Very nice location. Easy access to the beach only a short walk over the dunes. Very spacious living area and bedrooms. Large TV and plenty of seating. Basic items available for the beach like chairs. Only negative was the mattress we used could be better, but it wasn't bad. Overall very nice house and location.

Great house with easy walk to the beach!

Excellent location in the Outer Banks and the house was very conveniently located to everything. The beach was just a quick walk over the sand dunes, which was amazing. Can't wait to visit again, would definitely stay in this cozy cottage again!!

Great location and host

The hosts have done some great upgrades to the home and it was awesome having an additional fridge downstairs along with a ping pong table and extra beach chairs. The outdoor shower was really helpful and we loved that the kitchen has labels so you can easily find and put everything away. We cooked almost every meal there and we found it easy to cook with everything supplied. Whatever cleaning company is used didn't do a great job and we came into the home with dirty dishes in the dishwasher and some other obvious neglected things but it didn't impact our stay. The owners/hosts were very responsive and kind when we reached out. We ended up only using two of the three bedrooms because the room with the carpeting was making our kids have coughing fits and asthma flare-ups. It could use a deep clean and some furnishing upgrades for those with allergy sensitivities but it's a great little beach house and location which is hard to find for those not going in big groups. If you have allergies or asthma (as we do) it will be triggering.

You will be surprised when you see how spacious and beachy this property is! Appliances were current and easy to use, everything was provided. Hosts were easy to communicate with and very helpful! Beach access was easy (1-2 min) and the view was gorgeous! We hated to leave!! Access to nearby sites like Bodie Lighthouse…literally 10 mins away! Right in the heart of things…HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Great place!

Very clean, property manager/owner was excellent. Beach access is not clear, renters behind us blocked shared access, had to walk through overgrown path. Laundry situation was weird at best, left over items in washer & dryer … deterred us from using. Plan to bring bath towels and bed linens. Great kitchen and open living space. Can’t beat location, plenty of beach space. Would 100% stay here again.

Great property location a little out of the crowds but still easy access to all the restaurants and activities. Well stocked kitchen and very large tv for family movies. Very prompt response and easily accommodated a need with an infant and two year old. Would book again.

Great time

The property manager did a great job replying to questions and the house was great! If I had to search for a complaint, it would be the stairs to the laundry in the basement are super steep for older people. We just used the outside stairs and it was fine. The house is very nice and close to the beach. We would definitely stay again.

Family Surf trip

This was our first trip to the outer banks so choosing a location was a shot in the dark. We really had to rely on post description to pick a house to rent. The description of the house was spot on and be beach was even closer than expected! The house is prefect for a small family. Location was like it says; close to everything but far from the hustle and bustle. The sunsets from the kitchen window are noteworthy. The host responded quickly and handled any issues promptly.
