House was clean and comfortable! Nicer than VRBO pictures. Well stocked kitchen. Nice pool. Everything close. Plenty of space to move around and not being on top of each other. Everything you want in a beach house.

Where do I start? Between the proximity to the beach, the generous amount of available beach gear, the pool, the well stocked kitchen, the comfortable beds- this place really does have it all and we enjoyed every minute staying here. Just wish it could’ve been longer!

Location is amazing. Super close to the beach, grocery stores and a quick drive into Duck. The pool is awesome and all the extras like beach chairs, pool toys, bikes and sand toys. House is very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay very much.

This place was perfect for my family. The house had everything we needed for an amazing vacation! Lots of toys, games, and puzzles for the kids. Nice beach towels are provided, which is a nice touch. This is a short walk from the beach, but a nice beach wagon is there to help with the haul-out. 🥰
Pool was great for night swimming and the owners seem to want everyone to have a good time!
Also appreciated a quick check-out process without a lot of 'chores' before leaving.
This was a very relaxing week!!

House was great. Close to the beach and the pool area was wonderful. The house has several things you'd need for a beach day or a pool day.

Fish kiss was just as advertised. I stayed in this home with my two teens. It’s a very short walk to the beach. My kids enjoyed using the provided boogie boards on the beach. We used the wagon to haul our chairs and cooler to the beach. There are nice beach chairs and a cooler as well if you need them. There are also bikes and a ping pong table. Everything was as advertised. The pool was very nice also. You can easily run to the grocery stores down the road if needed. After a long day my teens enjoyed being able to watch Netflix. There is one garbage can that doesn’t have wheels out of three. I think guests before us filled it up and then I had to drag it in once the garbage company finally took it. They are serious about that three foot distancing between cans. We had a great week and I would definitely recommend this home. The hosts provide you with everything you need to have a stress free vacation!

Exceeded expectations
We absolutely loved this rental. Pictures don’t do it justice. Fully stocked kitchen had everything we needed. Pantry items were a bonus. We took advantage of corn hole and ping pong table. Private, secluded setting but so convenient to everything we needed. Gorgeous pool area with COMFORTABLE SEATING. So much room to spread out. Never felt claustrophobic. Added touches of fresh cut flowers upon arrival and a welcome bucket made it over the top perfect. Thanks so much for making this a wonderful vacation after a very crappy year. We needed it. We never needed to contact the property manager but I’m sure that would’ve been awesome too. 😎

This place was very well equipped! Sheets/towels/everything! Oh it was so perfect for 8 months old and 2 yr old. Pool toys. Beautiful pool! The wagon to the beach with the kids was a
Lifesaver. I had a few questions and the host responded within minutes. It will be highly recommended by us!

This is a comfortable, well located property that worked very well for three couples and one 17 month old. It's close to a beautiful section of the beach with a life guard on duty. Loved the pool area especially in the morning and after an afternoon at the beach. The kitchen is very well stocked. If you are looking for modern luxury this is not for you. If you want a great space to spend time with family this is it. A bonus is the baby's room with a crib. There are lots of games and puzzles for young and old.We left with happy memories and would return again.

My family and I stayed at this property in May of 2021. Everything seemed very new and the kitchen had everything. Not only did it have absolutely everything we needed in it, it was all very clean. The whole house was very clean, which is one of the most important things for my family. The pool area had lots foliage debris so we cleaned that up ourselves, this was probably the only downside of this property (for us, it wasn't a big deal, we don't mind a little work even on vacation). Overall we were very impressed and would stay there again for sure!

House inside was nice. Good location. Pool very nice. Outside was a little rough looking. Deck not painted. Weeds around the house. Outside lights need to be checked.

The house is wonderfully stocked with just about everything you would need for your vacation! We had a great time staying here. Just a short walk to the beach and the pool is very relaxing. Plenty of pool toys for the children as well. Would definitely book again!

We had such a great time. The walk to the beach was short and there was so much beach equipment at the house. The pool was fantastic. Being able to get to and from the grocery stores while avoiding Hwy 12 was perfect. We plan to stay again!

First trip to Outer Banks and it did not disappoint! The location is perfect- close to the beach but off the main road, close to the bridge so we didn't get stuck in a traffic jam. House was clean, well stocked and pool was great. Short driving distance to shopping, restaurants, activities. We had a wonderful time and would return.

The location was great, lots of biking possibilities... beach was a few minutes to walk..
We chose this house, because our friends with their 1 year old read the description and wanted the heated pool so that they can use it with the baby. The description did not say that the pool will be only 10F warmer than the outside temperature. Although we were there mid May, the temperature outside was in the 60s/70s during the day and partially in the 50s at night- hence the pool was too cold to use for the baby and most adults.
What we really missed except for the heated pool, was being able to sit on the deck outside for meals. The outdoor furniture on the deck were spartanic and partially falling apart and in any case did not allow 6 adults to sit at the same table.

Great experience all around. Had an 18mo. old girl with us and this house was especially kid friendly. From child safety locks to a crib & baby gate. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and Barbara was amazing. Will be coming back.

We had a wonderful time at this beach house, which fit our family of 5 perfectly. The house had everything we could have hoped for, and the pool was a bit hit. We've visited OBX many times over the years, and this was by far the best location we've ever visited. The beach was super close, as were shops & restaurants (though during COVID, we only ordered delivery or carryout, which made the location important). And we really loved the feel of the neighborhood -- trees, streets to bike on, and tennis courts and a park. We'd certainly book this place again.
