The Views, MY GOODNESS!

Extraordinary house. We all loved how spacious and comfortable this place was. Every single room had a water view! What a treat. The host was so very helpful and super responsive with communicating. It was immaculate and DEFINITELY met our needs for gathering and relaxing. We will come back in the summer! You can launch kayaks, kites, etc., into the water right from the backyard! It has great outdoor space. We really had quality family time. The set up of the indoor open space was absolutely perfect for us! The house was as advertised and beautiful. I am saying our best vacation ever, can't wait to return. Fantastic memories made. Thank you for opening up your home!

House was exactly as pictured. Lots of room. The kitchen is supplied with everything you need. The spacious back porch is where a lot of time was spent watching the kite boarders as well as the sunsets. The area is amazing. Would definitely come here again.

Just what we were looking for- lots of outdoor fun in a safe environment. Probably the best access to the sound we’ve had in the 30 years we’ve been coming to OBX.

We had a great stay. Only two things could be improved. 1) Bed mattresses could be better. 2) Since we love cooking, kitchen equipment could be updated and improved. Great stay!

Wonderful Experience!!

Our family truly enjoyed staying here, everything was clean and fresh, the kitchen cookware was top notch, the house had essentially everything we could have needed and the owner was very quick to respond and send out a technician on the weekend to assist us with the HVAC! This was truly a five-star experience that we hope to repeat in the future!!

Relaxing

It was very relaxing to sit on the back deck to watch the sunrise and the sunset over the sound. I do wish the description of the private beach area was a little clearer as its not really a private beach as its big rocks and boulders lining the water. Overall, it was a nice stay.

Great sunsets

Pleanty of room and space for kids to roam and play. Great sunsets and moonrises. Fishing in the sound is not bad either. Somewhat secluded too (even though you're in town). We were there Sept in the offseason, but pizza was right down the street for a cheaper meal, or Neptunes for a little more exotic dish w/ cocktails. Property manager was quick to address issues and questions. We had a great time.

Beautiful Place, super views(s), sunsets,. Large Balcony. The house can sleep 8-10 people easily however misses chair(only 6) for the dinning area, can be managed with outside chairs at the limit. The CHARCOAL BBQ is at the limit(but mangeable) if more than 6 people. OVERALL EXPERIENCE SUPER, For ALL the guests during our time there !

great views, great stay

The house was clean and the views out to the sound were spectacular. The huge windows and n the sound side made you feel like you are one with the outdoors, even when you are indoors. Host was very responsive and helpful. Beds were very comfortable. The tv viewing area is a nice set up for the whole group to enjoy. Perhaps our favorite was watching all the kite boarders who rent from two locations very near by. S much fun to watch. We have long been oceanfront fans, but the sound really won us over with this house.

Run down home

The first night the heat was stuck on from being broken. They said they would refund the first night but never did. All the windows are screwed shut with deck screws which presents a safety hazard for an emergency. The deck boards are in bad shape.

Excellent location, about 25 min from grocery store

Open communications and quick responses to my questions. We were a family of 5 adults so roomy and plenty of privacy. We enjoyed grilling out, sitting on deck, and sunsets. Men enjoyed kite surfing in the sound and they were happy to walk out kites - can walk out in waist deep water for about 1/4 mile. Outdoor shower was great in removing wet suits and rinsing/drying off before entering the house. Kitchen well equipped as we ate all meals there as many places were closed for the season. Plenty of parking for our 2 vehicles. House was as pictured.

The house is very old. The bathrooms were old and we had to call the owner to fix the shower doors. The air conditioning sucked the dinning area was very cold and our bedrooms were very warm. The kitchen supplies were in short supply.

What a wonderful week!

We had a wonderful time at this property. It's so pretty, you don't want to ever leave to go out sightseeing. We stayed on the back porch for 3 days looking at the kite surfers and the gorgeous sunsets. It's in a perfect location and we ventured to Corolla to see the wild horses one day and then went to Ocracoke the next day via ferry. We made wonderful memories and after staying on the "sound" side I don't know if we will ever go back to the ocean side. It's just so peaceful and relaxing. We did have a small issue on the day we checked in with the internet not working but the owner stayed in constant contact with us until it was operational again. He even checked in on us midweek telling us about the riptides. Very nice!

May 2021

We loved how the property was right on the sound with great views of the water and wind surfers. The deck was fabulous to sit on to watch the sunsets. This was our first time not on the beachside and we really enjoyed it though I’m sure in the middle of the summer it gets very hot facing west. We liked that we didn’t have to deal with elevators or many stairs to unload and load up the car. We found the owners very prompt in response to our questions and extremely helpful as they reached out to us to make sure we had enough gas to get home since the gas shortage occurred the week that we were there. Our only complaint was that we found the beds and living room sofas a bit uncomfortable and in need of replacing ( one sofa out of the three in the living area looked to be new).

The Perfect Getaway on the Outer Banks

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was immaculate and in a beautiful location. The views are incredible over the water and beach access is convenient and nearby. The sunsets were absolutely gorgeous! The deck was the perfect place for morning coffee, relaxing, reading a good book, and for the many beautiful, family photos taken at sunset. I highly recommend a stay here! This is a beautiful home right on the sound! It’s clean and spacious with great views, a short walk to the beach, great place for kiteboarders and kayakers, (launch from the back yard). The kiteboarders were in full force each day and fun to watch. It was the perfect place just to relax and enjoy the views! Plenty of restaurants and stores to shop within walking distance. You will not be disappointed! This home is beautiful just as advertised! The entire rear of the home has the most spectacular water views from every room. The great room is an excellent place to gather with family and friends, and has plenty of space to enjoy and be comfortable. The kitchen has all the amenities needed to prepare meals for our large family. There was also an outside grill in the back yard. We loved the home and will be going back next year. Stavros is an amazing host! He helped us with local recommendations and made sure we had a great time. Will definitely return!

Great Stay In Roadanthe!

This is a fantastic beach rental. If you enjoy kite boarding, this is the place to be. I'm not a kite boarder but I thoroughly enjoyed the sound, it's shallow, it has a soft sand bottom, and it's warm. You're able to walk a mile out with water up to your waist! The house has a nice kayak launch but it is slippery. I and my son slipped and incurred some good cuts on our legs. Enter the water with caution via the rocks and you'll be just fine. The home is very comfortable and the master bath is a awesome! I think you could park a truck in the shower :) The house felt very comfortable but the bedrooms could have been much cooler. However, I did spend the hottest week of the summer there. There is also plenty of parking which was nice as we had 3 cars and a trailer. The charcoal grill worked great and there is plenty of seating and space on the deck. I think a few things could help improve the guest experience such as some books to read, cooking spray, a Keurig style coffee maker, and a telescope would be great. All in all, we had a wonderful time. This is an excellent place to stay and I would highly recommend it for your family...it's also kid safe!

Welcome to Paradise

This home is nestled somewhere between Rodanthe and Waves and has some of the best views and real water access to Pamlico Sound, as advertised. The house was spacious enough for myself and 6 "kids" aged 16-21. We brought SUP and kayak and a giant float that we anchored quite easy. Active! We stayed during the beginning of the island's offseason so some places were closed. However, there was plenty of everything you need at Waves Market or North Beach Groceries. Everyone is chill and relaxed. No one is in a hurry on island time. When Austin's Seafood opened mid-week we finally had the perfect seafood boil right at home. I brought everything, except the seafood, from home, but Austin's will sell you the complete package with potatoes and corn and spices if you need them. Donuts and Pizza from the Dough Shack was really close and equally delicious. Good winds restaurant was close and good, but I really can't wait to get back to the friendly staff and spicy tuna bites at Neptune's, which we discovered on our last night. The location is perfect for exploring other parts of the island. We went to the beach in Rodanthe almost daily. We made the short drive to Pea Island to explore the wildlife preserve and found a secluded gem of a beach hidden by a dune near the bridge to Rodanthe. The daytrip to Nags Head was somewhat disappointing since the riptides kept us from swimming but we did some shopping and ate at Bros., which is really good. It was great! We will return! South 12!
