Lovely location on the water. Beautiful sunsets. Quiet, attractive neighborhood that's lovely for a stroll. Publix a few minutes away by car. Well equipped kitchen, nice spaces for hanging out as a group - outside on the deck, inside with open plan living and dining area. We'd happily stay here again.
We absolutely loved staying at this location! We were spoiled with the best views of the bay and sunsets, oh my gosh!! So nice to get away and feel right at home with how cozy it is! I would definitely book this place again!
We loved our stay here. Great location, central, but on the sound, beautiful sunsets. This place also has the advantage of a good fence, which was great for our dog.
Views, 4 ft fence/yard, privacy, pier, easy access and livability make it a 5-star stay w/ room for improvement on cleaning/maintenance. House & fenced yard very comfortable and accommodating for our family of 5 - which included 2 adults, 2 tweens, and our wheaten terrier. Two big bedrooms up had excellent water views, roomy closets. Kids found a sock under one bed (not theirs) first night so cleaning could have been more thorough. Linens and bathrooms all clean so ok there. Full bath as shown. Washer & dryer upstairs easy to use, washer could have been a bit cleaner as it looked a bit mildewy around interior rim. Baby gate stored next to the machines. Downstairs like listing photos- comfy, easy to relax, and had all things we needed. Kitchen not huge but adequate. Plenty of bowls, glasses, silverware, sheet pans next to stove, microwave and toaster worked fine, so did ovens (there are 2, we used both). Beds were very firm. Husband had trouble with downstairs bed being hard, also flat pillows could have been better. Sofa was big, comfy for all to share but ottoman was caving in. First night brief heavy rain caused small leak in LR ceiling & fence was broken in 1 spot when we arrived. Leak stopped & hubby temp fixed fence so not dealbreakers for our stay but owner alerted/was supposed to fix both after we left. Kids caught mini shrimp, crabs off pier in hand nets, two kayaks provided, dog bowls provided, all very accommodating. Overall really enjoyed our stay. No regrets.
The fenced in yard was great for our small dog after a long car ride and the trees made the evening feel cooler than it was. Lovely property - would definitely visit again and for longer.
We had an amazing time. Everything is as described, or better. We loved the bikes, dock, porch and sunsets. Everything was clean and in great shape. Would definitely book here again. Thank you Areca!
We had peaceful and restful getaway. The views off the deck and from the living room and kitchen were beautiful. The host was very nice and available for any questions I had. We would definitely stay here again!
Abundant space in house, top notch gas stove and oven. Fenced in backyard great for dogs. Dock provided easy access to sound for kayaking. Chairs and cooler perfect for day on the beach. Lastly, host super helpful and promptly responsive.
House and owner were both great. Our family enjoyed our stay!

Thank you, Don! We were so glad you were able to stay with us and enjoyed your vacation week. Thank you for taking such great care of the property. ~Areca and Ron
We had a really nice trip to this property in September. The view from the deck was really beautiful, and we took advantage of the water access with kayaks. We also appreciated that the dog friendly yard was clean and tidy.
We had never visited OBX before and felt so lucky to have found this great home! The location was so central to everything and was an easy drive to explore up and down the Banks. Being on the bay side, allowed us to enjoy coffee and listen to birds every morning on the pier. Yet the beach was an easy 4-5 min drive when we wanted to have the ocean. Great host and such a clean property. We traveled with dogs, and I am used to homes not being as polished when pets are allowed. You would never know this host allowed dogs, except for the nice gesture of dog bowls waiting for us. The supplied kayaks were well used by our group as wel. 100% will stay here again.
This was our first time in the Outer Banks.
Great location - off the beaten path on the bay side. Enjoyed the deck and the sunsets.
Definitely worth coming back.
Wonderful property with great sunset views. Perfect place for our family of 5 to spread out, play games, and relax even on a rainy weekend. Very convenient location to many activities in the area. Had everything we needed!

As stated in previous reviews, spectacular sunsets from deck! House is very clean, nice neighborhood, dog friendly, and centrally located to tour the Outer Banks!
Very comfortable living room and beds, dock was great to fish from but water is shallow so fishing didn’t result in anything but goldfish size fish. Kitchen is super tiny for cooking. Communication with manager was excellent at resolving issues. Fenced yard was nice for dog. Would be nice to have umbrellas for deck. The suns super hot with no shade. Nice chairs and table for deck. Sunsets are great. Neighborhood is nice to walk around. Need more blankets for beds. A thin bedspread and sheet is all that was provided. Lots of stairs by carport to bring luggage up. Not easy since staircase is narrow. Good house for rental comfort.
We had my sister’s bachelorette here and it wa so much fun to hangout and be on the water! It is so close to so many fun things. We loved every second!
The property was beautiful and exactly as described in the listing. The house was clean, the kitchen well stocked, and there were many books, games, and movies available when relaxing at home. The dock was wonderful to fish off of and watch the beautiful sunsets. We really enjoyed our holiday and look forward to returning.
This is a very nice, extremely clean house on the water. One of the best stocked rentals I've stayed at. Host is super friendly and responsive. Would happily rent again!
It was a perfect home for our family’s first trip to the Outer Banks. The home was great, location perfect, and pet friendly. We would highly recommend it!
This is one of the best vacation homes that we’ve stayed in in our 20+ years of coming to the Outer Banks. The house was super clean and had everything that we needed. The views were incredible access to stores and entertainment was within walking distance, or a short drive. We will definitely stay here again.
