Recent Outer Banks guest reviews

When we arrived, we were oberwhelmed by this well equipped home with his very nice design. Perfectly located at the canal, we loved to sit in the living room, watching the boats and fishes. Restaurants, beach and shops are nearby. We would love to come again!
Yvonne B. | Aug 2024
This house was great! Very comfortable, very clean. The house had everything you can ask for, the black stone grill was a great addition and very useful. The screened in patio was perfect for outdoor breakfast. The location was great, beach less than 3 min drive and centered in the middle of anything you could ask for from groceries to Dunkin to Starbucks to Wings to Dicks crab house (which is a hidden gem). I highly recommend this house and I hope I have the opportunity to rent this again next year.
