Amazing location and cozy cottage two blocks from the beach. The Outer Banks is a wonderful place to visit all year long for relaxing, dining, world class water sports, touring, or just a nice place to unwind with family or friends on the beach, porch or great restaurants.

Great little cozy and clean cottage walking distance to the Beach, just the right size for us and the pup. This has been our favorite stay at OBX and we visit every year.

Thanks so much for the kind words, come see us again!
We loved this house! Comfortable and small enough to keep clean. It’s two blocks from the beach and the Stop ‘n’ Shop where we got sandwiches everyday.

Thanks Charlotte! You’re welcome to come stay whenever you like! We really appreciate you taking care of our beach cottage and enjoying as we do.
We had a wonderful time! The house was centrally located near so many attractions and a short walk to the beach. It is such a cute house and had absolutely everything we needed. The owner was very responsive during booking and excellent with arrival and checking out instructions. We would highly recommend this quaint cottage with lots of personally.

You lost the key and refused to replace it. How is that good for anyone who would rent to you? Very sad and broken trust.
We had a great stay here. Check in was easy (they even allowed us to check in early so we could spend the day at the beach). It’s the perfect cottage size for 2 couples. Our dog loved it as well. We also enjoyed the porch to play games on! Beds were soooo comfortable. The oven has since been updated since the photos here! We would come back.
Cool design with personality-shaped like a yurt. Very clean. Lots of windows for a nice breeze. Nice towels. Nice bedrooms with firm beds. Big, comfortable living room with couch, 4 chairs. Wide concrete driveway.

Location was good. Close to restaurants..Very outdated.. uncomfortable bed and furniture. Chair cushions were filthy, door knob very loose..Large hole on wooden steps, curtains torn, trash under house, awful smell when we first walked in.. bugs on the ceilingPorch furniture filthy..
Photos don’t do it justice.. much better in person .. light and bright and well decorated with a great, albeit, small kitchen with everything you would need
Outside needs a paint job but don't let that stop you !

These angry revenge reviews make me sad. Clearly from all the other top reviews none of this was true. I believe she was mixed up and thought she booked a different house and the surprise shocked them into anger? Who knows. Very sad the way the world spins now. Let the hundred other good review speak over these lies. Thank you, be kind, the world needs it.
Owner couldn’t be contacted, No key in lockbox. I didn’t stay because I couldn’t get in. Advertised as a beautiful beach house, it wasn’t even close to a beach,the steps were dangerous with a big hole leading up to the front door. Someone is going to break a leg! This owner ruined my trip, I had to find a hotel at 11:00 pm, after driving 10 hours to get there.I expect a full refund! This should not be listed on VRBO. It’s a dump! Neighbors say it’s a fraudulent scam. Ruined my trip. Take this listing down!

Hi, the key was there, you were frustrated with your drive as you aggressively explained to me. I’m not in charge of that part. I’m only in charge of a nice place to stay which has been proven by all the other five star reviews. When you wrote thing from vengeance instead of truth it hurts us all. This review system is one of trust not a button to press because you are frustrated with something. I refer anyone to my previous reviews over the years and I think they might see that you are not a guest to take on or share trust with in your future. Thank you.

Needs cleaning on the outside all trash was still under around the home which included old furniture and any other item. The deck was in very poor condition needs work! The holes through out the deck. Please don’t even think of being bared footed! The outdoor furniture was an old glass table with rusted metal chairs and there was no shade covering! It is not child friendly nor is the inside of the home also, glass tables from the 70’s..drapes were ripped and worn and truly needed new. Furniture is so old and stained .. When we arrived cleanliness was mabe a 4 on a scale of 10.The kitchenette had NO place to put groceries all of the few cupboards were stocked with dishes you won’t even use today.We were so disappointed about the whole place ! One good thing the AC WORKED WELL … one bed was newer I think.Nice neighborhood, but truly needs to be renovated!

Thank you for your review — it certainly makes for colorful reading, especially when set beside the fifteen five-star reviews that came before it. We’re glad you enjoyed the strong AC, the newer bed, and our wonderful neighborhood. Most guests also rave about rinsing off in the outdoor shower after the beach and spending time with family in the breezy, open spaces — the highlights that usually define a stay here.
To clarify: you chose not to use the app (which contains every instruction and which nearly everyone else navigates with ease). Instead, you arrived late, didn’t have the code, called me at midnight after your nine-hour drive, and used language I don’t expect from anyone in polite society. Even so, I woke up and patiently walked you through entry step by step. That frustration at the start seemed to color everything that followed.
I provide a wonderful service to all my guests. What I don’t provide is myself as a punching bag for frustrations with apps — or with the English language. While most people leave with sandy feet, salty smiles, and stories of a great time together, your review will be remembered more for its grammar than its grievances.
Every perspective adds character, and yours will remain one of the more… imaginative entries in our guestbook. Safe travels — and may your future stays be as refreshing as a seaside shower and as polished as the prose describing them.
Roberta property was a lovely little beach cottage, great location, proximity to beaches and shops. House included everything we needed for our stay and more.
This house is truly one of a kind. We have been vacationing in the Outer Banks for 10 years from up north and this is our favorite cottage experience The host was friendly and accommodating, answering our questions timely. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the beach with tons of fun things to do nearby. The Wright Bros Memorial, mini golf, skatepark, restaurants, art galleries, .The beach access is short block away and our favorite beach store. The Stop N Shop has plenty of everything that you forgot to bring to the beach, as well as killer wraps and an impressivel beer selection. The are lots of great choices for restaurants within 10 minutes, but I recommend JK's steakhouse and seafood at Ocean Boulevard. Breakfast and bloody marys at Jolly Rogers was a value and we met some cool locals. Surf lessons and fishing guide recommendations were made available to us from the host. The kids enjoyed getting ice cream at the Dairy Queen a half block away. The house is unique, charming and clean with everything we needed. The architecture and geometric 12 sides fascinated my kids. We had a great time playing board games and there were some interesting local books on hand. The outdoor shower was super convenient for rinsing the kids off after the beach. We grilled out and had a surf & turf meal on the huge front deck on our final night. It was a great family vacation and will be back again soon.
