Great communication! And she was super flexible and let us check in early! I found the unit very clean and also well stocked with cleaning supplies which always makes it easier to keep it nice and de clutteredWe love Frisco and Avon and getting away from the big crowd, so Frisco is perfect for us! We had a great holiday and a great vacation and I would highly recommend this spot!

Perfect Location for a Fishing Trip
House was very clean, well stocked, and the property owner was quick to answer any questions I had.
Located between bait shops, restaurants, the sound and the beach. Met every requirement we had, then some. Highly recommended

Accommodating
During our stay one of the guest locked us out of the property by accident. I sent a text to the owners and within minutes were given access to a lock box and able to regain entry into the property. Very accommodating host, we will be staying with them again.

Perfect getaway spot
We were on OBX with a large group of people and decided we'd prefer our own space for sleeping. Tranquil Tides was clean, the air was on when we arrived and it had everything we needed. We were only 2 miles from our friends house. It was perfect for our needs! Will definitely return!

New year vacation
Heather and Kelly were great. We had a wonderful very relaxing stay. A lot of the attractions were closed for the month of January, but we visited the grounds of the lighthouses, took the ferry to Ocracoke, visited the Wright Brothers Memorial, and the beach.
