Great house, location and owner

We had a wonderful week! Sara was really responsive to a couple issues due to previous guests. The house had everything we needed and more, but best part was literally right over dune and at the beach!! We will be back😍

An amazing experience

working with Sara was nothing short of splendid. we had great communication and her accommodating nature made our interactions smooth and effortless. The prime location of her property, a stone's throw away from the beach and conveniently close to essential amenities like supermarkets and restaurants, enriched our stay and added an element of convenience to it. We will definitely contemplate staying there again!

Great House

We stayed with two families of six including several teenagers. We loved the big open third floor room, full size dining table, and many big bedrooms with their own bathrooms. It was very comfortable for twelve of us. It was perfectly clean, which is rare. The internet worked great for all our phones, laptops, TVs, and game systems. The house has a very comfortable feeling. Hot tub was great on cold evenings. Proximity to the beach was great. It was well stocked with kitchen supplies, games, bikes, beach chairs, etc. It’s high on our list to stay again.

Exceptional Experience!

What a wonderful beach home! I have stayed at many VRBOs and rentals in many different places, and I must say that Sara (the owner) went above and beyond to make sure our visit was everything we needed it to be. My type A personality was thoroughly impressed by the spotless, organized, well-stocked, tastefully decorated and finished house. Gorgeous views of the ocean, sparkling hot tub, and only a few steps to the beach (which was so important with little kids); several streaming TVs, bikes, games, and every kitchen convenience you could dream of. We encountered unexpected issues with weather (snow on the beach!), and Sara always responded immediately to all of our needs with grace and flexibility. It is quite evident that this beach home is very well cared for and that the owners have high standards of care and customer service. Absolutely lovely time; would go back today if we could!

Spacious property and excellent location!

The house exceeded our expectations in many ways!!! Super clean, the proximity to the beach, extremely spacious, lots of extras (beach chairs, laundry, bath towels, garbage bags…ect) . The beds were all very comfortable, and the air conditioning kept all of the floors cool. We had 10 adults, and we all fit perfectly! We like to place games and all eat together, the huge dining room table was perfect!!!!!The hot tub and hammock were fantastic, and the decks were awesome! For you cooks… the kitchen had more gadgets, glasses, large bowls, blenders, pots and pans ( large and small) than mine at home;) with lots and lots of counter top space. We would highly recommend this property!!!!

Wonderful beach house steps from the ocean!

We rented this house for the wedding party of my daughter who got married on the beach. The house was excellent. Everything was very clean, abundant bedrooms, and space to be together or have private time. Decks were great place to relax and hot tub was added benefit.

Great house for a family beach vacation

This was our second year at Take 5. Our entire family could find room to sit and relax in the 3rd floor living space, and the owners have replaced some of the furniture with more comfortable options. The kitchen has everything you could need, and there is a picnic table on the deck. Access to the beach is easy as can be, which is important when you have small children in the family. We are well pleased with Take 5!

Spacious house w/ beach access that can’t be beat!

Sara was a wonderful host! So helpful and quickly responded to any questions or concerns. We unfortunately arrived to a cold front in May, but the house had plenty of space, games, and a hot tub to make the most of it. Also the tennis court one block away was a plus for outdoor activities when the beach wasn’t nice! But the Sun came out for the last couple days and the beach and water were perfection. Beach access is steps from the driveway. Dunes blocked some of the ocean views, but they also provided much needed protection from the wind and sea levels during the stormy days! Hands down a wonderful vacation spot.

Friends Reunion Getaway

The rental process was simple, clear, no stress. The descriptions and photos of this property were exactly what we found upon arrival! The 5 of us had a ball, could spread out throughout this huge house when desired, enjoyed the short trek to the beach several times a day, ate and shopped in town, but often just lazed around the house enjoying the view and sounds of the beach. It was a heavenly break from our busy lives and we couldn't thank Sara, our host, enough for her attentive care!

Perfect location, wonderful house!

The house is exactly what we expected. Very clean and well maintained. Plenty of space to sprawl out, view of the ocean and listening to the waves while having our morning coffee was great. Location is perfect, the beach is just a few steps via the boardwalk path. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen has plenty of supplies for whatever you need for cooking. Hot tub was a must! Weather was good during the day but chilly at night, was nice to hang out and relax. Owner was GREAT to work with! Communication was top notch, provided great recommendations and answered all emails in a very timely manner. I would recommend this property to my friends and family.

Loved our stay!

Take 5 was the best stocked house we have ever stayed in! The kitchen (with well labeled cabinets and shelves) had everything we needed and then some. Not to mention the extra cleaning supplies, a nice touch in the times of COVID with multiple people staying at the house. It was clean, well decorated, spacious and comfortable. The location to the beach was ideal, we loved being so close without feeling on top of anyone. The hot tub was also one of the cleanest we've seen! It was a big hit with our group. Our host was super helpful, very fast with communicating check in information, weather alerts and answering our questions. Thank you so much for housing our vacation!

Beautiful Beach Vacation

Take 5 was exactly like its description. The house was large, roomy and very clean. It was stocked with everything we needed from kitchen supplies to games! The location was perfect! We were able to walk back and forth from the beach all day and did not have to deal with loading up the car and driving to the beach, which was a big plus!! Sara was wonderful to work with. She was full of so much information and gave us great recommendations on things to do and places to eat! She also answered all of my many questions very quickly.

About the host

Hosted by Sara M

Host profile image
We love OBX and it's been a dream to own here forever. We're excited for this chapter of our lives and to share our home with you.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Take 5 immediately. It just feels like home. The comfortable spaces and beautiful views, the ocean breeze on the decks and the nice small community of Ocean Sands D. The convenience to Harris Teeter is great too!

What makes this property unique

This isn't your cookie cutter home, the kitchen is stocked with everything you would need, the beds are comfy and the walk to beach is 2 minutes. Ocean access boardwalk is directly across the street. We have a local cleaning service that only services a few houses and the owner lives in section D and checks the house after every cleaning - it's the same mother/daughter team that cleans for us every week. They know the house inside and out and take great pride in their work. We are so lucky to have found them!
