10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
Our family of 19 had an amazing stay at this beautiful home in Kill Devil Hills! It was the perfect setting for our family reunion. Everyone had their own bedroom and private bathroom, which made the stay comfortable and enjoyable for all generations.The home was incredibly spacious and never felt crowded, even with our large group. We loved gathering together for meals and spending our evenings playing card games around the large dining table, where everyone could comfortably sit together.The pool and spa were wonderful amenities. While the pool was not heated, the water temperature was perfect and everyone enjoyed spending time swimming and relaxing.Most importantly, this home gave us the opportunity to create lasting family memories that we will cherish for years to come. We highly recommend this property for large family reunions, multi-generational vacations, or any group looking for a spacious, well-appointed home in the Outer Banks. We would gladly stay here again!

Reviewer Comments:
House was perfect for what our group needed, we requested to book again next year, plenty of parking, covered pool for the rainy days, close to the beach, plenty of bedrooms with space, no one was cramped and we had Adults, children, dogs.. the whole zoo.Suggestions:1.)House could use larger trash bins in communal areas, we bought bigger ones. 2.) Have more dishes in the downstairs kitchen area, as there were none, not even cutlery.3.) Washer wasn't working, and service tech came out without notice, as this didn't effect our stay it isn't a negative, but suggest giving a party notice stating laundry was down would have been appreciative.

Reviewer Comments:
We have rented this house many times in the last 10 years. Nice upgrades with furniture inside and outside. It's a very roomy house which is nice because we have a big crowd every year. That being said, the kitchen refrigerator was totally unacceptable...a small side-by-side that doesn't fit that much food (and we bring a lot so that we can save money shopping at home and so we don't have to spend our beach time at the grocery store), and there was only 1 shelf in door which meant that all our small items/condiments had to go in the main section of which there was already little room. Also, the one drawer is broken and every time we pulled it out it was a mess. Very frustrating to not have an appropriate size refrigerator to accommodate so many people. We had to go up and down 2 flights of stairs to get what we needed to prepare meals. We also could not use our devices in our bedrooms or out in the pool area because the WiFi did not work anywhere except in the living area. Also very frustrating, especially for those who work remotely and needed to periodically check in. The house was pretty clean, but there was a glob of hair on my shower wall and the mirror was a mess. We had to call to get the right number of towel packs and bath mats, which the staff provided in a timely manner. The covered pool is great, but none of the lights or moving parts work, plus it really needs a good power wash...the corners are pretty gross...but the furniture is nice. Our mattress in the second floor master next to the kitchen creaked every time we moved and I would suggest ceiling fans in all the rooms. After the poor refrigerator and WiFi for a house that sleeps 25, we decided to look for a different house. When we learned that the cost for this house went up a whopping $7,000 from what we paid this past year, it was a no brainer. We found an oceanfront house for 2023 for much less that checks all the boxes and more....
