About this property

Gorgeous 5 BDRM w/Sweeping Ocean Views + Pool - Dog Friendly

Skip the traffic to Duck and enjoy our private oasis in the trees on the ocean side of Hwy 12 in Southern Shores. Only 10 minutes from the Wright Memorial Bridge and two lots back from the beach, Willems Beach Club @ Southern Shores is an ideal vacation destination for those looking to relax in a private "treehouse" like setting. Enjoy ocean views, two levels of wrap around decks overlooking the pool, and plenty of space for the entire family to relax. Go for a bike ride or try surfing, kayaking or paddleboarding - lots of beach toys are included. Our home sits at the end of a cul-de-sac and is surrounded by tree canopy to create privacy from nearby homes while still allowing panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean from the deck. The private beach path is right beside our house, making it an easy 3 minute walk to the beach. All 5 bedrooms are spacious and have sliding glass doors opening out to two levels of wrap-around decks. We allow one well behaved dog over one year old to join you on vacation with our prior approval and pet fee (no exceptions!).

Major renovations inspired by HGTV were completed in May 2017, a new pool was installed in 2018, a new upper deck was built in 2022, and new siding was completed in 2023. You will love our coastal decor and fully stocked kitchen! Renovations include updated flooring throughout, light fixtures, paint, furniture and decor, gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, and a farm sink. We also added a bathroom to create 3 Master Suites w/King beds. Our home also offers 1 Queen bedroom and a Pyramid Bunk (full over twin) bedroom that share a bath, a game room, an outdoor shower, a charcoal grill, a laundry room, flatscreen tvs and free secured wifi. Our guests can also enjoy the Southern Shores Civic Association amenities including tennis/pickleball courts, a marina, playground, and Soundfront park and beach.

Conveniently located 5 minutes from both Kitty Hawk and Duck, you can easily get to all of the OBX towns to enjoy the restaurants, shops, and local attractions such as Wright Memorial, Jockey's Ridge, NC Aquarium, The Lost Colony, H2OBX waterpark, movie theater, outlet shops, etc. There is a paved bike path through Southern Shores and Duck so you can walk or ride bikes from the end of our street into Duck for shopping, dinner or to visit the original Duck Donuts!

Quiet Spring Break

We had a lovely time. The house was great for a small group of women. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach for long walks and the convenience of local shops and restaurants. The house was super clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. Overall a great break from the cold North.

Wow!!

This has been the best place we have stayed at so far in the OBX. The location of this home is perfect, at the end of a very private cul-de-sac. Close to our favorite town of duck, and the amazing restaurants of Kitty Hawk. Super private property, really can’t see any neighbors at all. Our kids loved the pool and walking to the beach every night to hunt for crabs! Will definitely stay again here. The house was nicely decorated. Thanks for having us!

Restful OBX vacation

Comfortable home with great amenities made our first stay in OBX a pleasant one. Enjoyed the proximity to the beach (private path to Ocean Blvd. between 2 different public access points), and being so near to Duck and Kitty Hawk made for easy ventures out to eat or explore. Watching sunrises and sunsets from the deck was really special.

Perfect home

This may have been the best rental I have ever stayed in! Our family loved the home and it had everything we needed. We like to cook and the kitchen was stocked with everything. The pool was a wonderful respite from the heat on the beach. Everything was clean and the rooms were tastefully decorated. Communication with the owner was A++++

Wonderful Place to Stay!

The house was comfortable and updated! The location was perfection. Close enough to conveniences, while still feeling tucked away and close to Duck! The constant breeze, ocean views, and sunsets made this home magical. Oh, and the Myrtle Oaks that surround the house and beach path are beautiful and add privacy. Dreamy. Our son was married at the Kitty Hawk PierHouse, and this was only a couple of miles away! Our grandkids loved the pool! We will definitely be back! Thanks Miranda!

Great visit to OBX!

We had a lovely vacation with family to this property. Weather was great, rooms were adequate for our group size, kitchen was well stocked with gadgets, some spices left over which helped, the pool and hot tub were perfect and adequate beach supplies so you don’t have to rent more stuff. Great location and private beach access was perfect. Lots of deck and table space for accommodating groups. Wasn’t prepared to rent towels (first time having to do that as we haven’t rented on the east coast before!) and at this expense it would have been one less thing for us to worry about, but we figured it out. It would also be nice if there were some youth life jackets available, but we were able to buy some locally. We loved Duck Doughnuts, the donut ice cream shop, the boardwalk in town, and we even snuck out to play Pickleball twice! Highly recommend “chasing crabs” at dusk, the kids loved that. We spent most of our time in and around the home! Miranda was great! Thank you for the memories!

Wonderful stay

We enjoyed staying here very much! Our family stayed here for our family vacation, we had my immediate family of 3 and 1 family of 4 and then our parents(grandparents) there was more than enough room for everyone to have their own space. The pool was great and the hot tub was really nice too! It wasn't a far walk to the beach either which was very nice

We loved everything about this home- it’s proximity to the beach and shopping, the privacy of the backyard and pool, and the house itself- beautifully decorated, spacious kitchen great for preparing family meals, bedrooms with their own private baths, and beautiful decks w/ lovely views to enjoy with the nighttime breeze. Our family loved every minute!

Wonderful stay in Southern Shores!

This was our family's first trip to the Outer Banks all together. We found this house a year ago and couldn't wait to go. Check in was super easy. Kitchen fully stocked. Suggestion-bring some drink ice to get you started and then just fill the trays. We needed a cocktail!! Seating was great-so many places to eat inside and out. So much space for everyone to relax. Hammock was perfect for relaxing. Wifi worked great. Pool was perfect. Trees made it so private. SOOOOOO many pool toys! All the beach toys, bikes, boards, etc you would ever need. The wagon was a huge help. Kids LOVED the game room and they could play without anyone else hearing the noise. Location was perfect. 3 miles south of Duck (covered bike paths great for biking, walking and running) and maybe a mile (not even) north of the 158/12 split off. Such a great location for getting to all parts of the Banks. Miranda was a super host. Very helpful and responsive. We loved it so much, we are going back next year!

Great OBX house!

This is a great property for a family vacation. The house is located on a quiet, secluded street just a few minutes easy walk to the beach. We had bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone, and the pool is a welcome respite from the beach at times. We highly recommend it.

Very comfortable home

This was our families first time renting this home. We had plenty of room to spread out. Enough bedrooms and baths for the 7 of us to stay. Lots of outdoor deck areas to enjoy. Loved having the hot tub and pool for the times the weather wasn’t great to go to the beach. Very convenient short walk to the beach. The Kitchen had all the supplies you would need if you decide to cook. We had a very nice time, and we would consider staying again in the future.

Beautiful

The house was beautiful, exceeded all expectations! Loved sitting on the upper deck in the morning sun. Walk to the beach was easy! Will definitely return! One call out for others - the house has a lot of stairs so may not be the best for those with mobility issues. And watch out if you bring your dog, our little guys kept stepping on little burs/prickers that were all over the pathways. And they are sharp! But we loved the house and the location!

Slice of heaven in OBX

This was one of our most favorite OBX rentals ever. The house was just beautiful -- very well appointed, comfortable in every way. Beds, furniture, layout, seating options... all added to a very enjoyable vacation. Lots of items in the kitchen, which is great for us since we do a lot of our own cooking one vacation. (However, we did enjoy a few dinners in Duck and caught some incredible sunsets while dining!) Super convenient and easy walk to the beach, and we enjoyed the pool and hot tub afterward. We've bookmarked this house and would love to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Miranda Willems

Host profile image
We both grew up vacationing in OBX with our families and always loved the area. After vacationing there together several times, we got engaged on the beach in Rodanthe in front of our family and friends. A year later, we purchased Willems Beach Club @ Avon and have rented it on VRBO for three years with many great reviews. We wanted a larger home a little closer to the mainland that could accommodate our large family, so we purchased Willems Beach Club @ Southern Shores in December, 2016. After watching many HGTV shows for inspiration and five months of renovation, we are thrilled with the results and hope our guests enjoy our modern "coastal cool" themed home!

What makes this property unique

We loved the privacy of our home and the great ocean views. We're at the end of a cul-de-sac and the lot next door is owned by the Civic Association and will remain undeveloped. Just 3 lots to the beach, its an easy walk down the private beach path that is shared by just five homes.
