This is the second time we have stayed and this year was even better than the last! The kitchen was well equipped for our seafood nights and Terry was such a gracious host. The location was awesome and we really enjoyed sitting in the deck and enjoying the beautiful views of the ocean! We will be back soon:)

The house was perfect for our family of 5 and dog to go on vacation. We even had extra space. Very close to all essentials! Bring your own sheets and cleaning products. 100% would rent here again!

The house was exactly as described and steps from the beach! Our family of nine (four generations ranging from 1 to 84 and two dogs) found that the house was spacious enough and well-appointed.
Communication with the owner was great, and any questions were answered very quickly. Would stay here again!

We loved being so close to the beach that you could see the waves and hear them from the living room!! Very convenient to shopping, gas, and restaurants. Nicely appointed, comfortable house. Would love to come back.

This house is more than a house to us. It’s literally the only place we’ve ever stayed that we’ve had ZERO problems. It’s clean, it’s easy, it’s literally the best. It’s home away from home. Thank you Terry and Gail!

We enjoyed our stay! The area is perfect with a lot of locals that are supper friendly. The beach was not crowded at all! The house has everything you need. Very clean and it’s an easy close walk to the beach. The deck is very nice. We enjoyed sitting out there with our dogs and eating meals out there!! Made our stay awesome! Counting down the days till next trip may even take 2 next year.
The owner is great!! Terry checked in with us just to make sure we were comfortable. Check in & check out very simple! We normally stay at VA beach or Emerald Isle. We will be staying at Kitty Hawk for the future!

When we showed our girls the “pink house” we had rented for vacation, they were extremely excited. That excitement was well-founded! The house is a perfect beach house, where you can want the sunrise from the deck and listen to the waves crash as you fall asleep. The house is extremely well-stocked with plenty of space. It was an extremely relaxing vacation, and we will certainly return to the “pink house” another summer!

We had a great time of a family of 5 staying at this property. The home owner was great at responding back at help with questions we had and when our daughter got sick during the stay. We had a wide open beach during the 4th of July it was amazing!! The easy walk down to the beach from the back deck made it easy to walk back and forth with our kiddos who are 10, 8.5 and 20months if they needed to come back to the house for naps for lunch. Thanks again!!

This bright pink house is a gem! It was nice and clean on arrival. The kitchen is well stocked and the family area was the perfect size for my family. The deck has a gorgeous view of the ocean! The house is on the beach, but now has a dune in front of it because of a Nor’easter that came through in March. There is still access to the beach, but you will have to go up and over it. The beach is beautiful! My dogs had the best time also! There are many restaurants and activities in the area. It’s a great location. Terry is very nice and very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend.

My family and I were excited to be right on the beach with our mother for a vacation together. However on arrival we see there is a dune that needs to be climbed up and over before reaching the beach. This was okay for the kids but NOT what we expected when booking the property and not climbable for our mother. The high dunes were not in the pictures when we booked and there was no communication from Terry regarding the change on the property after booking. Terry's response, "When you booked it wasn't like that. The 5 day Nor'Easter happened the week after Mother's day. I can't control mother nature and the dunes are protected and cannot be disturbed." So our mother was stuck in the house for the week watching everyone from the window or deck. It gets pretty hot on the deck in direct sun so pretty much from the window. After Terry's first response there were days before I heard back on trying to resolve our inconvenience but nothing offered by Terry. Then Terry reviewed me in order to cut down the days for me to review our stay. Disappointed.

We liked the house very much and the location makes it worth every penny. I am recovering from a broken ankle, so the dune we had to go over to the beach was difficult for me. But when I make the reservation, I had not broken my ankle. The pics with the listing though didn't show the dune as big as it is. It was no problem with my family. I would recommend staying here.

This property has a great location and amazing views. The house is complete with more amenities than we used, as we spent most of our time enjoying the sites, restaurants and amazing weather. A true hidden treasure in Kitty Hawk.

We really enjoyed the cute, funky feel of this beach cottage be the sea. Terry has provided everything you need to be comfortable during your stay. It’s worth repeating that as a renter we so appreciate the tidiness of her cottage and her clear, direct messaging. And, You absolutely can’t find more beautiful beaches. The shore birds, pelicans and dolphins were showing off for us every day! Sun rises were particularly stunning and it seemed that every day we experienced fabulous changes in weather patterns. Fun times!

We visited NC from Vermont, and after a week in the Blue Ridge Mountains we headed for our first visit to the Outer Banks. We could not have been more pleased. Everything in the listing is accurate, the location is perfect, the house is well equipped and comfortable. We rented linen from the recommended supplier and that worked out well. Our pup Annie loved to chase the seagulls on the beach in front of the house and chase the waves on our long walks. Kitty Hawk is very dog friendly and it is awesome that she did not need to be on a leash as we visited right after Labor day. We had friends visit from Carolina Beach for a couple of days and there was plenty of room for all, and plenty of activities in the area to keep us all occupied. There are a couple of excellent Restaurants within walking distance and many more a short drive away. Don't miss breakfast at Art's Place! Phenomenal! The first couple of days the No Swimming signs were out due to rip currents created by an offshore hurricane, but watching the more intense waves was worth not swimming. Just sitting on the deck or beach watching the surfers and kite surfers was one of our favorite pastimes. We definitely plan to return.

The house was the perfect setting with the beach front location. We loved the wash accessibility to the ocean and the deck to sit out on and watch the waves. It was a great spot for young kids who need to go in and out of the sun/ocean more frequently.

Perfect location, very well equipped and easy check in, communication. We loved our stay and would rent this home again next time we visit OBX. Can’t beat being right on the beach!

This was the perfect get away for my family. The house had plenty of room, and was very clean. The location was perfect!! You can’t get closer to the beach and it helped out tremendously with 2 small toddlers. We can’t wait to return again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Carolina Conch. We were 4 adults and 2 toddlers (under 2). There was definitely enough space for everyone and it was nice for kids to each be in their own room. Having 3 bathrooms was amazing. The house was very clean and kitchen highly functional with plenty of utensils, plates, cookware, etc. Although we did not have the best weather during our stay, we loved the convenience and access of being right on the beach. The kids also love playing on the enclosed deck. Our only recommendation is to consider updating mattresses (speaking about the King on 2nd floor and Queen on 1st floor) as they felt quit old and very squeaky when moving around. Overall, our stay was great and I would definitely recommend this to others and I would stay here again! Thank you.

This rental is very clean and convenient to restaurants and shopping. The beach was very nice and not crowded. The house has plenty of room for a large family and the kitchen is fully equipped to cook meals. The deck is fantastic with wonderful view of the ocean.

We absolutely loved our week at the Carolina Conch. It was relaxing to be able to hear the ocean and so nice to be right on the beach. Even though the weather was on the cooler side, we enjoyed sitting on the beach. It was nice to be able to bring my dog along too! We enjoyed some beautiful sunrises from the deck during the week and one day saw a rainbow over the ocean after some rain. The house was very clean with a very nice kitchen and Terry was a very responsive host. We really enjoyed the Black Pelican restaurant just down the street. We had a great time, and next time we come to the Outer Banks, we would rent this house again.

We’ve vacationed off and on at OBX for the last 30 years but this is the first time my wife and I have stayed in an oceanfront home. It’s like flying First Class - you can never go back to Coach. Amazing views, especially at sunrise! As others have said, the home is spotlessly clean and comfortable. There is beach access next to the house but it’s not a public access point. According to the owner next door, it’s deeded access for the neighboring homes so the access is limited. I wouldn’t worry about it. I can’t think of any suggestions to improve this house as it’s perfect. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed a week at the property. It was very clean and very nice house. It had everything we needed. Our English Springer was very happy here too. We liked the location but would have liked to not have others access beach beside the house..but really not that big of a deal. Owner was great to work with. Will return one day.

The Carolina Conch was a wonderful beach retreat. The house was very clean and very well equipped with everything we needed to feel right at home. The view from the deck was amazing and the beach was only steps away! Terry was an excellent host and very attentive. We look forward to staying here again soon :)

The Carolina Conch surpassed our expectations. It was clean, well provisioned and cheerful. The layout of bedrooms and baths was perfect for our group of three couples and one child. The location right on the beach was wonderful...so easy to come and go. The best part was the oceanfront deck where we spent many morning, afternoon and evening hours! We definitely hope to return.
