Nice for a large group, We had plenty of room for our family of 7. The house was clean and comfy. Roanoke island/Nags Head is about an hour away. The plus side to that is that it’s very quiet with no traffic congestion. The negative is that larger grocery stores are a bit of a drive.

Perfect clean home for your ENC getaway

We came down for a hunting trip and this property was great. Great area in Engelhard, ample beds, spotless on the inside, fully equipped kitchen and so much more. The owners made us feel at home and communication was great with some spot on recommendations.

Relax and Recharge

The Gibbs lodge was a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the real world. Although it was a little more remote than we had anticipated, the amount of things to do in the Hyde county area was immense. The Gibbs family has quite a history in the area and they welcomed us with open arms. Great place to stay and relax.

About the host

Hosted by Gregory Gibbs & Caroline

Host profile image
The Gibbs family goes back to days when Blackbeard called the OBX home. In fact my family descended from Blackbeard's first mate Gibbons, who had the choice to walk the plank or to be sent ashore at Gibbs' Point. Engelhard has been home for our family since the 1600s.

Why they chose this property

This location affords you the ability to enjoy the OBX, hunting, fishing, crabbing, touring historical sites, boating, bird watching, and much more in a serene peaceful setting that is relaxing and gets you back to nature.

What makes this property unique

This property is very reasonably priced, unlike properties that are beach front. We include bed linens and towels at no additional cost. The lodge is one of the only rental properties in the area that can accommodate big/multiple families or groups. Very unique location that allows you to take advantage of everything our part of the world has to offer.
