First of all, I have to say that I have booked many places in my travels. The Whimsical Barn is one of our favorites. Eclectic, comfortable and roomy, it was the perfect setting for the first leg of our annual summer trip to the OBX. It was super clean, well-appointed, and oh so charming. It was like staying in a quaint and rustic farm environment in the middle of suburbia. The coffee station was wonderful and the snacks were a welcome and gracious touch. The decorations were very well thought out; the backyard was perfect for grilling and relaxation; and the porch with the Fooseball table was just delightful for morning coffee. Perfect for parents and pet parents alike, we could not have felt more at home. Now, let's talk about the host. Talk about top-notch. Not only instantly communicative, Adam was extremely kind and responsive to our every need. Honestly, if I could give him 10 stars, I would. If you want a home-away-from home experience with an excellent host, stay here. You won't regret it, but you will remember it. Thanks, Adam, for making our stay exceptional.
