This was the absolute perfect place for our first family vacation with two young kids and two pups. Can’t get closer to the beach. There is a spot out back for doggies to be let out, which was so convenient. The outdoor shower was excellent and very private. Lots of covered space below the house. The front porch is also amazing with a swing that the kids loved. Mark was extremely responsive. We definitely hope to return.

We love families making memories at Waterview Two! Last week a whole sea turtle next hatched just a few cottages now the beach road, near the famous "Pink House". It's always a big time to witness! Hope to hear from you again ~
My family of 5 spent Memorial Day weekend at this home. The home is very clean. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. I love the ample seating with two full couches and two comfy chairs. We loved the easy beach access across the street. The beach was not crowded at all in this section during our stay. Owners were easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!
Great house layout, close proximity to beach access, great to hang out on the front deck and listen to the ocean, plenty of pots n pans for cooking, house was very clean and neat, Host was very responsive and check on us during our stay.

Thanks so much for staying with us at Waterview Two, Kevin!
This house was perfect for stay. Very clean, well stocked, and owners responded very quickly to my concerns. My only complaint was i paid for linens and the beds were not made up. In the 15 years I've been staying at OBX the beds were always made.

Dear Reader, you may notice that this is the first review in the “how many years of doing this?” that anybody has ever complained about the beds not being made. The reason we do not do it is because, often, people bring their own linens or rent them. The linens policy is clearly stated in the listing. This guest did not pay extra for linens. In fact, I gave her a credit because somewhere, somehow there must have been a misunderstanding. If you ever have a question about linens or anything else before renting Waterview Two, please reach out. We will make sure there are no misunderstandings. ~Peace
Best vacation ever! Clean and decorated very well. Mark stayed in contact before, during and after. Definitely will stay there again. Easy beach access. Great location for local businesses.

Lynn! Thank you so much! Can't wait to hear from you 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.
We spent 4 days here and had such a wonderful time. The host was very easy to communicate with and check in was a breeze. The beds were comfy and kitchen really well stocked. Location was great to have fun all over OBX as well as walk the beach just across the road

She glad you enjoyed WaterView Two! Hope to hear from you again some time soon.
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.
The home is super comfortable, great, well stocked kitchen and perfect front porch. You absolutely can't beat the location - 2 beach entrances across the street with no houses blocking the view/access.
The house was perfect for our group. The beds were comfortable, the house was steps away from the beach, and the host was responsive and friendly. I would happily stay there again.

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to host your stay. Next time, we will put in an order for unseasonably warm and sunny days for your stay. Hope to hear from you again some time!
The house and location were perfect for our family. The host was very easy to communicate with and has been the best host we’ve ever had. Very kind and gracious. I would recommend this wonderful home a hundred percent!
I had a great stay over a long weekend. Loved the proximity to the beach and especially the pet friendly amenities (sandbox in the back was perfect). The house was very clean and the owners were very responsive. Would definitely stay again!

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!
