We had a fantastic stay — close proximity to so many restaurants and shopping, a short walk to a beach access, had everything we needed, and the hosts were very friendly and responsive.
The place was very clean upon our arrival. The hot tub was great, and the place was very pet friendly. Great location for beach access, restaurants, and for walking the dog.
Needs a little TLC, new cookware, etc but was everything we needed for a week’s stay. We were two couples, two teens & a dog. Neighborhood is nice & walkable too. The hot tub was enjoyed often.
The house was immaculate, and JT and Buffy provided everything we needed for a great stay! We lost power briefly because of a storm, and I contacted Buffy. She called me back within a few minutes, reported the outage and reassured me that restoration of services would be efficient, which it was. The beach was beautiful and easy to access, the binder of information she provided was very thorough and accurate, and the space was everything me, my husband, 3 adult children, and my yellow Lab needed for a wonderful time. Would definitely stay there again.
Very comfortable home, we had every amenity we needed. The beach was an easy walk, although our visit was in Winter, so we made good use of the hot tub. Lots of outdoor deck space. Walking distance to several restaurants. Very dog friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Comfortable, clean & spacious home for our family of 5. Walkable to public beach access and restaurants. The hot tub was a major hit on a chilly winters day! Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals! A wonderful getaway to celebrate the new year!
Location was great. The hot tub was a wonderful addition to the experience. Host was helpful and friendly. The location is pretty much central to most of the attractions of the OBX experience. A great place to relax from the stressful rat race we call working for a living. Thanks!!
Great location. Everything you need is provided at the house.
