One of the Best on the Beach!

Our whole crew gave this property a 10/10. It was the perfect setup for two families. The house was super clean, the kitchen was very well-stocked, and the furniture was comfortable. Outside, the deck can't be beat -- plenty of seating and right on the beach. And the beach in front was empty since there was no public beach access nearby. The location is perfect, as it's close to shopping, dining, and all the fun beach activities available in OBX. Terry is a very nice person who was very responsive to any questions we had. Can't wait to go back!

Great location

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect--right on the beach so only a few steps to the beach. It worked perfectly for our family as we wanted to explore many locations from the south to the north of OBX. Restaurants, activities and grocery store all nearby as well. Super clean and a well-appointed kitchen.
