It felt like we were staying in a well loved family home by the ocean. We ranged in age from 16 months old to 88 years old and were all at home. Great grandma needed a little help climbing the stairs up to the house, but once inside didn’t have to worry about stairs inside the house. Clean, comfortable with great views of the dunes and ocean and the best hot tub I’ve soaked in. Thankful to have stayed here. Great proximity to stores and restaurants. Highly recommended.
Enjoyed this little gem of a cottage by the sea. All of beach desires fulfilled. Very clean, updated and close to everything we needed. Will be booking again.
This home was perfect for our family of 3 adults and 2 kids. It was very clean, the updated kitchen was well stocked, and there was plenty of seating. We enjoyed being able to walk right onto the beach or enjoy the view from the deck chairs. Restaurants and shopping are close by. We hope to return some day!
We had an amazing time at Gracie Bell's. The layout worked perfectly for our family of 5 with two teen boys. We loved being able to hear the ocean at night and to walk there first thing in the morning. The kitchen was fully stocked. Highly recommend.
Great location and property! Be mindful you’ll need to supply your own sheets and towels (rent or purchase). Kitchen is well stocked for making meals at home and the house is clean. Overall a great place to enjoy the Outer Banks!
Clean house and great location! We had a great time.
We had an amazing stay at Gracie Bell's-Anita is the best VRBO host we have ever had. So responsive with any questions I had before and during trip, home was immaculate, hot tub was incredible and cleaned twice while we were there, which was great! Views were breathtaking, dolphins at sunrise and sunset from the deck. We will absolutely be booking again!
Cute property. Loved that it was right in the beach. Rained the whole time we were there but we had a great time anyway. Thank you!
If you are looking for an amazing, on the beach, very clean, so cozy you won't want to leave home, this is it!!!! Anita is so friendly and responsive a truly a great host. You won't find a better rental, just look at the reviews. We did and were not disappointed, exceeded our expectations , and a hot tub to boot. Thank you Anita we will be back again .
We spent almost two weeks at this lovely property over Thanksgiving. We loved being right on the beach. Our kids (8/5/5) had a blast playing in the sand and it was incredible to be able to walk directly from the house to the beach. We saw dolphins almost every day, caught fish right off the shore, and enjoyed long walks and gorgeous sunrises. The proximity to restaurants and stores was very convenient. This was our first time to OBX, and we also liked being centrally located, which made it easy to explore different areas (Roanoke, Cape Point, lighthouses, etc.) The cottage is clean and cozy, with the feel of visiting a family home. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. We didn't initially notice that we had to provide our own sheets and towels, which was a small hassle since we flew in, but wouldn't be an issue if you were driving and had plenty of room to pack. Perhaps most notably, Anita was an AMAZING host. We had a few minor things pop up, and she was so responsive and helpful, even on Thanksgiving! She was also so kind and flexible when our kids got sick and we had to rearrange some plans. We rent VRBOs often, and she was hands down the best host we have experienced. Highly recommend this fabulous property!
Super easy process setting up the trip! Anita was very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. The house was beautiful and very comfortable. Close enough to food and stores but enough off the beaten path to enjoy the serenity of the ocean.
From beginning to end, this has been a pleasant experience. Rapid and thorough responses from the hosts, ease of check-in, and a clean and comfortable place to stay. The house is far enough away from the public beach access ways that you feel like it’s a private beach. The updated kitchen, high dining table and full height windows just add to the experience… and let’s not forget about the hot tub!!! Don’t forget to sign the guestbook (nice touch). The ONLY thing, that I would advise perspective renters about is that you cannot see the beach from the deck as the photo shows. The dunes have been raised for protection. There is so much to do in this area of the Outer Banks that you could easily argue to stay 2 weeks, just make sure to spend enough time relaxing on the beach! Thank you again A&T!!
We really enjoyed the beach being right outside the door, the hot tub, and the well-equipped kitchen. Gated deck made a great place for our 19-month-old granddaughter to play. Beds were comfortable. Great communication with owners whenever I had a question. My only suggestion is to have plug covers and cabinet locks available if needed to help with your smallest visitors.
Very cute house. The kitchen was well equipped with all the items needed to prepare almost any meal. My family would definitely stay here again.
Cute, cozy cottage with stunning views. We didn’t want to leave!!
This was our first trip to the outer banks and using Vrbo, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. We were looking for a reasonably priced property where we could connect and spend time without busy teenagers, and this property was the perfect fit for your family. We have 3 teenagers and it had enough rooms for each to have their own space. The direct access to the beach and the view from the living room and the master bedroom was amazing. The cleanliness was honestly better then expected. I thought for sure there would be some evidence of the previous renters but there was none, which put me at ease immediately. Owners were very responsive and friendly. The only thing I noticed that differed from the listing photos is that the sand dunes have grown rather high since those were taken, so although you can clearly see the ocean, you cannot see the beach from the house. You would need to go to the top of the dunes to see the beach. As for location is was nice and low key. The busier areas of the outer banks were north in Duck and south in Kill Devil hills. We traveled through both on this trip. This property was located close enough to pretty much anywhere you wanted to travel in the outer banks. You would need to drive. Most places are not within a comfortable walkable distance. But that was not a problem for us. We would definitely visit again.
