This house was perfect for our family of 4 plus pups! The kitchen table was nice and large to play games and the beds and bathrooms were clean and tidy.The walkway to the beach was very easy and the outside decks allowed us to always have views of the water.I really appreciated the mud room with the washer/dryer to help organize stuff and the fenced in yard was so helpful.The only suggestion I would have is to update the screened in porch and include a larger table to eat outside.

First Ever Stay at a Rental

First stay at an online rental. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Clean, spacious, and lots of amenities. Parking right next to the unit. Very easy access to the beach. Outdoor shower to wash the sand off. Dog friendly. We would stay here again and would recommend it to anyone.

Great Location

This house is in a great location. Well stocked. We enjoyed the crows nest the most! Just a couple suggestions to make- the king mattress was extremely uncomfortable and sunk in on both sides. Might be time to replace. Also, since this is a pet friendly rental, carpets on the stairs inside would be nice. Our dog had a hard time going up and down. Otherwise, everything was great!

Beach Cottage

Great location! This house is on the beach side with maybe 3 or 4 other houses in front of the beach. Only a short walk to the beach. We went to the Wrights Brothers National Memorial (20 minutes), jockeys ridge state park (10 minutes), and cape hatteras light house (1 hour). The house was clean, beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans and plates and bowls and utensils. great view of ocean from the crows nest. Front fenced yard is dog friendly.

Great location!

House is a little dated, but location was good! Right on beach and near many restaurants. Only complaint is towels feel like sand paper and are way too rough. Plus fenced in area for dog is very tiny and best for a small dog not big enough for a big dog!

Fall Getaway

We spent 4 days at Laughing Gull #1 and had a wonderful stay! The beach is just right over the dune and it's within walking distance of Jeanette's Pier. We were fortunate to have a warm weather day and our girls played in the ocean and enjoyed the hot water shower outside. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The bunk bed room, queen room and laundry room are on the entry level. Upstairs is the king bedroom, living room and kitchen. Both levels have a full bathroom. The layout of the house was ideal for our family.

Great Winter Getaway

We came up for a short weekend trip to go to the aquarium. Home was clean, well maintained and had beautiful sunrise views from the crows nest. We will be back for a warmer stay. We traveled with a 7 month old baby and a 16lb frenchie. Both loved the room and the frenchie enjoyed having a fenced in area to run.

Can't wait to go back!

We loved our trip! We will definitely be returning to the same house. We saved so much money by not having to board our dogs. The home was perfectly set up for pets, and we loved being able to share our vacation with our furry babies. The house was clean and so cute! It's the perfect location on the sand (no streets for the kids to cross to go to the beach). Management was very kind and communicative. Can't wait to go again.
