We loved everything about the house, owners and place. It far exceeded our expectations! We have stayed in a lot of places on obx but this one tops them all!

We had a great vacation. Location, atmosphere, house, property and the owners were all incredible.

We loved everything and come every year

This place is unbelievable. Beautiful home. feels like a home. We loved the privacy and nature.

This was a dream come true! Everything was perfect.

We loved our time at Hidden Oak. The house and surroundings are unbeatable. It is our go to place from now on!

What an awesome house. We loved the view from the widows walk you could see both the sound and the ocean. Spent every afternoon up there enjoying the sunset. The house is beautiful and well maintained. Elizabeth and Bill were both very attentive. Loved the game room, had fun with the fooseball, pool table and ping pong tournaments. Loads of family fun! What a great family vacation. Can't wait until next year!!

We had a great time in this house. The house was immaculate, kitchen stocked with everything we needed to cook and have a wonderful dining experience. TVs in every bedroom, pingpong, pool table, games,.... it all kept us happy and together for the entire time even when it rained. The house was so clean and the hosts answered any questions we had immediately! Best house on the beach without a doubt!

We loved staying at Hidden Oak, and wish we had booked again this year, as our week is already taken! I don't even think we will come to the area if we can not stay in this house. It made the vacation so special to be in complete privacy, which is not easy to get on the outer banks, and to have such a well appointed home to come back to. The house was clean, well furnished and felt like HOME not some big rental machine. You can tell the owners want to make your staff great, as they personally met us when we got to the house and showed us around. If something happened, boom they were right there to fix it (and all we had was breaker flip as we were running too many cooking gadgets on the back deck making a gourmet meal under the stars! I highly recommend you don't miss this one!

our whole family loved the house and its location. We were able to really enjoy our family time together and to see the stars at night. Being back from the oceanfront was great as well. We enjoyed the folks on the beach during the day and then retreated to our private 10 acre estate. This is not something you can find often at the beach and we are very glad that there is a house like this. The house was very clean and very well stocked.

We so enjoyed our stay at Hidden Oak. The house was perfectly clean, big enough for our family of 12 to relax and have privacy in the house and outside. The grounds are amazing! The kids were able to play pool, ping pong, foos ball, the ladies to enjoy wine in the wonderful kitchen, and the men watch different sports on the TVs throughout the house. The view from the top deck at sunset over the sound is unparalleled! We will be back for sure!

We have vacationed in this areas for 20 years. Last year we found this hidden gem. What a wonderful home--it isnt a vacation rental in its look and feel. We felt like we were at a luxury house of one of our family members. It is so private and tucked away. Why we rented ocean fronts for years--with all the people in front of the house day and night is beyond me! Never again, not if this house is available. We were worried it might be too far to walk. Let me assure you that it isnt! We loved taking our jeep out to the ocean, sitting for the day and then coming back to this treasure chest! It is so hot this time of year anyway we enjoyed being able to not have to tote bags of things down to the beach on a hot hot day! The pool was unbelievable! The stars wonderful. We couldnt hear anyone. The horses came to visit every day and we even saw a wild pig! What a treat. At night we watched the sunset over the sound, cocktail in hand on the upper deck. Don't miss out! We missed our preferred date this year, so we hope to rearrange our travel to be able to rent this home!

The house was wonderful and the location could not be better. In a minute or less we were on the beach enjoying the day and the. Back to privacy! The kids loved it! Huge. Can't say enough. Don't ,OSS it!

My family and I were staying just down the road from this place last summer. We met the owner(s) on the beach and they gave us a private tour of the estate and it is absolutely amazing. We cannot wait to stay there. Everything is first class.

As soon as we drove over the hill onto the property and saw the house we were mesmerized and we knew it was going to be a memorable week. The landscaping and property alone is beautiful. Bill and Elizabeth were there upon our arrival and were so accommodating and helpful. We have been vacationing in the Outer Banks, Carova area for 10+ years and have never had such wonderful hospitality. They gave us a complete overview of the house, which was more than helpful, as this is a huge house. Everything in the house is so organized and clean that it makes your vacation even better. Everything you could possibly need in a kitchen is there. The horses roamed the property all week, it was amazing. We sat up on the top roof/deck every night looking at the ocean and you can still hear the waves crash even from where you are. Our kids had a blast, we had five children with us, the house entertained them, we could have just stayed around the house all week and they would have been thrilled. We will be back next year!!! No doubt!! Thank you Bill and Elizabeth for such a fun, relaxing, memorable week. I did not want to go home. See you next year!!!

This was such a family retreat for us--and such a treat! We felt like we were on a private estate--and we were! The home was large, clean, and wonderful--with a killer game room and open space--The views of the sound the sea were spot on from the top deck. I guess everyone should stay here--but then we might not get to stay as often! The folks were friendly as could be. All and all so worth the drive and experience!

This was our first stay in the off road area and we were a little nervous. Until we saw this wonderful home! It is just wonderful from every room, to the yard, to the pool. It is so much more than you can see on this website! We checked out the website for the estate and were able to see a few more photos--but still. I must say this is the BEST house we have ever rented on the Outer Banks. Every day the horses would stroll by. We sat on the upper deck and watched the ocean and sound! What a treat. The kitchen is excellent. The house was so well cleaned and spotless. Don't miss out--they have underpriced this place! And last but not least, Elizabeth and Bill were wonderful hosts! They met us at the end of the road, showed us how to drive on the beach, gave us a great orientation to the home. What a wonderful vacation. We didn';t want to leave.
