Got this place as a birthday present for my daughters 40th. My oldest daughter came in from Texas and she surprised me with my great grandson coming also. We saw the lighthouses, walked Manteo boardwalk, went to kitty hawk and lots of shops. Of course had to go to the beach and get shells. There is a public access to the right that was perfect for sunset pictures. So centrally located and an amazing price.

Communication with the owner was great - she was very accommodating with regard to early arrival and late departure, which we really appreciated! The home was nicely laid out - perfect for our family and particularly our kids when they wanted their own space. The game room in the basement was the best! And having a fenced backyard for our pup was perfect, with easy access down a set of stairs from the primary bedroom. I don't think the house can reasonably be considered "walking" distance to the beach if you have kids, as the street to cross to get to the beach is SUPER busy (and we were there at an off-time, so it would be even busier at peak times)!! That being said, if you don't have kids, it may be manageable - there is a crosswalk to cross the main street to Target and then you can follow the road to a beach access point. Regardless, it was a quick drive to get to the beach and an easy, close access point with maybe 4-5 parking spots that worked for us (there were access points a bit north with more parking, e.g., for busier times). Otherwise, the location of the house is fine - felt safe and was pretty quiet - it was a nice walk the other direction to the sound, too! If we were staying at OBX solely for the beach, I might prefer a spot closer with more easy access for the beach, but this home was perfect for driving/exploring OBX and coming back to sleep/relax!

Cute, beach home that was clean and made use of all the space very well! Property owner was communicative and accommodating as we were traveling with a little one! They even included a guest info book with fun things to do. 10/10 would stay again!

Our family enjoyed staying at the house for a quick weekend getaway. The place was clean and larger than we expected. We didn’t realize that linens were not provided, but we got a quick response message and were able to sort it out. It was very nice to have the fenced backyard for our dog. Would definitely recommend just don’t forget your own sheets!

Everything was great! We enjoyed the game room and the fenced in backyard was perfect for our dog.

The property was as described and in a great location. There is lots of room in the house and a fenced yard which was great for our dogs. The house was a great place to relax after exploring OBX during the day. There was great communication with the host.

My friends and I went for a girls weekend and had such a great time! Easy check in and plenty of space for everyone. Will definitely keep this as one of our places to stay. Thank you for sharing your piece of OBX with us!

This home is exactly as advertised and more. We traveled with our two dogs and the fenced in area was perfect. Beach access was a short drive. The house was very clean and had all the essential, including a Keurig. Lori was very responsive and helpful. The house was close to everything and we were so lucky to find this place that was dog friendly.

Let’s me first point out how nice the owners of the property were. They were very accommodating and even let us check in early. But traffic had a different idea. Secondly the house was huge you can fit a lot of people in this home and i hope anyone can see why we immediately picked this home. Definitely will go here again!!

There is a very busy highway, and I mean very busy that you would have to cross to get over to the other side to continue your walk to the beach. If memory serves me correctly the listing says you can walk to the beach. There was another reviewer who mentioned you have to drive. But no information was given in the rental about where you can park. So I had to ask the owner. There was some difficulty with communicating with the owner who only wanted to communicate on this platform perhaps because that is what owners are told they need to do? I asked for a cell phone number so we could text each other which would have saved some time since this platform wasn't working costing us extra time just to get the code. Finally, once in the rental I found the owner's number on the printed material there and from there we were able to text each other without an issue. The problem is that the online platform is not consistent with connection, whereas texting is. Please be prepared to bring filtered water because the municipal water in this location must have a lot of chlorine in it. It made me nauseous. We had stayed at a rental in Kitty Hawk with the same issue. My feeling is that owners of rentals really should get some kind of whole house water filter for guests. It would make the stay so much more enjoyable and healthier. Just washing my hair in this water made it so tacky. Not even a conditioner was much help. Just be prepared for that. The house itself is very nice. Beautiful hardwood floors and the master bedroom has a beautiful light coming in from the coral curtains! Very calming! And the back door in the master bedroom goes directly to the fenced in yard which was very convenient especially late at night when our dogs wanted to go out. I did see two weaks spots in the fence that should be repaired. You have to go down into the yard to see this. One area is on one corner where one of the pickets isn't there and tiles have been put there to "patch up" the bottom part. Then I noticed in another corner there is a gap between one of the fence supports and the edge of house. This gap would be large enough for a very small dog to get through, as would the openings between the pickets on the gate. So if you have a very tiny dog you need to watch out! Our smallest dog is 20 lb and she could not fit through those openings but it's always a good rule of thumb to be down in the yard with your dogs to keep an eye out.

We loved this place! Such a nice open layout and so very clean. The game room was really cool. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We loved having a fenced in yard for our dogs and it was nice to sit out on the front porch. The sound was some blocks away but it was a nice walk to a beautiful sunset. Definitely have to drive to the beach bc it’s hard to walk across the busy street. It’s super close to the food lion, duck donuts, and a yummy bagel place! Hosts were very helpful. Would stay again!

Great stay with plenty of room to spread out or gather together.
