We have been staring here for 14 years now and have so many priceless family memories here. It is all about the proximity to beach access in a nice cozy house. The homeowners are always responsive and we highly recommend.
We return year after year because this is a great property for our family. Love the open plan with cute screen porch and just across from walk over dunes to beach.

While the ocean be a cruel, cruel mistress, our fishing getaway at the brick house remains an amazing experience none the less. Everything needed to cook, clean, beach lounge, etc. Would come back again!
The house has everything you need and is very comfortable. The kitchen is also very well equipped and the backyard is a nice spot for lunch or dinner in good weather. Best of all is the location, which is very close to the path to the beach. We had a great week!

Great having you. Please come back soon, even for a long weekend.
This was a perfect stay for our family vacation! It felt like home, had everything we needed and you can not get a better location!
We will be booking again in the future! Thank you so much Fred!
Not my first stay Well maintained ranch beach house that is nicely furnished and supplied Just steps from the ocean and Great family memories Thank You to Fred the property owner smooth and easy Great week at The Banks Look forward to next time!
This cozy little home is all about location; it is perfectly situated in Southern Shores where you have access to all the amenities of Kitty Hawk without the traffic and development. It has the charm of Duck just a short bike ride away too.
We love this house because it's in our favorite Southern Shores neighborhood and so close to the beach. The house is contemporary without being ultra-modern so we feel at home. The kitchen is well-equipped. We love having a washer and dryer available.
This is our 4th stay in this home. Please see my earlier review for additional detail. I very much appreciate this home, the location and the owners. We are already talking about next summer.

It is always a pleasure having Jo and her family stay in our home. We look forward to their return every year and hoping they come back for Summer, 2023.
TVs were not user friendly. Each had different channel availability. Kitchen had too many pots,pans,etc. Difficult to find stuff. On the other hand, it was very well equipped. Appreciated the nice washer dryer and soap. Bathrooms were very nice.Great for 2 people!
Another wonderful stay at the yellow brick beach house!
Please read my previous reviews.
I absolutely love this property - size, amenities (screened porch, outside shower, etc.) and most importantly, location.
The owners are responsive, if needed.
We've stayed at this property for several years. We intend to continue!
Had a Great time on this vacation! The house is a ranch style, a little older I believe but extremely well maintained Property has everything needed for a good time at the shore If you have children or grandchildren less worry with No stairs! Property owners communications and requests are both helpful and reasonable Would definitely recommend!

Thanks for the nice review, John! Please come back soon!
We stayed at the house behind the EMS station for years and now it is no longer available. When we discovered this house on VRBO we booked for both April and August. The house is so quiet that you can hardly hear traffic or thunderstorms. There is a doe and her two fawns that visit regularly ( just like at home). We were very content for the whole week!
This review was written during the off-season over Thanksgiving 2024.
This property is very convenient to the beach. Just a 2- to 3-minute walk, and you're there! This helped a lot since there wasn't any major road to cross, just one less traveled road.
The home needs upgrades:
The "Welcome" mat at the door was worn out and tired.
The bunkbed squeaked with every movement, so our son needed to sleep on the sofa.
The kitchen needed a few more items to make it more usable. The electric stove was slow to heat.
The furniture and decor in some of the rooms were outdated.
The thermostat was set at 70 degrees. At night the HVAC couldn't keep up heating the home and when we woke up in the mornings it was cool in the house. Once the temp. outdoors warmed, so did the house.
There were sand spurs in the carpet that we kept stepping on which did not feel good!
Overall, the home would be ok to stay at if you're on a budget, especially if you have a young family. Communication with the owner was very good.

I was appalled this when I received your rating of 3 stars. This is the lowest rating that we have ever received. You said very little that was positive, including no comments about the nice bottle of wine I left you. You had a concern about the Welcome Mat outside the front door. Although it is completely functional, it’s faded because of the harsh Coastal conditions of intense wind, sand, sun. The bunkbed squeaked, as most do, but the lower bunk does not. The bunk bed is intended for younger guests. We prefer that guests not sleep on the sofa as your son did. You complained about the kitchen. It has a new drip coffee maker as well as a Keurig coffee maker. It also has a blender, toaster, microwave, pots, pans, kitchen utensils, and ample silverware. No one has ever complained before. I have found that the stove is no slower to heat than any others. Since I knew you were preparing Thanksgiving dinner, I checked it before you arrived. The Wolf oven in our house here on the Sound is slower to heat. You indicated that the furniture and décor in some rooms were outdated. ALL of the rooms were disclosed prior to your arrival in photos on VRBO. Evidently you did not view the pictures in the listing. You said the HVAC could not keep up at 70 degrees. Why didn’t you turn it up to a higher setting? You complained about the sand spurs in the carpet You must have tracked them in. Your comment about the house being OK for younger families is derogatory and discriminating.
Great house in the quiet town of Southern Shores, which is centrally located to many points of interest on the OBX. There was plenty of space for our party of 4. The house was clean with a well stocked kitchen, a large back yard and directly across from a path to the beach. The home was very cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.
They have the accommodations for your needs. A functional garage, deep freezer, and yes, beds! Everything is as expected; clean living conditions, location accurately described, and easy communiciblilty.
Thank you Fred... wherever you might be. You went above and beyond stocking that ocean prior to our visit! The fish mourning bell was a nice touch as well! Would stay every year... if only you were pet friendly!
