Our family and college friends and their children had a great time at this property. The views of the sunset were awesome from the roof deck and all of the amenities around the house were great. We had one small issue with missing linens/bathmats during our trip that was resolved quickly by the host. Thanks to Carter and Kristen for sharing their home with us.

Beautiful, spacious, well maintained home. Plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms for the eight in our family. Super nice kitchen. The pool is great and provided hours of entertainment for the four kids (ages 9 to 18) and four adults. Good location for all OBX activities including beaches, restaurants, and shopping. We had a very enjoyable stay! Owner is kind, helpful, and cordial.

The Benes’s were amazing hosts! Very responsive before our stay and during our stay. The house was very clean and updated. They also provided the basics for us (hand soaps, dish soaps, dishwasher pods, few trash bags, laundry pods, TP, paper towels, etc) so that we didn’t have to rush off to the store right away. The house was also stocked with tons of beach chairs, beach towels, umbrellas, toys, etc all of our use! The neighborhood was so quiet and close to everything, we felt so safe here. We found multiple public beach access points a short drive away. Most beach houses you rent come BARE with buy or bring everything with you vibes but not when you stay here! The house came with so much already I wish we had packed less!! Thank you so much to the Benes family for making our beach vacation so spectacular! We hope to be back again in the future 😊

The house was amazing. Very accommodating. Plenty of furniture everywhere! Beds were great! Good views. Excellent location! Kids and everyone loved it. I’m sure we will be back!

From the moment we booked this home, we have had nothing short of great communication with Carter and Kristen. They made the check in/check out process very easy, and were in contact during the week to ensure we were having a great stay and always responded promptly to any questions we asked. Their home is beautifully decorated and in a fabulous location close to lots of beaches, shopping, ice cream places, mini-golf spots and even escape rooms. The house is filled with just about anything you could ever need (and more!) and was perfect for our family of 6 (including an infant.) I have already recommended staying at Life Off The Leash to many of our friends looking to stay in OBX!

The house was exactly how it was advertised and very modern. There were so many activities at the house to do for our family. Pool is amazing and it is a very short walk to the beach. The house also has amazing views of the sound.

A great stay! Our group included four teenage boys (12-16) and 4 adults including an octogenarian. There was something for everyone - we enjoyed the pool every day, kayaking on the sound, ping-pong, hoops, stargazing, and just relaxing on the wraparound decks. Kitchen is large and well-equipped and everything was sparkling clean. Definitely a '10'.

Our stay at this beach house was wonderful. From the time we got there to the time we left the owners were there every step of the way with any questions that we had. There was a book there that listed places to see and eat, if you have never been to the area. The house was beautiful and very clean. The huge pool was wonderful for the kids. I could not have asked for a better place to stay. You can drive or walk to the beach. We did both. The walk was about 15 minutes, not bad at all. The house is a 5-minute walk to ice cream shops, restaurants, etc. It is the perfect place to go to get away and has plenty of room. You can ride bikes down to the shops or around the neighborhood. It was very relaxing. Golfing, go kart racing and ziplining are right down the street. There is also a theatre to go to during a rainy day. The aquarium is only a 30-minute ride down in Manteo. There is also a water slide park 20 minutes down the road as well. The bay is the other direction and walking distance as well. It is by far the best vacation rental ever. It is the perfect distance to everything. Thank you for letting us stay at your beach house.
