Rental was perfect for what we needed. Family of 4 with kids age 11/16. Quick and easy access to the beach. The outdoor shower with warm water was extra nice. Near a lifeguard but not crowded. Short walk on the beach to an ice cream stand (Arts Place/Winks) was awesome. Wifi worked great with all the kids electronics. Had enough kitchen equipment to warm up restaurant left-overs, cook mac&cheese, breakfast foods, and frozen pizza. Easy for door dash to find us. Most meals were eaten on the front or back deck. The dining and living room had comfortable furniture making nice gathering spaces.Location was a great jumping point for travel. North to the shops at Duck and parasailing, or South to First Flight Adventure Park at Nags Head. Quick access to groceries, pharmacies, and all the wonderful food in between.Not having a dishwasher or clothing washer/dryer was inconvenient but an easy compromise for the beach access. A small bottle of dawn and teamwork took care of us for 10 days. The wash house on Manteo has fast high capacity washers () and I was able to get mid-trip washing done in 1.5 hours. (No quarters, all digital).Turning left onto Croatan Hwy can be challenging. If needed, there is a stop light 2 streets North at Eckner (after Arts Place) or South a little ways at Kitty Hawk Rd (at the Black Pelican).We don't have fancy needs. Mostly to walk on the beach several times a day and eat good food. Would easily choose this property again.

We had a wonderful stay. The house is older but charming and had absolutely everything we needed. My husband and I, in our 60's, have some physical issues. This house is very close to the beach and the ocean so getting back and forth to the beach was a breeze. There were boogie boards, chairs, umbrella and beach canopies all provided. The photos on VRBO are not exact as the dunes have risen since the walkway was built but still super easy to get to the beach. We would stay here again. Good places to eat close by.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Awesome lil house on the beach. Very happy that we could bring our service dogs as well. Thank you to the owner and Beach Realty staff. We will return.

It was great to be right on the beach; however, the pictures of the cottage being displayed are several years old. The pictures show this pretty walkway out to the beach. The walkway has been taken over by the dune and has grass growing on it. The back porch is sinking. It looks as if the owner is letting the property go. The half bath is on the screened porch and has no air. I believe the price is too high for what you get.
