Parents 40th Anniversary

Both of my parents had nothing but wonderful things to say about their trip - both the island and the rental. I was told that everything was incredibly clean and cozy and exactly as described/pictured. Would absolutely recommend.

My wife and I were looking for a place to stay on short notice. "The Maiden" fit the bill of being in a nice location and not breaking the bank. The place was clean. Furnishings weren't luxurious, but were plenty adequate for this price point. The owner communicated well. Overall, staying at the Maiden was a good experience. We'd stay here again.

Very clean with all the necessary items to make a great place to stay while at the beach. Good location being in Buxton makes it close to every thing on Hatteras Island. Good communication with the owners.

Sun, fun, and calm

The Maiden is an excellent place to stay. Very quiet area. The apartment was just the right size for two adults and a child. Beautiful inside and out. Great parking. Extreamly short walk to the beach. Communication with the host was easy and pleasant. Would recommend to family and friends.
