We love our sweet slice of paradise and can’t wait to share it with you. Step into the house through our open living, dining and kitchen area with gorgeous water views. Enjoy the spacious decks (3!) facing the sound for the perfect morning coffee or sunset cocktail spot! Our top level suite offers a private king bedroom with full private bathroom, private deck with water views and optional bonus space with futon and designated work space. Choose your favorite bedroom on the main level, offering a triple bunk bedroom and a queen bedroom with its own private screened-in porch and a shared hall bath. Our main floor also features a laundry area with washer and dryer for our guests convenience. Head downstairs to the game room with a ping pong table, foosball table, dart board, additional bunk bedroom, Kitchenette, full bath and access to outdoor amenities.
Access the Currituck sound for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing at our soundfront access 1 block across from the house on Waterlily Road. The water stays warm longer than the ocean and is usually shallow for the kids to have a fun filled day on the water. Use our Kayaks and life jackets, or bring your own water toys! (we have 1 adult and 1 child kayak for your use) The house is within a few miles of 2 boat launches, including the public Coinjock Boating Access Area on Waterlilly Rd. There are great fishing and crabbing spots all over the island and duck hunting is the main attraction during hunting season. The marsh makes for beautiful views from the back of the house (but is not swimmable water.)

This is a beautiful home in a beautiful setting. We had a wonderful time relaxing and hosting our (local) son and his family for good meals and visits. The kayaks, ping pong table, and scooters were much appreciated. The house was perfect in every way and the neighbors were friendly.
Listing and pictures were accurate. While it was a drive to the beaches, the quiet of the area was appreciated at the end of every day. The sunrises along the Sound and sunsets from the backyard were prefect. Would absolutely stay here again.
We were looking for a place for my extended family to gather near the Outer Banks. This place was perfect. Enough room for all of us. The location is perfect - nice secluded neighborhood surrounded by wildlife and nature. But also close enough to get to the beaches. Lovely place that had us contemplating moving there.
This house was a very nice place to get away too if you’re looking for some peace and beautiful sunsets. There were some imperfections but the owner was extremely responsive and caring. Stores and restaurants aren’t super close so it helps to bring food in. The community dock was great for the kids to fish off of and the game room kept them occupied. Would stay there again.
This home was absolutely beautiful, offering spectacular water views from every angle. The community is quiet and friendly and the wildlife was fascinating. The backyard was outstanding and the peaceful sunsets and serene nights were truly unforgettable. The home was well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owners were welcoming, easy to communicate with, and checked in to ensure we had everything we needed. Conveniently located with quick 30-40 minute trips to Virginia or Kitty Hawk for activities, restaurants, shopping and fishing. 10/10 - we didn't want to leave. We’d love to stay here again to enjoy the soundlife!
Everything was great at the house. Good location. Well equipped. Just right for our family but being on a marsh was amazing. There was always something to see. The kids were amazed by the wildlife and the sunsets were spectacular. But as night fell that whole marsh came to life. It was a symphony of frogs, birds and every other night animal. We all loved it❤️
This home worked great for a large family just looking to get away from the hustle of city life. It's only a small drive to NC12 where all of the major shopping and tourist attractions are located. We enjoyed shopping for our groceries at the local produce stands and seafood from Frog Island. Our kids loved crabbing, kayaking and swimming from the community pier. We only got one day at the beach due to red flag warnings so being able to swim in the sound was great! Owner was very responsive to any questions or needs as were the neighbors! Property is located in a very quiet rural area between Norfolk and the major OBX cities. Exactly what we were looking for!

All most Heaven
The location, peacefulness of the marsh was fantastic, away from the hustle of commercialism. The interior of the home was adequate. A few frustrations of missing supplies, but we compromised due to the location. The ability to bring our pets was huge, the neighbors were very nice and inviting. My biggest concern was the condition of the exterior of the home. The listing would have been accurate if you were able to use the listed amenities. The environment of the marsh is not always friendly but the house, decking, and furniture were dirty with assuming some sort of animal (frog) feces, thus pretty much unusable. A shame since the sunsets are amazing! You would think knowing guests were arriving it would have been cleaned. The outdoor grill was very well “seasoned”. Could not use as it had food, grime build up. We spent 10 days there and made the best of what was there but there definitely needs to be some up dates to the home.
The home was everything advertised. Plenty of room for our family. The area was quiet and pleasant. The marina on the road into the house has excellent food. We enjoyed our stay very much. The host was always responsive if we had any questions or concerns. This home is highly recommended if you are seeking a quiet place for a family vacation.
We were happy with the accommodations. The check-in was a breeze. The owner was top notch and went out of their way to make our vacation awesome in my 10 year old’s words.
We will definitely look to this property in the future.
House and property were amazing just as advertised the host was very helpful when needed and the rest of the time invisible just like we wanted wish the property was a little closer to the beaches but everything else was awesome would absolutely love to stay here again in the future thx for everything Michelle
My family and I enjoyed every single moment our family vacation. We enjoyed s’mores, fishing, family fun time together, outdoor activities and just relaxing. Our host was extremely nice, friendly, helpful and honest. We had a problem arise. Our host turned their attention on our situation, listened to our concerns and had a solution in response within minutes. My family and I rate this stay 10 out 10! Best Ever!
I highly recommend this house in Coinjock NC. The host is very responsive and very helpful when renting this property. The house is beautiful and the views are wonderful looking over water to the western sky for gorgeous sunsets. There are multiple decks w/seating on the Western side of the house.
The house is very clean, has nice furnishings and up-to-date appliances. Everyone was impressed with the house and we all enjoyed our stay. It’s a good location to be on/near Currituck Sound and a short distance to the Outer Banks without all the congestion of staying on the Outer Banks.
The property and location was perfect! Michelle was attentive, provided information and responded immediately to all inquiries. The house was spacious and easily accommodated our family. We had such a wonderful time and will definitely book again!
