OBX beach vacay

We all loved our week at Surf Shack 6. The decks are amazing and it is so close to the beach. The house itself was bigger than what we anticipated from the pictures. This was by far the most well stocked property we have ever rented.

Charming cottage, perfect location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this charming cottage with plenty of space to spread out. The easy beach access was perfect to come and go with our two-year-old. The lifeguarded beach was ideal, and the proximity to other sites kept us busy!

SS6

Perfect house for a family vacation. Has everything you need in the kitchen. The ice maker was my favorite. Roomy living area and bedrooms are comfy. I love the rooftop porch and the walk to the beach was easy peasy, just over a dune. Lots to do close by. Looking forward to booking again.

Beach Vacation 2024

Location is great! Amazing ice machine. Everything we needed for a multi-generational beach vacation! Could use some repairs: back door wouldn't latch from outside making it difficult with a one year old, huge temperature difference between 1st and 3nd floor.

Loved the Surf Shack Cottage

Our family loved the Surf Shack cottage! The house is decorated with lots of great surf/beachy accessories. The location was perfect for us, only steps to the ocean and close to all the restaurants and places we like to visit at OBX. Also, the house has all the amenities you would want for a relaxing vacation.

Great Vacation Spot

Lovely surf shack on the beach. Clean property with all of the necessary amenities for a stay by the ocean. Property owners were extremely responsive to queries and very kind to speak with. Our family has eight people and we had more than enough room while keeping very comfortable. Great seating outside to enjoy the beach with your coffee or an evening cocktail. Just off the dune for beach access and located near shopping, grocery, and restaurants for all of your needs. The best perk to the property was the great ice machine, never had to buy ice during the week which is one less thing to worry about. Will definitely look to stay here again!

This home was much more spacious than what the pictures show. The deck space is incredible and the home was well stocked, clean, and comfortable. All 8 of us had a great time in the house and on the beach just outside.
