October 2023, The Outer Banks
We liked what we saw on the VRBO site and were very happy when we saw our choice. Dean was quick to reply to our questions and on our arrival gave us a dining recommendation that was great. Location was perfect, we went north one day and south the other days. Everything in the home worked and we had no problems there. We had plenty of room for the 4 of us to have nice, comfortable space. Very close to see the sunrise. We could definitely rent this again.

Loved our mini vacation
The house met all of our needs and it was so hard to leave yesterday. The 2 minute walk to the beach is exactly correct. Also walkable to many restaurants and the all important CVS. What struck me as different from every other beach house is the cleanliness of the outdoor areas (decks, carport, outside shower, outside storage closet). There was not a single cobweb or spider web to be found. Complete comfort using the outdoor areas. I will definitely stay here again.

Perfect get away!
They house was perfect, clean, functioning and goodness it’s just like the pictures! It was a short walk to the beach and surrounding areas in walking distance. The property owner was so nice and even gave a few websites to enhance our stay with rentals and activities. I would definitely recommend and be back! Thank you so much!

About the host

Hosted by Dean Thompson

Host profile image
We live in Richmond, VA., but we've always enjoyed spending time each summer vacationing in the Outer Banks. In 2008, we finally decided to buy our own property as a second home that we could not only use but share with others as well. We've been making improvements to the cottage each year ever since 2008. We go out of our way to keep the cottage neat and clean so our tenants can have an enjoyable, relaxing vacation.

Why they chose this property

We loved the location re: The beach, restaurants and the local drug & grocery stores. The cottage was structurally sound and it's size made it easier for us to upgrade/renovate ourselves.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is right in the heart of the Outer Banks and within 2 minutes of the beach. When it comes to convenience, comfort, cleanliness and affordability.....we found this cottage to be a great place to stay. All we had to do was add our personal touch.
