Great house

My family and I loved this house! Great location, the pool was great. Would book again, also loved that you could also book a partial week stay, so that allowed us to stay for a few extra days

Knot A Care

Great location once the beach area opens up from oil spill. House was big enough for our family of 4. We cooked some meals and there were enough dishes to do so. Dishwasher was full when we got there so had to run it and put away dishes. Pool was not open but pool guy came during our stay to open it for next people checking in. Overall, good place.

Super cozy beach house!

This was the perfect little beach house for a quiet and relaxing week. Very cozy home with a small, but well kept pool to stay cool during those hot summer days. The only thing I would say needs upgraded would be more kitchen supplies for cooking and cleaning and a working grill, other than that, this little beach house was a little gem, my family and two dogs enjoyed our stay immensely....would definitely come back!

Overall a very nice place. Had everything we needed. Could use a good cleaning (ceiling fans, shelves, etc), but nothing that prevented us from enjoying ourselves. .

Wonderful outdoor space

Knot a care was a wonderful Home for our family of five (three adult children). Kitchen living area bedrooms and most especially the outdoor space was perfect for us. We loved the pool and just everything about the backyard. Our pooch enjoyed her stay as well.

Just what we needed!

Needed a good week to recharge and the OBX is aways the place to do it. Knot A Care fulfilled the need for a worry free week of sun, sand and surf fishing.

Perfect stay for small to medium family

Perfect comfortable size for 2 - 6. Well stocked, well appointed home with beautiful coastal decor. Love the backyard paradise with large pool. The firepit is perfect size and great gathering place in the evening. Well stocked with comfortable chairs around all outside areas and deck. This is a definite "return to" as very few homes the size have pools and are this nice.

As advertised and expected. Everything you need for the week. Great location. As mentioned in another review the furniture could be a little more comfortable. Functional spaces, great view, quiet community.

Sweet and Cozy

Overall, we loved our stay at Knot A Care. Location was excellent! Easy drive to the beach and delicious restaurants. Pool was great. The fenced in yard was perfect for us and our dog. We didn’t get to do a fire in the pit, but that would have been great with plenty of seating around. We watched tv only a little bit, but we had access to any app. No issue with connecting to WiFi either. We had access to the washer and dryer so we were able to wash all of our clothes before heading home. We ate out the whole time, but there were plenty of cooking items available if you wanted to cook in. I can’t say enough good things about this place. We would stay again, so I think that says it all.

Our Yearly Tradition

We've been going to the Outer Banks for several years now with our 2 boys, and decided to add Buxton to our list. Real quickly, the town was great for what we needed. Of course it's not going to have everything that the busier northern towns do, but Conners grocery was great, and there are a couple of decent restaurants.As for the house, it's about what you'd expect. It's a little bit older and could use some updating. The bathrooms were clean. The kitchen was adequate. One issue was the microwave. It was above the stove and the hood for the stove. I am over 6 feet tall and putting things in it was tough. I would imagine anyone shorter than me would need a stool. The AC worked great.The pool was in nice shape. With two kids under the age of 10, having a decent pool is a must.The house was about a 5 minute walk to the beach. No worries there.My biggest issue was the beds. The master bedroom was quite possibly the worst mattress I've ever slept on. The other bed wasn't much better. The kids didn't seem to mind the bunk beds.Overall, I'd recommend this place. The house has the typical wear and age issues that most houses in this price range, but nothing that would keep me from coming back. 7.5/10

Cozy time away

This home was just what we needed for our spring break getaway. Very dog friendly! Our pup loved the wrap around deck, the backyard and the loft/bedroom area. We placed her bed near the slider door and she was able to relax and view the outside at the same time, which she loved! Overall the house is quiet and serene. We could hear the ocean waves at night and the view of the Hatteras Lighthouse was a big plus to see once the sun set. The house has everything you'll need-full kitchen, 2 baths, plenty of places to sleep and even items for rainy days (puzzles and books). This would be a great place for multiple couples or a family. The living room area is a little small, but if you're here during the warmer months, I doubt much time will be spent inside anyway. We stayed when it was colder but the backyard and pool would be wonderful in the warmer months. The neighborhood was walkable and was easy to get to a couple food spots and the public beach access. I would stay here again!
