Great location for families

We are a family of 5 and loved staying here for the week! The condo is clean, beautiful location on the beach, and the owner is so helpful. Check in was a breeze, and he always answered any questions I had before and throughout the week. Great location to restaurants and stores. We will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful stay!

What a perfect place for a stay at the beach! The view was incredible, the place was very clean and we had everything we needed (and more!) Beds were comfortable and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer host. Weather was a lot colder than expected- so when we come again we’ll be sure to visit after May 😉 Thanks Richard for opening your home to us!

Simple beach living

Had a great visit , condo is clean but a little dated . Balcony is stones throw to ocean. Only disappointment was the furniture on the balcony. It was mid October so complex quiet.

Fantastic view!

The property was clean as advertised. Richard was kind enough to allow date change at the last minute. The view of the beach/ocean from the balcony is breathtaking. The building’s proximity to the beach is nothing like I have experienced elsewhere (having been to lots of beach resorts in the Caribbean and Southeast Asia). We even saw a pod of dolphins swimming by!

Drifting & Dreaming

This property was above and beyond anything that I was expecting. I you love to sit on your porch and listen to and watch the ocean waves, you need to book Richard's place. My husband and I usually like to go out to eat when we are in Nags Head but I never wanted to leave our place. I cannot even put into words how perfect this place was. We will be back and we will bring our whole family as there is so much space for everyone.

Excellent stay. Great location.

Check-In Experience was very smooth, Unit was clean and tidy when we arrived. Decor was all functional and appropriate, but some kitchen appliances were dated or only in semi functional condition. (Blender, toaster, dishwasher) Other major appliances were all in good working order though (stove, fridge, freeze, microwave) Plenty of space for family of six to stretch out, even during the hectic dinner hour while food is being prepared. Beach accessibility is awesome, kids loved the community pool and playground as well. Pretty centrally located for all commercial needs, and a moderate 20-30 min drive down to Hatteras or Oregon Inlet area for outdoors activities. We had an excellent time, and would absolutely look to this unit again for future trips to the Outer Banks.

Family getaway

I stayed here with my husband and two young children, preschooler and baby, for a one week spring vacation. The location is perfect, we loved the view of the ocean from the deck and being just steps away from the beach. The condo is cozy and had everything we needed to feel at home away from home. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals. When we wanted to eat out, there were plenty of restaurants to choose from in the area. Our only complaint was that the check in process could have been smoother. We drove a long way to get to the condo and our key and parking pass were not available outside the management office upon arrival. Seems the property manager dropped the ball. However, I reached out to the owner via Vrbo, and he responded quickly and helped remedy the situation with calls to the manager on our behalf. Once we got inside about half a hour later and I saw the ocean view, I was able to get over the frustration pretty quickly. The rest of our stay was without any problems, so overall I would recommend this place and would stay here again.

We had an amazing stay. The location is perfect and the view is incredible. We’ve stayed at a number of locations in OBX and this one was by far the best. While the unit and property are not fancy or luxurious, it’s very clean and roomy! The floor plan for the unit is great. Lots of space for everyone to spread out and have a little privacy. The only suggestion I have is a darker window treatment for the bedroom that faces west. There’s a security light right outside the window that lights up the outside walkway. While I’m thankful for exterior security lighting it was like the sunshine coming in the room. We just clipped a large beach towel over the window for the week. Other than a darker curtain for that window I wouldn’t change a thing!

5 stars

This was our first vacation as a family of 4 and we couldn’t have had a better time. The easy walk to the beach, the private playground and the kiddie pool were a huge hit with our kids. The condo was clean and beds were very comfortable. The balcony and porch were great for us to relax on after the kids went to bed. We will be back!

Great location, misleading listing

Location of this property in kill Devil Hills is fantastic if you want to be close to town and directly on the beach. We loved sitting on the balcony with the sun on us, looking at the ocean. Unfortunately, there is no hot tub as listed and the pool is seasonal only, although this is not indicated. The washer and dryer are not in the unit, but on the bottom floor in an unmarked area. The front porch is lovely. Unfortunately during our stay the entire condo complex was getting their smoke alarms tested for 2 hours. Warning that this would be occurring could have prevented us from thinking there was an actual threat and rushing out of the condo. As a whole, the location and close proximity to the beach were wonderful although the listing needs to be updated to reflect the actual property.
