We had a wonderful week at this house. Everything was very clean and modern. I felt like VIP with my third floor balcony off the master bedroom. The house is right on the beach, and the pool and hot tub were great for the kids. The older kids loved the theatre room and chasing the crabs at night. We had a slight issue with the air conditioning on the third floor (no ones fault) but Laurie was SUPER responsive all week long and had it fixed for us as soon as humanly possible. She was all over the maintenance people. The guys even stayed late to fix it. The house had everything we needed including huge pots and pans for big family dinners. We want to come back next year! Thank you Laurie!

We wanted to love this place, but there were too many negatives that outweighed the positives. Lets start with what was positive: - ocean view, ocean view, ocean view - simply lovely - bathrooms remodeled and updated - main living space open concept and plenty of room for our 23 members of the family. -Laurie, property manager, perhaps owner, was sympathetic to the many issues. I spent more time texted her for several days than I wanted on a "vacation". Negatives - We left a day early, 3 days without air conditioning on the main level, it got to 87 degrees inside and sleeping was really bad the first night. First two days, no air ... we had window units in and out ... lots of work people in and out. - Cleaners were there for 40 minutes. it is a big house and it was not clean. Sand inside was underneath feet. - The outside deck was very old and some deck boards / railings very unsafe. They sent more service folks to re-nail old boards, sure up wobbling railings ... the whole deck needs to be replaced around the pool. We would not let my 82 year old mother out on the deck for fear she would trip on the splintered and lifting boards. - Outside was dirty, dirty, dirty ... sand box was gross, glad we didn't have kids who wanted to play in it, no one serviced the outside. We had to put water in the pool and all of it is very dated. - For the cost for a week ... definitely not worth the money. - Dirty sheets from prior guests were never picked up, they left clean towels in a trash bag outside. Sheets on beds were super rough ... and no extra pillow cases for the pillow in the closet. Overall, the place needs better management and maintenance.

This is a very nice property! It had everything we needed and provided a wonderful location for our family reunion and vacation. The owners were responsive and easy to communicate with. We hope to do it again in the future!

The house was everything we expected it to be. Very clean and everything was in working order. The property owner was very kind and helpful when ever we had a question. They sure helped in pulling off my wife's special birthday surprise. Thank you very much. We will definitely stay here again next time. 5 Stars !!

We had a wonderful time at this property. Location was perfect. Right on the beach and not too remote from stores. The owners were very responsive to our inquiries and request and wer a pleasure to deal with.

We could not have wanted more in a vacation home. The house was beautifully decorated. The atmosphere was so inviting and comfortable!! Views of the ocean was phenomenal. My daughter decided to get married while we were there. It was the perfect place for what we called Wedding Week! The house was well equipped! The owners responded promptly to a couple small unforseen issues and they were resolved quickly. We had a wonderful experience making memories that will last a lifetime. We plan to return in the future.

The house had everything we needed and more! We loved our days at the beach and the pool and our nights by the firepit with kids in the theater!

Amazing hosts

Chock full of amenities, Family Tides offers a perfect spot to get together with family of all ages. We were there with 5 generations of family, and we had the space to cook/eat, swim, play cards, bask, and most importantly laugh. The owner was easily reachable and very responsive to any and all questions that arose.

Great property great location-definitely reflects the wear and tear of hosting large groups (maintenance is lacking)

Beautiful house, perfect location, never "wished" for anything that wasn't readily available and stocked, responsive and clear communication from owners. This week together was exactly what we needed.

Indoor & outdoor furniture is worn, torn, beaten & stained. Outside walls, ledges, & windows need cleaning & bug treatment in order to make all decks attractive to use. One bedroom was not used because of the bugs inside. The pool should be regularly vacuumed. The pool edging needs maintenance. The grill needs to be cleaned. We incurred a grease fire. The beach & view were spectacular! Having the boardwalk to the beach right next to the house was PERFECT! The owners couldn’t have been nicer!

Incredible house with all you need for a big family with small kids. We have ages 8mo thru grandparents!! So many master bedrooms everyone was living in luxury. Huge kitchen, sand box pit with baby swing under the deck, even had sand toys already in it!! Laurie was so nice and always emailed back with answers to all my questions. Very easy booking process. A week to remember forever!

This beach house had everything our group could need or want. It had easy beach access, our own pool (although we wished it was heated!) and hot tub, electric fire pit, pickle ball/tennis court within walking distance, close driving distance to the shops, a theatre room and pool table. It had a huge open kitchen and living room space that everyone fit comfortably and almost all rooms had their own bathroom. The owner was very responsive to texts which was much appreciated as well. One thing our group wished is that there were long floor length mirrors when getting ready but other than that it was a very good experience!

Great house for large groups/families- we had 4 different families all together- double dishwasher and silverware was genius!

First time to OBX and we picked the perfect home. Gorgeous views of the ocean (and dolphins) from every window on the main floor. Coffee everyday on the deck. Appreciated the two dishwashers, two refrigerators and ice maker. Really helpful for a big group. Movie theatre came in handy on a rainy day, and large number of beach chairs accommodated us on sunny days. Nice to have remodelled bathrooms and so many! Laurie was super helpful in answering questions and special requests. Great time had by all!

An amazing house steps from the ocean. The communication with the owner was seamless and pleasant. Have already spoken to them about going back next year. Easy access to any amenity you need.....grocery, activities, restaurants. Well worth the value!!!!! Thanks

We had 25 people stay and the house was perfect. Enough dishes, great wifi (10 kids schooling, 2 people working virtually), and everything in the house worked even at the end of the season when most hot tubs and appliances break down!! Plenty of quiet space, but also lots of great outdoor and communal areas. Owners were extremely responsive with answering any questions that we had. So sad to leave...
