Paradise view of Intercoastal from beautiful Deck.
Property is located in a perfect location. Lots of Sunsets and beautiful mornings looking at the water, sailboats and natural beauty of Carolina sky. The House is as beautiful and practical. The owners were very thoughtful of their visitors needs. Outstanding stay

The Yard!!!
We had a great time and enjoyed our stay at the Irish River. The fenced yard was amazing. The sunsets were incredible. Called the management company on the second day to ask how to access the cable. No return call. When I called back two days later the person I spoke with was wonderful and resolved the issue quickly. Would definitely go back!

Happy about our stay
The property was as advertised. It was neat, clean and well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and recommend it for others. A warning however; the picture of the ramp to the front door is misleading. It is quite steep. It worked OK for us b/c we had some young folks to help. But a group of only older people relying on the ramp would have a problem.

A slice of Sound Serenity
Our vacation was extremely lovely. The big floor to ceiling windows were a phenomenal surprise. How wonderful to wake up and see that beautiful water from my pillow. It was great for young adults as my son and his friend enjoyed walking the neighborhood and sitting out on the water deck watching the sound. All we needed were some kayaks or paddle boards! Our dogs were also extremely grateful for the fence and the beautiful view and the pet friendly home. Keyless entry would be a wonderful addition given that the keys need to be taken back out to the office at check out which can get in the way if you want to go explore Outer Banks more before you head out. We had a lovely time and felt very comfortable. Thank you!

Beautiful sound front relaxation
This is a great place! I loved walking in the door to a great view and fresh smell, as there was no mustiness at all. The kitchen was very well supplied. The king mattress was quite firm but supportive and my usually sensitive hips and backs were happy. The decor throughout was cheerful and comfortable. There is a blu ray player but no DVDs that I could find. Loved the fenced backyard for the doggy. Loved the deck (fantastic sunsets) and also the swinging bench below the deck. It is a bit of a drive to get out to the main road but we didn’t mind. I would stay here again!

Great house, great view
Loved waking up to water views every day and the house was perfect for our family. Wish it wasn’t such a drive to the pool or public beaches, but overall a great experience!

Peace on the Sound in the Middle of the Outer Banks
Loved the fact that the owners welcomed our well behaved dogs and had an ideal back yard for them. Beautiful views, peaceful and quiet location, with nearby access to the hustle and bustle that is Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, and Nags Head. Back Deck was heavenly. Also appreciated that the entry was by a ramp instead of stairs -- made it much easier to get suitcases etc in and out of the home.
