Bright And Cozy Two Room Unit, Close To Beach And Sound -- Perfect For Two!

This was our third time staying here and it’s always been one of the best places we have stayed. Clean, convenient and quite.

Great place to stay!

Beautiful accommodations, very well decorated and very comfortable. We had adult children stay here for a family visit, and they highly recommend this apartment for 2 and the gracious hosts were wonderful to work with. Highly recommend this for a quiet OBX stay

“the recess” was a perfect place for our first couples vacation, the owners were so accommodating and nice. even with people staying upstairs it was quiet and we had nice evenings. i would definitely come stay here again:)

Our stay was fabulous! Mike and Marylee went above and beyond to provide us a clean and cozy place to stay. Mike was quick to respond from the start with any questions that I had. Check In/ Out could not have been any smoother and Mike even contacted me to let me know that the house was available before our assigned check in time. “Recess” is the perfect little beach cottage for two people! The location is great and close to the beach. The area is filled with nice places to shop and great restaurants! Having such a great place to stay just enhanced our experience to OBX! I highly recommend Mike and Marylee’s beach home.

Recess was the perfect place for our week getaway! The property was very clean and the hospitality was superb! We will definitely revisit it the future.

This place was fantastic!! It was spotless when we arrived! Went away to the outerbanks for the first time and our first impression of OBX could not have been better! This place had everything we needed!! It was a super plus that the grill outside had a stove top as we were able to order a seafood boil pot and steam it at the place! Will definitely come back!

Recess truly feels like a home away from home. Mike and Mary have provided everything needed to have a great beach vacation and it’s such a good location we can’t wait to come back

Mini splits used for heating and cooling made it very easy to control room temperatures. Bay side paved walkway for morning walks was close by. Host was great!

My wife and I had a great time and look forward to going back. Neat and clean with great owners. AAA for us

This cute place was perfect for my partner and i! The house is pretty close to beach access, the main roads and the lighthouses (: thank you!

This was my second stay at Recess and it was perfect as the first. I'll definitely be back!!

Ideal for my purposes.

This property was as described (no surprises). We really appreciated the timely response of the owners when we had questions. The location of the VRBO is great. My husband really enjoyed using the outdoor shower. We also appreciated the suggestions for places to eat (they were all great)! Thanks again!

We had a great visit, this property was very clean and had everything we needed.

I loved staying at Recess. It was so cute and had amenity you could want.

My 22-year-old son & I went and stayed at Recess, our first time at the Outer Banks. It was his birthday weekend so we had just a little getaway. The property was very clean and the hosts were awesome to work with. The only thing, and it was a totally my mishap was the size of the place. My Son is 6’2 and about 215 pounds. So it was a bit smaller than what I had originally thought. But the host provided a cot/mattress that we could use. Like I said, that was my fault not paying attention to the exact measurements of the property. Other than that, I would highly recommend Recess!!

We loved our stay so much last year we booked again! conveniently located to just about everything but located in a quiet neighborhood.

Very nice place.... easy to come and go...great accomodations!

Recess was a fantastic stay! It was very welcoming with all of the amenities along with a welcome note from the host. I Would highly suggest the stay for a couple. Very clean and organized. the host provided a lot of information previous to arriving. It was a short easy bike ride straight to the beach.

The place was very clean and comfortable although a little small.

My husband and I really enjoyed staying at Mike and Marys ground unit. It had everything we needed: comfortable bed, outdoor seating areas and close to the beach and shops! We also got to meet Mike and Mary and they were very nice and accommodating. We will definitely be back :)

The perfect spot for a quick getaway! Recess had everything we could possibly need and Mike and Mary Lee were so attentive and kind. We’re looking forward to going back! Thank you for the hospitality!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Recess! It was such a nice place with all you need for a getaway to the beach. The space is very detailed and the owners provider great communication and response!
