Family-friendly home. My family had a great experience at Laughing Gull! The house is beautiful, clean and well furnished...had just what we needed to unwind and relax with a family of 6 and one dog. Amber was a very responsive host which was a plus. The hot tub was clean and enjoyable. Added bonus: the pool table, foose ball and arcade gaves us plenty of entertainment aroundthe house. We would definitely stay here again in the future. Thanks Amber

The stay at Dancing Gull was exactly what our family needed: restful, relaxing, and fun. Dancing Gull was so clean and the living space was open so we could connect with one another when we weren't at the beach. The outdoor shower, hot tub, and ample games were great ways to wind down after a long day in the sun and ocean.As far and checking in and out, everything about the process was just easy and delightful. Amber is a wonderful and communicative host. We look forward to coming back again!

Our 3rd time staying at this property. Amber (the host) is helpful and responds quickly if you have questions. Between the bikes, pool table, foosball table, arcade game and hot tub there is always entertainment. It's well appointed and comfortable. The walk to the beach is about 5-8 minutes depending on how fast you want to get there. There's a Dollar General right down the street for more sunscreen and soda and Food Lion about 15 minutes away if you need more substantial stuff. Fill your gas tank in Nags Head or Manteo before you head to Waves. It was significantly cheaper.

Perfect layout and location

Our stay was nothing but amazing. Amber was extremely responsive and communicative host during our stay. The layout of her home was perfect for our family and we were able to create some great memories this year. The huge dining table made mealtime perfect where we also had some great laughs as well! The location of the home is perfect, we walked to the beach using Amber’s directions and we drove to the sound when we needed quieter days. Would definitely recommend staying when visiting the area.

Would stay again!

We loved our stay! Amber was great when communicating with us , she was super on top of things, and everything in the house was accurate with the listing. If you’re looking for a quiet, beach focused vacation and don’t mind a short walk to the beach then this property is perfect. It was easy to carry our beach gear up to the access point, though the dune is a bit steep (not the house’s fault) and the house was well stocked for preparing our meals when we didn’t want to eat out. We also loved the HUGE variety of games in the house. Thanks for a great stay!

Great week at a clean and well-equipped home!

We enjoyed our week at the Dancing Gull! The house was spacious enough for everyone to lounge, cook, etc. and the kitchen was well-equipped. The 2 large balcony-facing bedrooms were very roomy! The neighborhood was quiet and had plenty of friendly neighbors. Walk to the beach (about 10 minutes) made us grateful for our off-road beach cart with balloon tires due to tree roots and tricky terrain along the way. The outdoor shower was roomy and relaxing.

Walk to beach in under 10 minutes

The house was spacious and had lots of amenities such as pool table, hammock, fooz ball and games for kids. Nice wrap around deck. Best thing for me was walking to a beautiful beach in less than 10 minutes. Beach was not at all crowded even on July 4th weekend. You walk back to house for lunch and take a break from sun and walk right back when you want.

Able to bike to ice cream shops and restaurants nearby! The house is stocked with everything you need to enjoy a nice relaxing week away!

Dancing Gull

Really enjoyed our time. There wasn’t a lot of places opened close around for food or for young kids to do but only 30 to 45 minutes to Nags Head & Kiddy Hawk. Friendly people around & the sound side was great for the little ones. Hot tub was great! All bedrooms are on 2nd. floor so if anyone gets up early you hear them. All in all it was a nice place to stay.

Lora so glad you enjoyed your stay at Dancing Gull. Waves is a very laid back little beach town, but we do have some really good hidden gems when it comes to restaurants. My family’s favs are listed in the house. Yes my bedrooms are all on one floor, considering my 3rd floor layout, I’m not sure where else I would put them!😆

First OBX vacation

This house is in a quiet, not overpopulated area of OBX. It’s great when you really want to get away. Although there were a few minor issues, the house was nice and the locals were nice. Especially the neighborhood cats! Walk to the beach. Beautiful sunsets! Not negative, however if you have tall/larger people in your family, the one shower is a little snug.

Wonderful Beach Week

Our end of summer stay at the Dancing Gull was such a treat! Our family of 5 plus one set of grandparents were very comfortable with the rooms and overall setup. The lighting upstairs is wonderful, and the open setup was great, because the whole family could hang out while making dinner, playing pool, watching tv or doing their own thing while still together. The hot tub was really nice and the overall location was good too, just a short drive to the beach access and shops. The beach access trail was neat for the kids as well, since they could head up there on their own. Amber was very responsive and friendly. Thank you!

Relaxing trip

Overall it was a nice house. It had a ton of activities to do while it rained or while escaping the heat i.e pool table, bikes, darts, and games. The walk to the beach was easy but the sand dune to get onto the beach was very steep and made it difficult if you were to have any type of breathing issues or even to much gear. Its a good location if you plan on staying on the beach majority of the time because it takes about 35-45 min to get closer to touristy spots and restaurants. The beds were comfortable. The hot tub worked great, but the mosquitoes were thirsty this past week!

A great week to kick off our summer!

We had a great week at the Dancing Gull! From the layout of the house to how fully stocked it was with all the essentials, we couldn’t ask for more. Being able to bring our dogs with us was amazing and we felt they had a great vacation along with us. The house is super clean and any minor things that came up, the owner was very attentive to communication. A short walk to the beach was great (our kids are a bit older so they liked the freedom to come and go), the beach supplies, bikes, etc. We could not have asked for a better relaxing beach vacation. I’m usually ready to head home by day 5 from a vacation but could have stayed another week! 😊

About the host

Hosted by Amber

Host profile image
Every year the routine was the same: Pack the car the night before. Wake up before the sun to fill the ice chest and cram, what seemed like, the entire contents of the kitchen cabinets into any spare spots. Get on the road with your breakfast of soda and a pack of nabs tucked into your cup holder. The drive was always long, but that made the arrival all the more exciting. My dad took us on these beach trips every year. As a small child I enjoyed my time on the beach, frolicking in the sand and surf without a care in the world. To me "the beach" was any beach, but that all changed after one visit to the Outer Banks. This "beach" is so much more. When you visit you feel a connection that is hard to describe. That connection brought me back to the banks for my wedding atop Jockeys Ridge in 2007. My father was there to walk me up the dune. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease a short time later at the age of 55. It was devastating but my dad pledged to make as many memories as he could with his time. We took many more beach trips in these last 10 years. Owning a beach house was an impossible dream for my father. I loved the idea of a beach home but thought that was always a "someday" purchase. As my dad's disease slowly stole his personality, his humor, and his memories I realized not everyone is guaranteed a "someday". So we have taken the leap and purchased this property with the hope that we can provide our children with the kind of memories my dad left for me. RIP Daddy. We love you, always.

I hope that you enjoy your vacation to the Outer banks. I hope you have good weather, a cool breeze, and beautiful sunsets. But most of all I hope you make memories with your family and enjoy the time you have together!
