***** June 2025
Perfect, peaceful family vacation. Our kids had a
blast enjoying the loft bedroom setup and we loved
each having our private balconies. The outdoor
shower is amazing after a long, hot, sandy day
Oceanside. We loved visiting the soundside at the
Salvo Day Use area. Mirros was a delicious local spot
with great meals. We loved the Waves coffee shop
and tried many specialty drinks low tide, nor Easter,
nights at Rodanthe, mermaid matcha and more and
the staff was super friendly. The neighborhood
location was so quiet, calm and relaxing. We enjoyed
walking the beach at night admiring the starry skies.
Ryan and Krista were proactive in communicating
with clear instructions and The Shore House is even
more amazing than I imagined. We would love to
come back for 2 weeks next time to make even more
family memories :)

***** July 2025
We had an absolute blast at the Shore House. The
house is comfortable, clean, and well appointed. The
neighborhood is quiet and peaceful - perfect for our
1 year old and two dogs. We enjoyed walking in the
neighborhood, surfing the world class waves, and
eating at Waves Market. Finally, when you book this
place, take Ryan and Krista's recommendation to
spend a day off the beach and on the sound side at
the Salvo Day Use Area. We have been vacationing
on OBX for years and I can't believe we had not done
it prior to this past week. Shallow, warm water
without waves and the most beautiful sunset I've
ever seen. Wow, what a great week! Thank you, we
will DEFINITELY be back.

***** July 2025
This was our first trip to the Outer Banks, and the
Shore Cottage was the perfect spot for us and our
two dogs! Easy walk to the beach and everything you
could possibly need once you get down there in
terms of beach toys. We loved all the different
spaces in the home, especially the screened-in
porch! The upper deck was perfect for stargazing,
and the space would be great for one family or two
smaller families. My inner child loved the loft! Krista
and Ryan were wonderful hosts and provided great
recommendations for the area. We hope to visit
again next year!

***** August 2025
We had an amazing stay at the Shore House. The
location is amazing. We were able to pull a wagon
from the house with all of our beach things and it
only took about 5 minutes and that was with 2 kids.
The house is adorable, too. Each bedroom has it's
own private balcony, but the sunroom is where we
spent the majority of our time. My kids loved the
upstairs bedroom with the loft beds.

*****August 2025
This was one of the best rental homes we've ever
stayed in- truly. Krista and Ryan's home was exactly
as described, easy to check into, so clean upon
arrival, and stocked well. Communication was
excellent, and proactive. We received
recommendations for things to do on a rainy day
that morning, which was so kind and helpful. You can
hardly beat the location, a quick walk to the most
perfect beach! Lots of fun restaurants nearby, stores,
and attractions up and down NC12. The parents and
the tween/teen all enjoyed our week immensely.
Thank you for sharing your home with us! The Outer
Banks very quickly made its way into our hearts after
our stay here.

WE WELCOME YOU TO EXPERIENCE THE SHORE HOUSE FOR YOURSELF!
