Five Stars :) A Beach House Like No Other!

I can’t recommend this beach house enough! it truly deserves five stars! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by its charm and thoughtful design. Every room has its own unique style and personality, which made exploring the house so much fun. The originality of the decor really sets it apart from any other rental we’ve stayed in.One of the highlights for us was the spacious backyard. It’s perfect for dogs! Our pup had the time of his life running around and enjoying the open space. The fire pit was another favorite; we spent our evenings gathered around it!! This house is ideal for large family gatherings, too. With two separate kitchen spaces, we never felt cramped even with our big group. It made meal prep and hosting so much easier.We left with so many great memories and can’t wait to come back again. If you’re looking for a unique and welcoming spot for your next getaway, this is it!

We would stay here again

This home had enough space for everyone in the family. The kitchen was all good, and the living area and bedrooms were comfortable. The location was great with easy access to both the beach and sound. Restaurants and activities we also nearby. We enjoyed the backyard and the house allowing dogs.

This home had everything! The kitchen was well supplied. Beds and sofas very comfy. The three levels in this home provided space for everyone....the double washer/dryer was a plus! Great house and very convenient location.

Enjoyed big fenced in backyard, pool & hot tub

This was a good house, but we thought we were closer to the sound than we were. We rented two kayaks and never could use them because it was too far to carry them to end of street and down a path out to the sound. We could not fit them in our cars. The kitchen is in need of some new baking sheets/pans. All the beds were comfortable. Also, most houses I have rented before in OBX always had cleaning supplies on hand, there was none in the house. We most enjoyed the swimming pool, the big fenced in backyard for our dogs and the hot tub was very nice too!

Manager's Response

Thanks for your review. So sorry you couldn't use the kayaks. Although the home is close to the sound, it is not easy to get kayaks down the sand path. Sun generally does not leave cleaning supplies in the homes since there is no secure way to store them and guests would have no way of knowing for certain exactly what is in the bottles. The owners have added some new baking sheets to their well-stocked kitchen along with new frying pans and knives. So glad you enjoyed the yard and pool! We hope you’ll come back and visit again!

I enjoyed most spending time with my family in a home that is comfy and cozy! The kitchen was fully stocked for everything we needed. Master bed is especially comfy. Couches are comfy too. We stayed here last year in April and had such a wonderful time that we decided to stay here again. Great location on sound side with little to no traffic and a path to the sound. Wonderful for bike rides with the little ones. Also close to great food, entertainment and beach.

a great place to stay!

Kitty Hawk Vacation Rentals 234-A Higher Ground

Niki & Becky

Higher Ground is such a special place to us. Being able to spend time with our family (including our dogs!) doing outdoor activities in the awesome yard and pool is just the best! Our tradition of going just a little walk to the sound for the sunset is our favorite way to count our blessings every day. Being able to bike, beach, walk and eat at so many places that are walking distance is one of the best things. We love it here and know that you will too!
