The house was very unique and unlike anywhere we've ever stayed. We really liked the location and how easy it was to walk right into Duck. The pool was also a big hit with the 2 & 3 year old. They would've stayed in there all day and night if we let them! Alot of cookware was in the pantry and drawers, which was very convenient! Deer crossed thru the front yard and side woods frequently which was nice to see. Our family spent alot of time on the porch, it was nice to be able to sit out there! The property had spiders unlike anything we've ever seen. The pool, bedroom balconies, and front porch had some serious webs. We had to wash one of the bedroom sheets when we got in because it had some spots on it, and wasn't fully cleaned. Wasn't a huge deal we used the washer and dryer provided. We would have liked to use the fire pit, but it wasn't out for use. Our grandmother who wasn't out and about much couldnt watch tv in the back livingroom during the day because of the glare from the sun and no curtains. Again, not a biggie. The beach was a bit too far of a walk for us with the kids, but a short drive. There was 12 of us and it was a good home for us to stay for our first trip to the OBX!

very nice house enjoyed our stay as a repeat stay

We had a great week at The Pearl! The house was spotless on arrival, and check-in was smooth and simple. The photos honestly don’t do it justice — it’s much larger in person, with a unique layout that gave our group of 8 plenty of room to hang out together or find quiet corners to relax. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms, which made beach days and evenings super convenient.The location was great — close to shops and restaurants, with Walmart about 15–20 minutes away. The beach is about a 5-minute bike ride or a 15-minute walk. We’d recommend biking or driving, especially on the way back with beach gear. One thing to note: the house sits on a busy road with no crosswalk, so use caution crossing (though most cars did stop for us).The house had everything we needed — working appliances, a well-stocked kitchen, individual AC units in each room (which we loved), and a garage with some basic beach gear. The pool was a big hit with plenty of chairs and a much-appreciated umbrella for shade. The outdoor areas could use some light maintenance (like pressure washing), but it didn’t affect our enjoyment.It’s a great fit for families with older kids, but may not be ideal for guests with accessibility needs due to the number of steps. Parking was easy, and communication with the owner was quick and helpful.The highlight for us was the sunroom overlooking the pool — it was the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee and sunshine. We would absolutely stay here again and highly r

The pictures don't lie. The rooms are big and styled just as advertised. The light fixtures are impressive. The house is big and accomodation so roomy. The pool provided entertainment for the kids. The kitchen is small, the property - buggy, and the grill needed to be burnt off, but otherwise, a good rental. Thanks for a good vacation.
