Nice place
Well kept
Everything worked
Great location and straight shot to the beach.
Just the right seclusion so the kids can be noisy without bothering neighbors.

Our vacation was amazing! Your home is beautiful with so many extra details. The location was fantastic. We plan on returning for another OBX vacation. This year was very special because our first grandson 7 months was with us. Next year hopefully we will vacation with our second grandson.

This is our third year for our family beach trip and I can say, we will definitely book this house again.
Host: Jay was amazing throughout the process. He was communicative, detailed, and available when needed. We had a couple questions early on and Jay responded immediately! Thank you Jay for an amazing experience!
House: You cannot ask for better! The house is spacious, laid out well, and recently renovated. There are plenty of beach/pool toys available. The pool was the perfect size for our group and our 7 year old LOVED it! It should be noted that you'll need to bring your own sheets, pillow cases, and towels.
Location: Absolutely perfect, the pictures don't do it justice. The beach access (which you get a parking pass for) is private for residences. We never had trouble finding parking or a spot on the beach. The house is the first house off the road, but when you're inside, you cannot hear the road traffic! In addition, you're only a short distance from Duck! It's nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of Kitty Hawk.
Cleanliness: Overall, the house was in great shape. I marked 4 stars only because there was a bunch of sand in the entrance and in the kids bedroom. In addition, there were still some food crumbs under the kitchen table and in the living room. We were able to clean it up quick enough and I know how hard sand is to get out ;-)
Though we were sad to leave, we are already planning our next booking! Thank you again for an amazing experience!

This was our first time in the OBX. We took our daughter and her family including her two toddlers. “Southern Soul” did exactly what we were hoping it would. Staying at this wonderful house provided a week of incredible, lasting memories for our family. The house was located across the street from the beach. It was about a 7 minute walk total although there is a civic association parking lot in which house guests can use. The house itself was exactly what we needed. There is plenty of space inside as well as multiple areas outside to sit, play games, eat, etc. The private pool was VERY clean and refreshing. There are many pool toys as well as beach items such as chairs and a beach cart. Probably the most appreciated part of this stay was how well the owners communicated answers to a few questions we had prior to arriving as well as a simple one we had once we arrived. My hope is that we can one day stay there again. We are extremely grateful that we were allowed this week with family at “Southern Soul.”. Thank you again, Jay and Lisa.

Southern Soul was the perfect beach house for our family’s vacation. The home is very comfortable; plenty of space, fully stocked kitchen, clean pool. Renovations are looking great. Above all the location was amazing. We wheeled our wagon over to the beach every morning, which was so easy at the street light crosswalk, took no more than 10 mins from house to beach. We rode bikes into town for coffees and ice cream. We’ve stayed at many OBX rentals and this one is our new favorite! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This is the second year our family has stayed at Southern Soul. We love the location! It's walking/biking distance to Duck, the beach access has showers to rinse at which was super helpful with little ones. It's also in the edge of a neighborhood that is great to walk in. They have remodeled the house since we were here last time and it's beautifully decorated and updated. We also love that there is a food pantry which seems like a small thing but a lot of houses we've stayed at before in OBX have nowhere to put food so the counters are cluttered with nowhere to prepare the food. Would definitely recommend this house. The host was very quick to respond to any questions I had.

We really enjoyed this property and it’s location. It was super easy to check in and book. The host does a great job covering all those details. Having a house with a pool close to the beach and duck was a treat. My only constructive feedback is some amenities could really use an update. In our welcome email this was addressed saying it will be done at end of season. I do hope it is. There were only two tvs in the house. One in the main living room and in master. The tv in the master is too small and too far away from bed. It was honestly comical bec the tv was so small it was hard to see. It would be nice for all the bedrooms to have an appropriate size tv. Now should that deter you from booking this house, absolutely not. It was a great property and a great experience overall and I think the host is already on top of this issue or so I hope.
Thank you for our stay.

Our family enjoyed our stay very much! The girls loved the pool and being close to the beach. Thanks for letting us rent your home for the 4th of July. We would like to come back there next year. The dates would be June 29 - July 6th 2024.
Thanks

Property is very convenient to public beach access. The pool is wonderful. You're on the corner of the main drag, so there is traffic noise, but you dont really hear it inside. The light on the corner is nice for being able to make left turns during heavy traffic times. House was nice & had plenty of room for our group of 4. Nicely stocked kitchen too.

We loved the house and location! Even though you are on the main road, it feels more secluded because your nestled in a bunch of trees. You hear the traffic but it still feels private.
The house was clean and nicely decorated. We didn't get to use a lot of the outdoor spaces due to the weather but there are several decks to sit on. Pool was perfect. We would stay here again for sure!

We loved our stay here at Beats Working. The noise of route 12 can sometimes be a bit loud, but the walk to the beach can’t be beat for this price point!! SUPER convenient. Plus you’re in between the main roads of Kitty Hawk and the cramped roads of Duck. In the calm, quiet part. Having the pool was such a wonderful bonus, too. There’s so much space in the house, and it has everything you need, without being cluttered. Wonderful place, wonderful location, wonderful host.

Great place. Beach was close and having the pool was a nice bonus. House was well equipped and very spacious. Very easy check in and NO crazy checkout rules or cleaning demands. We enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed our stay at Southern Shores! The house set up was perfect for my spouse and I, plus our two teens who each brought a friend. It is also conveniently located near many stores. The pool was used daily. And the beach was fantastic! The property is next to Route 12 which was very busy on the weekend but learned to plan our outings around it.
Bill was easy to communicate with and very helpful with our needs.
Thank you for a great vacation!

Overall the place was nice. One of the cleanest houses I have stayed at (even though it could use some dusting). Unfortunately our stay was very rainy and water leaked into the house but the owner/manager was very responsive. The pool was perfect and the light in it at night had my kids amazed. The house is equipped with so much extra stuff. We forgot a few things but it didn’t matter because the house had it. The walk to the beach was very short with lots of frogs and turtles to see. The beach itself is very narrow especially during high tide so it makes it difficult to find a spot for our big family during prime time so we would wait until late afternoon to go. It was our first time staying close to Duck so we had no idea traffic was HORRENDOUS on the weekends. Don’t plan on going anywhere unless you can walk (2 hours for a 6 mile round trip).

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property. The house is located close to the beach access. The description of the amenities is accurate. We enjoyed the private pool! There is some street noise because of the location. We would stay here again.

We had a family vacation - 6 adults, one teen and three children all stay at Beats Working fir a week beach vacation. It was wonderful! The house is in the perfect location - it was easy to bike or walk up into Duck for shopping, food and drinks. The beach is right across the street and it is easy to find parking and the beach is beautiful at all times of day. The house was in great shape and was just as listed. The pool is a great amenity and was a perfect entertainment for the kids. We would definitely go back! (This was our second visit!)

We were pleasantly surprised with this home! Located across the street from a private beach access with loads of parking. The home itself is fully equipped for a complete vacation. Don’t worry if you forget to pack something! All the little things like beach umbrellas, corn hole boards, beach chairs & bikes, sand/pool toys and board games are there and ready for your enjoyment. We were also pleasantly surprised with the well stocked kitchen. The host communicated promptly and the property is exactly as shown on the website.

This was a great experience communication with the owner excellent, check-in was easy and the home is in beautiful neighborhood in the Outer Banks. The home was spacious and comfortable. We were a party of 6 and it was perfect. The pool was awesome and the beach was like a block away and private. Close to so many great attractions and restaurants. Loved the town of Duck!! Thanks to the owners for sharing your home. I would love to stay there again. Thank You from the Fosters & friends.

My family of eight enjoyed spending time together at the house. It was conveniently located to all attractions including the beach. There are a lot of steps to climb and the home is not handicapped accessible which is as advertised. The pool is nice after a long hot day of sightseeing. Overall the home was in good shape but could use a deep cleaning. The home owner was accessible either by phone or text and I was thankful for that.

Great place. Had a little trouble with the key code upon arrival but Bill was quick to return my call with a new one. House is slightly outdated but was very clean. Great proximity to beach and walking trail. Pool was great. Pool guy stopped by mid week to test levels. All in all a great stay. Would stay here again!

Check in was not smooth. The door code given did not open the door. Getting ahold of the owner took some time but we finally connected and a new door code was given. We found several cockroaches in the house, including in our daughters bed. The weather was pretty lousy as there was a tropical storm over us for five of the six days. The fishing trip we booked was cancelled as a result. Most stores were still closed due to covid19.
Overall not the best vacation we have ever had.
