Paw-fect Stay for Pet Owners: A Cozy, Convenient Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO property with our dog. The owner was incredibly friendly and responsive, making communication a breeze. The house itself was spotless and ideally suited for our older dog, thanks to the minimal steps, level property, and convenient single-floor layout. Highly recommend for pet owners!

Great house. Best stocked kitchen I have ever seen in a rental. One person in our party has mobility issues and loved the one story accommodations. Host was exceptional. We never wanted to leave.

About the host

Hosted by Jimmy Holmes

I'm originally from St. Louis. I moved to the Island in 1994. I love meeting new and interesting folks and take pride in providing a nice clean home to share with others. I run Bonehead Charters during the season and build and renovate swimming pools and spas in the off season.

Why they chose this property

I love living so close to the National Park. The light from Cape Hatteras Lighthouse shines through the windows at night.

What makes this property unique

This is the closest house to Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Cape Point, and the Jetties on the island. I love how the light from the Lighthouse shines across the property.
