We had our total family of 14 that stayed here for a week and everyone had a great time. The house was clean, very roomy and plenty of amenities for all of us.
The host Craig was amazing. He was very communicative and was very accommodating. The stay was wonderful everyone enjoyed the house would 100% recommend.
Great home to stay at. Close to everything and the pool is a huge bonus.

Thank you and your family for coming back for a summer time visit - and for the lovely review. We are happy you enjoyed the pool this time, as you already got to know the charm of our unique neighborhood, and distinct home.
We had a wonderful vacation at OBX North Carolina. The house was in a perfect location to the beach. We enjoyed every morning watching the sunrise on shore and afternoons at the pool. Thank you for sharing your house with us.
We enjoyed our stay at your vacation home! It was the perfect size for our family! You were easily accessible by text, and quickly responded! I would highly recommend your place to anyone!
The house was well equipped and comfortable. The hosts were easy to reach and responded quickly regarding any questions we had. We hope to go back next year!
This property is amazing!! My family and I had a wonderful stay here. Craig was quick to respond when I had a question. The house was exactly as described, clean and spacious. The pool and hot tub were a popular place to hang out. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
This is a great property for a family. Plenty of room to spread out. The teenagers especially like the third floor all to themselves. The pool was so refreshing and we enjoyed it every evening. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you would need to cook for a crew. It is a three minute drive to the beach where we easily found parking every day on Luke Street. There is a lifeguard right at the Luke Street beach access and porta potties there too. The owners were super communicative and helpful. We hope to return!

We too are big fans of the Luke Street beach access also. The Eckner Street is SO convenient and also has great 'amenities' if commercial/retail options are preferred, but Luke Street is more our jam too. The "color" options with our pool lights make for an elevated evening experience, and so we were glad to hear your family enjoyed the pool area around the clock as we do.
Thank you so much for the compliment. We have a unique home and neighborhood and were glad you could stay with us. Late August is indeed a wonderful time to come to such a wonderful place.
Craig and Judy were great hosts and very responsive! They communicated well before our stay, during our stay and even afterwards. The house was perfect for the families we had and our kids. Everyone had a great time and it was in a great location! Definitely will stay here again if we go back to visit the outer banks!

Thank you ! We would love to have you return. Location, location, location -- we TOO love our location. Far enough from beach to be safe in times of stormy weather, yet close enough for a quick bike ride, or daily stroll. In the summer time, that "coastal woods" we live in creates a nice shady and cool escape from the hot sand and hard surfaces. Let us know if you wish to find a window available for a return visit which we will discount -- as calendar does not seem to be very user-friendly with finding those openings.
Everything was great!! Craig and judy have an awesome setup and are always a phone call away. Third time staying and will return again! Home away from home!!!
Very homey feel and relaxing. Plenty of space. Yard great fpr dogs. Neighborhood quiet and noce neighbors. Our stay was cold and windy, so we did not use jacuzzi, but would love to return in warmer weather. Loved the screened in back porch. Plenty of parking.

Thank you and your family! It was a pleasure to have you and appreciate your comments about our neighbors. They REALLY are a major part of how wonderful the experience is for our guests to "Live like a Local" in what we consider the best neighborhood in OBX. Our guests will effectively live in a "Coastal Woods Reserve" for their stay. Hope to see you come back - we will give discount just let us know. There are some openings coming up - it doesn't look like it is easy for guest to "see the openings" so let me know if interested and we can waive the #days depending on the particular week but we do have at least some availability for each month - but mostly May, June & August, September.
You chose a great time of year to enjoy to enjoy the area, our neighborhood and home. Quite the peaceful setting - thank you for choosing to stay in our home.
House was beautiful and hosts were so far above expectations there are no words. Have never had a better experience! We will be back!

Wowie zowie that sure is a nice report to hear ! We were also rather enamored with you as a guest — the housekeeping report was EXCELLENT. We were happy to support our 1st responders in the state. Thank you for staying with us.
Nice neighborhood to walk my dog and ride bikes. Close to everything.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 May 2026
Thank you -- although we love our home and amenities, it is the neighborhood that is the big draw when it gets right down to it, as it is extremely unique in the Outer Banks to have such a private, quiet, and SHADY location.
We had a great time at the Beech House. It was a wonderful home and everyone was completely satisfied with their bedroom. The house is comfortable and super clean. We loved the pool and screened in porch. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us - we are happy to hear how much you enjoyed your stay.
Wonderful house in a private and quiet neighborhood with lots of woods and places to walk. Beach is only a short, straight-line drive to the beach.

Thank you Kristen ! We hope to have you visit us again -- we may retire to that home though after 2022 season, possibly after 2023. In any case I can hardly wait !! We are very happy to hear how much you enjoyed our home and neighbors -- they really are awesome neighbors and many are very dear friends.
Great house. Great location. Over stocked kitchen.Everything you could ever need!!We had a great time!! Pool was perfect!

About the host
Hosted by Judy & Craig Miskill
Home is our future retirement destination and is a replacement of the original home lost to tragic July 4th 2008 fire. Only the pool and portions of driveway remain. The new construction was completed June 2009. Golfing, surfing and gardening are the key activities that we enjoy. While at “The Beech House” we love swimming on the pool, evening lounges in the hot tub, and to go for daily bike rides and walks through neighborhood and along trails.
Why they chose this property
Sea Scape community offers easy access to EVERYTHING yet remains protected from storm systems coming from either the Atlantic Ocean (.5 mile), or the Albemarle Sound (2 miles). The mainland is a short jaunt for access to the water park, and potentially less-costly shopping and entertainment. Kitty Hawk is a very family-oriented pet-friendly beach town with easy access to lots of fun things to do (surfing, fishing, boating, kayaking, biking, etc.), and interesting things to see (wild horses, lighthouses, bird watching, coastal woods and waterways, etc.). Our friend/neighbor owns Corolla Jeep Adventures and the Wahoo charter fishing (as featured on 1st season of Wicked Tuna: North v. South). NOTE: Discounts may be available upon request. The Beechwoods Resort is adjacent to the neighborhood which connects to miles of bike and walking trails through Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve, and offers short-term gym membership. Avalon Pier offers bath house option just several miles south.
What makes this property unique
Walking/hiking and biking trails run through Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve. Private location among locals, well-protected from storm systems. Neighborhood is “dead end set of cul de sacs” filled with congenial full-time residents. Although neighborhood has no pass-through traffic there is lots of pedestrian and pet traffic. Satellite viewing from hot tub has a peak time surrounding 8pm - lots and lots of them!
