Property was exactly as described. All basic needs meet wonderfully. The house was clean, bed comfortable, good hot water, great air unit. Not one complaint at all. The Property being just a very short stoll to the beach was a plus. While we were here the tide stayed high (just had a very stroms come through and more churning in the ocean) so we either went to the point to have a "beach" to sit on or hung out on the steps that cross over to what is normally the beach by the house. The house is right by the light house so a lot of things to do and beach acesses to go to. I'm sure we will return!

This apt. was just right for my husband and me. The beds were very comfortable. The couch in the living room is a futon. It leans back a bit but pillows did help. We did not use the kitchen except for frig and sink, but it seemed to have all that was needed to cook. It is close to the beach! We would stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Skipper Buxton cottage. The online photos give an accurate representation of what the place is like. It's cozy and clean. I found the couch in the living are to be more comfortable than expected, so that was a win. The beds were also quite comfortable! We found the outdoor shower to be a wonderful bonus! Lots of how water and plenty of privacy. Location was ideal for my kiteboarding trip. I would come back.
Thanks!

There are pros and cons regarding this place. Pros: very close to the beach ( about three minutes of slow walking distance), very close to surfboard rentals, Natural Art Surf Shop has very affordable price $10 a day for 8 foot long board, not too far from Cockeyed Clam Restaurant, food is simple but tasty.
Cons: The location and surroundings creates mixed feelings. It’s not too bad but I would think twice to take my family if my kids were not grown ups by now. The biggest disappointment I have was a huge rusty stain in the bathroom sink and dirty drain hole in the bathtub. The design and furniture are very minimalistic but I don’t complain. It would be nice to have at least small bar of soap and toilet paper in the bathroom but I guess price dictates the quality.

Neal & Linda were the most hospitable hosts. My trip was a 4 day family outing with 2 uncles. We were fortunate in that our hosts stayed in the same building during our visit & they were extremely helpful with any basic needs or questions that we had. Place is quaint, super clean with nice bedrooms. Location is quiet with access to nice restaurants & shops. Highly recommend a breakfast & an order of steamed shrimp @ Diamond Shoals!! Conner’s grocery is also nearby for any basic needs.
Looking forward to a return trip.

I had never experienced a VRBO before, and so I had no expectations. Here I am, with my daughter and grandson, and we're hoping for an excellent vacation in a place that's easy to access--it was--and in a great location--it was.
When it comes to hotels, I look for a satisfactory trip, with a roof overhead and preferably in a decent location. This felt like a home! There were so many little special touches, like the dish drainer and variety of dishes and large plug-in fan (my daughter claimed this and never let me use it!) and the broom and dust pan to keep our new home clean. And how about that ROKU television on the wall so we can cast anything we wanted from our devices. My grandson realized just how much he loved Spongebob this week.
Every morning, we'd take a walk, sometimes down to the beach, sometimes to a local store, frequently to the nearby Diamond Shoals restaurant for an excellent breakfast. Seriously, we were close to absolutely everything.
Easy check in, easy check out, and very clear instructions for both. Strong recommendation, and I would stay there again!

The place was great, we have stayed here before and knew what to expect. The were plenty cups, plates, utensils, dish detergent, toilet paper, pillows, towels, salt and pepper, microwave, pots. Can openers. How ever the beach was awful! This time they were working on the beach, there were big pipes, and the sand was harsh (too much shells that hurt to walk on) this made a steep beach terrible for the kids and the hatteras light house was close, meaning you can’t go up.
