Lovely beach getaway

We enjoyed our stay very much. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. There was so much to do in the area and a lot of it was walking distance, including the beach itself. We would definitely recommend!

Our family (two adults, a teen, a kid, and a dog) had a lovely stay here. We very much appreciated the property being pet-friendly, as well as the walkability around the neighborhood, to the beach, and to Ashley’s Espresso Parlor! We also enjoyed the proximity to several local attractions including the Wright Brothers Memorial, Jockey Ridge State Park, Duck, and Roanoke Island. The hot tub was also a plus!Natalie’s communication was excellent - she responded promptly to all messages and was very helpful. We’re all glad this home was available for our stay!

Convenient location, house was and clean and comfortable, owners were very responsive. Had four teenagers with us and they loved being able to walk to the go kart/arcade/mini golf place and Dunkin Donuts at the top of the street. Would definitely stay here again!

Great House!

We went to KDH for a few days over Spring Break. The house was very clean and well-equipped with anything you may need. It is in a nice neighborhood, perfect for walking. Lots of restaurants and activities very close by also!

Great spot to stay in Outer Banks

We had a great time staying here for about a week. The house was exactly as described in the description and was very clean and the remodeling was very nice and everything felt very fresh and new. The house is a very easy walk to a couple mile path that goes right along the bay, great for walking, running or bike riding. The owner is very nice and checked in with me to make sure the experience was going well. Check in and check out we’re easy too. Very glad we decided to stay here.

Amazing stay

My family of 5 traveled at the end of June. We found the property to be exactly as described and loved the fact that it was in a quiet neighborhood. The check-in process started to feel tough when the door code wouldn’t work but Natalie was immediate with her response and solution. She’s a top notch, quick communicator. The house was close to everything, had very comfortable mattresses on all beds, and we absolutely loved the hot tub. We would definitely return!

Perfect Vacay Before the Start of School Year

A perfect way to end summer vacation before a busy school year starts. The beach house was well appointed and very clean. The owners did a great job at communicating expectations, the check-in process, and the amenities available. The hot tub was serviced well and clean. The house is on a quiet street near the sound and a short walk to the beach. Great stay!

Just what our family needed!

This was perfect for our family of 5 (three teen boys). We rented bikes for the week which made it super easy to get around. Loved the bay side bike path and the straight shot to the ocean beach. Mini golf & shops were also close... we loved it!
