perfect beach house

This is a perfect beach house: it has all you need for staying at the beach! The kitchen was renewed this past winter and it looks great. I especially liked the new stove! Beds and living space are all very comfy.

awesome

This was a great house! We found everything we needed. It was all there. The mattresses were great, the couch left a little too be desired.. however, we didn't vacation to sit on the couch so it was perfect. It was awesome!

is like our second home

We have been staying at this house now for more than 10 years. We loved the renovations that were done in the past year to the living area. We love this house and this point is like our second home.

great house

This was a great house ! BUT the high sand dune directly between the house and the beach apparently limits direct access to the beach (as well as limiting the view). When actually at the OBX there are postings (probably not enough) requesting individuals to stay off of the dunes. This creates somewhat of a dilemma for those staying in homes with similar scenarios whereas you are actually adjacent to the beach but "isolated" from direct access to the beach (if abiding by the "rules") because of the apparent environmental concerns for the sand dunes. Some may honor this request while others may not. Possibly there may be those not aware of or understanding of such a mandate. (Or perhaps I am the one who is confused) The walk from the house to the beach via the road is not bad, but its somewhat frustrating to see others taking shorter routes through the dunes. This was our fifth trip to the OBX, we plan on continuing. Previous stays were in a house that was directly adjacent to the beach and void of any dunes such that we walked from the house porch directly onto the beach. Perhaps we have become too spoiled. As initially stated , this is a great house, fully furnished and well laid out. Mattresses must have been new, great support.

Home away from home

This is a very nice house large and well laid out. Hurricane Florence almost cancelled our trip but fortunately we only missed out on one day. Unfortunately the weather delay left us alone as other family had to cancel their plans at the last minute. We love the proximity to the ocean. Our first evening here the wild horses were running around the house. It was great to be able to have our dog with us. The pros - was so relaxing, the sound of the ocean and wild mustangs. The cons is the carpet needs to be steam cleaned. and the furniture in the living room not super comfortable. Over all the house is well stocked and nice enough as your not renting on the beach to stay inside :) - if we can get family to commit with us for another year we are going to rent again in the future.

Great House, Great Location

Overall, a phenomenal stay in a very well equipped home. While it's not a mansion or a "new build," we've stayed at homes for twice the price and this home & location has been the most memorable! The owners have provided renters with TV's in each room, a large eating area, and a very well equipped kitchen. The outdoor shower with hot water was a great idea and addition. The house is well equipped, relatively clean for a beach rental and perfectly situated in a 4x4 private location away from the hustle & bustle. You won't go wrong staying here and we plan to rent it each summer going forward as our go-to place. And did I mention it's a great deal??!!
