Best time in the outer banks!

We couldnt have been happier with our stay! The storm cottage was beautiful, with excellent views of both the beach and bay. The location was close to a local supermarket and several amazing restaurants. We will definitely be returning next summer!

Visit to Hatteras Island

This was our first time staying at Lighthouse View. We found the accommodations clean and everything in good working order. There was plenty of room to walk the family dog in and around the cottage. We enjoyed the safe family atmosphere.

Family Vacation

Very convenient spot - close to the beach and anything else you'd need/want. Plenty of room to spread out and relax - comfortable! Need to provide quests with more washcloths and would be nice to stock kitchen with a very few basics - salt, pepper, and olive oil, for instance.

Great little beach house

Located near the beach short walk. This is a side by side unit of which the other occupants and dogs can be heard at times. Many things provided to make it an easy and enjoyable stay from home ...bring extra towels. Washer and dryer under unit was a great addition

Short walk to beach, beautiful home

The home was beautiful and well decorated and comfortable. I could walk to the beach in a few minutes. I had everything in the kitchen to prepare meals for a few days. The location was very convenient, with a grocery store only a few minutes away, and the Cape Hatteras lighthouse a very short drive. I loved that I could see the beams of light from the property. The property had two bedrooms with two full baths, which was very convenient. Every time I communicated with property management I got a very prompt response.

Perfect relaxing vacation

Loved our time here. Came down with my wife along with her sister and boyfriend (4 adults total) and this house was the perfect size and layout! Decent sized kitchen and plenty of seating in the living area. Pleasantly surprised with the quality of the deck furniture and had a pretty good view of both the ocean and sound. Late night cocktails on the deck were a hit every night. Very short walk to the beach and there’s a convenience store that’s also in walking distance. The front office even hooked me up with some decaf coffee for my wife when I forgot to pack it. Any time we’re looking to get away from everything and just relax we will be coming back here. One word of warning, the comforters on the beds are a fairly low quality, they remind me of a cheap roadside motel. I’d recommend bringing a blanket or two from home just to make sure you’re comfortable at night.

Wonderful Rental but Inspect ALL property

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family really enjoyed staying in this unit. The multi-level floorplan with 2 deck spaces was great. It was also nice to have an outdoor shower, grill and storage space below the unit. Unfortunately, we had a bad experience after checking out and were charged for holes in a blanket that we did not use. Since we brought our dog to the beach, the holes were blamed on the dog and a $60 fee was added to our account. Excessive charges for a blanket that stayed in the closet during our stay! Be sure to inspect everything and report any little damage when you check in.

Very Comfy Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cottage is 2 min walking distance from beach. Very comfortable, our family of 4 enjoyed it very much. Owner was always available for any special needs or questions. We did have a family of young kids staying in the unit next to us who liked to run up and down the stairs, so it got noisy, but as long as neighbors are mindful of each other, this shouldn't be a problem. Would stay here again!

Long weekend mid april

Excellent location, spacious and so close to the water! Host was very easy to get in touch with if needed, check in/out process was very efficient. My only criticism would be the windows were missing screens and a few other kitchen items available would have been helpful. Still would recommend and use again!
