Annual Labor Day getaway

Great spot on the canal, quiet neighborhood that was perfect for walking the dog and playing with the kids. No traffic besides local residents that were super friendly. Proximity to our favorite spots on the island was great. Will definitely stay here again.

Lovely stay at Otter’s Pub

My husband and I had a terrific week in this home. We took nice long walks in the neighborhood with our dog. We sat on the porch and enjoyed the water. The home was well appointed with everything we needed. We even made use of the kayaks and wandered around the canals and the bay. This was the perfect spot for us to get away to enjoy the area.

First time in Frisco

Although we have rented on Hatteras for many years, this was our first stay in this house and in this area. We enjoyed the peaceful streets for bike rides. We loved being right on the canal to watch the birds and fish. The house was very clean, and the kitchen contained everything we needed for the many meals we cooked. The house is a very nice size.

Wonderful Location

This was our second visit to Otter's Pub and we were as pleased with this visit as we had been with our past visit. The house is very clean and perfectly located for kayaking, eating outside by the bay and close to the beach. The street is nice and quiet which is perfect for biking or walking our dog. We love that the deck can be closed in which allowed our pup to hang out outside without worry. We would absolutely recommend this rental to anyone looking for a cute little place on the water with owners who are so kind and responsive!

Great location. We had a wonderful long weekend!

I wish I had known that the downstairs suite was a lockout without indoor access to the rest of the house. Usually linens provided includes towels. Luckily I had packed a few.

Great home, quiet neighborhood, and fantastic hosts

This is a great cozy home along the sound in a quiet neighborhood. It has beautiful stained glass accents and a great porch/outdoor dining area to watch the sunset. The hosts are fantastic. They warned us about hurricane Idalia a day or so before we drove down, kept us posted and instructed us where to move our vehicle when it reached Outerbanks. It took alot of anxiety away knowing what to do and how to stay safe. They also shared a list of some of their favorite resturants and nearby attractions and every resturant that they recommended was delicious.

Need for Rest

We enjoyed our stay. The deck area could have been enjoyed more if the large table was not there. The cabin sleeps 4 but the table is for 8. The deck is not large enough to accommodate a table that size. We could only enjoy the two high top chairs and table to sit outside. It would be better to have more comfortable chairs there instead of large table. Location was fantastic.

Loved Otter’s Pub!

We had an awesome vacation in Frisco. The location of this house is great—close to Frisco beach, restaurants and areas for beach driving. The house itself offers beautiful views of the canal—quiet and relaxing. Just what we needed. I definitely recommend this house. Please do note that the second bathroom is downstairs and you need to go outside to access it—like a separate apartment if you will. Wasn’t an issue for us but something to be aware of. And to the owners, thank you so much for being pet friendly. Our golden loved it as well.😊

Great house but disappointed in water since we love to swim!

John and Cheryl were great and the house was clean and had everything we needed! We didn’t realize the upper floor and lower floor were not accessible without going outside - had a toddler that could not be allowed to run freely between. Otherwise loved the space and ideal for fishing and kayaking . Water is a canal and not so inviting to swim.

Wonderful quiet place on the canal

We absolutely loved the Otters Pub. Just big enough that all the kids have room but not 4 flights of stairs to climb. Grandma had her own little place downstairs for the kids to visit. A wonderdul porch to get of the sun. The teens loved the kayaks that was there. Unfortunately if youre wanting to fish it's not that good but didn't stop the kids from hand lining crabs right from the backyard. Everything we forgot they had there for us. We will certainty try to book this house again. There's no beach or direct sound access that was public in the development but the neighbors didnt complain about the teen boys trying their luck fishing in there backyards.

Wonderful place and location.

We had a great stay. Loved all the thoughtful small things, like a small pack of toilet paper (super helpful before our grocery store run) and bottles of wine, beach chairs and umbrella and boogie boards. Not having to bring our own bed linens was a huge plus. The downstairs bedroom was great for the few days my Mom visited, upstairs was prefect for us and our two daughters. Location was ideal with easy access to tons of stuff. The Frisco beach is amazing, easy parking, bathrooms, it was never crowded, and perfect sand and ocean. Loved the kayaks and took several trips into the sound! One thing I would suggest checking is the dryer. It took up to 4 cycles on high to dry a load of towels each time. Not a major thing, but worth looking in to. Thanks for a great family vacay!
