Super cute

We loved this cute canal front home. It was super clean and we absolutely loved the sun room! It looked like many renovations had been made and the open concept was perfect. We hope to return soon.

Great stay

Our family of 4 plus the grandparents enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us and the house was very clean. We enjoyed the view with our morning coffee inside and outside. We would definitely stay here again.

Caring Owner

My family stayed here in August. This house is in a great location! It was in the middle of all the activities that we wanted to do and allowed decent drives to Corolla, Manteo, and Hatteras. The house was very spacious and allowed enough room for 4 adults without being cramped. It was a short drive to public beach access too. The quiet and peaceful canal was a nice back drop with the outdoor living space and would have been great for paddle boarding or kayaking. The house is even better than the description and clean. We had a small issue upon check in involving the lock, however the owner was waiting at the house for us and was already in the works of problem solving. He came up with a selfless temporary fix for the week, which allow us to the ability to come and go as we pleased, while providing safety and security. We never were contacted by the property management team (Vacasa) to give us a heads up on the issue with the lock, but dealing directly with owner we had no issues. We would definitely consider returning to this house in the future.

Money > Safety

Unfortunately, we were traveling during Hurricane Debby and were not able to access this property. The area was under a state of emergency with flooding and road closures. We asked about a credit to be able to travel when it was safe for our family or even a refund on the cleaning fee since we never stepped foot on the property. Vacasa who manages the property stated that “unless there is a mandatory evacuation, we will not help.” They even sent us tips for what to do during a tornado or other effects from the storm. Sadly, we cannot remark about the property due to not be able to travel to it.

Beautiful house and location

This property was beautifully kept and perfect room for our family. Having towels and linens provided along with the starter kit of toilet paper/paper towels/dishwasher and washing machine pods was great. The dock was perfect for fishing and our SUPs. Location was across a busy road to the beach, but easy 5 minute walk to public access, or you could drive to public access and park. Close to Jockey’s Ridge State Park and minutes from good seafood and restaurants. Short 10 minute drive to Bodie Island lighthouse. Overall, great place for family of small group.

Great location, and beautiful house

The pictures is exactly how the house was displayed. Beautiful decor and everything you would need for an extended stay. Complimentary items were left like toilet paper, paper towels, washing pods, dishwasher pods, soap/shampoo and dish soap which is a great help when you're traveling. We did a lot of sight seeing during our stay but enjoyed the location of the house.

Such a charming house!

We loved everything about our stay at this charming property! The property was just as pictured and the views were even better! The property was immaculate and had everything we needed. The only thing we needed that wasn't provided was an iron and ironing board. We would definitely stay here again and again!

Magical!

Just.. dreamy....you can imagine you are in your own little slide of paradise. The home feels luxurious, cozy, clean, and beautifully designed. The only thing that was misleading, the ads show the TVs with netflix, hulu, Disney and various other streaming services, but they don't actually have them available. You must bring your own accounts, which we don't have, so a cold December weekend we planned to curl up and watch TV didn't really work out that way. Doesn't matter, our trip got cut short for family emergency, so we are trying to find a time to come back asap we loved it so much.
