Fantastic location both for beach access and driving to and from area restaurants and shops. You set up your beach gear in the morning and can go back and forth just over the dunes to this beachfront home all day long. Newer furnishings and appliances, beautiful oceanfront views and the convenient location made for a great vacation with friends.

Not very clean-some things need replaced - they are old, broken or dirty. (Vents, underneath bed, wood looked moldy in one bathroom, dirt/trash disgusting under dishwasher (yuck)… comforters dirty stinky(we used our own) Places in the home could be cleaned better. Repairs are half/ass and look it… cheap Air didn’t work correctly at first and we reported it and ask for fans. The temp in the home got to 90- owners said there is a Walmart if we wanted fans.. not very accommodating…We had elderly people with us with COPD… The air finally got fixed..

House and location was perfect!
We loved the house and the location was so perfect! Being able to bring our dogs and have a fenced in area beneath the house to keep our fur babies safe was a big plus. A couple things that we had trouble with the living room TV and would like to have more deck chairs for the top deck to enjoy the beach views. We are planning to schedule again next year around September!

Spectacular View!!
The best ocean views I've seen. Liked the enclosed area for my dog. We are now making him a sand box for home as a potty area. He could run out on the decks and go downstairs to his potty area without fears that he will get away. It was nice to have extra bathrooms to accommodate my family.

Location, location, location!
This property had the best view we've ever had at OBX, sweeping vistas of the ocean from the decks and living areas. In addition the beach was not crowded at all because there's no public access nearby. There were 8 of us, which I would suggest be the max. The table seats 6 with 3 additional seats at the island. Ignore reviews from previous years because the renovations seem to have addressed the problems.

Awesome location right on the beach
This property was perfect for our family beach vacation with our dog. The house is on the beach—you walk out onto the dune and then right down to the water. Couldn’t be any closer. You can see the waves from both floors. The house was comfortable—clean with everything we needed. There is a lot to do nearby, but the neighborhood was quiet. We highly recommend.

Great location plus it’s pet friendly with lots of room . The only negatives is if you like to cook bring your own pots then ones they have are older . Also pack toilet paper , paper towels , kitchen towels garbage bags . Some places provide them , this doesn’t . Other than that it’s a nice place with great views of the ocean

GREAT HOME
My family and I loved this home. There views from the bedrooms downstairs was nothing short of aammmaazzziingg!!!! The home is not fancy, it felt like a home, you were comfortable that if the children made a mess it was ok. The beds were comfortable. It was more than enough room for 3 adults and 4 children ages 17,12,9, and 2. Any thing that needed to be fixed, it was easy to communicate that with the owners and there response was quick. Mr Bob was very kind. We will be staying here again.
