Autumn Getaway with Family

Our family (including two pups!) all had a wonderful time at this beautiful home on the beach. The location was perfect for our needs, we loved being able to walk over the dunes to the ocean every morning. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was so clean! We are looking forward to staying here again, thank you!

Fantastic house if you’re bringing your pets to the Outer Banks.

I for one always get nervous when I get a pet friendly house even though I bring my pets but you cannot tell this was a pet friendly house. It was so clean and inviting. We will be back in November. I highly highly recommend booking any of their properties.

The best bang for your buck!

Everything about this property was a surprise. You could see the sunrise from one window and the sunset from the other in the top bedroom. You could walk straight out to the beach or stay in and play games. Our teens that came hardly spent time on their phones because they were so busy doing fun things! You did not have to go anywhere to have a good time, just stay at the house and enjoy all the amenities. The last surprise was the 2nd fridge!

Classic Beach House

This was a really enjoyable, vintage beach house. It was convenientnto use an elevator to bring in a carload of supplies. The kitchen is well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. It is a great house for hide and seek! There is plenty of seating available and the 4 full bathrooms were convenient. The one thing the house could use is better lighting. The ceiling lights are almost too much and there was only one floor lamp in the livingroom area. The bedrooms had table lamps that needed brighter bulbs. So, if you are looking for a classic beach house with lots of room, this one is great!

Forbes Fever is just as listed. The property although pet friendly was extremely clean. No evidence of previous fur babies. Our two small dogs accompanied us and the fenced in yard was a huge asset for them. The home is very spacious with an old school feel. We absolutely loved it !!Communication with the host was easy. Speaking with the property manager and the maintenance man, it was easy to see how much this property means to them. Both were extremely helpful and informative. We felt more like family as opposed to renters. This will definitely be a future consideration for our family in its entirety.
