This was our third stay with Lively Yourself Up and every time has been an incredible stay. Cindi and her husband are very hands on if needed and the house is always spotless. It is perfect location close to the beach, shopping and points of interest. I highly recommend staying there.

This place is simply great, family friendly and welcoming. The attention to detail was fabulous. The front yard and back porch are pleasant spaces for BBQ, and relaxation after a day at the Beach. The rooms were clean and the dinners spotless. The kitchen was well equipped. Thank you Cindy for a great experience.

This is a true gem in the Outer Banks. My family and I loved our stay. The owners will take great care of you. We felt very welcome.The house is probably one of the best organized and well equipped places we’ve ever stayed at. Located about a 3-5 min walk to the public -very well kept - beach. The house is quite charming and we loved sitting on the front porch in the evenings listening to the frogs singing. The outdoor shower is great from when you’re back from the sandy beach. Air condition units worked great and the air purifiers were a nice extra. The owners were also very responsive on the questions we had. Can warmly recommend this place and hope to make it back one day.

We had a wonderful time me and my wife and two year old. The house was immaculately clean and well stocked. The hot tub was very hot and even had lovely smelling vines around it. The decor was tasteful and seaside vibes. Cannot recommend it enough!

Great Stay

The house is clean and well cared for with fun decorations and a beautiful kitchen. The back yard is amazingly private and unlike most of the other houses in the area. Having the fenced and private back yard is great with little kids and the hot tub is perfect.

Mother’s 80th birthday celebration

My family of 5 just stayed in this super cute, beautifully maintained property to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday! Host was easy to communicate with and responded readily. House was well stocked with the basics and more! Great sitting areas in both the front yard and porch areas. Great backyard space with a hot tub. So close to beach access and centrally located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills! We had a wonderful experience !
