EXTRAS: âââââââThe beach access for this Ocean Sands neighborhood is 1550 feet away and for tennis/pickleball fans, there are free community courts available.
We really enjoyed staying at this home. It had everything we needed or wanted for a fun beach trip. Our favorite features were the pool, hot tub, pool table and having access to the tennis courts was an extra bonus. They had tons of board games in the house which came in handy on rainy evenings. The walk to the beach isn't bad either. The location of this house was great because it was close to Food Lion which we shopped at regularly on our trip. We will stay here again!
This property was very nice and clean. The location was great, walking distance to the beach. I would definitely stay there again. Lots to do in the area!
I have wanted to come to the outer banks for years! This year our family was able to all be together! Everyone loved the house and all that the area had to offer! It was close to the beach, stores, food, and recreational activities! We would be thrilled to come back again.!
We have been to the beach several times. This is the first pace we would rent again.
Property was exactly as advertised. It fit the 8 of us perfectly. The pool area was such fun, with our beach carts the walk to the beach wasnât bad. Next time we book in OBX we will rent Octopus Garden.
The home had everything we could possibly need. Very comfortable, plenty of room and the kitchen was fully stocked with all we needed. Having the pool in the back yard was such a great advantage. The grown-ups enjoyed the hot tub and we all had a blast in the pool. Bedrooms were roomy and comfortable and four bathrooms was a big plus. We would definitely go back.
The house was perfect for our annual "Cousins Camp." Pool, Jacuzzi, pool table & board games kept the kids busy ranging from 10-17 years old. It was walking distance to 2 shopping areas, 1.1 mile to Harris Teeter & 1.3 to Food Lion. Within driving distance to Light houses & the Wright Brothers Memorial.
This is a beautiful home, with a large pool. Very nice Hot tub and comfortable sleeping. Small walking distance to beach access. Kitchen is well stocked and pool table and game closet a nice added bonus. This was to be a non pet house, but it was obvious that there was white dog hair on the rugs, so I don't know if there is a way to see if renters are complying with this rule.
