We loved everything about this home- it’s proximity to the beach and shopping, the privacy of the backyard and pool, and the house itself- beautifully decorated, spacious kitchen great for preparing family meals, bedrooms with their own private baths, and beautiful decks w/ lovely views to enjoy with the nighttime breeze. Our family loved every minute!

This was our family's first trip to the Outer Banks all together. We found this house a year ago and couldn't wait to go. Check in was super easy. Kitchen fully stocked. Suggestion-bring some drink ice to get you started and then just fill the trays. We needed a cocktail!! Seating was great-so many places to eat inside and out. So much space for everyone to relax. Hammock was perfect for relaxing. Wifi worked great. Pool was perfect. Trees made it so private. SOOOOOO many pool toys! All the beach toys, bikes, boards, etc you would ever need. The wagon was a huge help. Kids LOVED the game room and they could play without anyone else hearing the noise. Location was perfect. 3 miles south of Duck (covered bike paths great for biking, walking and running) and maybe a mile (not even) north of the 158/12 split off. Such a great location for getting to all parts of the Banks. Miranda was a super host. Very helpful and responsive. We loved it so much, we are going back next year!

This is a great property for a family vacation. The house is located on a quiet, secluded street just a few minutes easy walk to the beach. We had bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone, and the pool is a welcome respite from the beach at times. We highly recommend it.

This was our families first time renting this home. We had plenty of room to spread out. Enough bedrooms and baths for the 7 of us to stay. Lots of outdoor deck areas to enjoy. Loved having the hot tub and pool for the times the weather wasn’t great to go to the beach. Very convenient short walk to the beach. The Kitchen had all the supplies you would need if you decide to cook. We had a very nice time, and we would consider staying again in the future.

Lovely house in a great location. The hot tub and pool are nice for when you’re done with the beach for the day. Kitchen was well equipped.

Our stay was wonderful! The house was just as advertised and much more. Plenty of room for all of us and very clean. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need. Easy walk to the beach and lots to keep kids entertained. The owner was wonderful to work with! We will for sure be back to the OBX!

Awesome

This was our families first visit to OBX, and it was fantastic. Miranda was an excellent host- super responsive and helpful with all of our questions. The house fit our family with lots of room to spare, and was perfectly located a short walk to the beach, a quick ride to the convenient stores in Kitty Hawk, and close to duck’s quaint downtown. We would definitely stay here again, and look forward to our next visit to OBX! Thank you for hosting us Miranda!

House was beautiful with a quick walk to the beach! All all the necessary kitchen items for great family dinners. A bathroom for each bedroom was a nice rough as well! Owners were very accommodating and created a great home away from home!

The house was beautiful, exceeded all expectations! Loved sitting on the upper deck in the morning sun. Walk to the beach was easy! Will definitely return! One call out for others - the house has a lot of stairs so may not be the best for those with mobility issues. And watch out if you bring your dog, our little guys kept stepping on little burs/prickers that were all over the pathways. And they are sharp! But we loved the house and the location!

This was one of our most favorite OBX rentals ever. The house was just beautiful -- very well appointed, comfortable in every way. Beds, furniture, layout, seating options... all added to a very enjoyable vacation. Lots of items in the kitchen, which is great for us since we do a lot of our own cooking one vacation. (However, we did enjoy a few dinners in Duck and caught some incredible sunsets while dining!) Super convenient and easy walk to the beach, and we enjoyed the pool and hot tub afterward. We've bookmarked this house and would love to come back.

Family trip. We had a great time both at the beach and hanging out by the pool and jacuzzi. Wry clean and had everything we needed. Very private location, off the main road, but still close to the beach and shops. Miranda (the owner) was great. We loved it!

First the good : great upper deck, great pool, good kitchen, good great room, quiet neighborhood with deer and rabbits, easy to get out onto NC 12 Now the bad : the closets are small, bath has no place to store shampoo etc, poor flooring installation with stair treads being trip hazard, ahrubberry is overhrown making house hard to find on first visit, priced 20 - 25 % too high, covered porch is not screened but still good to get out of sun, gate on top deck is too heavy for hinges and is sagging I would not rent again.

Excellent house and excellent location. Tons of space for 10 people with plenty of house/decks to spread out. On my watch I timed the walk to the beach, from stepping off of the patio to cresting the dunes took 3m and 3s and that was with kids, 7 beach chairs and cooler in tow so the walk is short. There’s a secluded path for half the walk then you walk on a road and then on a poured walkway up to the dunes of which there is a very nice set of stairs up and over the dunes. The road is not at all busy as we might have been passed by 4 cars while walking on that road for the entire week. The bikes provided with the house have been eaten alive by the salt; 3 were in decent/working condition; the rest ranged from buckets of rust to inoperable. This is the best set of dishes/pots/pans/cooking appliances we’ve had while staying at a rental. With 10 people, “normal” sized pans/bowls won’t do. The mixing bowls/pots/pans were all oversized and in excellent shape. The place was great and would definitely stay here again.

The house was beautiful, nice pool and hot tub, short walk to the beach. We were close to Duck.

The house is exactly as described. Very clean, conveniently located near many restaurants, 5min walk to the beach, and just an overall fantastic stay. We look forward to staying here again!

We loved the house and the location. 3 families (10 people total) with more than enough room! Pool and hot tub were key and a very short walk to the beach. If we come back to OBX (which we’d love to do) we will definitely try for this house again!

We had an awesome stay at Willem's Beach House! With all of the amenities and literally a fully stocked kitchen, it was truly like being in your own home. The house, which is situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, is only a short walk from the beach. It was great to have the pool after a hot day on the beach. Having an ensuite bathroom for each of the bedrooms was key and much appreciated by our family. We very much enjoyed our time together in this beautiful house!

Photos do not do this property justice. The house is so beautiful indoors and outdoors. Very clean, comfortable beds, and plenty of seating inside and out for a large group. All bedrooms open up to the decks which are surrounded by trees and each have a bathroom (hooray for that!!!). The house offers privacy outside and so much space inside as well that the 4 adults and 3 teenagers in our group could easily be alone when we wanted. The walk to the beach is about 3 minutes. The beach… it is private so there is a lot of space right over the dune entry point. People are pretty spread out so you could not hear those nearest to you talking, which was my first time experiencing that and it was amazing. Early mornings and evenings were also a great time to pop over to the beach with just me and my dog (leashed dogs allowed before 9am and after 6pm) - so peaceful and serene. And don’t forget to go surf fishing! And eat at Steamers - great food and service! The pool, the hot tub, outdoor shower… everything about this place was perfect for us. I can’t think of one negative except I wish I had booked a longer stay. Do yourself a favor - experience something beautiful and scoop up this OBX gem!

Willems' Beach House was well equipped for our large family. Plenty of room to gather together as well as space for people to have some quiet time. The house had everything we needed with lots of nice touches (decor, games, tvs, etc.). The house was a quick and easy walk to the beach with a private path to Ocean Blvd. When the beach was too hot, we enjoyed the private pool and spending some time in the hot tub after a run or at the end of the day. Miranda was responsive to my questions prior to the trip and checked in on us after we checked-in. Highly recommend this house!

The house was perfect and the location was two minutes from the wedding venue on the beach. Worked out perfectly including great weather.

The weather was awful but we had a great time anyway. The house is well-appointed and comfortable, and the location is fabulous. The house has a nice "buffer zone" and I imagine even in high season is still very private. Due to the terrible weather, we couldn't use the pool, but the pool area is quite lovely and the hot tub was fabulous when we were able to use it. The owner was very responsive and completely gracious about a bit of an accident. We hope to return again soon!

Title says it all. Great space for our whole family to hang out, the backyard with the pool and hot tub is wonderful, and only a 90-second walk to the beach. House was exceptionally clean and owner was very responsive and helpful.

Great location. House is spacious and comfortable. Loved the private pool and spa. Could use better/better quality linens, a new, larger grill and a dedicated grilling space. But overall, very pleased. My family had a great time.

House is beautiful and property owners are great to work with! Would definitely recommend and hope to return soon.

We enjoyed our stay in the outer banks and loved how we were close to Duck & Corolla while not far from Orcacoke for a day trip. Miranda was very responsive to messages and helpful in many ways. I would recommend her property. There were 3 families, 10 people total. Quick walk to the beach and everyone enjoyed the hot tub too.

Nice house. As pictured. The pet odor when you enter is very strong. The house was comfortable and most of our needs were met (could use a can opener). Good location only a few short blocks to the beach.

The house was lovely, excellent beds and kitchen and water pressure. Quick and very pretty walk to the ocean and a nice ocean view. The only negatives were poor lighting in some of the bedrooms and sandy floors. The owner couldn’t have been nicer.

Great hosts and great house to stay in. Very close to the beach and it has a pool and hot tub. House has 5 bedrooms and plenty of space on the deck to hang out. Fully stocked kitchen and includes all the amenities like surf boards, paddles boards, bikes, chairs, games, plenty of space and kayaks. You can't get any better than this. We are so glad we found this gem in Kitty Hawk. We would highly recommend this location because it's close to everything including the beach. Thanks Miranda for such a great stay and for being an amazing host.

The perfect house for our group! Everyone had their own bedrooms and the kids stayed entertained with the pool and the short walk to the beach. The 3 level deck was utilized every morning, afternoon, and evening whether it was morning coffee, naps on the hammock or enjoying the evening breeze off of the ocean. We were so close to any grocery store or restaurant we could have needed and will definitely be back!

We were there for a week. Location was perfect. Only a 5 min walk to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!

We had a great time staying in Southern Shores! The house was a perfect size with ample king bedrooms and bathrooms for 6 adults and 2 kids. All beds were comfortable! House was clean and owner was very attentive. Lots of room for family dinners and game nights. Beautiful views from the decks. The house was a short walk to the beach. The only downside to the beach access was the hike over the dune trying to haul all of our beach stuff onto the beach. There was not a ramp (like we are used to at other beaches) so it was very difficult to try to haul the carts and canopy over the dune, however we ended up unloading at the steps as it looks like others did as well. Didn't stop us from getting to the beach each day!
