Perfect getaway spot

We were on OBX with a large group of people and decided we'd prefer our own space for sleeping. Tranquil Tides was clean, the air was on when we arrived and it had everything we needed. We were only 2 miles from our friends house. It was perfect for our needs! Will definitely return!

Accommodating

During our stay one of the guest locked us out of the property by accident. I sent a text to the owners and within minutes were given access to a lock box and able to regain entry into the property. Very accommodating host, we will be staying with them again.
