Great location. Close to everything. We didn’t cook while there, but it looked like they had every pot and pan you could need. Indoor temp is controlled by owner remotely. He responds very quickly to a text request to change the temp. Simple enough. Great value, too. Can’t find these rates anywhere nearby. Hosts are friendly and respond quickly to any questions.

Great location made for close access to Oregon Inlet for fishing. Close to several restaurants for dining. Spent both evenings on the back deck. Kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Cottage is located just off the beach Road for easy access to everything it allows for privacy.

Communication with owner was great, however house could use some serious repair. Looks like there is water damage on the walls, wall panels are bowing. Bed was too soft for our comfort. Did not feel comfortable using grill because it is bolted to the deck and was not cleaned. Was worried about grill being so close to the house due to fire hazard.

Feels like a home. It is outdated as others have said but i actually love that. We had 5 adults and 3 children. Everyone had plenty of space. Short walk to beach. Back porch is pretty secluded. The wildlife reserve behind the home keeps it private.this was our second stay. Would stay again

This is the third year in a row that we have stayed here. Lots of space for everyone to spread out and three showers to choose from when you come in from the beach. The house is at the end of the road so it is very private. It’s a quick walk to the beach and it was never too crowded at our access point. There are piers 1 mile to the north and south. The location is close to everything but still manages to feel remote.

Very comfortable home. Didn’t appear that the home was cleaned well when we checked in. One of the shower head and handles were broken. Had to tighten the other one to keep water from spraying all over the walls.

Awesome Location

Finding a quiet rental on Bodie Island that's still close to the restaurants and activities in Nags Head and KDH can be a real challenge, but this property threads the needle! Space is perfectly suited for a family of 3-5, and the well stocked kitchen was particularly appreciated. Back deck is nice and private feeling which is tough to manage in this area. Hope to stay here again on a future trip!

Disappointing

The house shows many signs of wear and tear and needs a deep cleaning. Holes in vinyl floors, many carpet stains, throw pillow and blanket stains, hole in wall, dirty kitchen windows, torn screens, bathroom mold on shower curtains and toilet cleaning utensils, dog poo in yard, cockroach bug in bathroom, outside furniture and grill too rusty to use. Owner was receptive and thankful to my comments but nothing done during our stay.Gorgeous sunsets, central location, sufficient dinnerware and linens.

Disappointing stay

We were greatly excited to take a family vacation with our four kids to the OBX; however, we were greatly let down by the condition of the home and the lack of the owner’s willingness to compensate us with a partial refund when the home was not ready to be rented out in the first place. For instance, we noticed a food stain on the kitchen counter, a hair lying on a clean towel, a strong bad odor in the upper room (which had fans running in it as though someone was attempting to air it out), horrible stains and even a piece of trash on the pullout sofa bed mattress, very large spider webs behind the kitchen curtains, smooshed bugs on the walls, a broken and unusable shower handle, a messy silverware drawer, dirty windows, and a broken trash can lid (plus an old cheerio below the lid). After pulling out the sofa bed mattress for a second night and noticing mouse droppings on it, we decided we no longer wanted to remain. We left after two nights (despite booking for seven nights). While the owners offered to send housekeeping, this was not a satisfactory resolution for us, as we traveled a distance to stay in a house we were expecting to be clean, not to spend part of our vacation with a housekeeper or handyman at our location (nor did it make us feel more comfortable about the overall cleanness of the place when it looked like it did in the first place). We did request a partial refund; however, we were disappointed that this was not provided after such a negative experience.
