The location was close to several restaurants, beach shops and grocery stores. Our favorite part was the beach. It was a close walk and not crowded at all. The host was available and ready to help if we needed anything.

You can't say too much except that this is the perfect place to stay for a beach weened! The home is decorated with a beautiful beach theme, sand lot for the dogs to use off the back porch(no stickers), beds were super comfy, living area was perfect to be in when we weren't on the beach. I've never seen a kitchen so well stocked with kitchen wear (knives that were sharp!), Add a gas grill and wraparound porch that goes 3/4 of the house! Comfy outside chairs and swing to face the front of the house to boot! Just walk across the street and you're on the beach! Sound too good to be true as this seems to be perfect? It is perfect!

Great Thanksgiving at the beach!

We had a wonderful time here. Solid kitchen stocked with most of the basics, all the bedrooms were nice and everything felt as advertised. All instructions were fair, clear, and easy to follow. The host was very communicative and checked in twice which was nice. Location was obviously a huge plus. Would recommend!!

Awesome!

The house is located right across the dunes with ability to see the ocean w/o any houses blocking the views. Beautiful sunrises right from the porch. It was very clean upon arrival and the most beautifully decorated out of the 4 houses I have rented so far. Mark was a great communicator and I even got an early check-in at no cost. Hope to stay with the Halls again next Fall. This is definitely a wonderful place to rent.

PERFECT OBX Spot!!

This house was wonderful! Clean, maintained and in an excellent location. The Hall family clearly takes pride in their home. Our family, including our fur-babies, had a wonderful vacation. This home is in the PERFECT location. The wrap around porch is where we sipped coffee in the morning with the dogs and watched the beach while listening to the ocean waves. They offered all the amenities you need. One quick trip to the market for snacks and we were set. We'll definitely be back!! They made our first VRBO experience easy. Thanks for sharing your home.

Dog Paradise and Location Location

This was our first Vrbo experience so my review is targeted more to first timers. We wanted a place close to the beach that could accommodate our small family of four and dog. We liked the cleanliness factor of the house plus the location literally cannot be beat, it has supermarkets, restaurants and shops mins away but also a relatively private portion of a public beach because there’s no parking near the beach access so it was overall an awesome trip. From a doggie perspective, we really appreciated his attention to detail there with a clean and sandy poop section of the backyard, including supplied poop bags. My most favorite part was wrap around upper deck all gated so I could sit on the porch and listen to waves without having to worry about my dog getting out, dog loved the free reigns of having the full deck to walk and explore. We also really appreciated the fully equipped kitchen, he even has Tupperware, which is great because we found we enjoyed cooking in more than going out. Before coming, we worried about the busy road in front of the house and there are busy and quiet portions of the day, most of the time we didn’t feel like it was busy because we were at the beach during the busy times, and almost all of the cars stop at the beach access cross walk right in front of the house. Thank you Mark for a great experience, we will definitely book again!

If you are traveling with a family and dogs and want to be steps from the beach, this is the ideal house for you. Throw in a great front porch for coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening and an outdoor shower and you’re on your way to a great vacation. This is 100% where we will stay again if we are fortunate enough to return to Kitty Hawk.

Beautiful home on the beach road!

We stayed at waterview too for Memorial Day weekend and had the best time! We loved that the wrap around porch was gated for the kids and animals to stay safely and comfortably while we were outside. We also enjoyed the bottom level grilling/seating area! The dog walk area was perfect for our dogs and I loved that there was bowls already available at the house (we brought our own in case but good to know for next time we stay!) kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and all the beds were very comfortable! I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to book again!

The wrap around porch was awesome, it was completely gated in so we could let the dogs hang out with us without worry as we relaxed and listened to the waves crashing.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Hall

Host profile image
If I didn't live in Smithfield, Virginia, the Outer Banks of North Carolina would be a great alternative! The Halls of Waterview Two all wish you a wonderful vacation!

Why they chose this property

My family bought Waterview Two from a friend who had been in the OBX vacation rental business for many years and was finally selling the last and favorite of her wonderful properties. When we drove in and walked up, the decision was already made. It's a playhouse in the sandbox. We love the genuine feel of Waterview Two. It's like a classic "Nag's Head" cottage where families can relax and make memories.

It is a labor of love bringing this vacation rental by owner to you. We firmly wish that your stay is all that you hoped it would be from arrival to the time you get home. We strive for the highest ratings with every guest who chooses to stay with us. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your OBX stay at Waterview Two more delightful!

What makes this property unique

The greatest benefit of staying at Waterview Two is it's BIGGEST asset: The Atlantic Ocean is in view and just steps away. We front the beach road. The cottages which were once across the beach road are now gone and none will be built on those lots again. So that ocean view will always be yours at Waterview Two. And beach access is just steps away by steps or sandy path with crosswalk.

Location, location, location! Waterview Two is at MP 4-1/4 so you don't have to drive far once you cross onto the island. And though you wouldn't know it because of the quiet of our neighborhood and beach, all the fun places to visit are very handy by walking or car. Walk to Black Pelican and Hurricane Moe's and other great spots!

Feet in the sand, enjoy your stay ~
