Great house for large groups
This house worked really well for our group with multiple families. The only issue we had was the cleanliness. The house had some areas that could have been cleaner but other than that we had a great week!

Goodbye to The Oaks
We have been at the Oaks for 4 years and are disappointed that the price doubled next year, so we have moved to another house. It is a great house, with nice features but needs some attention as it is starting to show some wear and tear. The kitchen items need to be reviewed as things are lacking. We will miss coming back......

Another great family vacation!
we have been doing family vacations to the OBX for more than 30 years. Last year we switched to The Oaks and we love it! we appreciate that the owners are making changes to ensure that the kitchen, elevator, etc. are all working and up-to-date. The design and furniture of the house are very comfortable. They have many amenities to make the stay even better (although a new grill would be great!). We have signed up for next year.

WISH THIS WAS MY HOUSE!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THE 2000' DOCK, THE PRIVATE BEACH ON THE PAMLICO, & THE GOD GIVEN SUNSETS. LOTS OF SPACE TO COMMUNE OR ISOLATE. THE WELL APPOINTED KITCHEN HAS A SPECTACULAR VIEW AS DO ALL PORCHES AND ROOMS! THE ELEVATOR MAKES IT EASY BUT THEMY STEPS WORK THE LEGS & CORE! MY DOG LOVES THE WHOLE SHABANG AS DOES MY HUBS. CLOSE TO BUXTON, THE LIGHTHOUSES, & SUPER SURFING AND FISHING... I REPEAT I WISH THIS WAS OUR HOME.

Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness
Great View
I especially like having a private pier, a private pool, and the home being pet friendly. The elevator was a plus, especially since I had knee surgery. The view from the decks and eagle's nest were beautiful. The negatives: there was a large pet feces stain in the master bedroom that smelled awful. I didn't notice it until I went to bed the first night. I reported it the next morning but it wasn't taken care of until the third day. I did not leave a tip for cleaning crew as I normally do because this was a huge oversite and they clearly didn't even sweep because there was debris on the floors. The shower in the master ensuite als had mildew on the bottom of the glass sliding door. Furnishings could use an update, as well as the master ensuite.

Our family enjoyed this house, location and amenities. The private pier and sound side beach worked perfect for us with small kids. It was also great to beach our jet skis to tie up overnight. There is a marina very close by. There are kayaks, a paddle board and some other beach gear provided. Great sunset views. Easy bicycle ride distance from stores, coffee shops and restaurants. Pool heat was good for swimming. Thoughtful owners who gave starter supplies and fresh flowers. Linens provided. Simple check out, no laundry list of things to do. No complaints from our group. We have been vacationing on Hatteras island yearly for 6 years. We enjoyed this location more than previously staying in Waves, Salvo and Rodanthe. We looked at booking this house again for next year, but unfortunately 2025 price is 150% of this years price.

Great house!
Really enjoyed spending the week in this house with friends that traveled here from all over the country. The private pier and beach area can't be beat. Only issue was that for paying $420 extra for pool heat I think the guests should be able to control the temperature as it was set at 82 degrees but that's a bit chilly in early June for pool water.

This place was great!
The private boardwalk to the sound was awesome! The pool was nice, once we finally got the heat turned on. The layout was perfect for us (a couple - early 50s) with two teenage boys, my mom, my niece and her boyfriend and my daughter-in-law and our 1-year-old grandson. Close to Food Lion and on our favorite island, Avon!

This place is very nice! There wasn't anything more you could ask for in this house...no convenience was left out! All the rest rooms, game room, theater room, hot tub, pool, outside shower, elevator, jet tub, spacious kitchen and living room, multiple appliances, ample parking...if you made up a wish list, this house checked it off!

House was great, maintenance not so much
The house was great. It had everything we needed and everything you could imagine you needed on a vacation. Our issue was the pool filter was not working and I called everyday and everyday they said they would send maintenance. The pool filter only worked one day. I wasn't happy about that, neither were my kids.

Great home!
Our stay was wonderful! The house was so big, clean and it accommodated our family very well! The private dock, beach and pool were glorious amenities to the house. We met the owners twice. Once while checking the house out before we stayed there because we live a few hours away, and then the second time, when we arrived. They were such an awesome couple! We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone!

This is a wonderful home that gives you views of the sound that are second to none! The private sound side beach area was great for the kids. It’s calm, warm and not deep. Between the ocean, the sound and the amenities in the house there was always something to do.

Absolutely fabulous - would highly recommend!
We just returned from a week-long stay at The Oaks and can't stop talking about it. The house is beautiful, spacious and well-appointed. The access to the sound is great; we were able to take the dogs to their own private beach, fish off the pier, kayak and quickly walk/bike/scooter out to the water. The set-up of the house is wonderful. We had 13 adults and everyone had their own space and bathroom. The beach club access was great to be able to park right at the beach. And, oh, the sunsets! We had one small issue arise during our stay and the owners came right by to fix it. We couldn't have asked for anything more - perfect vacation house for a big group!

Overall the House was good, Items that need addressed, 1) the ice machine in fridge top floor not working, 2) the 2nd floor fridge leaks water everywhere, 3) The 2nd floor bedroom door handle locks you out needs changed, 4) the room with twin beds that shower does not work
