Nights in Waves

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in OBX at the Watermen's Retreat Resort cabanas. The weather was really great, the ocean was warm, and the waves were good sized. We all had a lot of fun!

Wonderful Family Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabanas. When we checked in the place was very clean. Everything was comfortable & cozy plus it was so easy with towels/linens included. The location is absolutely perfect. We loved being close enough to see all the sites but not in the middle of the chaos. Sunsets across the street at Watermen’s are the best & food was really good too. All the staff, especially Brandon, were so helpful & friendly. They made everything easy & we really felt welcomed the whole stay. I would highly recommend & we will definitely be back.

Bliss

My visit would have been easy and clean and comfortable if it had just been a trip to a beautiful part of the world. Of course the proximity to the REAL with absolutely fantastic kiting and people makes it great on a whole different level. I almost feel like I should try to keep it a secret instead of giving a good review! The place and the people at Waterman’s Retreat made last week unforgettable in all good ways.

Stay like a home with services like a hotel

Our family had a very nice stay during our vacation week at the Cabana of Watermen's Retreat. The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bath plus enough size of kitchen and living room and laundry; fit well for 2 of us with our 2 adult children. The lock room & shower at ground floor is also convenient. The house is clean and has hotel-like bedding and towels. Most impressive is the team; they are all very friendly. In addition to emails, I had personal contact with Brandon & Jason. One afternoon the TV lost the cable single even after we had followed the instructions to reconnect; I called the service, and Jason came to our cabana right away. He did a complete check and found out the problem was with the TV so they replaced it with a new set and we didn't miss any interesting Olympic game show time. Thank you, Jason.

Convenient vacation place in Waves

All was good. Comfortable and clean. Convenient access to the bay, not so to the ocean side. Great bed in MB. Unit 1C is v. close to the highway, therefore a bit noisy at times. Could use regular table and chairs in eating area, instead of high table and bar stools

Amazing Stay!

After a 9 1/2 hour drive, we were so relieved when we opened the door to this beautiful cabana. Everything was spotless and the furnishings were beautiful. The beds were super comfortable and the linens crisp and clean. The beach shower is located underneath the cabana, and was also spotless. It's just a short walk to the beach, but also plenty of parking if you wanted to drive there. We would highly recommend this property!

The property was adequate but the area has fallen off

The Cabana was clean and comfy. There wasn't enough space for 2 adults and two kids to comfortably relax, as there was just the one couch. Also, I failed to notice there were no TVs in the bedrooms- which led to boring evenings. I'm sure the listing showed no TVs and only one couch, but for (the price)/night I'd expect more. Admittedly, it's totally my fault for assuming differently. The area was run down and mot everything was closed. The few spots that were open for dining were rough and the people were rude, with the exception of the Waterman's Grill that is considered part of the property. If you are coming to fish or kite-board, this is your place. If you are coming for a fun family vacation, you might want to look past the OBX area. Most complaints are geared more toward the area, and the Waterman's Cabanas can't be held too accountable for their surroundings. I just feel the price wasn't worth what the area had to offer. The staff was friendly and quick to respond to our needs though.

Nice accommodations but...

All in all great spot for a quick family retreat at the beach. Only downside was - Initial half roll of toilet paper for two bathrooms, quarter sponge and no dishwashing soap for the kitchen sink and no additional trash bags provided. Easily correctable for future guests!
