The property was just as listed. Lots of room to spread out if you are a family. We enjoyed our stay, and the host was very helpful when I called about the WiFi. Which worked great, I just needed the new password.

We absolutely LOVED our stay here. The location was perfectly serene which is exactly what we were hoping for. We awoke every morning to horses in the yard and loved the very short walk to the beach. John was wonderful at providing the insights we needed for traversing the beach for the first time.

Host was very responsive when we messaged him about a question and communicated with us beforehand to give us a heads up about new internet in the home and let us know where the new password was. It was evident the host cared about our stay and wanted it to be great.

Can't say enough great things about the place and the owner John and Kim. The pictures listed don't honestly do the place justice inside and out. Will definitely book here again in the future and can't wait to make it back down to the Outer Banks again.

Comfy getaway

Teach's Retreat is a comfortable and homey beach getaway. We truly enjoyed our time there. The kitchen is well stocked with towels, linens, pots, pans, utensils and plates. There is even a spice rack that has a little bit of everything.. The proximity to the beach is a real bonus that allows the early risers to go for a sunrise stroll and return without much hassle. Hope to return some day!
