It was amazing, we had such a wonderful time. It was clean and had enough space for everyone. Bonus right next to a nice restaurant and bar. We will be back!!!💕

The pictured don't do this place justice. Its amazing and we had so much fun

This is the out sixth time renting this property for a long fall weekend. You can’t beat the size of the covered back deck. It is where we spend most of our time.

We came for my son's 30th birthday. We all had a great time! Stacy went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and then some. She truly made sure our time was perfect for my son's celebration. The house was clean and cozy. We spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the music from Jolly Roger next door and the view of the pond. I'm looking forward to our next stay at "Our Bright Idea".

We so enjoyed our stay! Easy access to the beach. House is clean and well appointed. Owner is very responsive and easy to work with.

good location

Plenty of room close to the beach the deck was our hangout place the kitchen had most of everything you will need if you ask a question you will get a response back thanks for the great week

Young adults traveled to this house. They were pleased with the location and the outdoor space. The kitchen was well equipped and the house was very clean . Note - that the upstairs (kitchen, living area and two bedrooms) and downstairs (two bedrooms and laundry) are not connected from the inside. This was not a problem for these travelers - but would not be optimal with families with a lot of kids.

Good property.. convenient to a lot of things, especially the beach.

Great location with a short walk to the beach. Responsive and helpful owner.

Property was incredible and Stacy was very easy to communicate with. We all had a blast!

The house was absolutely beautiful. The back porch was amazing. We spent so much time out there just listening to music and watching the turtles in the pond. This is such a great house for a relaxing getaway. We loved staying there so much and will definitely be back. The owners were very friendly and responded quickly when I sent them a message. It was a great experience and we can’t wait to stay again.

I've stayed at this location before and enjoy it every time, the house has plenty of room, nice deck area, the Jolly Roger is right next door for a unique dining experience, and you're right across the street from the beach. We'll be back.

Great rental the communication was great

Had a fun weekend away with a girlfriend and all our 5 kids. The house was well stocked (kitchen, books, games), plenty of communal space and a fantastic back porch/patio. Super close to the beach with a fun restaurant right next door. And the owner was readily available for any questions. Thanks for a great spot, Stacy!

We had a family get together for Thanksgiving and we had a great time everything was clean roomy space for everyone.

Over all wonderful!!! The only thing we had a hard time with was the super strong musty smell in the basement when we got there! I know it’s probably hard to keep at bay… but thankfully there is two dehumidifiers that we had running non stop! Opened all the windows down there and cut an onion in half to put it both rooms, so by that night we could sleep down there at least, the onion actually did wonders! It sounds weird but it works! It’s super close to the beach which we loved since some of us with little ones could walk back and forth when need be, and also enjoyed the back porch, grill and the fact there was a baby gate to block the stairs. But still had to watch the two year olds close do to vertical railing, which looks wonderful but just have to watch little climbers! Also super close to the store and the two fridges were awesome! Over all we were all very happy staying there!!

House was perfect for a relaxing weekend with the girls. The porch was large and wonderful. Being right next to the Jolly Roger was an added bonus. Owner was quick to respond and easy to work with. 10/10 would stay here again.

Nice visit to the OBX. Convenient location to many attractions and short walk to the beach. Live music till midnight some nights. Lovely deck will likely invest in a similar hammock.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and everything was exactly the way it was presented. I spoke with Stacy the owner on 2 different occasions and she was very polite and professional..Highly Recommended stay and location! Tom

My friends and I stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate our friend that is getting married in October and we had a great time! The house was the perfect size for all of us and the back deck was an awesome hangout spot. Everything was very clean when we arrived and communicating with the host was so easy which I appreciated. The location was great as well and I have already told my family that we should go back and stay here!

The location of the house is excellent. Easy walking access to the beach. Was slightly disappointed in the cleanliness. Upon checking in, the house had a “nasty” smell of bacon. With some air freshener, we fixed that. The Keurig coffee machine had mold in the water compartment. Again I cleaned that prior to us using it. There was also something that appeared like mold (but could have been dust) around the vents (in the ceiling). The downstairs had a strong odor of mold. Otherwise this is a great house. I would do a deep clean and ensure the housekeeping staff I use were more through. We throughly enjoyed the back deck in the evenings!

Summer family beach trip to OBX was wonderful. The property was well appointed. Walk to beach was short and convenient. We all enjoyed our stay.

Upon arrival the house was very nice. The inside of the house was clean, missing one flat sheet and the grill was very dirty so we had to clean it before we used it. The outside deck is amazing. You can sit outside day or night listening to music and you never get rained on. The deck was so big that it fit all 10 people in my party very comfortablely. The downstairs rooms and bathrooms do have the smell of mold/mildew. It was very nice that we were given the option to use the beach equipment or just to have a place to store our own. We did have issues with the water heater. On the second morning we were there the hot water completely stopped working and we were out of hot water for two days until a plumber came to fix it. Five days after that we were out of hot water again for a day and a half. This time the entire water heater got replaced. Overall it is a nice place to stay, close to the beach and other things you need or would like to go to.

We would 100% rent this cottage again! We have been searching for a cottage that was infant (2 1/2 and 1 year old) friendly and we finally found it! With the beach access being 200 ft away, it made it very easy to take the girls to the beach and one person bring them back for nap time without the whole family having to pack up and leave. The beach access was never crowded because it’s not one people can park at.The Jolly Roger right next door was the perfect place to enjoy breakfast and people watch at night (it was never too loud or a problem for us). The location of the cottage was perfect- in the middle of everything! A quick run to Walmart at mp 1, or Food Lion right across the street, all the way down to the Dino putt putt which is my daughter’s favorite animal!The bottom part of the cottage being a separate entrance was not a problem for us. The grandparents (age range 55-65) stayed downstairs because they went to bed early while my husband, my brother, and his wife stayed upstairs and didn’t feel like we were making too much noise or bothering anyone else. The outdoor patio was the perfect place to hang out and enjoy a beer after a long day on the beach! My husband and brother enjoyed kayaking in the pond!Such a fantastic vacation in a wonderful cottage! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home!

This was in a great location for us. Deck and yard in the back was perfect.

Have already left you a positive comment. Only issue is not having interior access to downstairs bedrooms.

My friends and I had a great time in this home! The house fit 10 adults perfectly! Great location, beach entrance, restaurants, mini golf, and Wright brothers museum are all super close! The back deck was our favorite part!! We had a few minor issues but Stacy was a great host and responded super fast to fix them!! The worst part was having to leave. We would love to stay at this home again in the future!

This home was readily stocked for all your needs. Lots of beach toys, chairs, and lots of other things to keep you from having to overpack. Great communication with the owner too! Our family had a great stay !!

Communication with owner top notch both before check in and after. The house was great and the deck an added bonus. 2 refrigerators too.

I have rented a lot of cottages through the years and this one was hands down the best place I've ever rented. We will definitely be renting again next year.
