Perfect getaway

This was the perfect house for our relaxing getaway. Just a short walk to the beach to enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The house was clean, and we had plenty of space to relax and spend time together. The house had everything that we needed. It was a huge plus that we were able to bring our fur babies with us. We will be staying again when we come back to the OBX.

All the comforts of home while enjoying the beach

What a wonderful stay- check in was a breeze and the house was perfect for our family. The kitchen was very well equipped to allow for us to cook on some days. The home is in a very nice neighborhood- we enjoyed feeding the turtles and the neighborhood pond, the pool and got lots of use of the hot tub. So many extras that were also a huge benefit….beach toys, beach chairs and great deck space for outdoor relaxation. We would definitely stay at “Life By the Sea” again.

Great week at Life By The Sea

Communication prior to check in was timely and friendly. The house is accurately portrayed in the listing. It is well stocked and well maintained. and the location is great. I reached out to our hosts the first day, and his response was immediate. He even checked in the next day to follow up. Thanks!

Excellent beach vacation

This house is exactly as shown. Very clean and easy check in. Most all amenities were available. We did buy laundry detergent and extra paper towels/TP. All beach necessities are provided sans beach towels (cart, chairs, umbrellas, toys). Just a few houses from the beach! A short drive to the driveable beach access. John was very responsive with any questions about the property. Would recommend for return! Thank you!

Life at the Beach

What a beautiful home! It was spacious, comfortable, impeccably cared-for, and had every amenity we could want. It was steps from the ocean, and the community pool, with a beautiful hot tub on the property. The kitchen was well equipped, and the owner was attentive to every question and could not have been more gracious or accommodating. We loved our stay here, and would love to return. We were walking distance to shops and and the arcade with and our young kids loved feeding the turtles around the corner in the retention pond after dinner every night. We love the OBX, and this rental exceeded our expectations.

Best place we’ve stayed!

This property exceeded our expectations in every way. The home was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The new hot tub was wonderful. There were games, puzzles, and books for guests to use. The community pool was awesome, and the ocean was literally only steps away. We were able to bring our dog which was a huge bonus for us, and she loved laying on the upper deck watching the neighbors walk by. The community is quiet and convenient to shops and restaurants. The owner, John, was super helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!
