Recent Outer Banks guest reviews

It was a great house that comfortably fit 5 and had spectacular views! Also, very clean!
Kelley D. | Jan 2025
My friends and I had a great time at this house over New Years. The proximity to the beach at the southern end of civilization creates a unique calm environment with great long range views. The house was perfectly clean and well appointed. Every bed was soft and the home had everything any group would need to have a good time. The theater was a noted highlight that is well insulated so others can be outside and in other rooms without being disturbed. The hot tub was great and made for perfect star gazing. Will look to book again in the future.

After viewing reviews, I was nervous. But when we arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. There was plenty of cookware! No need to take extra like we did. The couches are different than what are pictured. They’re still comfy though! The bathrooms are great sizes, nothing special about the tubs but the hot tub makes up for them. The water pressure is lacking but that is to be expected! I have thick hair, so just be patient and spend a little extra time rinsing. There’s a beautiful large white female dog that will greet you on the beach around 9am. She’s lovely and very kind. She enjoys a good back scratch. The location is perfect. You’re basically right in the middle of everything. You pass Bodie Lighthouse getting to the house. Hatteras is right down the road. The ferry to Ocracoke is a little further down from Hatteras. Then you have Currituck a little over an hour ride. All worth the visit and the drives aren’t bad at all. Obviously we missed out on a lot since we went during the winter but we had a blast. I do and already have recommended this home to serve as your home away from home for your next getaway.
