We highly recommend booking the Sea Refuge. This beautiful new beach house has it all; amenities, location to the beach, wild horses, and False Cape State Park. Penny was an amazing host and great to work with. Only wish we could’ve stayed longer!
The house and host, Penny, were wonderful! The house is exactly as pictured and sits in a beautiful spot. We saw the horses one day at the house. The beach is a very short drive. Penny definitely made sure you felt at home and also had everything you may need there for the beach. She let us know that the house was ready early and to remember that we needed to gas up and grocery shop before getting onto the 4x4 beach. We were NOT disappointed with this house or stay. We can’t wait to come back.
This is such a great house and great location! This was our fourth stay in this part of the Outer Banks so we knew what to expect. We love the area and that sense of getting away from everything. This house is perfect for that! No neighbors and it backs up to a nature preserve? I was immediately sold!The house was so clean! Had everything we needed (and more) along with a split bedroom layout. Perfect for a couples trip or a family. The owners are so sweet and thoughtful! It’s obvious they put a lot of care into hosting. They accounted for so many little details like having extra phone charging cables, toothbrushes, and even providing a bag of charcoal for the grill! Communicating with the owners felt more like talking to a friend rather than a business transaction.We would definitely stay again and recommend this property to friends!
