Wonderful dog friendly stay

The house was spacious and clean. It was a little further from Morehead City than we expected but we enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of seating in the living room and dining room. The house was very clean with no sign of dog hair and no dog smell. Nice stay.😊

Nice OBX stay

Our family stayed here for a week in May. This is a nice place in a quiet neighborhood. It is very nicely decorated house with lots of room. We loved the screened in porch. Check in was super easy. The few requests we had for the owner was responded to very quickly and pleasantly. We will be back.

Perfect stay at the Berg

The house was clean and beds were comfortable. There was plenty of room for all of us. We spent a lot of time on and loved the back porch! Though we didn’t cook at all, the kitchen had everything that you could have needed. Communication with the owner was in a timely manner. I would definitely stay here again! We love Marshallberg!

Best ever, most impressed!!

The house is amazing so much room for all of our family to spend time together. Quiet neighborhood with water views just outside. So much in the house to be able to feel like home instead of a rental. The host was so nice and accommodating to us. I can't say enough good things about this experience. Best ever and I have been renting for many many years.
