Serenity At the Beach- No better place to unwind


Centrally Located with Hammocks & Swings! We have tried to outfit our home with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your time in the OBX!

You will have a hard time deciding if to lay in the hammocks under our shaded Captain's Quarters, play volleyball, watch the kids on the jungle gym, fire up some food on the charcoal/propane grill, dine outside or play chess/foosball inside.

And let's not forget the awesome tourist attractions!

**Minimum age requirement: 25

Besides just packing your bags and showing up...we thought you knowing that you could also walk/ run/ drive east 0.4mi to the beach or west 0.5mi to the sound is CRUCIAL information! Ha!

Disliked: Cleanliness
would not do again
When we got to our destination it was not clean AT ALL. Food was left in the fridge, trash was in the (overgrown) yard, and there was writing on the pillowcases. We immediately sent the host pictures at which point they promised to contact the cleaning crew and get back to us—which they never did. After our vacation we requested that they waive the cleaning fee and they said that they would not and also implied that we were lying about the condition of the home because their cleaning crew sent them different photos. Very disappointed with the communication with the host overall and would not stay here again.

Not as listed - in need of TLC
We were very disappointed in the accommodations versus the house listing. We are regulars to the OBX area. From the very start our stay began on a bad note. We were not sent the check in code. We messaged and called the owner for 30 minutes while sitting outside the house in 90 degree weather with fresh groceries in our car. I also spoke with VRBO customer service who said it was the responsibility of the owner to send check in instructions, not theirs as the owner had shared with us once we did get in touch after numerous calls and voicemails. The house was dirty. Floors had not been mopped, our socks were black from walking without shoes. There was a dirty washcloth sitting on the floor in the 2nd floor bedroom when we walked in. The TV in the 1st floor bedroom did not work, outdoor shower door did not open, coffee machine was barley functioning. The list goes on. The house itself is nice but clearly is not well maintained and cleaned regularly. For the price we paid, the expectations were not met. I would not recommend staying here nor would I book again.

We had a great visit, loved the house. Can’t walk to the beach because of busy 4 lane main road.
House was exactly as expected. Had everything we needed to cook our meals and was super cute & cozy. Outdoor shower was great! While it’s close to the beach, we were disappointed it wasn’t really walkable due to two main roads to get there, one being a four lane busy highway type :(. Outdoor table and chairs on deck were perfect for hanging out and letting kids play & eating family dinners. Great stay overall.

Wonderful retreat
We had a wonderful week in OBX with this location as our home base. The home was extremely clean, many modern amenities and furnishings, and the host was great with communication. We've never stayed in such a well stocked VRBO. We are used to having to bringing tissues, toilet paper, garbage bags, towels, etc., but this home had all of this and more. We drove to the beaches as a family of four with lots of stuff and a busy highway without a nearby crosswalk to use, and we never had issues with parking. We really enjoyed our stay at this house.

Great location for activities...
This VRBO is centrally located on the Outer Banks and made for easy access to all the activities we wanted to do as a family. The property had some minor issues that were communicated to the property owner and they were quick to be remedied. I would highly recommend this property for families looking for a place to stay who plan to do activities up and down the coast.

Uninvited guests
Warning: cleaners showed up unannounced morning of checkout and almost 3 hours before checkout at 11am. We were going for coffee a little after 8am with plans to take one last walk on the beach and clean up before checkout at 11am. We left and went around the block because I forgot something . A car was in the driveway with a woman smoking and when I asked who she was, she said they were the cleaners and she would get the other people out of the house!! There were two men inside the property with no announcement to us. Luckily we had prepackage most of our stuff but what if my wife had stayed to take a shower while I was picking up coffee?! We called the property manager and she apologized but seemed totally unconcerned and defensive about this situation which really ruined our weekend stay. Overall the property is as advertised and was clean and cute and close to many things. The neighborhood the property is not in a great area but ok.
