We loved this house and the neighborhood. Close enough to walk to the beach, but also helpful that there were parking passes available for beach access. We would stay here again.

Beautiful House

Loved every moment of our stay. We plan on returning next year. Big, clean house. Relaxing hot tub. Walking distance to the beach. What could be better?

Wonderful beach home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time at Beach Blessing. The home was stocked with anything we could need. Having 14 people to feed for a week made great use of both refrigerators. It was a short walk to the ocean. A short drive to both Duck shops and the grocery store. We would definitely stay here again.

Jennifer, We're so glad to hear you had an amazing time at Beach Blessing! Feeding 14 people for a week sounds like quite the adventure, and we're thrilled our two refrigerators came to the rescue. You're like the Avengers of beach dining! Thanks for the lovely review, and we can't wait to have you back for another epic mealtime at the ocean's doorstep.

What a blessing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was wonderful. My family had a wonderful time. There were so many things to do such as ping pong, hot tub, horse shoes, corn hole and a jacuzzi. We spent early in the morning on the decks with coffee and reading until everyone was up. It was a quick walk to the beach. We also liked the trails for the ones of us loving to go walking. Great place!

Mines, Sounds like you squeezed every ounce of fun out of your stay—love it! So glad Beach Blessing delivered the goods. Come back anytime for more coffee, cornhole, and coastal vibes! ☀️"

Highly recommended

Close to beach, but if you park at beach access make sure you are at the right location - $50 parking ticket. Parking passes are on side of fridge. Love the trees surrounding property. Gives privacy and shade and cuts down on amount of wind. Everything looks new inside, only has a few minor things I would mention.... Bottom door on shoe/coat rack at entrance is broken and some bedroom door knobs are loose. You guys made it extremely hard for me to complain about anything!

Beach Blessing Review

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house itself is beautiful! We loved the location and the amenities. There were a few things broken, and the cleanliness was not wonderful. Our rental was actually ready early, and we would have preferred to wait until six if it meant a better cleaning by housekeeping. It was also strange to check in and out without speaking to anyone. It worked, but was new to us. Overall, the property was great, cleaning needed to be improved, and some amenities either need cleaning or to be properly fixed. We would stay here again.

Truly a Beach Blessing!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time staying at Beach Blessing and it was truly that, a blessing! We rented this house so we could be close to our family renting a house 7 minutes up the road. This house was a perfection location as it was a short walk to the beach and close to shops and restaurants in Southern Shores. We were able to bring our dog which was also a plus for us. The home was not only pet friendly but people friendly as it had everything we needed for our stay. The rooms were large as well as all the common areas. The beds were SUPER comfortable and every one in our group was raving about the restful sleep we got. After the first night we had already decided to book again for the following year!

Roy, Well, aren’t you just a ray of sunshine! We're absolutely thrilled that Beach Blessing lived up to its name and gave you the perfect getaway. Super comfy beds, room for everyone (including the fur babies ), and that prime location—what's not to love, right? We're already counting down the days till you’re back next year for round two! ✨ Thanks for the glowing review!

Beach Blessing Indeed!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great layout in this house. Plenty of seating, which you don't always find. Kitchen is very well stocked with necessities. Loved the coastal/modern farmhouse decor. Wish the cleaning crew would have paid a little more attention to the dog hair on couch/pillows and the baseboards. Also, when we rented (early Aug), the horseshoe pit was overgrown as was most of the yard. The outside showers weren't working, but there were plenty of showers inside. The location is awesome - close to beach and being in Southern Shores, you don't have as much traffic as other shore points.

Clean and Quiet Location

The main downfall would have been that we weren't given a welcome bag with soap and other necessities on arrival. There were parts of the deck that should not be used barefoot...well, most of it. Everything was as described. The house was very clean. There were no signs of water damage or poor craftsmanship. Everything was in working order! The neighborhood was quiet and we enjoyed walking to and from the quiet beach. There were rarely many people at the beach even though we were visiting over Father's Day. The beds were comfortable. The window coverings were adequate, but I wouldn't describe them as total blackout curtains. Our family members used the hot tub a few times. They said it was clean and relaxing. A few ticks were discovered by adults that hadn't been out in the brush, but just the driveway. In general, it wasn't extremely buggy. Keep in mind, there is a pond/drainage in the lot next door. The kids loved the foosball table, ping pong and the fire pit. The large couch in the main room was great for seating everyone. Would stay here again!
