This property was wonderful for our family. We had 8 adults, a one year old and 2 dogs and the layout was great! We had a small issue the first day and the owner's immediately addressed it. The location was great being near all the soos and grocery store! I would absolutely recommend this house.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Beach Walker during our vacation and it was an amazing experience! The beach house is perfectly situated just steps from the beach, offering stunning ocean views. We loved being able to walk to the shore anytime we wanted!The house itself was beautifully decorated, clean, and very spacious. The bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of natural light, and the living area was perfect for family gatherings. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made meal prep easy. We appreciated the pool and beach gear. It was also great to be so close to stores.The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive. They provided us with a nice welcome basket. They checked in a few times throughout the week. We had a wonderful stay and felt right at home. It was a relaxing getaway, and I highly recommend Beach Walker to anyone looking for a beach vacation. We can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic house with a fantastic location

The house was immaculately clean! Katie had wonderful communication during our stay! Our extended family of 9 had plenty of room to spread out during our visit. The best part of the house is the long dining room table. We enjoyed many meals there then played board games all night.

Spring Break Trip

This house was perfect for our family spring break! The communication and support since the day we booked up until arrival was wonderful. Great location, view and space inside the home. Even with the colder weather there so so much to do around the house other than just the beach. Would definitely return! Thanks so much.

Beach Walker Did Not Disappoint

Great house, great location, great owners! We had some internet issues after a big storm on our first night there. Rob was there right away to get it resolved. He even stayed to clean the storm debris out of the pool! Would definitely go back!! 10/10 recommend!!

Huge house great location

Very large house with lots of beds. Really great location - kids all walked themselves to mini golf, ice cream and shopping. House was clean and good amount of furniture. Only negative is the extras were spare. Definitely felt like the owner doesn’t ever stay there themselves. No blankets for couch or any of the beds. No extra pillows, not even enough for all the mattresses. Missing some utensils in the kitchen. Kids main issue was the pool wasn’t heated! Overall a great place.

Family Vacation

The house was just as described and had more than enough room for the 5 of us. We loved being able to bring our dog too. We loved the location being so close to the beach. It was our first time to the Island and will definitely be back. We spent most of our exploring the surrounding towns and many of the hiking trails. We did not have any problems, but the hosts welcomed us and made sure we knew we could contact them if we did. It was a great family vacation with many memories made. Thanks

Peaceful Retreat

Overall we had a good stay. The home was well stocked with cookwear. There was a keurig for coffee and everything was pretty close by. My mom has been going through a pretty rough battle with cancer and this last year has been very difficult for my family. The ocean was just what she needed and actually got her to walk a bit while we were there. Generally we look for properties that allow animals because I have a service animal. I did not disclose this information bc she's not a pet and not a requirement by VRBO but we paid a fee after the fact. We tried washing linens while we were there but the dryer seemed to take too long to dry. We did stay for an extended period, for shorter stays I'm sure this wouldn't be an issue. We had 2 roaches, I think they're called Palmetto bugs down south and appear to be common in the area so I don't think it was an issue with the home, just that time of year. It was not a big enough issue that we felt the need to report it to the owners. The owners were responsive and easy to get ahold of. We got charged some fees after the fact. After everything that has gone on in the last year with my mom's health, it wasn't something worth disputing. Hindsight we'll make sure to alert people we are bringing a service animal. We really just needed a break from life and this place provided the perfect space. The dolphins we saw almost everyday really were the icing on the cake.

About the host

Hosted by Katie & Rob Walker

Host profile image
The Walkers welcome you! We're a military family who have bounced all over from South Carolina, Arizona, England, and California - finally settling down here in Eastern North Carolina. We love it here so much, we're now calling this home. We hope you'll enjoy this area as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location! Steps from the beach and near city center activities. This property is managed with care. You'll find it thoroughly cleaned between each visit and contains all the necessities you'll need during your stay.

What makes this property unique

Less crowds, more fun! You're just steps away from a private beach. The only folks who will make the trek to our beach are those staying in the homes nearby. And, if the kids get hungry or you just need a break from the sun, just walk back to Beach Walker and enjoy a break from the beach because it's that close!
