The house was exactly as described and all of the extras that were provided really make it an easy transition into vacation. Thanks for a great stay, we look forward to booking again in the future!

Vickie and Don, thank you so much for having us at your beach house. It is truly an amazing location and family perfect. We enjoyed having the beach as our backyard and being walking distance to many establishments. The house comes equipped with everything you need…basic spices, hand soap, towels and beach towels, linens, throw blankets, games and toys, dog dishes. Very well thought out for families traveling with kids and dogs. We loved it so much we booked two weeks for next year! Can’t wait to come back😊

Even tho the nor’easter was with me on this, my second trip to Hip Nautical, the time spent was perfect! Watching windsurfers every day right from the comfort of the 2nd living room with a huge oceanfront window was awesome, as well as watching regular surfers b4 the ocean got too rough. If it rains there are sooooo many games for kids with a big dining room to use as well and a new screened-in porch where they can play. They also provide Netflix, Disney and Hulu and I got to watch many, many movies during my stay. The house is clean and well stocked with everything you need. Linens provided is a definite plus. Another plus with my new rescue pup was going right out back on the HUGE deck and walking her down the steps onto the beach with beach access RIGHT next to the house. Views are phenomenal in both directions with no houses to your right and any to the left are blocked by the house. The house also blocks the winds on the deck to your left if coming from that direction. I can’t say enough about the location, view and amenities that await you. Looking forward to my next trip there and luckily I scored two more trips this year. Thank you Vickie and Don for sharing your wonderful home with all of us.

I was amazed and thrilled with this perfect beach house, It is even better than the pictures, because you can add breezes, ocean waves, birds, dolphins, and sunrises to the spectacular view. It's also in an excellent, central Outer Banks location for exploring, shopping, and sightseeing. Restaurants and pubs are very close, some you can walk to. And when you return home, there is that excellent deck and porch to enjoy. Many times it felt like I had the beach all to myself, the location is that good. Thanks so much, Vickie, for sharing your beautiful place.

This was a great getaway and our second time at this property. The property is in a fantastic location and is very well kept. Property owners are wonderful to work with and have added a lot of extras to make sure you enjoy your stay. We will definitely be back!

Awesome location and house for a OBX getaway!

Great house literally on the beach . Big screened in porch and deck overlooking the Beach , also lots of windows - nice sunrise view. Well stocked kitchen , comfortable all around with everything you need. Nice to have Netflix etc on the TV - great communication with caring owner . Close to restaurants, supermarkets, etc . Lots of toys for grandbaby and water bowls for dog !

You just couldn’t find a better place! Location is superb!!

The property was in a great location. Vickie was excellent to work with.

The house was very clean, comfortable and had all the amenities one would need. The deck looking out over the ocean was perfect for beautiful sunrises and spotting Dolphins. Our trip was blessed with great weather. The host were very nice, quick to respond to questions and left a welcoming gift. Overall, perfect.

Birthday balloons were a welcome sight for our youngest. The very quiet beach was a perfect place to play, relax and watch dolphins. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking supplies. The location couldn’t have been better for access to all OBX tourist attractions. The beds were very comfortable. Plenty of seating. They even provided boogie boards and chairs for the beach. A lot of thought had gone into making our stay as enjoyable as possible.

HipNautical was everything we hoped for for our first OBX vacation. Vickie was a delight to rent from and quick to help us with our questions. Being able to bring your pup on vacation narrows your availability, but this property was definitely the good life!! Steps from the beach, beautiful deck and covered porch, chilled and wonderful AC inside. We definitely felt like the royalty of the beach as we sat in our throne chairs on the deck, watching families haul their beach gear down the road and through the sand!! We feel so fortunate to have stayed at this beautiful home. Thank you!!

Loved every single minute there , hated to leave. Wish it were my "little piece of paradise".

Would stay here again

We have stayed at HipNautical twice and plan to stay again. Location is perfect, close to restaurants, shopping and other activities. Views are fabulous, love the deck. House is well stocked with essentials. Communication with the owners is exceptional. Vickie is great and truly wants you to enjoy your stay. We love HipNautical!

House was perfect for my husband, myself with our dog Val. Great location and the view was amazing! We saw dolphins and osprey every day. The house had everything we needed as well as food bowls for your furbaby! Also loved the puppy gate on the back deck. Highly recommend and we will be back 😊

The location is very central, the best lunch spot is less than a ten minute (albeit potentially worrisome due to car traffic) amble away. The driveway will comfortably accommodate two mid size SUVs, a third would require coordination. The house is extremely family friendly including dogs. Bowls for water and food were readily available. There are few grass areas but being on the ocean is worth it. The deck is very safe and secure for dolphin watching with your dog. Mine were fascinated by the things making their humans get so excited! Most of the surrounding houses are also rentals so changeover days will have more traffic than during the week. Overall it was the best rental we’ve ever booked and we look forward to our next chance to visit.

I would love to say that the place and owner are horrendous so that nobody ever books and I could book it solid FOREVER! The hostess and I texted frequently and I felt like I was talking to an old friend. She thanked me for letting her know that we made it SAFE! Who does that? The house is in the most perfect local ever and you need not leave because everything I thought I better take because NO VRBO ever has some thing, but this one did! When I did come in off the gorgeous deck, that is perfect for seeing the water and dolphins, I especially enjoyed the 1000 pc. lighthouse puzzle she had there. I can see why everyone would want to book multiple stays over and over again. I wanted to move in! It really was practically perfect in every way! What a find!

We had the opportunity to stay in this wonderful spot for 3 nights in March 2022. The weather was a bit chilly for these days - and we would have been lost if it wasn’t for this house! Within steps, we were on the beach and able to soak up the sun, but could be back inside to warm up just as fast. We enjoyed the deck and watching people walk by. Listening to the waves was perfect! The house was prepared with anything you could need! Charger ports in each room, beach towels and blankets aplenty, and a fully organized kitchen. We had everything we needed! Host communication was superb - best I have had on any VRBO- if we come to the OBX again - we’ll be sure to stay here!

We really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to go back.

We have stayed at many properties in the past several years, and have never enjoyed one as much as this one! So clean and well equipped....we lacked for nothing! We did take out everyday from a different local restaurant, and enjoyed ocean views from every table we chose to eat at that day at the house! Breakfast on the screen porch watching the sunrise. Countless walks on the beach, with a super comfortable bed to sleep in after a wonderful day. Highly recommend this property to anybody who wants to visit the Outer Banks!

Vickie was an exceptional host and provided a home like experience that was comfortable and so very relaxing. We wanted to return again next year but the property booked already so don't hesitate if considering booking as this is a very popular listing for many good reasons.

What a great time at this wonderful home right on the beach! No homes to your right and privacy to your left. Vickie and Don were very responsive to questions and provided everything you needed in the home. Views of the ocean from everywhere in the house. Beautiful sunrises every morning with dolphins included and the 65 deg. Temps in Feb. did not disappoint! Screened in side porch is a benefit should it rain and you can still be outside watching the waves. Going back in April and cannot wait!

We love to come in the off-season to get away and enjoy the beauty. We found this gem was exactly as advertised....well maybe even better! Vickie and her husband have done a lot to make sure that you enjoy your stay! Very accommodating and such a charming place. Excellent location. The place is in great shape and extremely clean. Decor is beautiful. They provided a lot of little extras. Highly recommend!!

HipNautical is perfect. You are less than a mile from shops and restaurants, but the house and beach feel like a world away. The location is as close as you can be to the ocean without actually being in the water. The house is clean and very well stocked, and Vicki is a very thoughtful and responsive host. We hope to come back soon!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful property and the perfect location right on the beach. Vicky is an awesome host and communication was excellent. We would definitely come back here again!

The property is comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. We are older so found the TV a little complicated but mostly we didn't use it anyway, just wanted it for the weather. The location could not be better, right on the beach and near everything you could want. We totally enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very accommodating and answered every question we asked before and during our stay. We would use this property again.

The house is a stones throw to the ocean, a perfect site! The deck looking at the ocean is perfect for all day and watching the sunrise. The house was very clean and roomy. Plenty of dishes and kitchenware for a lot of people. We definitely will be back!! Vickie was a great host. She was easy to contact. Overall a very positive renting experience!

The location almost overlooking the ocean and the convenience in Kitty Hawk is unbeatable. For us, the most enjoyable areas were the screened porch, the gorgeous deck, and the sitting area looking out onto the ocean. Weather bad? No problem; you can still enjoy the ocean. Vickie is prompt, courteous, relaxed, and easy to connect with. Vickie and Don have, moreover, made not only a dog-friendly but a dog-welcoming property, I didn't think my shepherd mix would leave the deck! We've already rescheduled.
