Recent Outer Banks guest reviews

Everything was excellent. Will only book through Vacasa in the future
Shelley S. | Dec 2024
Perfect location for a large family getaway.
Kendra V. | Dec 2024
Took my 85 year old dad to the beach for Thanksgiving. This condo was PERFECT! All 1 level, no stairs, which can be challenging to find when most homes/buildings on the coast are elevated. Condo was perfect for someone with mobility issues. It was clean and decorated nice. Beds were comfy. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We couldn’t have been happier and plan to book again when we return!
