Overall it was a nice place to stay. Quiet and just a short walk to the beach on a private road. The host Jonathan was very on top of things we only needed one thing and he had it 10 minutes after I sent a message

Inside was clean and well done. Its a camper, nothing fancy. However, where it is located is not great. Neighbor trailers were not in good condition and one looked abandoned, but someone was in there at night. The road to the camper was filled with pot holes.

Hi Jamie. Thank you for leaving the place in such great shape. The neighbors just bought the trailer next door and are working hard to fix the outside while working full time as a school teacher and office administrator, however I do understand your concerns as these things take time. I am also working with the other property owners to improve the road. Thanks again for staying and your honest review

We’ve been staying here for the last several years and realt enjoy everything about it. Jonathan has always been very communicative and friendly. The location is great if you’re looking for privacy away from the hustle and bustle of the OBX. The camper is always cleaned and well stocked with everything you’ll need for your stay. Highly recommend!!

Great experience at this property! It was the perfect size for 2 adults and a dog. The kitchen was stocked with cooking/eating utensils. Our host responded immediately and quickly came to change the propane tank for us when it ran out. Nice deck area to sit outside and have a meal or just relax. It was the perfect middle ground between the north and south side of the outer banks. We really enjoyed being able to walk to the beach for sunrise and sunset as well. The road was very quiet and we felt safe. I highly recommend staying here!
