***** June 2025 Perfect, peaceful family vacation. Our kids had a blast enjoying the loft bedroom setup and we loved each having our private balconies. The outdoor shower is amazing after a long, hot, sandy day Oceanside. We loved visiting the soundside at the Salvo Day Use area. Mirros was a delicious local spot with great meals. We loved the Waves coffee shop and tried many specialty drinks low tide, nor Easter, nights at Rodanthe, mermaid matcha and more and the staff was super friendly. The neighborhood location was so quiet, calm and relaxing. We enjoyed walking the beach at night admiring the starry skies. Ryan and Krista were proactive in communicating with clear instructions and The Shore House is even more amazing than I imagined. We would love to come back for 2 weeks next time to make even more family memories :)
***** July 2025 We had an absolute blast at the Shore House. The house is comfortable, clean, and well appointed. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful - perfect for our 1 year old and two dogs. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood, surfing the world class waves, and eating at Waves Market. Finally, when you book this place, take Ryan and Krista's recommendation to spend a day off the beach and on the sound side at the Salvo Day Use Area. We have been vacationing on OBX for years and I can't believe we had not done it prior to this past week. Shallow, warm water without waves and the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen. Wow, what a great week! Thank you, we will DEFINITELY be back.
***** July 2025 This was our first trip to the Outer Banks, and the Shore Cottage was the perfect spot for us and our two dogs! Easy walk to the beach and everything you could possibly need once you get down there in terms of beach toys. We loved all the different spaces in the home, especially the screened-in porch! The upper deck was perfect for stargazing, and the space would be great for one family or two smaller families. My inner child loved the loft! Krista and Ryan were wonderful hosts and provided great recommendations for the area. We hope to visit again next year!
***** August 2025 We had an amazing stay at the Shore House. The location is amazing. We were able to pull a wagon from the house with all of our beach things and it only took about 5 minutes and that was with 2 kids. The house is adorable, too. Each bedroom has it's own private balcony, but the sunroom is where we spent the majority of our time. My kids loved the upstairs bedroom with the loft beds.
*****August 2025 This was one of the best rental homes we've ever stayed in- truly. Krista and Ryan's home was exactly as described, easy to check into, so clean upon arrival, and stocked well. Communication was excellent, and proactive. We received recommendations for things to do on a rainy day that morning, which was so kind and helpful. You can hardly beat the location, a quick walk to the most perfect beach! Lots of fun restaurants nearby, stores, and attractions up and down NC12. The parents and the tween/teen all enjoyed our week immensely. Thank you for sharing your home with us! The Outer Banks very quickly made its way into our hearts after our stay here.
WE WELCOME YOU TO EXPERIENCE THE SHORE HOUSE FOR YOURSELF!

About the host
Hosted by Krista McLaughlin
My family and I love the beach so it only seemed natural to have a home near the ocean. We love hosting during the summer months, so that others can have a taste of the island life that we enjoy so much!
Why they chose this property
We chose to have a home in this neighborhood because we vacationed on this exact street for 3 years prior to our purchase. It is safe, wonderful for kids, has great space for walking, is super close to the beach, and only a quick trip across the street to the sound.
