Ocean front cottage close to everything but far away from the hustle and bustle

"This is the third time we have stayed here so we definitely like it. Our boys enjoyed the ping pong table downstairs a lot. It is great to be so close to the ocean. We appreciated the updated bathroom and refinished hardwood floors."

Oceanview Getaway! Same Song Twice Condo 102 Enjoy Sunshine & Ocean Breezes

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment we booked, Mike & Lisa reached out to us; and kept in communications. They were flexible, friendly, and really care about their property and making our stay the best possible. The balcony has a great ocean view and is a great place for having your morning coffee. The place was clean and tidy- even the bathrooms! We will be back! Our first trip to OBX was fantastic! I highly recommend."

OBX Life I. Wake to Ocean front Sunrises, Walk to the Pier, Private Pool

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I had the best time for our first trip to the Outer Banks. The weather was not in our side but we made the best of it. The grands enjoyed the pool and the view was amazing from the back deck. There were plenty of chairs to use on the beach. We didn’t use the hot tub but seemed like a nice addition if wanted to use. The house is older but well maintained. The host was very responsive and check in was a breeze!"

10/10 Excellent

"The place looks exactly like the pictures. It was dog friendly and the perfect size for my husband and I. The couch and bed are both incredibly comfortable. The place is stocked with all the essentials. The dune to the beach was a little steep when we were there. However there is a public beach access one house over and that was more level. Our host was great at communicating and was quick to respond. We had a great time at Pepper’s!"
