Peaceful Retreat
We loved this house. The neighborhood is peaceful and being right on the canal was a plus. The guys loved it because they could fish in the back yard. The ladies loved just relaxing on the back porch while making fun of the guys fishing....lol. We watched deer walk in the neighbors yard and also saw an eel in the canal. We bought food and cooked at home. The kitchen amenities were perfect. We loved it!!!

Awesome cottage on the canal
We had a great time during our stay. The cottage was clean, easy to get to, and had all the amenities we needed for a week stay. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again in the future.

Great OBX Getaway!
The check-in process was very easy and when we arrived to the community where the property is located, the person at the gate was super helpful and friendly. Everything was as described and each room was in great condition. The back deck had comfortable furniture and access to kayaks, a paddle board, the canal, and a hot tub. We got great pics of the sunset and enjoyed relaxing outside occasionally during our stay. We had a few tiny issues that were likely caused by the owners updating the property like having the toilet paper holder fall off in the half bath and some midges getting in from an upstairs window needing caulking (we came when they tend to be active in OBX), but when I communicated this, the hosts immediately responded and offered to fix things right away. We didn't take up the offer since we weren't staying too long and they really weren't problems that affected us in any meaningful way. I used to work in service (now I'm in healthcare) and I know how hard people can be to please and how hard we try anyway so I always try to give grace and not be a pain.We were so happy to have a safe, friendly community to stay in with close access to everywhere we wanted to go (up to Duck, around Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, and down to Nag's Head and Manteo) with a hot tub waiting for us to relax in when we got "home".It was me, my husband, teen, and two middle school boys, one of whom said this was his favorite family trip. Thanks to our hosts for a fantastic time!
