Perfect escape

This is beautiful house with plenty of space. 4 big bed rooms, 2 large family rooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 huge kitchens and plenty of space to sit and eat. Whole house is in great condition with state of the art bathroom. Outside canal is beautiful and sitting and watching it from deck is so relaxing. This house is in main Buxton town and close to pretty much everything (short walking distance). We loved our stay there. Will highly recommend it for anyone.

Great location in relation to guarded beach

It was a pleasant surprise, since we were traveling with children, to find the Hatteras Lighthouse beach was manned by life guards. This beach has no homes near it, so any other Hatteras properties close to a beach will be close to an unguarded beach. With riptides, even if I had ocean-front, I think I would have driven to the guarded beach this home was so close to. Seema was easy to deal with, and the unique floorplan with a separate upstairs living area (fridge, fusbol, etc.) was a good fit with the teens in our crowd.

Fall Vacation Stay

Really enjoyed our stay. The name definitely fits with "Hidden Gem". Close to entrance to Hatteras lighthouse access ramps 43 and 44. Would recommend to anyone.

The Hidden Gem

The village was great. Much nicer than anticipated. There were a few maintenance issues at the villa, but nothing that hindered us in anyway, and the owner said she would be fixing them. We did have two main complaints. The first is that there is no trash dumpster on site and you are responsible for the proper dumping of trash. The second and biggest complaint is the overabundance of bugs (namely mosquitoes). The property sites back in a semi-wooded area, next to a canal. Everyone received multiple, horrible mosquito bites while staying at the villa. We believe if the grounds were better maintained and treated this would not have been an issue, as we were not attacked by bugs anywhere else on the island. The mosquitoes made it impossible to go outside at the villa for any length of time, and therefore we could not properly enjoy the beautiful deck.

Thanks for the review, appreciate that you liked the house and enjoyed your time at the Island. As you noticed, and others at Island will tell you that too, mosquitoes are indeed a big nuisance everywhere here apart from beaches and their numbers goes up or down depending on which way the wind blows. We do have the pest control company which takes care of all the pests, however being that Island has a precarious ecosystem people avoid using very harsh chemicals which might affect local wildlife. I believe, mosquitoes was one of the biggest hindrance for wright brothers during their first flight too. I will update the listing to encourage the guests to bring enough insect repellent. About the Trash disposal issue, I know even though it’s a hassle that’s the only way to get rid of Guest’s waste as there is no Garbage disposal truck that comes to the house and we definitely don’t want the next guests having to deal with previous guests waste.

Great for family getaway

We went with another family and had the greatest of time at this house. Photos gave us good idea about what to expect and we were not disappointed. We had our dog along and he had fun too. Its secluded but close enough to walk to beach which we did few times. Will definitely love to go back someday.
