Great house..very well-equipped w/everything you'd have at home (wife says a rack to drain dishes and real cloth dish towels would have been nice, not those microfiber ones). Beds were comfortable and bedrooms roomy. Close to all the attractions and restaurants.Had a great time.

Great stay at the Outer Banks!

This was a great home for our family of five. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach, restaurants, and being in a central location in the outer banks which allowed exploring many attractions. Eating as a family on the porch and lounging in the swing were favorites for us all! We would definitely rent here again.

Perfectly within walking distance of everything!

My husband, stepmom, and I stayed for a whole week and totally enjoyed not having to drive for the majority of the time. The beach and lots of great restaurants are within walking distance. We also enjoyed the decks, with the lower one providing a nice shady spot during the day and the upper deck providing a great place to see the stars.

Perfect stay for 2 couples, comfortable beds, 2 full baths. Short walk to the beach, however we usually drove to restaurants and other places of interest due to many along busy highway. Host was extremely prompt with communications which was very helpful with questions, check-in, etc. We appreciated the restaurant and places of interest he recommended. Loved all of the family pics placed throughout the house and the feeling of a family friendly space.Beautiful spaces to sit outdoors, when weather not beach friendly.
