The location was extremely close to the beach and many of the famous OBX spots. This is a great place for families, including pets or those that need wheelchair assistance. The host was very informative and always responsive. It was a lovely stay and we look forward to coming back again.

Thank you so much for the awesome review, Jason! I’m glad to hear the house met your expectations and that you enjoyed the easy walk to the beach. I’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Very clean home. Location could not be any better. Our over site was not realizing that the fourth bedroom and that toilet area was completely separate from the rest of the house. Restaurants and fast food within walking distance

Hi Tere, Happy Anniversary! So glad you enjoyed the games, hot tub, fire pit, and beach. I'd love to host you again!
The property was AMAZING! It was decorated in fun beach colors. The proximity to the beach was perfect; it was just a quick stroll in the morning. The backyard was great for our dogs, and would be perfect for small children, too! The beds were super comfortable! We would definitely stay again!

Hey Krista, it's wonderful to hear you enjoyed the decor and quick access to the beach and found the beds comfortable. Thank you for the great review! I'd love to welcome you and your furry friends back anytime!
My family had a great time staying here. It was exactly as described. No complaints at all. Particularly appreciate how well equipped it was to have the family dogs with us. Clean, lots of amenities and in great location. Quickly felt like home away from home. Would definitely stay here again.

Hey David, I'm so happy to hear you had such a great experience! I'd love to host you again soon!
The house was just as it was pictured and described. Everything was clean and it was well stocked. James was easy to communicate with and available if needed. The hot tub was clean and hot! The outdoor area was protected by wind screens, a very nice touch so we could enjoy being outside even when it was windy. Only a short walk to the beach and close to places to eat. Overall a very nice home and we really enjoyed our time there!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We're glad to hear the home met your expectations and that you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
The kitchen cooking and appliances were excellent. Better than expected. We expected to be able to enjoy the plunge pool and hot tub,However, the chlorine was too high for safety. It was super dog friendly and that was important. We have rescue dogs & their needs were very well met. We had an incredible dinner at Single Fin Thai/ sushi Restaurant. Highly recommend it.

Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad the kitchen exceeded your expectations and that your dogs felt right at home. Regarding the pool and hot tub, I reached out to our pool vendor during your stay, and they visited to check the chlorine levels and confirmed that it was safe to use. I understand it may have seemed high on the test strips, but these numbers are common in Dare County and do not pose any danger. I’m happy you were able to enjoy your stay otherwise, and I’d be glad to host you again anytime!
This place is great. Very clean. The beds are so comfortable. Everything you need in the kitchen is present. Several places to hang out which are the living room, screened in porch, deck, covered carport, and back yard. We had 5 adults in the home, and all of us had not one issue. Well maintained. It was nice to have a smart TV in every room. Will definitely stay again.
