    This was our second stay at this property as we enjoyed it so much the first time. You absolutely can’t beat the location being a two minute walk to the beach. It’s located in a beautiful quiet community and gives you all the rest and relaxation you need. The home is outfitted well for all of your needs and the screened in porch is a personal favorite for coffee in the morning. You can hear the ocean waves. Patty is super responsive and you can tell she put a lot of thought into the rental. Highly recommend!

    This was our first family vacation in 10 years and I will say it was amazing. The house was perfect. Steps away from the beach. When you look at the listing you never know what you are going to get but I will say everything stated was there. We cooked in every night and had plenty of cookware. Kitchen was fully stocked!! We had 2 little ones with us and it was perfect being so close to the beach and the rooms worked out great for us. The table fitted all of us so dinners and family game night was great!!! Highly recommend this house to all!!! We actually had a visitor come to our door who is renting the house next year…he was super nice and also loved the house!!!

    Beautiful stay. We really enjoyed our time. We had 6 adults and 3 children. There was plenty of room for all of us. Everything was really clean. Short walk to the beach made it easy for the kids. No complaints.

    This house was a great vacation spot for our family of 6 adults and 2 young children. The highlights were the large open living space, well equipped kitchen, screened in porch and several other porches. There was plenty of beach equipment. The outdoor shower was large and a great addition. One of the best aspects of the house was location. The neighborhood was lovely and quiet, The house was close to the beach path. Also close to Duck and not too far from most anything you could want. The host were friendly and responsive.

    We are an older couple and this house was perfect for us. The owners have taken care to provide everything that you could want so if very much felt like home. Breakfast and dinner daily on a great screened in porch. a perfectly designed and equiped kitchen and a beautiful comfortable family room surrounded by 360 degree panoramic windows. this is not a modern mcmansion smothered with high tech foam and fabrics ....it is an older style home that the owners have taken great care to make it that you will settle right in and breathe deeply and easily. the neighborhood is perfectly quiet...all you hear are the birds and at times the faint ocean sound...this house is not for everyone but if you want quiet, comfortable, lovely and fully equiped...then this is probably for you
