10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Beautiful home right on the beach & close to pier. The view was AMAZING! Fully stocked kitchen with an additional refrigerator on the ground floor for back up supplies. Floor plan was ideal for large group lounging on the top floor, yet bedroom suites, game room & hot tub allowed for smaller group connection. Perfect escape for our 20 something children, parents, and siblings. First time celebrating Christmas at the beach. We highly recommend booking yours! Would love to return each season.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
Beach view from top floor was great. Ac was plenty cold. Parking was hazardous not enough room to maneuver the vehicles. Elevator was a great asset since some of us were elderly and a lot of help getting luggage and groceries to the kitchen and back down when we were leaving. Having the personal items provided was great. Our stay was great and we would recommend the Wave House highly
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
I would be remiss in not first mentioning how incredibly responsive Brian is from the time of booking to the very last day. The photos are accurate but really doesn't do the house justice. It is right on the beach and we enjoyed just hanging out on the deck on the top floor. There were 6 adults and it was great to have 4 bedrooms with king size beds and let everyone pick what suits them best. We had a few hiccups but none that would make this house less than a 5 star and Brian responded to everything faster than any other host I've dealt with. We didn't have the best weather for the first few days but it really didn't matter. The house is completely stocked and we were very impressed by the kitchen. I don't think there was anything we couldn't find if we needed it. The view is amazing and right on the beach. We were even lucky enough to see some dolphins! I've rented a lot of properties and the guide book to the Wave House that Brian provides is awesome. I downloaded to my home screen on my phone and everything you can think of was right at your fingertips. I would highly recommend this property whether it's with friends or family (yes, kids too), there' a great bunk room downstairs. We played a little competitive pool and listened to music. We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub and just listening to the sound of the ocean. Thank you Brian for being such a great host!

We have been visiting the Outer Banks since the late 80s and this is the best house, location and host we have encountered. The house was spotless and is perfectly appointed and has everything you can even think of to need. The location is perfect, you can almost throw a beer off the deck to your family on the beach. Brian and his team were incredibly helpful and responsive on any little question we had. Overall it was a fabulous week!!
