If you are looking for a quality home away from home in a quiet neighborhood close to town and beach this is for you. The hosts have supplied their condo with all the essentials and more. The house is supplied with a plentiful amount of bath and beach towels for guests to use. The cleanliness of the propety is superb. It was an amazing stay. My only compliant is that I was not able to stay longer because I only booked 5 days, next time will plan for a longer trip.

This place is really 1/1. Perfect for couples and to get a get away in the books. The location provides you private beach access, a parking spot close by to the location of the home, a Pool and hot tub and your own oasis. Prior to the check in the host checked in with myself giving me a breakdown of what to expect and where to park. Overall we were extremely pleased with our stay and WILL be there again in the future! You get some wildlife in the morning as well!

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back. The hosts were incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free from start to finish.The condo itself is newly updated and beautifully done. It was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. We especially loved the backyard space, which was a peaceful and inviting place to relax.The neighborhood felt very quiet and safe, and parking was convenient and hassle-free. The location is also a big plus; within a pleasant walking distance to the beach, as well as shops and restaurants.Overall, a great experience and a place we’d happily recommend to others! Don’t wait, just book this place, you won’t regret it!

This was our first visit to the Outer Banks and we couldn't have asked for a better property to stay at. It is perfectly situated in walking distance to the beach, the sound, and main hub of shops in Duck. The amenities are private and the owners are super helpful and easy to communicate with. We'll gladly stay here again!
