About this property

Huge beach. LOTS of amenities kayaks, boards.

Welcome!

If you want space, comfort, easy lake access with your own private beach, and diverse entertainment/activity amenities - look no further than OUTER BANKS @ Smith Mountain Lake!

This modern, four-bedroom home balances luxury with fun and leisure for the whole family. It is a beautiful setting for a secluded family vacation. You'll be hard pressed to find anything that matches what this property has to offer.

Most exclusively, you'll have your own large PRIVATE BEACH with beach chairs and umbrella. You'll have your own PRIVATE DOCK with sitting table, as well as a separate lounge area where you can enjoy a secluded cove that looks directly onto the open lake. This means you get a specular view without any public water-craft traffic nearby. Use of the dock for personal watercraft is available upon request.

The home offers a huge, open and very WELL-EQUIPPED KITCHEN with upgraded appliances, including a separate ICE MACHINE. There are spices and a variety of oils; everything you need for cooking meals. We have pots and pans, a crock pot and an insta pot, and a large stock pot. For coffee lovers, there is a Keurig and French Press, as well as a conventional coffee maker. We do supply coffee, however, feel free to bring your favorite blend!

We also supply all your paper products; Paper Towels, Toilet Paper, Napkins, Kleenex, Trash Bags, Dishwasher detergent, Laundry detergent; all are reasonably supplied for you convenience!

The kitchen opens to an adjoining SPACIOUS LIVING AREA that looks directly onto the cove/lake, and is a wonderful place to relax in and of itself. It also offers an excellent indoor gathering spot for family games, music sing-alongs, or quiet reading. Of the four bedrooms, one is on the main first level, and three are located on the lower level. The two king bedrooms are very large and spacious with plenty of room for a playpen and not feel cramped, while the remaining two bedrooms offer plenty of space as well.

Outdoor amenities and fun include:
Kayaks,
Paddle Boards,
Bikes (including a Tandem bike!),
Pedal Boat,
Gas & Wood-burning Fire Pits (2x Gas, 1x Wood).

Outdoor games include:
Cornhole,
Ladder Ball,
Bocce Ball,
and Tether Ball.

Indoor amenities include:
1Gb WiFi,
Full size Billiards Table,
Ping Pong Table,
Foosball Table,
Poker Table with Chip Set,
Over 40 Different Board Games,
Blu-ray DVD player w/ 55" 4k TV (Library of Family Friendly Videos),
Karaoke Machine with BT connectivity (so you can sing to any song "Google" can find).

With all these amenities and opportunity for activity, you may want to take advantage of our more RELAXING AMENITIES as well. Many enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine, while sitting on the upper deck with the GAS FIRE PIT providing warmth and ambiance. After a day on the lake, some enjoy soaking in the six-person HOT TUB located on the lower patio. Of course, the beach would not be complete without a true WOOD-BURNING FIRE PIT where guests can gaze at the star-filled sky, and tell fun stories while cooking up S'mores. Many report it makes for a perfect evening.

The best part is, all of these amenities are INCLUDED IN THE RENTAL - NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE!

BONUS: Free linens & INDOOR TOWEL. (MUST bring your own towel for any outdoor like hot tub, beach, lake, etc.)

We stayed the first weekend of October with some of our extended family. We had an awesome time and the weather was great. We had a lot of fun fishing off the dock(we caught some nice fish) and the grandchildren had a wonderful time playing at the beach area in and out of the water. The older kids really enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. As for the house, the views from the back deck and the dock were both absolutely beautiful! Alos, we all slept very well with each couple having a king size bed and the kids had alot of fun sleeping in the bunk beds, so we were always well rested. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make all of our meals. The property owners are very generous with their "toys", so there was always something to do in or out of the water. As for the host's, they are absolutely wonderful to communicate with. You can feel their kindness and willingness to make sure everything was to our liking and beyond our satisfaction. We are definitely going to stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Overall, this is a beautiful home in a great location with a very nice sandy beach, unbelievably well-stocked kitchen, books, board games, beach toys, TVs, great game room and very nice bedrooms. Except for the waterlogged SUP boards, we had no issues with those items. Our discovery of mold or mildew in the air registers and mold/mildew in the bathrooms, plugged air filters and dirty rugs indicates that housekeeping is not up to the demands of summer rentals; these items should have been caught by housekeeping and communicated to the hosts for correction. We did notify these issues to the hosts and they immediately began steps to rectify them. Were it not for the mosquitos we encountered (no fault of theirs), the dirty rugs, and mold/mildew issues, your house would be 5 stars and justify the rental rate. Fortunately, the hosts are extremely concerned about renter satisfaction and are committed to establishing open communication to address any issues that arise.

Among the best on SML

The house matches all the previous reviews for sure, with every appliance, gadget, toy, dish, and convenience at your fingertips. Every room has plenty of space for large family gatherings and the hosts are incredibly responsive and kind. My family has been renting on the lake for a decade and this is among the very best we've seen.

Family vacation

The weather was less than stellar the first few days but all of the entertainment in the house made up for it! Tim & Michelle were amazing to work with before & throughout our stay. The home was amazing as was the dock & beach area. We've been coming to SML for years & this is by far our favorite place that we stayed.

Perfect Vacation

The house, the setting, the amenities, the weather, and our gracious hosts made this a perfect after Easter getaway. The views were exquisite. We had so much fun with the kayaks and paddle boards. We rediscovered each other over wonderful meals, beautiful sunsets and games on the deck and in the rec room. It was truly wonderful and we hope to be back soon. Thank you!

Family time at OBX@SML

This was the second time staying on this property. This time as the last time provided us with a great week. The house is perfect, well supplied, and very comfortable. The beach made it very easy for our 9 year old and the kayakers enjoyed getting into the boats from the beach. Very easy working with the landlords.

Fantastic Stay

House is huge and open with a great view. The beach feels like you’re in Florida taking in some sun, water is clean and clear, and it’s just a great place to relax and have fun. They even had little labels on items that helped locate other items or hints on how to use the item (for example, how to connect to the Bose speaker upstairs). The hosts were very communicative. My mother-in-law stated “This is the best rental we’ve stayed in” and she means anywhere. We will be back.

Perfect start to summer!

We had the best time for the week at this gorgeous home. The kids LOVED the beach and spent hours down there each day. The kitchen was incredible and had every single possible cooking utensil and toy you could want. The home was so clean, quiet, comfortable, and well-equipped. We really appreciated not having to bring baby gear along as the home had both a high chair and pack and play. Lastly, Tim and Michelle were LOVELY. Very detailed in all instructions and clearly cared a lot about how we were doing during our stay. We hope to return again!

This was our second visit. The house is incredible. Open concept and tons of space for our family. The downstairs living area provides large couches, hundreds of DVDs, board games, ping pong, billiards, video game. Etc…. We enjoyed the kayaks and stand up paddle boards on the lake and the fire pits at night. Tim and Michelle are excellent hosts who communicate regularly. Our son dropped his iPhone in the lake and Tim connected us with a local diver who retrieved it the next day and mailed it to us 7 hours away (and it works!!). We look forward to renting again in the future. Such a fun home!!!
