Overall a great stay, good location, convenience to the sand and beaches is hard to beat. The house was clean and plenty of beds and linens. Downstairs stayed a little warmer than the upstairs but still remained comfortable.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Jonathan! We're glad you had a great stay at Heart's Desire - #4 and enjoyed its convenient location and easy access to the beach. We're also pleased to hear the home was clean and provided plenty of comfortable sleeping arrangements. We appreciate your feedback about the temperature downstairs and hope to welcome you back to the Outer Banks again!
Great house! Comfortably fit our party of 9 (4 adults, 4 teens and a 9 year old). Short walk to the very private beach. We never utilized the community center because the beach was so great. Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the pots and pans, but the knives were super dull - maybe BYO. We’d absolutely rent this again.

We're so glad Heart's Desire - #4 was a great fit for your group, Carrie Ann! It sounds like the private beach was a highlight of your stay, and we're happy you found the home comfortable for everyone. Thank you for the helpful feedback about the kitchen, and we're especially pleased to know you'd return. We hope to host you again on your next Hatteras Island getaway!
The property was lovely. The layout was so good for our family.
Our only issue was that the write up said there was a neighborhood pool. There was no pool close by... and the pool that was the "community pool" was miles away and not even open. This should be communicated clearly. This was the only disappointment for us.

Eva, thank you for leaving us a 5-star review! We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay at Heart's Desire. See you again soon at the beach!

Only complaint was the vagueness of pet policy (in description said dogs were allowed for a fee but upon rental payment I was informed THIS property was not pet friendly although Surf and Sound realty does have similar locations that are) House was phenomenal, views were spectacular, location was beyond word comprehension!!! Never wanted to leave other than I missed my fur baby. Can see every star in the Milky Way from the multiple decks and experienced bioluminescent sand for the first time! So secluded and private; really feels like you have the whole beach to yourself at times. Very enjoyably atmosphere. Good stores and restaurants all close by. (I will note if you or anyone you are bringing has trouble with stairs this will not be the rental for you as there are A LOT of them. Deck/stairs have a few boards that could use some repair) Overall everything was sensational and would definitely recommend staying here!

Overall nice but a hike to the beach for ocean front
Loved the privacy and isolation but the picture was slightly deceiving how far the walk was to the beach for an oceanfront property. Was happy with everything else.
