The cottage was beautiful, cozy and very clean! We had a very relaxing and restorative week. Thomas is a wonderful host who made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you so much for sharing your slice of paradise with us!
Tranquility Cottage felt like a home away from home for myself, my wife, and our son. We love vacationing in the Outer Banks, particularly the Waves/Salvo/Rodanthe area. We appreciated the family atmosphere of the rental and the communication with Tom.
We had such a lovely week here! The location is amazing, the property was just as listed and we felt very much at home here. Communication with Tom was perfect.
We enjoyed the house and the location was just a short walk to the beach. We also enjoyed the sound-side which was great for smaller children and just a short drive away. Tom was easy to contact and work with. We had a great stay.
The property was accurately described in the listing. Everything was clean and in order. We liked the location a lot. We would definitely stay here again!
The house was absolutely beautiful, it was so peaceful amd quiet. We were able to walk to the beach but choose to drive on the ramps and loved it. Will definitely try to stay in thos house again!!!
The property is in a very nice location and very clean. Short walk to beach and plenty of ramp assesses close by for more peaceful beach days. Communication from owner was best I’ve had while using app. It was a Perfect getaway!
Quiet neighborhood only 1 minute walk from beach. We had the most wonderful time here. Short drive from most attractions. The oeners was very helpful & great. We will definitely be back next year!!
This was my first time staying in Waves. The house was as presented on VRBO. It was clean and orderly, and had everything needed for our stay. We had no complaints at all. It was a short walk to the beach. Tom is an excellent host and took a great interest in making sure we had a good stay.
This home was ideally located, a short 5 minute walk to the beach. It was perfect for the four adults we had and we even had a spare bedroom! From the moment I booked this home Tom has been nothing but spectacular! He responds to any inquiries in a timely manner and is extremely helpful. We can't wait to return!
Property was just as described. Quiet neighborhood convenient to the beach and sound. Communication with landlord was excellent. He answered any questions we might have had before we even thought to ask them. Even called and checked on us during our stay to see if anything was needed. Very pleased with our stay!
