Awesome stay! House was perfect and well stocked with everything we needed. The pool is a good size and our 4 teens loved it. The walk to the beach is short and easy. Great screened in porch to enjoy the evening sunset. Shyla was super responsive and really helpful in sharing tips for beat places to eat. Highly recommend!!!

DO NOT BOOK THIS VRBO

THIS WAS BY FAR THE WORST HOST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD! The property had no refrigeration for the 1st two nights of our stay. Both refrigerators were inoperable. The host knew about the issues days before our arrival. The host actually ordered a refrigerator the day before our arrival which proves she knew about it well before we got there. Then she refused delivery of the new refrigerator while we were there…w/o refrig!After we discovered the refrigeration issues and informed the host, she provided an igloo cooler and 2 bags of ice for 7 people. We continuously had to run out for ice & groceries for 2 days until a repairman could come & fix the issues. The host insisted & argued that we were not using the downstairs refrigerator properly. She called and argued with me so much that I asked her to stop calling and texting. When the repairman confirmed both refrigerators were broken, the host sent an insincere apology while still defending her inactions. It’s absurd that our vacation was severely disrupted for the 1st 48 hrs when the host was well aware of the broken appliances before our arrival. A RESPONSIBLE HOST would have contacted their guests w/ these issues before we arrived. On a different note, the host is highly inexperienced w/ the duties of a host. For a 5 night stay for 7ppl, she provided 4 rolls of toilet paper & a 1/2 roll of paper towels! There were not enough bath towels.Save your money & book a hotel w/ a pool instead of this property!!!

Shyla and team were very accommodating, and the correspondence and connection was amazing. Besides some inclement weather which no one can control, it was a beautiful time of fellowship and getting together with our kids and grandchildren.

Great house with a wonderful host!

Such care is put into the property, making it easy to enjoy a relaxing vacation with everything we needed! The convenience was so helpful - from the outdoor shower to clean up from the beach, the outdoor gear provided for the beach and pool, and the close proximity to walk to the beach. Shyla was wonderful - easy to reach out to with any questions and we enjoyed her recommendations on places to visit - we had a fantastic time at Pea Island. We would stay again for sure!

Quick visit

Our family enjoyed our overnight stay. The host was very accommodating to our special needs. The house is well located and comfortable. The decor is charming and the kitchen is well furnished. We did not use the pool but we all wished we could have because it was very inviting and convenient. My daughter-in-laws all said they would love to rent it when they visit again.Thanks again for a great experience!

This house and property was one of the best we have stayed in from the kitchen which had everything you could want to fix meals to the spacious open area great room. The screened front porch with picnic table for eating dinners. Had lunch downstairs on the other picnic table. Kids enjoyed the swing seats down there. We played games in that large area on the rainy day. Outside shower to wash sand off was great. Owner provided large cart that we fit 7 chairs 2 umbrellas and our kids beach toys to push to the beach. We all enjoyed the pool and covered seating under the deck after being on the hot beach. Owner was very helpful with suggestions for restaurants, groceries, activities, ice cream and coffee shops. Great vacation!

Cozy & Sweet

We were happy to stay in “Oh Buoy” for our first ever OBX trip! The home was immaculate & perfect for our family! Our group of ten included my mom & dad, sister & her husband, myself & my husband, & my sister’s son, & my 3 kids (ages 4-10). The home is an open plan with the four bedrooms off of the combined kitchen & living room area. It’s definitely a cozy atmosphere, conducive to spending quality time together. Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were! Our kids LOVED the bunk beds! The various porches & cozy outdoor seating areas with twinkle lights were a sweet touch! I highly recommend the adirondack chairs for morning coffee (there’s a Keurig!) My kids loved the swing chairs under the deck. The pool was fantastic! It was a must for the littles - it was used daily & had a great setup! Shayla was in touch & ready to help every step of the way. Even her welcome letter gave us great recommendations for where we could go out for dinner & some of her favorite places to visit (including her favorite beaches). The beach within walking distance was fantastic! We were also able to drive & park there, as needed, for my mom (she had recent knee surgery). The Pea Island beach is worth a day trip! Shayla had everything you could think of for the beach available for use! (chairs, toys, cooler, umbrellas, wagon, boogie boards, etc.) “Oh Buoy’s” setup would make for an amazing trip among close friends &/or family. I’m sure we’ll be back! Thanks for everything, Shayla!

It was my 50th birthday party we had a blast the house and the property was perfect .

My 50th birthday party was wonderful we had an exciting time with different family and friends coming and going throughout the week the property is less than five minutes to the beach and two or three minutes to a great drink and food. Everything was exactly like it was described in the pictures do not do the property justice it is beautiful the host had everything we needed and more.
