Classic, updated beach house surrounded by live oaks. This 4 bedroom, 2 bath home is within walking distance to the beautiful beaches of Southern Shores on the Outer Banks. You'll have a well-equipped kitchen with a gas range for cooking and all modern stainless steel appliances and a large comfortable sofa in the great room with a flat screen TV, DVD player, cable, and board games. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs, each with a queen bed and private deck, sharing a bathroom. The main floor has one bedroom with a king-size bed and one bedroom with two twin beds.

Comfortable, clean, conveniently located
We enjoyed our stay in this charming pet-friendly house. The house is well-furnished and clean. The setup of the house was very comfortable for everyone and it was well-stocked with bedding, towels, kitchen supplies, and beach items. The multi-gate system for the deck and lawn gave us great peace of mind for our dogs. The hosts were very helpful and communicative with us. Thank you for a great stay!

Comfortable stay
Our family of six adults and one child with dogs enjoyed our stay at this beach house. It was close to beach access and beach parking. The fenced backyard was wonderful and the house was comfortable and well stocked. Our only complaint is that the shared upstairs bathroom door did not lock and there are no bathroom vents. This made it a little awkward going to the bathroom but would not keep us from renting again. The bedrooms were well furnished and the beds were comfortable. If you have anyone in your group with mobility issues just be aware that the steps to the upstairs could be a challenge. We enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful trip.

Everything you could need, in a lovely and quiet setting
We could not be happier with our stay here! The location is perfect: so close to the beach, yet quiet and private. The entire area was very nice. The property was spotlessly clean, and everything is of good quality and in excellent condition. The rooms are spacious, with plenty of storage and extra blankets, pillows, towels, etc. The kitchen has everything one could possibly need, and then some, in addition to high-end appliances and beautiful countertops. Every aspect of this property offers anything you could need. It was an absolute pleasure to stay here and we hope to return next summer.

Lovely stay close to the beach
We had a truly lovely time in Southern Shores at this property. The area/ neighborhood felt very safe and peaceful, and had all the amenities we needed - perfect for a stay where we just wanted to go screenless, cook, and walk to the beach. Our dogs loved sunbathing on the deck and with the multiple gates and fenced backyard, we never worried about them escaping and getting lost! Location is very convenient with no essential service less than 5 mins drive. Thank you so much for hosting us!

A delight!
I set out to rent a house in Duck but all the houses were really too big (sleeps 18?). I was looking for a comfortable dog friendly home reasonably close to the beach. Boy did we luck out. The house was very nice. The fenced in backyard was perfect. But the neighborhood!! I hadn’t heard of Southern Shores, but it is a delight. Shh!!! Don’t tell anyone!

Relaxing Stay
My family and family's dog stayed here the 2nd week of September. Fantastic trip. The hosts Drew and Sarah were very responsive in answering some pre-trip questions and then getting us sorted out mid-trip to stay an added day. A few items around the place need some maintenance but overall it's a lovely property that is clean, well-furnished, private and well-located. On the first day, I was concerned with my older parents getting to the beach as it is a 10 min. walk, but to our surprise, the parking lots which passes are provided for were always 90-100% empty so we began driving to the beach for most trips. The walk is fine for non-seniors. There's a lighted cross-walk to cross over the main road to the beach - it did take 5 minutes to change but it's great for safety so I appreciated it. The property has a large, fenced backyard and the deck has stairs that lead directly down into the yard - there's a gate across the front-yard stairs. This made keeping my family's Beagle on the property a delight. You can just open either of the main doors off the deck to let your dog run on the deck or down to the backyard. While not beach-front property, the location is great being down a quiet and private neighborhood and it's only a 10-15 min. drive to restaurants and shops in both the Duck and Kitty Hawk directions. There were just a couple others on the beach ever. Rooms are well furnished and there's a good selection of beach gear. We'll be staying here again.

Amazing vacation
Drew and Sarah’s house is wonderful for all ages. It is clean, spacious, and just a 10-minute walk from the beach. They have thought of everything, including a beach cart to bring any of the many treasures in their storage room that they lend to guests. It was a huge perk for packing and then shopping when we arrived there to be able to focus just on the basics, like groceries, but not on things like spices, a spatula, or a cutting board. They’ve got plenty of extras, too, like an air fryer, blender, and slow cooker. They are super communicative, and are great VRBO hosts. We’re a multigenerational family of 6 plus dog, and everyone was happy. Thank you, Drew and Sarah!

Wonderful home
Lovely home in a quiet neighborhood close enough for the family to walk to the beach. Fully stocked kitchen, so making meals for the family was a breeze. All the beach gear was right there, so we really didn't need to bring anything! Lots to do for the kids with a nice amount of games on hand and a great big smart TV for movie night. We had a wonderful week at this special home in a great neighborhood!

The home is in a great location, close to grocery stores, a few restaurants and of course the beach. The home has a great backyard that was enjoyed by our dogs. The home has a lot of extras that you may have forgotten so you are covered (beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards etc). Overall it is a great house in a great location!

lovely home and great for dogs!
Our host Drew was extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay! Great property for dogs and families and large yard. Please note it is quite dark in the evenings with all the surrounding woods (though lovely and private) but makes it difficult to see pups when they are in the far part of back yard at night. The side and back light does help light up most of the yard though. We had LED lighted collars which enabled us to see the pups and recommend those for evening if you want to see where your pups are in the far corners. House had everything we needed and then some! Lots of extra bedding and towels if you need (we did not however but good to know they were available), and several baby/pet gates. Appreciated the "pup towels" for drying off our pups after morning beach walks. Stairs to top level are tricky for dogs not used to non-carpeted steps but our young pups adjusted quickly. Those with older pups might want to be aware of this and keep them on main level. Huge deck to enjoy! Plenty of available beach parking if you don't want to walk the entire way (including shower area and water for dogs in lot).

Very Dog Friendly and Quiet
We were a party of four and brought our beautiful German Shepherd Athena. The home and neighborhood are very dog friendly and quiet. We brought our own things to use but the home was very stocked with essentials and very clean. The deck was a nice size, and the gates were nice if we wanted Athena to not follow us. Very nice place and would definitely book again.
