About the host
Hosted by Dean Thompson
We live in Richmond, VA., but we've always enjoyed spending time each summer vacationing in the Outer Banks. In 2008, we finally decided to buy our own property as a second home that we could not only use but share with others as well. We've been making improvements to the cottage each year ever since 2008. We go out of our way to keep the cottage neat and clean so our tenants can have an enjoyable, relaxing vacation.
Why they chose this property
We loved the location re: The beach, restaurants and the local drug & grocery stores. The cottage was structurally sound and it's size made it easier for us to upgrade/renovate ourselves.
What makes this property unique
The cottage is right in the heart of the Outer Banks and within 2 minutes of the beach. When it comes to convenience, comfort, cleanliness and affordability.....we found this cottage to be a great place to stay. All we had to do was add our personal touch.
