We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed our family time. We all had our own space and bathroom. The house was perfectly stocked with everything we needed. The decks were very nice and beach access was great! This was our first time visiting the area and will definitely return!
We loved this property! We traveled here for spring break and were thrilled with the beach access and roomy house. The house set up was perfect for our family; all the bedrooms and bathrooms were very convenient. The kitchen was beautiful and we were able to watch dolphins swimming in the ocean while drinking our coffee. Would definitely go back!
The house is well located, well equipped, and comfortable Nice view of the beach from the upper floor. Easy walk to the beach and close to shops, restaurants, and attractions.
We were given incorrect directions, entry, and wifi instructions, but the owner/agent was easy to reach and corrected that quickly.
Great location! Stocked kitchen and lovely ocean views. Hot tub was broken when we arrived but owner was quick to address. Heat worked well but not when it was super windy outside one night.
Great communication. Nice property, nothing beats sitting on the back deck watching and listening to the waves enjoying a beverage. We had no issues with anything whil we were here. Everything worked and it was just what I wanted. A relaxing week with my daughters. Very quiet but close to everything you could possibly need.
The property and location are wonderful. It is right on the beach and the view of the waves at all times of the day and evening is beautiful and relaxing. The gas fireplace keeps you warm and cozy on a cold evening, and the kitchen has everything you need to create a wonderful meal. There is a bathroom for every room that gives guests the privacy they need and the beds are comfortable. I highly recommend this property.
Our 2nd stay here and once again had an amazing time. The house was clean and comfortable, the view was perfect, and we loved walking to the pier or to Awful Arthur's for a great dinner. Greg responded almost immediately when we had questions. We hope to be back next year!
We loved the house and being able to sit on the deck and see the ocean. Website needs updating a bit. Kmart no longer marks turnoff, but Target does one coffee pot, not two, and no coffee grinder. Otherwise everything was wonderful and we had a great week.
What a great property! We spent the whole month in this house and hated to leave it! All the porches were fantastic and the ocean view just could not be beat! Greg was very attentive and quick to respond when we had a problem with the dishwasher. He was there 2 days later with a brand new one. We hope to come back and stay again!
Making memories! By far the best vaca yet. It was my husband and I and our 3 grown children with their significant others, and one dog! We all had our own space, the set up was wonderful!! We each had our own bathroom and at night we hung out at the pool table and played games. I can’t think of anything else we needed. It was perfect! Cannot
Wait to come back. Homeowner really thought of everything. So nice having extra chairs and the beach cart! I cannot say enough. Very clean and spacious.
We took our teenage son and 6 of his buddies to the beach for a week, and this house was well suited to this group of boys. Beach, pier close by, pool table and big screen tv on the lower level for times when it was not sunny, and easy walking distance from Target/Starbucks, Jolly Roger restaurant, and convenience stores.
We tend to cook at home rather than go to restaurants, and the kitchen was well-appointed for all we needed. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were updated. The kitchen/dining/smaller sitting area on the upper floor was also updated, while the rest of the house was the more traditional wooden walls of the Outer Banks houses. We really appreciated this choice by the owner - not just any old dry-walled beach house, this one had good character!
This was our second year coming to OBX in mid-May and while the weather didn't really cooperate this time we still had a wonderful visit with friends thanks in part to the comfort and amenities of this house. Location is right on the beach in the heart of Kill Devil Hills with a great deck off the kitchen/living area overlooking the dunes and ocean, and there's a lower level deck with a nice hot tub. The house is obviously an old classic beach house as seen from the outside but has been fully updated with modern bathrooms and kitchen, and everything is nicely appointed. The house was found very clean on arrival. The downstairs "rec area" has a nice quality pool table (an old repurposed bar table) that we also enjoyed. You'll be in for plenty of stair climbing to get in and out of the property so keep this in mind if you anyone in your party is disabled, but for the able-bodied this is a great find.
We were a group of 6 adults and one child under 3! Loved that 3 of the bedrooms had attached bathrooms so each set of adults had our privacy! Plenty of room to spread out with a rec room on one level and sitting area and large kitchen table on an upper level. We spent mornings having coffee on the front porch on rocking chairs and the evenings on the back deck overlooking the ocean! Can’t get better than that! However it does! House was very clean, plenty of towels, beach chairs, and beach toys. Kitchen was well stocked with all necessities including plenty of spices! We spent most days on the beach that was steps away; however, grocery store, restaurants, miniature golf, parks, etc.. are minutes away. This beach house was homey with a family cottage vibe. Brought back great memories of weekends spent at a family cottage up north.
Great property that is reminiscent of the old cottages of the outer banks. That’s exactly what we were looking for - old charm and modern amenities. All four bedrooms are private and isolated from each other. No neighbors to the north, which makes view from oceanfront deck even better. There is a lower covered porch with old-style awnings. Great place to hang out in the evenings with a breeze. Some boards above this porch were falling and letting debris down onto porch floor. I let host know and he was quick to respond. I went ahead and cleaned it up because I wanted to enjoy the porch sooner rather than later. Some other deferred maintenance on exterior (thus 4 stars on cleanliness) but otherwise house is fantastic.
This house was absolutely perfect. The location was amazing; it had all the amenities and was very clean. I couldn't have asked for a better house to get away to.
Absolutely loved the vibe of this house. Perfect blend of rustic beach with modern updates to main living areas and bathrooms!! Plenty of outdoor seating and great central location.
Great location. Ocean access and views. We saw dolphins daily. Home was clean and comfortable. Young adults loved the pool table and hot tub. Everything was close and easy to access. Highly recommend this property for a beach vacation regardless of age.
