About this property
SPACIOUS FAMILY FRIENDLY HOME, 300 STEPS TO BEACH, PRIVATE POOL/HOT TUB
Welcome to โLobstah Talesโ. Our family loves spending time in the Outer Banks, so purchasing this home was a dream come true.
New for 2025 - New roof, pool fence and family room couches!
Lobstah Tales is perfect for a family beach vacation getaway. We have two children and appreciate kid-friendly accommodations when we travel. It is located only 300 feet from a direct beach access that hosts a lifeguard station! That was a huge bonus for our family - quickly running back to the house to grab a forgotten item is so convenient! The pool and hot tub are the perfect way to end a long beach day, wash off in the outdoor shower and jump on in! For rainy day family activities, the house boasts puzzles and games as well as a rec room with a foosball table and newly added ping pong table, and of course wireless internet and cable TV in each bedroom and living areas.
Our beautiful home is located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills and is close to many restaurants and shops. Enjoy views from 3 different decks (one with a screened porch). You can see the Wright Monument from the back, or take in partial ocean views from our favorite reading spot deck on the third floor.
Looking for activities? Your family will enjoy the close proximity to the Wright Brothers Memorial National Park, Pier fishing, putt-putt, movie theaters, go carts, boat rentals, restaurants and shops galore!
House layout:
1st Floor - rec room with full bathroom, foosball table, ping pong table, laundry and access to the pool, hot tub, grill and outdoor shower.
2nd floor Master bedroom with King (full bath) and private deck Queen bedroom Twin bedroom - this room hosts two twin over twin bunk beds Full bath in hallway that serves Queen and Bunk rooms

What a lovely home! We loved this house and it fit our needs perfectly. Everything felt clean and updated. Exactly as expected. The property was easy to access and the pool and hot tub were great. Even the decorating was adorable! The location was amazing. Easy access to the beach and walking distance to restaurants. Plenty of bathrooms and we loved the screened in patio. We will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your home.
Our family always looks forward to spending time together in the comfortable surroundings of a nice home close to the beach, reasonably priced, responsive owners that maintain the property with ongoing upgrades and satisfy our checklist of amenities. Lobstah Tales is a 5 star vacation rental.

We are so happy that you had a great trip! We hope to have you stay at Lobstah Tales again!
We were very impressed with this vacation home. We had everything we needed and the location was perfect. Owners were thoughtful and very accomodating. We are definitely planning a return trip. Excellent vacation.
This house was just the right fit for my family of five (though there is plenty of room for a few more). The house was clean, comfortable, and nicely furnished. We spent most of our time down in the pool but also appreciated being able to walk to the beach, local shops, and restaurants.
This was a great location. Restaurant in walking distance. House was clean and very comfortable. Host were very helpful. We would definitely rent again.
House is in a great location to beach. The owner was very easy to get in touch with if needed. The house is beautiful and equipped with everything you would need. We would definitely stay there again!
Accurate description in the listing! Convenient central location to explore the area. Walking distance to delicious restaurants and Holy Cow ice cream ๐! The pool and hot tub were relaxing! Would definitely stay again!
We have stayed here four times. The owner is great and the house is perfect for us having 3 generations for the week. Pool/hot tub are relaxing at end of the day. Very convenient to many restaurants and stores.

Thank you Carl! We just love having you and your family at Lobstah Tales!
Location was perfect as everything we needed was close by. Property was in good condition, very clean and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the pool and game room. Kitchen had everything we needed. Linen package was good quality.
Great location. There was plenty of room for children and adults. The pool was always a great way to end a morning st the beach, then maybe some time to relax in the hot tub after dinner. This was our 5th year at this great beachhouse one block from the ocean.
We had a wonderful time visiting the Outer Banks. House was perfect for our family, our host were very attentive to any and all needs. Quick to respond to any questions! This home has everything you need! Thank you so much! I do hope to come again and would love to stay in same home!

Thank you so much for your review and the enjoyment your family had at our home. Hope to accommodate you again.
We absolutely loved it. The house was perfect for our family. We love the decor, the location, your steps away from the beach the pizza place was delicious. The restaurant to the right of the house across the street from the pizza place was delicious. We also went to the bay because the jellyfish started coming to the ocean and the bay was wonderful. All the shops and restaurants around you can walk to the homemade ice cream place the game room and the pool were just perfect. My son took his four year-old daughter to the skate park which they used to doing back home. They had a blast that was a couple of mornings during our stay. They found a splash pad. The kids absolutely loved. Everything was perfect thank you so much.
The House was beautiful, and spacious enough for all 10 of our group to spread out and have their own personal experience. The kids and teenagers loved the pool and hottub, and the ping pong and foosball gave afults and children a fun activity to play together without leaving the doorway.
Literally waliing distance from arcade, 5 guys rstaurant, and we really felt we were a block away from anything in Kill Devil Hills.
You access the beach via public access , great spot. Dare Devils subs and Pizza and Bonzers Restaurant on either side of the street on beach road, made it so easy to grab a simple, quick bite for the kids between meals.
So grateful this wasnour house for OBX VACATION 2023

Needs maintenance!
From a distance the online pictures look great. The proximity to the beach and local was good. Unfortunately, the facility was in need of basic maintenance. Examples. Multiple light bulbs where out. One burner on the stove was out. Both the kitchen sink and upstairs master bathroom had sinks that leaked. All of the outdoor furniture need to be pressure washed. It give the appearance of mold and mildew. The TV in the upstairs master bedroom occassion would only have a half screen.
Everything listed could have been fixed with some basic maintenance between 10am and 4pm some Saturday.
If all the issues where resolved we would have given it 4 stars.

It is curious that the review you were leaving for us has a much different tone than the message that you sent me during your stay. I reply to you immediately during your vacation to which I received no response from you . We recently became aware of the burner after it was fully operational prior to opening the home to renters in May. We have ordered new appliances to be delivered at the end of this month. Unfortunately it was not possible to complete prior to your stay. After you informed us of the (one) recessed light that was out, I immediately messaged you asking which one in hopes of sending our repair man out. You did not reply. As such we waited until your stay was over to have it repaired as to not interrupt your vacation. You did not inform us of any other lights (we keep replacements bulbs easily accessible to renters), and you did not mention the television until this review nearly two weeks after your stay. Again, our house rules ask for you to report damages, which you did not. All televisions were perfectly operational in May. With regards to the sinks, if you hyperextended them, yes, they will leak (as is the case with any sink per a plumber). We power wash our outdoor furniture twice a year. They are not filled with mold nor mildew. All if the pool chairs are brand new. We spend a lot of time and love on our home and have been thankful to have many other lovely families who enjoy it as much as we do. We hope you find the perfect home to rent in the future.
The property was perfect for our 2 families with kids. So many thoughtful touches from nightlights and sound machines to laundry hampers. The house was in a great location and we could walk to a lot of places, including the beach. Would definitely stay again!
The house โLobstah Tailsโ was absolutely beautiful in and out!
We will definitely love to return to this house in the future, and it was GREAT being able to communicate with the owners, which are very friendly and gave us a lot of info on stuff to do in the area!
The property was clean and the owner advised us when it was ready from the previous occupants so we could start enjoying it. This is our third year to rent this house, and it never disappoints!
We have stayed at quite a few and this is one of the cleanest Vrbo houses we have stayed at! Great layout for a family with kids and Grandparents. Easy walk to beach allowing for a quick return to the house for lunch. Walkable to restaurants, pizza, and ice cream, yet short drive to many other great restaurants. The owner, Kristin, responded instantly with any concerns/questions, the best we have ever dealt with. Definitely hope to return again.
The property was beautiful and had all the amenities our group needed. We walked to the beach, restaurants, and shopping every day as the location of the house was super close to all of these things. Owner communication was prompt and very courteous. Even though pool wasn't heated it felt wonderful with the June sun, and all adults and kids swam daily. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend to others!
Well appointed house and very comfortable for our family with thee adult children and their spouses. Pool was appreciated and the proximity to places to eat and distance to the beach (very close) were a big plus.
