Love ❤️ this house, we have seen new improvements over the years. All beds were great and couch is great. Kitchen has everything you need. Perfect spot, near shops and on the beach, can’t get any better than that.

Everything was great! The kitchen had everything we needed! The beds are hard, but not so bad that it was a bother when sleeping. My recommendation would be to lower the sand dune on the right of the house or put a large mirror outside beside the drive way to see down the road when pulling out. The sand dune to the right is high and you cannot see cars coming when pulling out. (If you are in the car and pulling out forward out of the driveway, the sand dune would be on the left.)

We will be back! The living and bedding spaces are comfy. Pots and pans could use an update. Ice maker didn’t work reliably so we had to keep buying ice.

What can I say, we love this place the layout the decks the beach, and as usual we have booked for next year, cant wait, the new washer and dryer were a surprise access to the beach over the ever building dune line is an issue for 70 year old's and bad knees, but the kids, and grand kids had no issues please thank the home owner and thank you Sun Realty for another great vacation see you next year.

The deck and view are great. Some beds were not as comfortable as others and we needed a larger frying pan.

The house was great and in a great location. Kitchen was small but well stocked. All beds were comfy.

Love this house! Beds very comfortable. Ceiling fans in all bedrooms would be fabulous :)

Great home and location - we liked the rocking chairs on the deck and the set up of the house - loved having HBO and home wyfy. Very comfy and nice design - we liked how the primary bedroom is private from the rest of the downstairs. Well equipped kitchen.

Love the Guilford!!! The deck furniture is superb!

This house had a great deck and deck furniture and a beautiful view of the ocean. Bed downstairs was a little hard. The kitchen had everything we needed.

We have stayed in this house for I think 8 years, love the views, the updated deck and rails, miss the front storm door, the people from Charlies Campground are nice folk in fact we have made friends with some of them as well our grandsons 10 and 14 look forward to seeing freind, they have met when the come down for the week. Beds are getting a little tired, the new drapes in the down stairs bed room makes it hard to sleep-in when the sun is rising, the new covers on the sofa were a nice touch.

Loved being really close to the beach! The kitchen did lack of small kitchen cooking appliances(blender,etc) and mixing bowls.

This was our second stay at this home. We loved the proximity to everything, especially the beach. I have recommended it to several friends and relatives. But I did mention the uncomfortable beds. The kitchen was great.

Overall we had a nice experience. The positives: the house is nice and it's in a good location close to restaurants and shops. The negatives: the beds are very uncomfortable and there is a public beach access next to the house, this leads to people setting up in front of your rental house which is a problem depending on the season.

This was our 2nd year in the OBX. This by far was our best experience. The house is as advertised. My family and I couldn't have been happier. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner. The house is perfectly located. You can be on the beach in seconds. The house has a wonderful deck, where you view the beautiful Atlantic. I'm from NJ and we don't get to see stars like this. Top notch re tap property! Kudos to the owners. My family and I will rent this house again at some point. 5 STARS!!!!!

This is the first year we've treated ourselves to an ocean front vacation home and we sure aren't disappointed so far! Our week isn't finished yet, but I was a little apprehensive about some of the other reviews left here at first and I really wanted to help the owners out by inserting some other information. The fact is, when one rents an ocean front vacation home in the Outer Banks I see no reason to expect a private beach comes along with it. Some people reported they couldn't find any available space on the beach because of all the people from the RV Park or otherwise. We have not seen that so far. I think the RV Park's rather charming (probably because my grandparents vacationed that way for years and loaned us the RV every once in a while; brings back happy memories I guess) and I don't see where else those folks are supposed to go to enjoy the beach if not in front of the ocean-facing houses. To be candid, we don't see any more people on the beach this year than we saw last year when we stayed in Kitty Hawk. We haven't stayed at the northern beaches for quite a few years but I suspect they remain a little less populated than the towns on 158 are so perhaps if a vacationer wants to be around fewer people Duck or Corolla might be better choices for them. We stayed all the way down in Hatteras three years ago too and felt like we had the beach to ourselves on some days. Anyway, all the people here are not bothering us in the least. Again, this is our first time in an oceanfront home and I think we're getting pretty spoiled by being so close! My husband and I are sleeping in the bedroom on the first floor and the sound of the ocean being right there lulls me to sleep every night. Our daughter and her best friend are using one of the upstairs rooms facing the ocean and the same is true for them. You do get full sun in the morning when you're sleeping on the ocean side of the house so if you like to open the windows at night just be aware that you'll wake up a little early. Guilford is the perfect size for our family and we're thoroughly enjoying our time here!

'Would give this 5 stars if I was used to crowded beaches. I'm not. As an avid "Nags Head" old-timer I have a difficult time looking at the ocean AND all the folks on the beach perched directly in front of The Guilford's terrific ocean front deck. I love kids, fishing and people enjoying themselves...I really do! However; I counted 65 people (the Friday before Memorial Day) on the beach directly to the front and sides of this home. If I wanted to stay in a hotel with a crowded beach I would do that. So, as other reviewers have warned: expect balcony seat views of a sea of humans and if you want to sit on the beach, stake out your "claim" early. Okay, enough of that. The cottage interior was charming. Small kitchen but clean and renovated. Families with children recommended as the upstairs four bedrooms all share a hall bath and the living room (with fabulous new sofa) only seats 6-7 adults. The downstairs has a bedroom that shares a hall bath across from the washer/dryer. BUT - you can close a door to the main living area and pretty much make a master bedroom situation out of this bathroom/WD area. Plenty of parking! We had 4 singles and one couple (5 cars). An enclosed outside shower would be perfect so folks could take real showers outside; instead there is a "low flow" shower on the beachfront steps so a quick rinse is all you can expect to get. The Guilford has a great rental rate so I guess they've factored in Charlie's Campground (over 150 permanent campground trailers) across the street but like I said, if you love to people-watch, listen to loud conversations and watch surf casters all day this is the place for you!
