Finn and Tonic is a great place to stay. Everything is always clean and neat with the most comfortable beds anywhere. The crows nest is a really cool extra.
Great experience at Finn and Tonic. House worked out perfect for our family of three. House was exactly as shown in the photos and was very clean upon arrival. Very nice location for fishing as ramps 48/49 are right up the road. Would absolutely book again.
We had a wonderful time at Finn and Tonic. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. It was such a short walk to the ocean. Plenty of room for the 5 people and our 2 dogs. The best part was the crows nest. We went up every night to watch the stars. I couldn’t ask for a better vacation.
Great location - just a very short walk to the beach. The house has a great location to the beach. The inside decor is older but the pictures online are up to date and accurate. Washer and dryer worked well. This house was all we needed for a beach getaway- we stay at the beach all day. Property owner is responsive.

Hi Jared:
Thank you for your review & kind words. Appreciation gift in mail to you! We are putting in a new carrier HVAC soon this year (Sept.) & have already paid 1/2 for it. We live 8 hours away & hard to get to house 2-3 times per year. Wish we could do more.
Thank you!
Stewart - owner
We’ve stayed at many places on Hatteras Island and this is definitely one of our favorites. Everything was so easy thanks to Stewart the owner who is so easy to talk to and is helpful at every turn. The house is incredible, roomy and laid out perfectly. The crows nest is a great touch! I hope we get to stay here again sometime.

Our stay at the Fin & Tonic was terrific! The central location was very convenient with stores, ferries and fishing spots close by. The house was still in the process of being updated but was still comfortable, clean and the beds slept great. Stewart, the host/owner was also very complimentary and responded to any questions we had. We will definitely be back!

Our family loved our stay at the Fin & Tonic! It was a great and quaint location with a short (less than 2-minute) walk to the beach. Beautiful town and shoreline. House is clean. We loved the outdoor shower and crow's nest. Steward was a wonderful host with great communication!

What a nice review! I may have to adopt you!! We are here now at our OBX Fin&Tonic house n vacation and just had a new HVAC system installed yesterday. I am laying new wood laminate floors in both bathrooms. I also am doing touch up painting, removed the 2 outside black futons. Kitties will love them in our shed underneath house!
Thank you!

This is the third time I’ve stayed at Fin and Tonic in Frisco and I’m sure it won’t be the last. It’s a comfortable place with all the amenities one would expect in a home and it’s in a very convenient location. I like the new bathroom floors too!

Earn up to $50 gift from owner, if write a positive review.
This place was great so that you can just go and relax. The beach is a short walk from the house and the sound is a short walk in the other direction. There's three rooms that all having locking doors for privacy. There's a small dishwasher that helps with the dishes that pile up from all of the great fresh seafood around.

The place was really close by the beach. This is the second time I have been there with my significant other and our two pets. The area is so nice and secluded and this place was comfortable to be in. There were a few areas that were dirty ( a used floss on the nightstand, hair on the bed sheets and fridge and certain areas on the carpet) but other than that everything during the stay went really well. There isn’t a blender when we were there so we couldn’t make smoothies lol but it was okay! We truly enjoyed our stay there and was really happy with our days there at the beach. It’s a great away to get away from daily routines.

To begin with Stewart is a gem. He's so responsive and detailed. This place is super cute and was perfect for our group of friends (5 of us). There was so much in the kitchen (pots, pans, dishes, cleaning and paper supplies) it was amazing. We've stayed in other properties and some places have next to nothing. The living area had enough room for us all to claim our own spaces. It was close to the beach which was a must for us. The crows nest was so great to sit in. We had the view of the Sound and Ocean. We would love to stay again next year. Thank you, Stewart!! Heidi L
