We had an amazing trip this spring break! The house is clean and was a good size for our family of 4 dog. The location on the beach can’t be beat! We went to the beach multiple times a day. So relaxing sitting on the porch. We made use of the hot tub when it was colder too. Everything was in good working order. It was quiet and relaxing!
This house was absolutely perfect. The location was amazing; it had all the amenities and was very clean. I couldn't have asked for a better house to get away to.

Thank you so much for the great review. My Son and I are finishing Deck improvements with safer stairs and rails. We increased the deck size by removing the landing and allowing for easy walk to sand dune. We also added new deck seats on the first and second floor. Next year we plan on rebuilding front porch with new Bahama shutters and more. God Bless
Absolutely loved the vibe of this house. Perfect blend of rustic beach with modern updates to main living areas and bathrooms!! Plenty of outdoor seating and great central location.
We had a wonderful time exploring Outer Banks! This was the perfect place to stay - close to everything, right on the beach, very comfortable for our group.

Great location. Ocean access and views. We saw dolphins daily. Home was clean and comfortable. Young adults loved the pool table and hot tub. Everything was close and easy to access. Highly recommend this property for a beach vacation regardless of age.

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed our family time. We all had our own space and bathroom. The house was perfectly stocked with everything we needed. The decks were very nice and beach access was great! This was our first time visiting the area and will definitely return!

Thank you for the very kind review. And Thank You VRBO for the technology that allows independent people to manage a property from afar. Can't wait to find another property to create a vacation sanctuary.
Was perfect for 2 grandparents, 2 children w/ spouses, and 4 grandchildren. Can’t beat the location, just steps to the beach!

The property was exactly as expected. It was clean and comfortable. The owner was very responsive. Having 4 bathrooms was a big plus. Traveling with a dog, having gates on the decking was great. We learned to play pool! The beach here is wide and remarkably uncrowded. We had a fantastic stay!

About the host
Hosted by Greg Nelson
I love to bring new life to old structures. So for this 1940's cottage we plan to keep many of the vintage features with lots of upgrades. Plans are in place to move living space to second floor with additional windows for expansive views. Add another bedroom and two more bathrooms, enlarge kitchen and second floor decks. We will also add more views and improved floor plan.
Why they chose this property
The house speaks my passion to save and rejuvenate life into tired structures. My surfing buddies have nick named it the "Surf Shack". The surf break off the Avalon pier and directly in front of the Timeless Retreat lines up for a perfect surf session.
What makes this property unique
One of a kind Covered Porch with Bahama Shutters. Beach deck is level with the dune making a walk to the beach easy.
