"We had an incredible time at this vacation rental! The home was exactly as described—clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed, and the beds were super comfortable.The location was perfect—close to the beach, peaceful and private. The outdoor space was a highlight, with a great deck to view the horses around the NEIGHborhood. We even had a few in the front and back yard. The host was fantastic—responsive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed for a stress-free stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!"

"We loved our stay at the property! Everything was extremely clean and this was a well-stocked home with excellent amenities and everything you need for a small or large group. It was a cooler time of year, but we still enjoyed beach walks and drives around where we would see the horses. The owners provided clear instructions and their info on airing down for beach access was essential! "

"Wonderful and clean! "

"We had a fun spring break hang out with family. The pool, the beach, the horses, the seashell, the quality family time......it was all perfect."

"The house is absolutely incredible and a very nice place to stay. The homeowner is a joy to work with. The horses come right around the house and the ocean never disappoints! Hope to stay again! "

"Great time, awsome location.As we were leaving onw car got stuck on the beach, Drew Rozella, who does the maintenence for the house came to the rescue. What Good dude. "

"Perfectly simple. Everything one might need for a beach getaway. Kitchen, living room, bedroom and bath all well appointed and comfy cozy. TV in living room has a great sound bar that served as a wonderful Bluetooth speaker, and another massive TV in the bedroom for lazing around if you catch a bit of bad weather. Great little deck out front with views to the North, East and South, and if you catch a clear night, the heavens above. Star-filled skies that will astound. "

"Would definitely stay here again! It was the perfect kitchen for a larger Thanksgiving meal and as a bonus, there were two fridges. The house was very clean with great access to the beach. From the second story, you can see the water. And of course, there were lots of horses."

"Our family of 4 enjoyed a quiet time in the outer banks at this lovely beach house. November isn't exactly the time most folks visit the beach, but we've spent most of our lives in the far north, so the "chilly weather" didn't prevent us from enjoying kayaking in the inner channels and viewing the sunset from the crow's nest. We found the kitchen very adequate; we were able to cook a lovely thanksgiving dinner and ate quite well the entire time. We packed all our needs/food for the weekend so we wouldn't have to make the drive back into town for anything. We did bring our bikes, but the soft sand proved too difficult for fun, so I would discourage anyone from bothering with hauling those out. The views from the deck were great and the glass doors allowed so much light in. The wild horses visited us directly on the property on our first night and on the morning of our departure. They were such an added bonus to the trip. The drive wasn't too difficult (in our 4x4 F150)- it's much easier if you can time your drive to be during low tide, however the on and off ramps to the beach are soft sandy dunes, so it can still get you into trouble if you stop in those areas. I really liked the remoteness of the property, my kids really enjoyed their own bedrooms, kayaks and the horses. My husband enjoyed the crow's nest the most, especially when our girls played their flute and clarinet at sunset. Overall, an excellent visit, my kids want to come out again when it's beach season!"
