Gardner's Hut: Classic Oceanfront Cottage Escape

The place was cute and the inside was very clean.The pictures were a little deceiving as the rooms were very very small. I think we were the first ones in the place for the season as the internet was not on and took a couple of days to have them turn it on, and the dishwasher was broken. We could not open any of the windows downstairs, they were either broken or missing screens. The outside was not picked up and looked a mess.It is a nice place but I don't think I will stay there again. A little expensive what it was and with the issues.

The house was amazing. The location is perfect. The beach access and having your own private area was phenomenol. Falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of the waves crashing is . The house has its quirks and 1 bathroom is tricky but doable. The lsiting says theres an outside bathroom but it was locked so we didnt have access. Not a killer but the listing didnt match the amenities. NOTE** if you check in after seaside vacations closes, youre SOL for the night. We got in around 10pm to find there was NO amenitirs package, no sheets, no toilet paper, nothing! With no one to contact adter hours we were stuck sleeping without sheets the first night and had to rush to the store for toiletries, etc. Definitely started the trip off on the wrong foot. Then the dishwasher was broken but no one told us. A mechanic came in without notice and there was a sign left on the dishwasher out of order. Was very unprofessional and a bit sketchy to come home and find someone had been through the house without warning. The management responded and met up with us the next morning. Offered a late checkout as a solution (but not discussed. Only offer). We worked with them and didnt cause a ruckus since the effects are minimal. But still not to the standards expected when spending so much money. Lastly, recommended to take a screenshot of the equip rental money included. When rented we had 35 per night only for it to be completely removed for our stayscreenshot of the rental money pD

It was great to wake up and have the ocean just a few steps away.

Overall this turned out to be exactly what it described in the listing. Great location in a quiet setting.

Our stay was fabulous. The front porch sported our hammocks and gave us a relaxing way to listen to live music from the venues down the way. Back porch rocking was a pleasant serene start of the day with coffee and a great place to hose off after a fun day beach side. My whole family loved the cabin feel indoors and comfortable beds, plenty of space for a family of 8. Kitchen was amply stocked. How spacious the outdoor space was gave a feel of being the only ones on the island. One shower indoors didn’t bother us at all with the added garage full shower down under. Thanks for the stronger beach umbrella and chairs. It was an added touch. Will definitely come back to this house.

The location was perfect - right on the beach and close to everything. The home was cozy and perfect size and layout for a family. It was just my husband and I this time around, but we would be very comfortable there with our four adult children. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your home!

This was a smaller house compared to some of the surrounding properties but it provided everything we needed. The bedrooms were loosely named, the one with the twin beds was more of a loft with 2 beds inside of it, connection 2 other bedrooms. I did appreciate fans in all the rooms though. The second bathroom was a plumbed utility closet, but as 5 guys, we used it as a place to discretely do our business without gassing the rest of the house.

We enjoyed every minute of our time in kitty hawk

Unfortunately the property needs some attention such as a deep spring cleaning, dust caked on ceiling fan, bread (saturated with rain water) on outside deck furniture, deck chairs blown and blocking entrance, unable to open or allow windows to be open due to being broken. Extra vacuum just left in living room. Had hoped for more for the price. Most Disappointing VRBO a rental I’ve had

Exactly as depicted. Great view and comfortable home
