Very nice property just a short walk from the beach. From the beach, you can easily walk to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, although it was unfortunately under renovation during our stay. The house is spacious, and the outdoor shower was a great feature after spending time at the beach. The host was very helpful, responsive, and easy to communicate.

Linda was super friendly. Check in was easy. Super easy quick walk to the beach. House is small. But we spent most of our time out and about so it was fine. Nice area. We had a LOT of fun. And being so close to the beach was nice, and convenient. I would definitely recommend. One issue came up, but it was addressed quickly and resolved quickly. Linda and her husband we really easy to talk to.

Love the old school Buxton charm. Reminded me of my childhood. Was perfect for our family of 3. Right in the heart of Buxton! Will be back for sure!

The place is so much better than the photos! We loved the cabin feel if the place, and it had everything we needed. It was fun to explore the island, the beaches, museums and restaurants! One thing to be aware of is that the beaches nearest to the house is not good for swimming because of hazards under the water from fallen houses. However, a very short drive in any direction will take you to gorgeous beaches! We loved a beach just 2 miles north.
