We had a little bit of an issue with our dates, but the VRBO host worked with us which we were very thankful for. The house is as advertised, older, but cute, charming, clean. The bedrooms are on the smaller size so it took some creativity to store 2 suitcases in the bedrooms. In peak season the busy public parking on the street right in front of the house might be annoying, but in "off peak" season it was fine. Sometimes these listing fudge how close you are to the beach, that was not the case here, you really are 100 yards from the beach. Very easy, very nice. While we didn't use the beach cart or beach items, it was nice to know they were there if needed.I'm not a huge fan of the trend of putting toilet paper and towels on lock down. We got 1 roll in each bathroom and 1 towel per guest, but if your a person with longer hair and you like to wrap your hair in a towel after a shower you have to air dry because you only get one! I would ease up on both if possible.The kitchen could use some re-stocking. There was no cooking spray, no spatula to flip an egg, so morning breakfast became much harder than it needed to be.The house was as advertised, the hosts were good to us. I would stay here again.

We know visitors value the proximity to the beach! While not 'oceanfront,' being close to the beach (prime locations) are the only locatoins we purchase & establish vacation homes! Thanks Dustin.

Great Property….Great Location

Thanks Rhonda! Glad the place was perfect for your family. Cleanliness is one of our most prioritized objectives, so we are happy you recognized the extra efforts. I, like you, find it hard to imagine how folks could enjoy the gamble of an 'icky' second home or carelessly managed 'vacation rental.' Our homes are designed and cleaned much differently that most!

Great House in Ideal KDH Location

This bungalow was a great place for my family who was coming from DC, MD, and NC to get together for a long weekend. The space was clean and well-equipped for our beachgoing needs for a long weekend. We found the walk to the beach super easy (even with a little one in tow!) and appreciated the house's many amenities, like the outdoor shower, beach cart, and front porch rocking chairs. We'd definitely recommend this bungalow to friends and family looking for an OBX vacation!

Perfect quiet getaway

My fiancé, 14lb Border Terrier and I stayed for a week and it was the perfect vacation. The food recommendations were amazing (thank you!) and we adored the coffee shop. We went every morning. The house is beautiful, clean and very cozy. My favorite part of the day was chilling on the hammock. We rented this adorable place the end of April and look forward doing it again next year!

We love dogs too! We simply could not imagine a traveler to visit without their whole family. Most owners, unfortunately, have not yet cracked the code on how to keep a place 'super clean' while permitting 4-legged friends to visit too! Keep an eye out as we will be introducing our 'beach bistro' for cook-while-you-visit ideas using locally sourced ingredients. Thanks for all your kind words and look forward to your next visit.

Amazing beach access

The super short walk to the beach is what made this property ideal. Room for a family of 4 to spread out enough that we didn’t get on each others’ nerves. Hammock was a huge plus. Nice to have a boogie board to us, didn’t need the bikes. Ice maker in the fridge with frosted mugs, a nice touch!

Thanks Brandi. The direct beach access was the main reason we purchased this place, we know its important to be a short walk to the beach for most beach-going visitors. Hope to see you again!

Perfect spot to enjoy OBX

This place worked perfect for me and my friends. The house had everything we needed and was in a very convenient location. We could see the beach from the front porch and the walk was less than a half block. The pier and Awful Arthurs were also within walking distance. We will definitely see if this place is available the next time we return. The owners communicated very well with us

Glad your group found value in staying with us near the beach! The dune has grown taller a bit and our little 'beach view' is getting smaller, but the easy walk to the pier is the same. Maybe we will look at raising the house in the future to get a full ocean view. Thanks John!

Beach Beauty

The house was very clean and well-maintained. The owners were easily accessible and contacted us to make sure everything was going well. The beach was an even shorter distance to walk than we, originally, thought. Great surprise! It was very relaxing place to hang out and be connected to the area/beach at the same time. Wonderful place to vacation at!

Wonderful, relaxing, clean place to stay

My family and i loved staying here! a short walk to the beach, lots of restaurant options, clean, everything was in order and the owners and manager were pleasant to deal with. While sipping a cocktail on the upper patio, the manager drove up and greeted me warmly. She asked if everything was OK and if i needed anything. All was great, I told her. Great personal touch. It was a wonderful vacation.

Perfect OBX spot for families!

The Magic Bungalow was perfect for our family of six. Well decorated, very clean and beach vibes abound. Centrally located, so close to beach, we felt safe letting our kids walk to beach. Owners provided beach cart, boogie boards, surfboard, beach toys and even extra beach chairs. This was a huge time, space and money saver as we didn't have to buy all the gear! Communication was excellent and Michael even helped set up private surfing lessons with a local surf coach. since Michael was already booked (he does lessons too :-)). Highly recommended for any family who wants an amazing location and all they need for a memorable OBX stay!

Perfect location !!

The home was inviting & very comfortable. My arrival was delayed and i notified my host it would be after midnight. I was very pleasantly surprised to find they had turned all the lights on for me. It was an incredible trip. I set my alarm every morning and walked up to the beach and witnessed some of the most beautiful sunrises I have EVER been fortunate to see And seashells.... GALORE on this part of the beach. I highly recommend and I will hopefully be back again next year!!
