About this property

Southern Shores/ OBX - Spectacular Oceanfront Setting- Primo Views-Pool /HotTub

Looking to get away from the daily grind and out of the hustle and bustle for a little while? Don’t want to sacrifice privacy while doing so? There are a lot of nice waterfront houses on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. However, whether it’s watching scores of dolphins make their way north from inside your huge great room (or from one of the waterfront decks), taking in the sound of the Atlantic, or swimming, fishing, and/or lounging on our wide, uncrowded beach, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a location offering a better combination of views and privacy. We encourage you to watch the attached drone-produced video to see for yourself!

Being conveniently located near shopping and restaurants when you want to venture out is yet another great feature! This home is in peaceful Southern Shores, 1 mile North of the causeway and one mile South of Duck. The perfect location for a family vacation, Southern Shores has marinas, hiking/bike trails, tennis courts, and several nearby golf courses.

**** Be sure to inquire regarding potential promotional pricing for qualifying stays

CANCELLATIONS - Important: Please review the cancellation policy in the attached short-term rental agreement.

As such, if, for any reason, a Guest cancels this Agreement more than one hundred-twenty (120) days from the Arrival Date, Guest will receive a refund of amounts paid, less a $500 processing fee. If the cancellation is requested 120 days or less from arrival date, all monies are forfeited unless Owner is able to re-rent the Property under the same (or better) terms and conditions of this Agreement, for the full Term reserved. If the Property is re-rented under the same (or better) terms and conditions than this Agreement, Owner will refund amounts paid, less a $500.00 processing fee.

Best Family Vacation

This was our 4th annual multi generational vacation. It was voted the BEST yet. Beautiful home, lovely setting. House was clean and the hosts were great to work with. No problems whatsoever. Even the weather cooperated.

Amazing experience, amazing views, amazing location

We had a great stay at Oceans 86...so much so we booked again for next year before we even left! Fully-stocked kitchen. Highly recommended for anyone coming from the north (VA, DC, MD, PA, NY, NJ, OH, etc) as this Southern Shores location saves you bunches of travel time due to how close it is to the bridge to the OBX.

Perfect Location

The house is gorgeous. Our family stayed here for a week and everyone had a great time. Our boys especially loved the hot tub and the pool. Evening walks on the beach and watching the sun rise from the balcony were magical. Great communication with the owner/ manager too. But note - bed sheets are not included which I have never experienced in renting properties for 15+ years. Not a problem to take your own but be warned - it's in the fine print of the contract.

Beautiful home on the Southern Shores

This is a beautiful and spacious home with easy access, great parking and nice layout. We had a multi-family vacation with plenty of room to gather, eat, relax, and sleep. There's very well appointed kitchen with new appliances, the hot tub and pool were delightful, and the ocean access is perfect. Thanks for a memorable week!

Beach Vacation

We loved it! The house was beautiful and comfortable with plenty of room for all of us. There was a gorgrous ocean view! And we were just steps away from the ocean! We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was an amazing week!

Ocean 86 Southern Shores

The home was beautiful, the view was beautiful it was comfortable for our party of 10. It had a few nics and scratches. Everything worked except the elevator . It was different in that we had to bring our own sheets and towels. Ok, they didn’t let us know there would be no paper goods or soap. Communication was not so good, housekeeper was supposed to let us know when house ready, didn’t happen. Also kitchen towels and wash cloth were left dirty in washer. Would we return of course.

Nice property. On a busy road so it’s hard to get out of driveway at times. Would not recommend Carolina shores. Requires in person check where all other properties I’ve stayed at just send you a code.

Disappointed

First the refrigerator water/ice wasn;t working and there was a large noisy temporary air conditioner that took up a lot of space in the dining room. They fixed thee water but not the ice maker and there weren't any ice trays so we kept running out for bags of ice. On day 3 they gave us ice trays but never got the ice maker working. Their maintenance staff was off site for 2 days so they said they couldn't call the home owner until the staff returned. Never got it fixed. Then we discovered that the washing machine wasn't working, again requiring homeowner contact and again never repaired. The whirlpool in the master bath was inoperable as well. A door was missing from one of the kitchen cabinets. Not the beautiful home represented in the pictures or the price!

Could be great house!

Location is great. Close to everything and beach. House needs some attention or reduce the rental price. Bathrooms all need updating. Stove looked like from the 50’s and you couldn’t read the controls. NO GAS GRILL OR LINENS!!!! Toilet in half bath didn’t flush until fixed Thursday of our stay. Furniture in living room needed cleaning. It was offered to be cleaned but we had twin infants in that area and didn’t want chemicals and damp furniture. Ants in kitchen and baths.Had to go buy traps. Things should have been taken care of before our stay not during it. Dining room chair had leg ripped off and sat in corner the whole week. Seems like the house gets a lot of party people in it that don’t respect things. Maybe renting through rental co would help. I know maintenance things would be done quicker. Not a chair or float or roll of toilet paper,no extras here. Could be great place but as is overpriced.

Large family-friendly house

An amazing location right on the beach with beautiful views from most bedrooms and from the wonderfully large family living room. The kitchen has tons of storage space and is generously equipped with all the appliances you would need for a large group including 2 ovens, 2 microwaves, and 2 refrigerators (one is in the game room). We were able to celebrate a wonderful family Thanksgiving there with many cooks working together comfortably in the spacious kitchen. The game room was loads of fun too when outside temperatures were too cool for the beach. Our family group was 18 people ages 1-75 which left two without beds since there is no hideabed or futon in the master suite as listed. Fortunately we discovered this before arrival and were able to bring two cot mattresses for the floor. Beds sleep a max of 15.

Great stay in Southern Shores.

Great ocean view and a really nice house. Pool a little undersized but adequate. Beautiful interior with game room. Short walk to the beach thru private access. Large front yard with short driving distance (1.5 miles) to grocery plaza. Landlord was very cooperative. Pool service showed-up at 5:20 am and scared us but the service needed to be done and he was trying to beat the heat…..

Beachside on a budget

The location of this house can’t be beat. Everything else… well it’s ok. The check in process was unclear. No real directions. After we got in, the house was clean and well organized. There was a fun game room (converted garage). The rooms were large and many with just amazing views. There were many items that needed repair including the kitchen sink faucet that didn’t shut off, sliders that took a CrossFit athlete to shut, a collection of dead charcoal grills, and an alarm system that beeped twice daily Until you put a code in it. It was vacation so no worries. Again, a good deal and wonderful views.
