were friendly and helpful.

Great Vacation
The house was nice. A two minute walk to the beach was a bonus.
Great location, house was clean and well-appointed, beds were comfortable and it was an easy walk to the beach. We stayed Friday-Monday so it was hard finding a place during peak season that did not require seven day minimum stay. We will be back.

Zen Den stay
The location was great and the cottage was very comfortable and pretty well furnished. The kitchen could use more/better cooking utensils. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely ocean side home
We really enjoyed being able to walk to the beach which was uncrowded and lovely. The house had everything that we needed and we would definitely consider this home again if we came back to Buxton.

Great house. Wonderful views from large upper deck and screened porch with hammock was great. Will stay at this house again.
The booking process was seamless. The Property Management company called the day after check–in to confirm that we found everything in good working order.
The property is a few houses down from the beach with water views from the porch and the expansive raised patio.
Perfect for our family getaway!

Something for Everyone!
This house really does have the perfect layout for our family! There are so many different areas to hang out in that you can choose to be with others or by yourself, and it is lovely to have the ability to view the beach from the house!
Nice house and neighborhood. We love the area but the hurricane did cause alot of damage in the area and its sad. We had two feet of water on our street. The beach was unusable. We went to the point for all of our swimming and fishing and its only a 7 minute drive. All of the local businesses and restaurants and nice and friendly. Even with the issues we plan to return next year and hope they get the area cleaned up.
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the home and its amenities. We look forward to having you back again soon as repeat renters and we'll put in a word for ya ;) maybe we can get you some more fish
This was our favorite vacation yet! The property manager made the check-in/out process not only painless but enjoyable, and responses to questions or issues was prompt and friendly. What a wonderful and relaxing place to bring your family. There is something here for everyone, except the hustle and bustle of commercial vacationing - which is what we loved the most. We will definitely be back next year!

This house is great! There is something for everyone. It is a minute walk to the beach, or you can go on the top deck and see the waves OR you can sit in the hammock on the side porch OR cook a lovely meal in the kitchen OR even watch the TV. It allows us to have really nice family time but not be on top of each other like a hotel typically is. Truly enjoyed the location and the stay!
The house is in a great location and is very cute. It just needs some decor work. New couch, couch pillows, chair, and the kitchen cabinets were falling apart.

Love this house!
This is the second year we have stayed in this house and we love it! It fits our family/friends of 8 perfectly. We love the hammock, swing and top deck. TV in every bedroom is nice, washer/dryer and dishwasher is nice. Short walk to the beach and even Dillion’s Corner. We love Buxton and all the Outer Banks has to offer! Thanks 😊
