We had a lovely stay on Valentine’s weekend. The house was very warm and cozy, with lots of fun area art and lots of books! The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were very comfortable.My husband and I had been very busy so this was a chance to slow down and enjoy all the wonderful nature experiences this area has. We enjoyed Swann Beach, the Duck boardwalk and many other. We had been to the area many times but had never experienced it with snow. It made our photographs breathtaking and our weekend was absolutely perfect! Would rent again in a heartbeat.

The pictures listed for the property were an accurate description of what to expect. The house is welcoming, clean, and cozy. If you are looking for a place were you can walk out to the beach from your backdoor, this is the place. We woke up each morning to watch the sunrise and saw spectacular views. The house is within walking distance (less than 1 mile) to Duck where there were many food and shopping options. Bud and Janice were wonderful hosts. Their communication was swift and extremely helpful. We will definitely be back!
