Other things to note
Property & Preference Disclaimer:

We appreciate our OBX bungalow, its a great home yet, like most older homes it is not ideal, has some quirks and is certainly not for a fit every group. Our primary objective is to ensure the safety and comfort of our guests, so we hope you understand, if a significant weather event is forecasted during a reservation there may be an impact. We have found many guest visitors to the Outer Banks consider purchasing vacation rental travel insurance as additional protection and tranquility of mind.

We respect that folks have different preferences and worldviews. If you're looking for a unique place and local experience in a great beach town to relax, spend time with appreciated ones, chill out, prepare and rest your head after the beach then the bungalow checks all the boxes. If your seeking a ideal, flawless home or are super high maintenance, this is not the place for you.

Book today to ensure your reservation, before another guest does! :)

Check Out Etiquette: We put a lot of time and effort to deliver great stays for our guests. If we find deliberate damage, disrespect or lack of basic cleanliness during the check out inspection, fee's will be charged to compensate our cleaners and ensure the property is ready for guests.
