The beds were comfy, the towels fluffy, and the water pressure was great. The kitchen was impressively stocked with almost everything you could need for at home cooking of meals (no crockpot, so bring yours if you need it). I had a 2 yr old who managed the stairs just fine and spent his indoor time playing with mega blocks on the living room table or in the bunk bed room. The bath tub was great for kid baths and the kitchen is naturally difficult for kids to open doors or drawers - so mostly kid proofed. The location to Duck eateries was great and the walk to the beach was so easy - plus we saw deer every single morning and most nights on our walks. Harris Teeter and Walmart are very close by for groceries. The tap water is terrible tasting (actually terrible), so bring bottled water or jugs of water to make your own ice and to drink. If you are a light sleeper, bring a noise machine for night since it is right off the coastal hwy it can be loud. Coming from Baltimore City, it was pretty tame for us and we slept alright.

Very clean and well-supplied property. Hosts were very accommodating and communicated well with us. Great location - central to everything

Smaller home appropriate for a family

We experienced a lovely stay at Henry's Castle. With an easy walk to the beach for "Small Loads" and a quick drive for the days when we packed a lot of goodies, this was a perfect location. The parking pass for multiple locations was very helpful and the beaches nearby were great. When arriving we had an easy check-in with a door code. There was a nice welcome manual to help us know a little about the house and the local area. I love all the outdoor seating area and the covered picnic table. The kitchen had all the supplies, plates, and appliances needed. Overall the space was very comfortable and welcoming with towels on each bed for our arrival. The extra touches of a few movies and games was nice to have. If you come here I recommend checking out the marina park, I forget the name, but it was a quick drive or good walk away and a nice park on the Sound Side. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet while also offering a great walking area. The location was perfect to get to Duck with a quick drive or about a 2 mile walk if you have the time and want some extra exercise. The host and hostess were quite nice and responsive to our questions ahead of the trip and provided good details upon arrival to help us get settled. We had an unexpected emergency with our dog and they helped us with a later check-out which was so amazingly helpful since I was unable to get back to house from the vet until midnight or so the night before our departure. We'd stay again! Thanks!!

This property was perfect for our family vacation! There are 5 of us, but it will comfortably accommodate 7. The house was better than pictured. Everything was very clean & we walked to the beach every day. Also loved how close we were to Duck, as this area is not nearly as congested as some of the other areas of Outer Banks. The outdoor shower is perfect to spray off after the beach & the screened in patio area is great for dinner. We loved everything about this house & would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to this area!

Two adults and four kids (ages 10-14) thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The easy walk to the beach was perfect for evenings. When we had all our beach gear, we really appreciated the included parking passes that made a day at the beach so easy. Great location, great extras for the kids, great star gazing from the roof. Would stay again!

My family had a great week in southern shores. The property was great with everything we needed and the games room went down amazing with the kids . Thank you

Great OBX location central to all we wanted to see and do. Loved the retro furnishings, spacious and one of the cleanest rental houses we've stayed in with everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

Excellent

Everything was great! Location, space, access to the beach. Place had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again next time in OBX!

This was the perfect place to stay while we attended a wedding. Beach access was close. The hammock was a nice surprise!

The house was exactly as described. Very comfortable, clean, and within a short walk to the beach. Would love to stay there again! Thank you!
