Such a comfortable cottage! Got great night sleeps with plenty of room for everyone to spread out & watch movies together. Perfect location!!! Easy to walk to beach, grocery stores, and places to eat.
The proximity to the beach is amazing! We wanted cute beach cottage for our family of 5, this is exactly it. Clean and simple living space with a quick walk to the beach made it a great place to unplug for classic family fun.
The house was very clean and nicely kept. Plenty of room for 6 people. Nice short walk to the beach. Close by to everything we wanted to do...Jockey's Ridge State Park and the Wright Brother's monument and of course the beach! The beach cart was a huge help!
Awesome week. Older home but well maintained. Very short walk to beach access. Use of there beach cart was a great benefit. Easy to communicate with the owners. Would definitely stay again.
We really enjoyed our stay at Sea Sun Greetings. The house is adorable and in a fantastic location. Our *only* complaint is that you have to provide everything for yourself supply-wise, down to the trash bags. We were left with one trash bag, no laundry detergent and no dishwasher soap by the previous tenant. Come prepared and you’ll have a fantastic time!
If you're looking for a top-of-the-line brand new mega-house, move on. But if you want a legit "beach house" experience, this is the place. Cozy, simple, relaxed. Everything you need to unwind and stage as home base for a beach getaway. The house is 1/2 a block away from a public access and is just a simple 5-minute walk to having your feet in the sand. You're also no more than 5-10 minutes away from the best OBX restaurants. Nicole is so attentive and even reached out to make sure we didn't need anything from her. 5 stars!
This had been a first vacation in a while since Covid restrictions. We work in healthcare so it’s been stressful. Such a well needed getaway. My husband and our adult son and my teen nieces had an amazing time. Location was the best we ever had at a beach place, meaning…The cottage is located between the beach a block away and the market 2 blocks within walk distance. That made it less noisy and more family friendly. Lots of restaurants close by for adult time too. I am an avid cook and found the kitchen to be well stocked with the tools I needed. The beach space itself had beautiful sand and great waves. The dunes were close enough to enjoy an awesome kite flying experience. Most every vacation we have been on is not without a wrinkle, but the host was immediately responsive and that’s important to know when booking a VRBO. The cottage was exactly as advertised. We recommend.
If you are not familiar with the area, we recommend booking things like visiting the lighthouse and such in advance.
We enjoyed very much our stay. It is a great location, close to beach access and within easy walking distance to great restaurants and ice cream shops. The beds are comfortable, and the open floorplan was ideal for our family of five. That said, there are some very easy lifts the hosts could do to make it a 5-star stay.
I didn't notice in advance that sheets and towels are not provided, but I strongly encourage the hosts to reconsider this practice. Bringing five sets of bed sheets, beach towels, and bath towels takes up considerable trunk space. Making beds, stripping beds, washing and folding sheets and towels is exactly the type of work we're all trying to avoid when we go on vacation.
Next, the hosts require guests to provide paper towels and toilet paper for the next guests, saying they hate for renters to arrive and have none of these "necessities", but don't provide them themselves. Why not? The total cost is over $500 a night, but doesn't include toilet paper? Related, while dish machine soap is provided, sponges and dish soap for washing pots, pans, sheet trays, etc. is not, so we had to go buy those items as well. Also no kitchen towels or hot pads.
Providing these amenities and services would go a long way. As a restaurant owner, I sympathize with the difficulty in finding help (to wash sheets and make beds). That said, I'm also a fellow hospitality professional, and these amenities are, in my opinion, the bare minimum required in a hotel or short-term rental.
The property is in a great location, plenty of accommodations for a group of 8. Perfect distance from the beach. I do have a minor issue and a somewhat ethical issue. The minor issue is with the floor in the house. The owners laid LVT throughout the house, which was “glued” down, but the glue didn’t take, and therefore was extremely annoying when you walked in it. The house is dated, paneling coming off the walls, but that’s cosmetic and can be easily fixed. The ethical issue, is that I received the “house rules” after the cancellation date. Understandably, smoking, is not permitted in the house, but if a cigarette butt is found on the property, you sacrifice a deposit, which I never paid a deposit, therefore, they would just charge your credit card if they find a cigarette butt on the property. The property is on a main street towards the beach, that anyone could throw a cigarette on the property… I didn’t have a problem with cigarette butts, but if I didn’t do it, then I shouldn’t be charged for that. I made sure before I left, that there were no cigarette butts on the property. I did not know that I needed to provide sheets for all beds, it makes sense, and maybe that’s my ignorance. Thank goodness, Joe Lamb Jr and associates (daughters in-laws) helped me out with bedding. I won’t stay there again, but it’s not bad if you’re on a budget.
The home is in a great location and has the perfect beach vibe. Home was very clean and they have everything you will need to cook with in the kitchen. Host was great at communicating and I will for sure look to stay at this house again :)

Great stay for the $
We stayed the weekend, attending the wedding expo. The house was clean and comfortable, excellent location. Only downfall was you could hear through the walls very easily and the beds/pillows smelled old. Great value for location

Our family loved our stay here. The home was very clean and well stocked. We had one small issue which the owner responded to immediately. The location was great! It is a quick walk to the beach and there are a ton of shops close by.

Great house for split family!
The location is great with easy access to groceries, beach, shopping, restaurants. The best aspect was that with two different families the house worked perfect and it didn't feel like we were living on top of each other. Our second time in the OBX and it just keeps getting better!
Great location! Enough space for my family of 5 and mother. Close to beach, restaurants, grocery store and shops as well as tourist attractions (Jockey Ridge State Park, Wright Brothers Memorial and Bodie Lighthouse). Thank you to owners for sharing their home!
It was a short trip so we didn't want to have to deal with problems at the house. We didn't have to, it was all good. Nice and clean, thanks for the stay.
This house was fantastic for our family of 6. The bedrooms were perfectly sized and beds super comfy. The house was clean, appliances worked perfectly and the AC was COLD! Couldn’t have picked a better location….one block to the beach. The beach cart was fantastic and several chairs for us to use. House was located in the heart of everything! Owners were awesome when we had questions. HIGHLY recommend this house and would definitely stay here again!!! Thank you for everything!
