The place was not clean when we arrived. Sand all over all interior floors. Sweeper packed full had to empty it to sweep. Dirty toilet. Glad I brought products to use. Leaky roof, which has obviously been happening from the look of the stains on the chair that sits under it. Yard is nothing of what you see in the pictures. Sand spurs and long weeds all over, could not even hang out back there unless you wanted to dig them out of your toes, shoes, and our dogs paws. Which they stuck to the bottoms of your shoes, then carried into the house and stuck to carpets and everything else. Felt like thats all I did was clean up after them or dig them out of someone or something. Refund for false advertising should be issued.

Super fun trip!

This house was everything as listed plus more! It was a block and half maybe from the beach where a lifeguard is stationed during day. We had fun using the houses body boards, beach chairs, and umbrella. The house was just what we needed to cook meals and had an awesome private backyard to relax.

Great cozy place! only a short walk to the beach!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 place, very near to the beach, with only one bathroom but since it had an outdoor shower, this presented no problem.Ceiling fans in every room keeps this small house cool. The tangled bushes around the property make it very private.

Thank you for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the beach proximity, the convenience of the outdoor shower, and the cooling ceiling fans. We're also glad the privacy from the surrounding bushes enhanced your stay. We look forward to hosting you again soon!

Wow! My favorite house in 20+ years of OBX!

This house is small but filled with nostalgia. It is super close to the beach. It is pet friendly but you would never know it. It’s the perfect little place for 6 people. My boys and I loved it. The only thing I would add is a hot tub. I would totally consider for a girls trip in the fall with the fire pit. I can honestly say in 20 plus years of being in obx every summer this house is my favorite of all the houses large and small.
