What a Gem!!

We planned a last-minute getaway; and we found a gem! This place is perfect for a family of 4. The best part is so much cleaner than a hotel!! Short walk to beach, shop and food. Almost a perfect 5 in all categories, but a 5-star overall!

Charming and clean

My family of four really enjoyed our stay and everything was just as described. The house is closer to the beach then it looks in the pics and the house had plenty of space and stocked with an abundance of necessities. House was very clean upon our arrival and in a central location. Will stay again

Loved our stay!

Our family of 4 and 1 four legged family member loved our stay at the Funky Flamingo! The house was just the right size. The neighborhood was quiet and we were so close to the beach! The house was clean and stocked with what we needed. The owner was extremely nice and made sure we were happy, she was a delight to talk to and work with. We will be coming back to the Outer Banks and the Funky Flamingo will be on our list to stay in again!

Great location, updated and super clean

We had a great vacation! My husband likes to fish and could walk to the pier (3-4 minutes), my son and I walked along and played on the beach right next to pier. Couple of restaurants within walking also. House was equipped with everything we could need and owner was very responsive. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely perfect!!

We absolutely loved this house! It was perfect. Decorated beautifully and well maintained. Morning walks to the beach to take in the sunrises took all of 3 minutes. The owner was very responsive to any questions or concerns (not that we had any) I would definitely recommend this property to anyone and will most definitely be renting again.

Small but Cozy home close to beach!

This was our first trip to the OBX and we enjoyed staying at the Funky Flamingo! It looks tiny from the outside but we had plenty of room for the four in our family. The house was clean and the kitchen was adequately stocked for the cooking we did. The beds were comfortable, had good lighting and appreciated the ceiling fans. I also appreciated the water filter in the refrigerator, the water pressure in the shower and having a grill. The best feature was the close walk to the beach. Loved the area and how close it was to restaurants, shops and entertainment. The owner responded quickly to any messages sent and provided me great recommendations for our first trip. Cons: one bedroom does not have a window, the listing says there is a dishwasher and there is not, listing also says there was a blow dryer and there is not (I left mine at home for this reason), the glass on the back door was shattered and had a note on it not to use it-inconvenient when grilling dinner. Trash was not picked up on day posted. The listing and the check in/check out procedures need to be updated to adequately match the property. These are Small inconveniences but not a deal breaker. Would stay here again if the price stays reasonable. Thank you for a great stay at the Funky Flamingo!

This property was perfect for my family. It is in the perfect location for spending time at the beach and making memories, and keeping us cool at night during this heat wave! Everything we needed was available. We are thinking of making this a yearly trip, and my kids won't want to stay anywhere other than this "flamingo house!"

This was the best OBX beach rental my husband and I have ever stayed in. It exceeded all of our expectations in cleanliness, welcoming atmosphere, perfect location, and everything in between. Will absolutely book here any time we want to stay in OBX.

The property was a great location and it was perfect for our visit. We were able to watch fireworks from the driveway instead of dealing with the very busy beach. It was close to restaurants and shopping and two minute walk to the beach.
