My group had an amazing stay the Best Buoy! It was exactly what we were looking for - spacious, clean, close to the beach, close to Publix, close to bars/restaurants, and importantly, the property manager was extremely helpful. I would recommend this location for anyone looking for a great spot to stay in the Outer Banks!

We had a great stay and have saved this house to book again in the future. Our only tiny complaint was there was no Tupperware for packing up leftovers. Can’t wait to visit again

When we read 1350 ft to the beach it was a little deceiving on our part. It was not at all like walking 1 block to the beach. You have to think about just how far 1350 ft is. A little over a quarter mile, while lugging all of your beach gear. And we didn't do that. Other than that, We had a great time, and we are considering renting the same property again in the future.
