Great place to stay!

The Hidden Gem was perfect for our family stay in the Outer Banks. We rode bikes or walked into Duck every day, drove to Kill Devil Hills and Corolla for crabbing and walked to the beach. Loved our backyard games of cornhole, burgers and wahoo on the grill and eating on the back patio. Deer strolled through the backyard every morning to say hi. Truly enjoyable week.

Could be a great property.

This could be a cute house….it is desperately in need of updating; there is an old house smell that is likely from the old carpets in the bedrooms. The mattresses are ancient and very uncomfortable, and the headboards on two of the beds we used were very old, outdated and noisy. They were also propped up on PVC pipe. Not to mention the very old, extremely wobbly end tables in the queen master bedroom. The space is good, and distance to the beach, and OBX attractions, is great. However, the ant infestation in the kitchen is a huge problem. We texted the property manager about the ant issue and they sent someone in a timely manner….who just replaced the ineffective ant baits with more ineffective ant baits. What is needed is an exterminator. Frustrating that I spent money on a rental that was not properly maintained in that way. It was also extremely disappointing that the back deck outdoor space was unusable because the outdoor furniture cushions were literally dripping wet from the previous rain. Maybe a deck box to store them in if the deck remains uncovered? There was also sand on the floors when we arrived. (I found a vacuum and broom and cleaned it myself) And the directions for the tv were incorrect. Everything wrong with this property is an easy fix. Overall, we were disappointed in how it was maintained.

Short walk to the beach

Property was as described for a group of 6 adults (3 couples). The 5 bedrooms were more than sufficient, and with 3 bathrooms (plus the outdoor shower), each couple had their own. Kitchen was big with plenty of island space and seating. The house was very clean, and was a 5 minute walk to the beach. We will definitely visit this property again!

Loved the Hidden Gem!

This Hidden Gem is in on a nice quiet road with beach access 2 minutes down the road. We loved the house! It was so clean and just the right amount of space for us with 2 master bedrooms on either side of the house with the living space in the middle. The kitchen was beautiful with quality cookware and dishes. It was stocked with games, puzzles, dvds, and even a dog toy! We would definitely stay there again!

Great week in OBX

It’s not much to look at from the street, but this home truly is a “hidden gem”. Two families of 5 (each with a dog) were very comfortable and the neighborhood was awesome for the kids to travel to and from the beach on their own. We truly enjoyed our stay and property management was very responsive and there for us the whole week.
