Really like the property and stay. Host was great and friendly who also responded to all my concerns. Parking lot was wide and rooms were too clean. Walk to the beach and into town. Also two bedrooms. So I really liked the Skipper for more than one person like myself with plenty or room.

Very nice property just a short walk from the beach. From the beach, you can easily walk to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, although it was unfortunately under renovation during our stay. The house is spacious, and the outdoor shower was a great feature after spending time at the beach. The host was very helpful, responsive, and easy to communicate.

Love the old school Buxton charm. Reminded me of my childhood. Was perfect for our family of 3. Right in the heart of Buxton! Will be back for sure!

The place is so much better than the photos! We loved the cabin feel if the place, and it had everything we needed. It was fun to explore the island, the beaches, museums and restaurants! One thing to be aware of is that the beaches nearest to the house is not good for swimming because of hazards under the water from fallen houses. However, a very short drive in any direction will take you to gorgeous beaches! We loved a beach just 2 miles north.

Linda was super friendly. Check in was easy. Super easy quick walk to the beach. House is small. But we spent most of our time out and about so it was fine. Nice area. We had a LOT of fun. And being so close to the beach was nice, and convenient. I would definitely recommend. One issue came up, but it was addressed quickly and resolved quickly. Linda and her husband we really easy to talk to.

Our stay was very nice, the climate control in the rental was wonderful especially with the hot beach days. It was clean and I loved that there was a smart tv to stream on in the evenings. We brought our own board games but I appreciated that there were some provided. The rooms were also very clean and comfortable.

Calm and Peaceful!

The Skipper was cozy and comfortable. Plenty of space for us. Comfy beds! The kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach. Groceries and beach shopping was less than a mile away. This is our 2nd year at this property.

Nice for the price

We really enjoyed our stay at the Skipper. The location was amazing and although dated, everything was clean, comfortable, and in working order (except for the outdoor shower and sink, but no big deal. We just rinsed off in the hose).
