The house was in a great location, with an ocean view from the balcony. The AC and internet worked great. I truly appreciated having beach chairs, an umbrella, sand toys, and paper products available for our family at the house upon our arrival. Linens and towels were clean. The host was quick to respond to all questions. OBX is a family-oriented, friendly, and laid-back town.

Wonderful Stay!

Home was just as described in listing, and met our needs well for our trip. It is a very easy walk to the beach. We found the on site beach equipment very handy as we didn't have to pack beach chairs, boogie boards or toys for the kids. Communication with the owner was always prompt, helpful and kind.

Great family home

The house was beautiful and spotless and was supplied with everything we needed while away from home. The layout was perfect for us and our three children. The little touches of board games, beach toys, and other beach gear was super helpful. The walk to the beach was convenient and made beach days easy. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend!

We loved our stay!

This house was beautiful and VERY clean. It was a short walk across the street to the beach and 10 minute drive to plenty of great restaurants and bars. You can feel the breeze from the ocean and watch the waves. We were staying with our 15 month old and the owners took the time to baby proof! We really appreciated that and he had a great time while we didn’t have to worry. Highly recommend.

This was the best location ever. The house had all we needed to include linens, towels, kitchen items. We loved being able to walk to the beach and back to the house with our 8 month old. The outdoor shower was amazing and so useful. We had our dog as well but we had to be careful with the wild cactus on the property. Wish we could have stayed longer!
