Fantastic house if you’re bringing your pets to the Outer Banks.
I for one always get nervous when I get a pet friendly house even though I bring my pets but you cannot tell this was a pet friendly house. It was so clean and inviting. We will be back in November. I highly highly recommend booking any of their properties.

Autumn Getaway with Family
Our family (including two pups!) all had a wonderful time at this beautiful home on the beach. The location was perfect for our needs, we loved being able to walk over the dunes to the ocean every morning. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was so clean! We are looking forward to staying here again, thank you!

Classic Beach House
This was a really enjoyable, vintage beach house. It was convenientnto use an elevator to bring in a carload of supplies. The kitchen is well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. It is a great house for hide and seek! There is plenty of seating available and the 4 full bathrooms were convenient. The one thing the house could use is better lighting. The ceiling lights are almost too much and there was only one floor lamp in the livingroom area. The bedrooms had table lamps that needed brighter bulbs. So, if you are looking for a classic beach house with lots of room, this one is great!

Forbes Fever
Nine family members ranging in age from 28 to 86 enjoyed a week at Forbes Fever in mid March, 2023. Our stay was delightful. We came from Kansas, St. Louis and Wake Forest. The house allowed us plenty of together space but also allowed us to have our own private spaces. The home is lovely with a well equipped kitchen and a large dining room table that accommodated everyone and was a great place for playing cards and working puzzles. We were there preseason so it was cold some days but we enjoyed the walks along the ocean even if we had to bundle up. This was a great central location for visiting Hattaras and Roanoke and Manteo. Our party also included a seven year old Wire Fox Terrier who thoroughly enjoyed himself. We loved staying in this charming beach home. The elevator was a bonus and really helpful for my mother.

Coziest Christmas imaginable
Forbes Fever is a gem. She is an Old Girl, but well maintained, clean, and cozy. New updates to baths noted, and decking updates started as we left. It was fully stocked, even with spare heaters and blankets tucked away as it was 10 degrees one day. Elevator was great for grandparents and for our old dog whose back went out during the stay. The outdoor space was amazing. View from upstairs is beautiful and the direct walkway to beach was nice. Our dogs had the time of their lives! It was completely dog friendly but you would never know dogs had been there (no smells, hair, fur, stains, scratches, wear and tear). The layout is unique but cool. It allows for cozy nooks and separation of space, but with large common areas. There are 2 upstairs, not connected to each other on second floor. This allowed for the older kids to have their own "kid's floor" on 2nd floor. The property management company was very responsive, even on a holiday. They were very kind and easy to work with. Location is very convenient to shopping, outlets, entertainment, lighthouses, pier, restaurants, veterinarian and urgent care, groceries, pharmacy, etc. Best of all Ocean Front. We had family come in from all over NC for Christmas, we brought a full size, pre-lit tree, decorated it with shells and coastal ornaments, drank eggnog, baked cookies, exchanged gifts, and played games. When I have read books set in beach cottages, this is what I imagine. It is very cozy but surprisingly spacious and can accommodate large families. The mid century coastal decor and original door latches are perfect! We did not get to use the pool or utilize the decks and gazebo this time, but we hope to visit again in warmer weather!

Loved the house!
Loved the Old Nags Head Style! We need a large property for our family vacation & this property fit the bill! The dogs were able to enjoy their stay with easy access to the dog run too! We were a little hesitant after reading reviews with the maintenance/linen operating out of the underside out of the house but there were absolutely no issues and we did not even know anyone was there. The pool, decks and access to the beach are excellent and we were all able to enjoy all our favorite parts of OBX - swimming, boogie boarding, crabbing, fishing, building sand castles - all of it! The rental company is by far one of the best I've rented from and went above and beyond even after our stay was over.

This property seemed exactly as described on VRBO. There were a few amenities I didn't see listed anywhere; iron and ironing board, plenty of blow dryers, all TVs had live shows. With a range in age from 56-82, the elevator was a must and was in good working order. It goes to the 3rd floor as well, which I didn't see anywhere in the listing, so that's very helpful.

What a wonderful classic ocean side house. We loved the old charm. Being able to walk out your door and be oceanside was exactly the r&r we where looking for. The beds and furniture inside where all very comfy. The chairs under gazebo are beyond shot and need to be replaced, unsafe!

Long Relaxing Getaway Weekend
We were charmed by the house. The paneling is beautiful and the decorations are unique and eclectic. The house is well kept and was very clean. The kitchen was updated and well-stocked. We loved that we could hear the ocean from inside of the house (with the windows and sorts closed)! That’s rare. The master suite on the third floor was perfect and the private roof deck it has was one of my favorite things about the house. The Roku TVs were a nice bonus. We also loved reading the information about the owner’s impressive bio and that the proceeds from the rental still help fund the charities she donated to when she was alive. A couple of minor suggestions: 1) Please update the instructions for the elevator (and post them inside of the elevator) to explain that you have to push the button for the floor again once you have arrived at that floor, in order for the door to unlock - we had to call for help because we were locked inside of the elevator when we first arrived!). 2). We know there were comments that the outdoor furniture will be replaced this Winter. This is good - and necessary. I sat in one of the rocking patio chairs in the gazebo and it flipped backwards, which hurt my neck. We highly recommend this rental!
