If you want to be at OBX but not next to the beach, this is a charming house for a family to call home for a week. A short, easy drive to the Kitty Hawk Beach House access and centrally located on OBX (near several good restaurants north or south from access). Tucked away in quiet neighborhood with a hot tub and screened porch, and there is room to relax or play games if rainy.
Super clean! Great for kids! Cozy and away from the main strip and traffic!
Some of the photos were not accurate (there is not really a booth like table in the kitchen area as a photo displays, which we were hoping to use for our larger family, but we made it work)- but otherwise the home was great!
Overall we had a great stay. It started out a little rocky when we were getting ready for bed and discovered there were no sheets on the master bed. We looked high and low and finally found them in the washing machine still wet. Other than that the house was great. Backyard is also a staging area for a landscaping company so that was a bit unexpected, but wasnât a problem. Hot tub was a really nice feature that we enjoyed daily.
Second time staying here. It was as wonderful as the first! Everything was very clean as always. Took a couple of day trips this time cause the weather didn't cooperate as we would have liked. Very nice house and would highly recommend!!
We had a wonderful time in Outer Banks. This property was absolutely beautiful! It had all the amenities of home. The owner was quick to respond to questions. Great location. About 10 min drive to beach. Very helpful recommendations for nearby restaurants in the welcome book. Overall an amazing stay and can't wait to come back next year!!
We had a wonderful stay here in Kitty Hawk! The property was perfect as well as the location. The home was stocked with everything we needed which was an amazing bonus. It was a great amount of space to play games and celebrate our wonderful bride to be! I highly recommend this location to anyone looking to travel to OBX!!
This is one of the best rentals I have stayed at. Itâs a 10 mins drive from the beach in a quiet residential neighborhood. The house is equipped with everything you would want for a rental. Itâs awesome how the owners have put so much thought into it. From the beach towels to the kids toys, it felt like a home away from home, especially for our two young children who had a blast. We also loved the decor of the house. Special shout out to the restaurant recommendations, we didnât have to search for any and most of them were amazing. Lindsey was also very responsive and was generous to loan us a beach umbrella during our stay!
We hope to be back sometime next year :-)
The Ivy House was everything and more that we expectedâa slightly off the beaten path, low-key rental for a long weekend. Itâs immaculately clean, and communication with Lindsey was fast and easy. She has thought of everything you need to get started without having to run right out to the grocery store. The beds were soooo comfy; we left wanting to buy the same mattresses for our beds at home. The master shower is phenomenal- best of any rental weâve ever stayed in across 15+ years of vacations.
If youâre looking for an efficient hub by day and quiet place to crash in the eveningsâŠthis property is a great option.
We had a great family vacation staying in The Ivy House. Lindsey is a great host and answered any questions we had and even helped us find things to do for the perfect vacation
We liked our stay at the Ivy house it gave us fond memories which will stay with us forever, this home has everything you could ask for, its at great location and the host - Lindsey has been accommodating all our requests.
The ivy house is wonderful. Me and my wife stayed for our anniversary and couldnât ask for anything better. The master shower is tremendous. Absolutely nothing bad to say at all. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again
This is the place ! We enjoyed this stay ! The place was super clean and had everything needed ! The owner was super helpful and was so easy to communicate with ! We will be back !
We had a comfortable stay. Lindsay was helpful and easy to communicate with. She let us know to contact her if we needed anything. There were 6 of us, and we had plenty of room. The property was an easy drive to beaches, shops, and restaurants. We loved the Outer Banks.
This charming home located just 8 minutes from the beach was the perfect stay.
The home was very comfortable for a friends and family trip. (It's even kid and baby friendly) Our host Lindsey was extremely accommodating and considered everything to make our stay warm and enjoyable. She was unbelievably responsive and attentive to any request we had before and during our stay in her home.
The house has a hot tub, grill, all of the kitchen appliances you can think of and lots beach towels.
I would highly recommend this home for a beach get-a-way!
My now Husband and i bought this home in 2014- before kids. We quickly out grew this home once kids started coming into the picture ;) We love everything about this home and what it represents!! We flipped it to rent right as Covid-19 started to take over the US...we were a little discouraged, but everything came back around. Well, like i said we have 2 kids and they helped us flipped this home!! It was a great family memory we will always cherish! We hope you enjoy this home as we have!!
This neighborhood was and is exactly where my husband wanted to raise his kids. It's off the beaten path, quiet and just gorgeous back here!! Only 3 miles from the beach, walmart and many grocery stores, etc its a perfect location!
The Ivy House is just shy of 2 acres and buts up to the creek and sound. The back deck is perfect for watching sunsets; through some trees, but still just as gorgeous.
