1/2 Mi to Beach Access: Southern Shores Gem + Deck

The house was adequate. Renters should know that the management company is very strict about no cars on the street, on the grass, or no more than three cars in the driveway. I made the mistake of having some family members who were staying close by over for dinner. Within 30 minutes, I got harassing phone calls and texts that the number of cars in driveway had exceeded the limit and there were too many people in the house. Very embarrassing for me. Someone from management showed up at the house within an hour (at 8:15 pm) to break up our party where the average age was 55 years old. There are tennis courts and pickleball close by, but courts are locked so they are not accessible to renters. I asked about this in advance and was not given an answer. No grill which is odd for a beach house. Nice selection of books. They should add 1984 to their collection - that was my experience.

The home was very clean and organized. The community was quiet and relaxing and we were very close to two beaches. Hillcrest Beach is our new fav spot. As a family it was nice to have puzzles, games and books during our down time between activities. Definitely recommend and everything was in order. Also communication of needed information from owners was very much appreciated. Could not have asked for a better beach experience.

This home a wonderful place to stay. Very clean and beautifully decorated. It was a perfect size for my family 7. Just minutes away from a private gorgeous beach. Minutes away from restaurants and shopping.

Our family of 6 stayed at this property in the southern shores. The space is beautiful, really secluded space, ample space for everyone. Nice kitchen set up. We loved the wrap around porch for coffee and to relax. A few min drive to the ocean.

Easy in & easy out. We rented bikes and road to the beach everyday!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage had loads of charm and great spaces to spend time together in. Our hosts offered great communication and were very accommodating. The location was easy to get with peaceful privacy after fun at the beach. We definitely recommend it and hope to return again soon.

You really enjoy nature on your visit. The neighbors are friendly, the house is very homely, even though some personal items could have been omitted so it could be more homely for the visitor, and a tv in each room is something to consider when other retire for the night. The stay was great, we all enjoyed.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. I traveled with my three children and elderly parents. The house was intricately cleaned, new furniture and amenities, and very thoughtfully decorated. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. Very close to the beach and the village of Duck. I would highly recommend this property for a relaxing time!

Trying to rent this property was extremely easy, but everything else went down hill from there. I'm not honna

I wish I was better with words…. But here we go… we’ve got beaches, views, gorgeous neighborhood, friendly locals/ neighbors… the property is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, inside and out. The only thing harder than leaving the beach, was leaving this property. We made a 9 year old very happy for her surprise birthday on OBX. I couldn’t have picked a better, safer place to take my children for their first beach experience! Thank you for letting others experience your little slice of paradise!
