Recent Outer Banks vacation rental reviews

Great beach access and the view of the sunrise was spectacular.
Mark P. | Apr 2024
Where to start? We had a group of 13 people and there was not a moment that we felt even slightly crowded. The house is so spacious with huge rooms and wide hallways and super tall ceilings. The view of the sound out of the back of the house is breathtaking! We loved having a table that was able to seat all of us to eat and the kitchen is amazing! Better stocked than most regular homes with pans, bowls dishes, glasses, silverware, baking dishes, cutting boards enough to host very large crowds. We loved that on both floors the bedroom wings are separated by french doors so that people can be up and about in the kitchen/great room or in the game room on the first floor while others are sleeping with no problem. The game room on the first floor was a blast! We used it constantly and we also loved the family room down there which gave a second tv watching/hangout area. The hot tub on the deck is amazing! Overlooking the sound and it fits 7 people. Very clean and in great shape! We used it several times per day! We also used the kayaks that were there in the sound and that was so much fun. The neighborhood is great - so quiet and such friendly and helpful neighbors. Very close to anything we needed as far as stores, beaches, etc. Beds are very comfortable. Also loved that there are washer/dryers on both floors. Just a fantastic vacation home overall. Highly recommend!!
