Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house, excellent condition. If you have a 4x4 and want to be “away from it all” it’s perfect! If you don’t, you need to rent closer to town. I made the mistake thinking my all wheel drive SUV would work......we made it but it was a stressful 8 miles to/from the paved roadways. The property manager was second to none,,especially when helping me learn how to drive on the beach. Again highly recommend if you want to be away from restaurants and things to do. PS the wild horses fulfilled a bucket list item. It was AWESOME to see so many!!

First time Outer Banks

Kaptain’s Treasurer is a beautiful vacation home. Our family appreciated how well thought out the property is for vacation hopes and needs. The 4x4 access only property was a new experience and for first time OBX vacation, this was a full committed experience. The daily observation of the horses was a breathtaking sight. Wonderful family time.

Relaxing beach trip with 3 generations

Would definitely rent again, house well maintained and clean, wild horses visited are location daily. Beach easily accessible by walking or driving, even though we had to drive 8 miles of 4x4 beach driving it was not an issue and never a dull ride, all 3 husbands enjoyed the drive and rest of family enjoyed the ocean view. Trips into town were positive many places to eat or just grab and ice cream. Grocery stores all easily accessible.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice, large home. plenty of room for 2 families. Good sized pool, well stocked kitchen. Only drawback was bath towels were not provided. They were available for $150, but that seems like something that should be included.

A great time!

We had a great time! Properly was in perfect proximity to the beach and after we learned the ropes of the 4x4 beach driving, we loved it. We had considered driving AWD vehicles and were relieved we decided to rent 4x4. For anyone flying into Norwalk we rented a Jeep Wrangler from Marquis off TURO and would 100% recommend. I’ll try to link it. Thanks again! Check out this car on Turo!

I was looking to do something different and I got it.

The house was a good location.As on prior places we have stayed it is going to be a lil tuff on the elderly ones as far as steps.We are used to that.Coming in on peak high tide was a complete eye opener for the first time , driving 8 miles on the beach.Next day I was good to go.House was cool, Horses were cool and the weather was nice.You will need to make very good preparations unless you want to travel back to town everyday.Plenty of sunscreen and bug spray and you might have to remove a pile of horse$&@@“:.Just saying.Would go back🤘

Beautiful!!! Relaxing!!!!Me and my family loved this place.We saw wild horses about every day.The beach was just minutes away, easy for the kids to go to the beach. This house has plenty of room for a family, and they just loved the pool table.We relaxed in the spa and the kids swim in the pool.Laura, the property manager is absolutely wonderful.She is quick to respond and if something is wrong or breaks, she gets replacement or it gets fixed quick.It is recommended that you do have a four-wheel-drive. There is a reason for that..The 8 mile ride up the beach in the loose sand can be tricky without a four-wheel-drive.Only negative thing that I would say about getting to the property is in Duck,Check-in is usually on Saturday and there’s lots of properties so there’s lots of people trying to get to their condos and houses so just be prepared for that.But I would have to say this was our best family vacationWe loved Outer Banks..
Wild horses right out in front of our house.

Great family trip

This vacation house was everything we were looking for this year. We had easy access to the beach a nice pool to relax in and a hot tub for the evenings. The 3rd floor was a great gathering spot for everyone and fit us all when it was time to eat. We realized a few days into the trip that the drying wasn’t drying the towels/clothes very fast and within 2 days the super nice pool/handy man came with a brand new dryer. Laura and David were amazing! We had a wonderful week!
