Excellent experience for our vacation

Sandie is a wonderful host! Her little cottage style house is perfect for a family with children and it is very homey. It has a beautiful theme that blends in perfectly with the beach environment. The location is very convenient for shopping, eating out, and it is just a jump across the bypass to the beach. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our vacation in Kitty Hawk while visiting our family!

Sandie is a great host. The place is a great rental home, perfect for young family with 2 kids. The home has all the essentials for a pleasant stay. We were happy to find Sandie provided books and puzzles for kids. These help keep them busy. Kitchen have all the required pans and pots to make a meal. The place is clean and tidy. It was more than our expectation. The beach is in close proximity along with other attractions. Definitely recommend this place.

Sweet family retreat!

We were greeted at the property by Sandie, a lovely woman who immediately made us feel welcomed and at home! Several touches of convenience like coffee pods, kitchen spices, complimentary toiletries, and plush towels made you feel welcome, like a guest visiting family! The location was close to everything, but so quiet, never heard any noise from neighbors! A private and sweet patio area off the back slider was wonderful to enjoy our morning coffee or our evening drink. The beds and linens were comfy, clean, and the property was decorated very cozy, with little details of the beach, books for all ages, board games, cards, and movie selections, along with a smart TV to stream apps. Sandie provided several toddler safety items, which was an added bonus for my family! No laundromat on the property, but a quick drive into Roanoke and there's a nice laundromat, so no problem for us! We hope to visit again, and will certainty check this location for availability!! Thank you!!

This was a great spot to stay at the beach! The townhouse was perfectly equipped for a family, well-appointed, and so clean. We brought our 5 month old and the setup worked out perfectly. There is even a rocking chair in the second bedroom! Cannot recommend this place enough for a lovely relaxing trip to the beach.

Amazing home away from home

Sadie was amazing, she was there when we got there and informed us ac just broke was on it to get it fixed and she did. The space was cozy and comfortable. There was little things everywhere that if you forgot something it was there for you to use. So much better then any hotel ive ever been too. This was such a great stay, with puzzles, games, books and dvds for both kids and adults was amazing. She was so informative and we can't wait to come back down and stay in one of her properties again. So all in all you want to feel like your at home please look into booking her place for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Sandie Markland

Host profile image
My husband of 30+ years and I moved to the Outer Banks after retiring from government service (me) and law enforcement (him) in the Washington, D.C. area. I am an Air Force brat who grew up primarily in and around the Nation's Capitol while my husband drifted into the area from Long Island when he was in in his mid- 20s.

I am now an artist working at stone carving and jewelry making --- an odd combo, I know, but it works for me! I also enjoy photography and some of my photos are on display in our Kitty Hawk property for your enjoyment!

I am also a crazed gardener --- I LOVE to play in the dirt --- and my garden keeps me centered. I suppose gardening is an art form and can be quite an adventure in the crazy climate of this place!

I now longer care to travel myself, but look forward to the opportunity to welcome those who travel to the Outer Banks and hope I can make some small contribution to making your visit here as wonderful as possible!

Why they chose this property

When our sons were young, we vacationed in a townhouse in the same development where our property is located. It belonged to the family of a coworker and worked well for our little family --- we have the fondest, most wonderful memories of our vacations there. When our current unit became available and we made arrangements to take a look, all those fantastic memories came rushing back and we were sold! I have done my best to furnish this home in the brightest, most pleasing way possible.

What makes this property unique

While this home can't claim a location right on the oceanfront, it is a happy and peaceful place in which to rest between adventures --- a great place to enjoy your morning coffee in the privacy of your own little patio (complete with small gardening touches because I can't help myself ...) or cook meals for your family on evenings where you'd like to stay in and enjoy movies, books or board games.
