The location is great. Tom is a great host. The place is a bit dated and Wi-Fi is very slow. Overall a solid place.
We had such a lovely week here! The location is amazing, the property was just as listed and we felt very much at home here. Communication with Tom was perfect.
The property was accurately described in the listing. Everything was clean and in order. We liked the location a lot. We would definitely stay here again!
We enjoyed the house and the location was just a short walk to the beach. We also enjoyed the sound-side which was great for smaller children and just a short drive away. Tom was easy to contact and work with. We had a great stay.
Property was just as described. Quiet neighborhood convenient to the beach and sound. Communication with landlord was excellent. He answered any questions we might have had before we even thought to ask them. Even called and checked on us during our stay to see if anything was needed. Very pleased with our stay!
I very much enjoyed interacting with the Owner and look forward to future stays if available.
Owner is very easy to deal with. Area is quiet, a lot of owners vs. renters so no loud parties.
Great location, close to Ocean & Sound side. Great spot to relax & unwind!
Quiet neighborhood only 1 minute walk from beach. We had the most wonderful time here. Short drive from most attractions. The oeners was very helpful & great. We will definitely be back next year!!
The property is in a very nice location and very clean. Short walk to beach and plenty of ramp assesses close by for more peaceful beach days. Communication from owner was best I’ve had while using app. It was a Perfect getaway!
This was a very nice place to stay. It is very convenient to the sound and the beach. The house is very comfortable and nicely set up, with everything one needs. It's siting is particularly private, with a nice backyard. Thomas was a very attentive landlord.
Owner was excellent with communicating. We had a very relaxing time. We ended up shooting the gap between the two hurricanes, so our timing was perfect. Perfect location 5 minutes walk to sound and 5 minutes walk to the beach . We watch the sunrise on the ocean side, sunset on the sound side. The house was as described. We had everything we needed for our stay. Neighborhood felt very safe and we had no issues with anyone. Definitely would stay again.?
This was a great house to stay in. Just as described and owner was very nice and helpful. Thank you for providing such a great place for my family and I.
We came down to the outer banks to do some family fishing and playing in the ocean. I'll start by saying the owner of the property was nothing but excellent. Any questions I had were answered before I could ask them! The house was clean and quaint! The neighborhood was very calm and quiet. The community has a right of way access to the beach so you can walk from the house direct to the ocean! ( Maybe a 6 to 7 minute walk with a toddler, cooler and fishing equipment) one huge perk was the owner has an ice maker on the property so we didn't have to buy ice everytime we went fishing! Overall we had an outstanding experience and the price was unbelievably great! We will be renting again when the speckled trout start running inshore! Thanks to the owners for opening up their home and giving us an amazing experience!
Our family had a great time at the cottage. The property is in a great location and communication with the owner was excellent. We had a minor issue with the shower head and the owner had someone come and replace immediately. Would highly recommend!
We had an amazing time!! The home was very spacious and clean, just a few houses from the beach. We had the best time!!
Was very nice
Great cottage, very cozy and comfortable. Unfortunately for us the weather wasn’t as great but we had a few nice days. Definitely would recommend for smaller families and friend-cations. Great atmosphere! The owners stayed in touch often and was absolutely great. 10/10!
Cottage was very unclean and dusty. When we got there I had to sweep the entire house and clean all the bathrooms. Property was overgrown porches were not in good shape. The carpet was very unclean. When we arrived the trash can in the driveway was completely full of pizza boxes and food from previous renters. The wooden walkway to the stairs is very dangerous my kids tripped multiple times on the boards. When I rent a place for vacation I expect it to be clean. All and all the place needs some major TLC and a major update.
The beds weren't very comfortable, but all in all a nice place at a reasonable price.
Loved our week here! We came for a week of kiteboarding and loved the central location of the cottage in Waves. Easy and quick walk to the beach and a beautiful and tranquil neighborhood. We'd definitely stay here again.
This was a nice house and Tom was very helpful through the entire process. This was our 2nd time to the OBX and I chose this house over one on the beach to save on cost. So it was a little bit of a hike from house to beach, especially if you're hauling chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc. Also, it should be noted that there are no bathrooms on the main floor where 2 of the bedrooms are. This was a little inconvenient in the middle of the night for my senior guests, but not a deal breaker. We were also a little surprised to be asked to vacuum the floors prior to checking out. I can't remember if we paid a cleaning fee. Never the less, Waves is a great spot on the OBX as it is not yet over built and over crowded. We were there in mid May and our stay was considered off season just before Memorial weekend, and Nags Head and the ferry to Okracoke was already very busy. We had a great time and it was a good house for the price.
Enjoyed my stay, but the bed in master bedroom is not good for sleeping. I was tired and felt beaten when I awakened in the morning. In addition, the hot tub was unavailable for usage, but all in all, the stay was beautiful. Will stay at this location again.
The house was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our stay. I would absolutely book again. Thanks for everything!
