Beach Therapy At The Outer Banks!

Great view, great beach access, clean, just wonderful

One of our favorite places in over 40 years of visiting OBX

Love this property! We’ve stayed there at Anne Marie’s place many times, and we keep coming back to it. We have tried staying at bigger homes with more family members, but we miss everything about this place. This year there were new couches which are so comfortable! Anne Marie is great to rent for. It’s nice renting from a human over a rental company.

I looked long and hard for a place to meet our needs (one floor, three bedrooms, right on the beach) for my family with two little kids--this vacation was a huge investment for us, so I will admit I have high expectations. Upon arrival, I did immediately notice a chemical-cleaning smell (I will say I am definitely sensitive to these smells). The first bedroom selected by one of my kids had a smell that did give me a sore throat. Some of the outlets were falling out of the wall, and the furniture was older and dusty in places. The carpets definitely needed cleaning in the smaller bedrooms. The refrigerator had a chemical-y cleaning smell. The biggest bummer was that the air conditioning did not do a very good job of cooling my kids' rooms. Even at the lowest AC temperature, my toddler's room was 75 at night, so we had to move him into the master bedroom. The master bed was too soft for me (perhaps fine for others). I was overall disappointed. BUT it was right on the beach, and aside from the temperature issues at night, my kids didn't notice any of these other things. I did not reach out to the owner with my issues or concerns, primarily because I felt nothing could be done in the moment. It's difficult to clean away chemical smells. If you like to cook, definitely check with the owner first to see if the items in the pantry will meet your needs. And bring a can opener! :)
