Summary: True beach cottage experience. The kitchen was well organized and offered everything you might need. Bubba’s was clean with loads of charming extras. A highlight for us was the amazing outdoor shower!

Summary: Great Family Vacation to OBX. Family of three with an 11 yr old stayed a week in July and could not asked for a better first trip to the Outer Banks. The cottage was very cozy and plenty of room for the three of us. Has everything you need to relax for a dinner in or close to surrounding that are not tourist. Great location and a short walk up the dunes to the beach where you can be in your own on the beach. Overall Great Stay!!

Summary: We DIDN’T want to leave!!!! My family had an amazing time. We explored the beaches, we enjoyed the area, grilled outside, walked the beach at night…it was exactly the peacefulness we needed. We plan on making this a definite ‘go to’ for our family vacations! The owners were very communicative and extremely accommodating. Simply a great time!!

Summary: The perfect secluded place for relaxation but still an easy drive to the activities and restaurants on the island. The decor is super cute, it had everything we needed and was unbelievably quiet. The beach was just a short walk over the dune and there were hardly any other people. The beach chairs were greatly appreciated. We had a fun playing the video games at night and listening to old albums in the evenings. Sara was super responsive and helpful to our questions. This was the most relaxing trip we have experienced in many years!

Summary: We had a wonderful time at Sara & Barrett beautiful beach house. It was really unique, quirky & retro all in one! You felt like you were waking up in a tree house in the top bedroom! We drove around the Outer Banks as far as Kitty Hawks to the North & Buxton to the South, and Salvo was genuinely the nicest part with such a beautiful beach. We couldn’t believe how uncrowded it was in August!! Sara was so helpful and gave lots of recommendations. 😊 we had takeout from Boardwok & Lisa’s Pizeria & ate out at Good Winds and a bit further north at Kills Devil Grill (which is so worth the drive!) after horse riding in Nags Head. Thank you again for having us, we had the best time and just wish we had stayed longer! 😊
