The proximity and ease of access to the beach is great. The view of the dunes and ocean was magnificent. Sitting on the outer decks was very relaxing. The house is older and has some quirks with some wear and tear but nothing that hampered and dampened our stay. Any questions or problems were immediately answered or attended to. The stay was great. Thank you.
Greg is an excellent, communicative host who posts an honest, accurate description of a well-equipped, older property. Extras abound: ceiling fans and TVs everywhere, plenty of bathrooms, two private decks w/1 gas grill, a sheltered hot tub, a comfy game room, an outdoor shower foot shower, lots of towels and beach chairs, plenty of dinnerware, a great location very near free tennis/ paddle ball, groceries, and ice cream, and a small bowl of chocolates awaiting your arrival. You can tell this is one of the original Outer Banks properties--not an upscale mansion with bright colors and wall hangings--and his cleaning crew could do better, though some of you won't notice. Free parking easily fits 5 vehicles. The beach walk is a few minutes, with good waves and not a particularly large crowd well north of the Duck bottleneck. In all, Greg provided a fun stay in line with his own description.
My family really enjoyed our stay at the Doghouse, very convenient to everything, but away from all the busyness. Close walk to beach and all amenities you need gor a vomfortable stay
Property had just about everything we needed. Kitchen was well equipped but wish there had been a large stock pot to make a low country boil. Had a great time building memories with my family. House was only four houses from beach which made it very easy to take everything we needed to the beach. Hope to make it back there again!
Older Home in Section F. Loved the 5 Bedrooms and the Jack n Jill bathrooms. Upstairs bedroom with bath very private. Loved the kids room on the top floor.
The location and house were ideal for our weekend! Access to the beach was super close and easy. The sounds of the ocean had us all sleeping like babes. Very clean and comfy. It was chilly out but the rain stayed away until we were leaving. Look forward to hopefully staying again in the future!!
No problems! The owner communicated in a timely manner when I messaged him. Loved how close it was to the beach! Provided beach towels were an added bonus!
This was a very comfortable beach house that fit our family perfectly. It was large enough to fit everyone with enough deck space to enjoy the views and hear the ocean. It was in close proximity to the beach and a Harris Teeter was a short walk or drive away. Just down the road was shopping and restaurants that were very satisfying. I would recommend the âDog Houseâ for your stay.
We had an amazing stay at this location. The house was large enough to accommodate all 10 of us and our dog. We felt right at home. The kitchen was stocked better than any other rental home I have ever been in. The AC worked really well which is a huge plus because normally beach ones have issues. I could not have asked for a better home.
We had a group of friends stay for the week and the house was perfect for all of us! We had two dogs come with us and they loved having so much space to play! Definitely would come back! Greg is great!
This is our second stay at the Doghouse and it did not disappoint. You can not find a better owner to communicate with. Greg is always very accommodating and caring , his responses are also very timely. The house was very clean with clear instructions. You cannot get a better location! Definitely our go to when traveling with a large group! My favorite is the view from the deck and also private toilets for each bedroom with a Jack and Jill shower.
This was our second time staying at The Doghouse. We had more than enough room for two families and a dog. It is such a great location, with the beach just steps away, and has everything needed for a relaxing vacation. The house has had some updates since we were last there, which was a nice surprise. The owner, Greg was very responsive when I contacted him about checking in early. I would highly recommend staying at the Doghouse!
this is a great house for a large groutp.
Five bathrooms and a large kitchen. Great room is also good sized and thelarge game room at the top of the house isveryuseful..
Pet friendly home, close to the beach. Comfortable home with all basic essentials provided. Conveniently located to grocery shopping and places to explore (lighthouse and Wright Brothers museum). The beach was peaceful, clean and not crowded. (Mid-May). The house was clean and comfortable with space for everyone.
For value, convenience, and comfort, it doesn't get much better than The Dog House. We have stayed here several times and will continue to do so. The location and views are incredible. Steps from the beach, right down the road from grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. Large kitchen and dining room, plenty of bedrooms for large families, and a comfortable living area for watching movies or playing games. We will be staying here for Thanksgiving and again next January for a long weekend getaway. Love it and love our time spent there.
Welcoming home steps from the boardwalk to the beach. Plenty of room for family and friends. Awesome space on the 3rd floor for kids to hang out, watch tv, puzzle or craft. Kitchen well equipped for meals. Lots of deck space on 2 floors with swing and hot tub. The guarded beach is beautiful. Greg the owner is responsive, friendly and helpful. Can't wait to visit again :)
My family and I had the most amazing time staying here and would definitely love to come back!! This house had everything we could need from a beach house and more. There were enough games and activities to keep our two young children busy and they were absolutely ecstatic about sleeping in the bunk beds! The owner was more than accommodating and I felt that, if I needed anything during our stay, he would have provided it to us. We love that we were able to bring our dogs with us and enjoy our vacation with them too! All around a great vacation!!!
Great house with a beautiful view and so close to the beach!
The house was perfect for our family with plenty of space and a large family room where we could hang out together. Beautiful views from the balcony and the most comfortable blue deck chairs made my morning coffee absolutely perfect. The house is super close to the beach and not far from restaurants and the grocery store. It was our first trip to the Outerbanks and it won't be our last! Thanks Greg for a great house!
The Dog House was perfect for our spring break vacation - two families were able to stay very comfortably with plenty of space to spread out. We appreciated the large dining table with 8 chairs, large counter space for serving lots of food (!), large sofa with flat screen TV for evening time relaxing, and enough bedrooms for all of us! We took advantage of the bike paths, trails along the sound and the beach access. We had lots of fun on this trip - our first experience with the Outer Banks!
