Perfect Holiday Fun

We stayed for the 4th of July week, great location, loved watching dolphins and sunrises from the back deck. Great to watch fireworks on the beach and no traffic when the celebrations ended. Our hostess is top notch...none better on OBX

Wonderful Vacation!

The house was exactly as described and steps from the beach! Our family of nine (four generations ranging from 1 to 84 and two dogs) found that the house was spacious enough and well-appointed. Communication with the owner was great, and any questions were answered very quickly. Would stay here again!

Trip comment

The house was the perfect setting with the beach front location. We loved the wash accessibility to the ocean and the deck to sit out on and watch the waves. It was a great spot for young kids who need to go in and out of the sun/ocean more frequently.
