My family of 5 spent Memorial Day weekend at this home. The home is very clean. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. I love the ample seating with two full couches and two comfy chairs. We loved the easy beach access across the street. The beach was not crowded at all in this section during our stay. Owners were easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

This house was perfect for stay. Very clean, well stocked, and owners responded very quickly to my concerns. My only complaint was i paid for linens and the beds were not made up. In the 15 years I've been staying at OBX the beds were always made.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Feb, 2026
Dear Reader, you may notice that this is the first review in the “how many years of doing this?” that anybody has ever complained about the beds not being made. The reason we do not do it is because, often, people bring their own linens or rent them. The linens policy is clearly stated in the listing. This guest did not pay extra for linens. In fact, I gave her a credit because somewhere, somehow there must have been a misunderstanding. If you ever have a question about linens or anything else before renting Waterview Two, please reach out. We will make sure there are no misunderstandings. ~Peace

The perfect beach house! The owner was very communicative and helpful with recommendations, and the check in process was so easy! Waterview Two's location cannot be beat...5 minutes from the grocery store, 5 minutes from fantastic dining options, and a 2 minute walk across the street to a beautiful beach that was never crowded. We were blown away by the beach --clean sand, crystal clear water, and so much wildlife. We saw pods of dolphins daily, and loved seeing the local ospreys soar and dive into the ocean. The fully stocked kitchen made it easy to cook some yummy dinners after long beach days, and though we had a smaller group (2 adults, 1 kid, 1 dog), the large dining space would accomodate larger families with ease. The beds were comfortable, and the porch was amazing for sunrises and sunsets. The outdoor shower was also a highlight --so cool to leave the beach and get clean without having to track sand all over the place. We appreciated the fenced-in sand area for our dog Max. :)My favorite part of the house was the obvious care put into it. You can feel when a place is loved, and I immediately felt comfortable and "home" in the space. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to relax, unplug, and enjoy the beauty of the Outer Banks. We hope to come back soon --everyone agreed this was our favorite beach vacation ever!

If you are traveling with a family and dogs and want to be steps from the beach, this is the ideal house for you. Throw in a great front porch for coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening and an outdoor shower and you’re on your way to a great vacation. This is 100% where we will stay again if we are fortunate enough to return to Kitty Hawk.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Hall

Host profile image
If I didn't live in Smithfield, Virginia, the Outer Banks of North Carolina would be a great alternative! The Halls of Waterview Two all wish you a wonderful vacation!

Why they chose this property

My family bought Waterview Two from a friend who had been in the OBX vacation rental business for many years and was finally selling the last and favorite of her wonderful properties. When we drove in and walked up, the decision was already made. It's a playhouse in the sandbox. We love the genuine feel of Waterview Two. It's like a classic "Nag's Head" cottage where families can relax and make memories.

It is a labor of love bringing this vacation rental by owner to you. We firmly wish that your stay is all that you hoped it would be from arrival to the time you get home. We strive for the highest ratings with every guest who chooses to stay with us. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your OBX stay at Waterview Two more delightful!

What makes this property unique

The greatest benefit of staying at Waterview Two is it's BIGGEST asset: The Atlantic Ocean is in view and just steps away. We front the beach road. The cottages which were once across the beach road are now gone and none will be built on those lots again. So that ocean view will always be yours at Waterview Two. And beach access is just steps away by steps or sandy path with crosswalk.

Location, location, location! Waterview Two is at MP 4-1/4 so you don't have to drive far once you cross onto the island. And though you wouldn't know it because of the quiet of our neighborhood and beach, all the fun places to visit are very handy by walking or car. Walk to Black Pelican and Hurricane Moe's and other great spots!

Feet in the sand, enjoy your stay ~
