Awesome beachfront location

Old Bay Hideaway is right on the beach, offering unobstructed views of the Atlantic. We lucked out that few homes were occupied so early in the season. The home is older and showing its age in some places; it could definitely use some TLC. We had an unexpected issue arise on the fourth day of our stay. The owner was responsive to my call but was unable to remedy the problem quickly, so we chose to vacate and relocate to another rental. I received a refund for the balance of my reservation which was very much appreciated.

Perfect Valentine

February 14th is the Love Holiday, but the 15th is our wedding anniversary, so a perfect week of Love was our plan! The weather cooperated, no rain, and the rental,property was perfect for us and our two dogs. Everything was as described and the updates were appreciated. Being directly on the beach we enjoyed the beautiful sunrises, sunsets, and dinner dates! The beach was stunning, even to the point of finding a half dozen perfect sand dollars. Yes- even for a February getaway, this place was perfect. Thank you!

Family Trip

My family traveled to the Outer Banks for New Year’s weekend. The house was perfect for the six of us. We had beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The hot tub on the deck was a great spot to relax and look at the beach during day and the stars at night. On cold days, we could sit inside in the comfortable living room and see the ocean. We had a question when we were checking in and the owner responded immediately. We have stayed at numerous house and developments in the Outer Banks over many years. We would highly recommend Old Bay Hideaway!

Perfect location!

You really can't do better than the Old Bay Hideaway if you want to be in a quiet neighborhood and just steps away from the ocean. We loved being right on the beach! Easy to come and go multiple times throughout the day, and given the quiet neighborhood and the position of the house at the end of a cul-de-sac it felt like we had the beach all to ourselves. The deck on the top floor was the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee and watch the sunrise over the ocean. The brand new hot tub was the perfect way to relax at the end of the day and watch the stars. You can even see the Milky Way! The main living areas of the house were well-appointed and comfortable. The bedrooms were suitable for our needs (although a king-size bed would be a nice addition to the main bedroom upstairs). A few negatives -- the kitchen had ants. This is to be expected when you're basically living on top of a sand dune, and I don't think I've ever stayed at an OBX house that didn't have ants. We were able to somewhat keep them at bay with ant spray, but it was a minor annoyance. There is the normal wear and tear that you should expect from an older beach house that has been exposed to the elements for many years. Under the house is a graveyard of broken beach chairs and busted boogie boards, so plan to bring your own beach gear or rent some in town. These are minor issues, though, that are quickly forgotten when you lay your eyes on the ocean and your feet in the sand. We hope to return again!
