Celebrating Life

We’ve had a difficult few years and the beach is our happy place. We loved the convenience to the beach and it was beautiful every day. First time staying this far up, usually Hatteras. This house was convenient to everything. We found peace and joy.

Vacation Stay

Have no real complaints about the property. Great location, clean, good view of ocean. The couch could be changed to a better cushioned one, and the neighbors house next door was a sore eye even though that is out of your control. All around it was still a great house and would rent again.

Amazing summer vacation

We enjoyed the house very much. Kitchen is SUPER WELL stocked- they have everything you could think of. We enjoyed a short walk to the beach and watching fireworks on the beach on 4th of July was amazing! Shower outside helped a lot of sand control, we just took quick showers there after beach and rinsed our swimsuits as well. Kids appreciated sand toys provided and board games. Thank you!

Cute cottage, close to beach

Nice location, easy walk to the beach via a path from the back of the house and crossing the beach road. Shoes are a must when walking to the beach, as the sand spurs are no joke. We left all shoes at the door so as not to track them inside. Kitchen was really well stocked with anything you would need for cooking. Cleanliness was ok, although dusty. Back porch was partly covered which made a nice area to relax in the evening and on a rainy day.

First OBX vacation

We had a great time. This is a great location with a short walk through the path in the back yard to the ocean. You need to watch the little briars in the yard/path. The living room furniture needs updated. You can’t control your neighbors but the house next door is very run down. We enjoyed our first OBX family vacation and it won’t be our last!

Cute house and close to beach

"The Ideal Place" was a comfortable and clean beach home with good water pressure and room for everyone. It is only about 150 feet from the beach if you take the path that runs from the backyard through the neighbor's yard and is overgrown with pricker bushes and small cactus plants. The prickers stick to everything and hurt like hell! You end up carrying them into the house with you and when you try to take one out of your foot it gets stuck in your finger! OUCH! We had to leave our shoes outside in order to avoid stepping on any in the house barefoot. That was our biggest complaint. Other than that we had a good time. I would recommend to the owner that they try to do something about the prickers and cactus in the yard (which by the way you can not do anything in the yard because of these) and the pathway to the beach. Cleaning up/trimming back the pathway or putting down some pavers would be a good idea.

Kitty Hawk 2021

simple 3 bedroom beach house, basic amenities, all you need. Nice covered porch, close to the beach. Needs a good cleaning between guests and a deep clean at least once a month. Other than that the place was perfect for a small family. Would suggest a small gas grill instead of charcoal grill, time for new bedding and towels. We always bring our own so we were ok. Kitchen had all you need, and a Keurig. Washer and dryer was perfect. Thank you, Carol

Our week at the Ideal Place was great! Everything at the house was as expected and more. The beds were super comfy and the beach was easy to access (although we didn’t see the beach as much as wanted because of rain). There were a lot of other activities nearby including awesome ice cream at Bucks! Wright bros museum was very interesting and the aquarium was a pleasant surprise.
