Perfect vacation spot

We had a blast during our stay. The house was very accommodating for pets. I loved the gates on the porches, worked out well for our husky. Seeing all the wildlife in the morning was a huge plus. Location was awesome, close to the beach and across from the grocery store! We will be planning another stay there in the future.

Short Stay

going in we knew that we couldn’t stay the whole week. However Parrots Perch made the days we had a wonderful experience. The cottage is decorated beautifully and was very comfortable. But is was the deck over the pond and the turtles and other wildlife that made our stay truly spectacular. We ate all of our meals at the cottage on the deck and leftovers and extra bread went to the permanent residents.

Very nice place

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation to the Outer Banks and our stay at Parrots Perch. It was very nice and super clean. The only downside was the proximity to the main highway. However, we would stay here again if we visit OBX.

Family Vacation

This is the third time that our family of four has stayed at Parrot’s Perch and it has never disappointed! The house is wonderful and cozy and the kids always look forward to seeing the turtles. Thank you for sharing your home so that we can enjoy some time at the beach! We will definitely stay again (& again).

Wonderful Family Getaway

My family really enjoyed our time here! The inside is cozy, and had everything we needed for a family of four (with two younger kids) to feel comfortable. Outside, we really enjoyed sitting on the patio to enjoy the pond and cool sea breeze. The turtles were a lot of fun, and after spending each day at the beach the outside shower was indispensable. Overall, it was a great place for our first OBX vacation.

Pleased

Beautifully maintained cottage, spotless, and well stocked. The back yard and deck were favorite spots(for us and our pup) and enjoyed the gas grill. Feeding the turtles and birds added to the fun. Just a few blocks from the beach! Hope to visit Parrot's Perch again-highly recommend for small family/groups.

Perfect location!

We loved our stay at parrot's perch! The house is beautifully decorated and the perfect size for the two of us. We also loved that we could bring our dog and that the yard was fenced in. Everything was so convenient from the quick walk to the beach to all the brochures in the house letting us know all the fun experiences we could have. We're going to miss our little turtle neighbors swimming over to say hello everytime walked onto the deck!

Nice Little house

Small House. A little close to Rte 158 so you can hear traffic. Nice deck over pond though the pond was full of algae. Backyard is large and fenced in and well maintained. it is as advertised short walk to the beach. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed our stay

Feels like home

Mike and Debbie have thought of everything to make your vacation enjoyable and headache free. The pride of ownership is reflected in their home. Each time I come they have added something new! :) Love the swing on the porch and new flooring on the porch is so easy to sweep up the sand. Having stayed in several different properties over the years, it is so nice to always come to a spotless home. I am already thinking of next year!

Better Than Expected...

We honestly have nothing bad to say about Parrots Perch. From the moment we walked in we did not want to leave. The cottage is so warm and welcoming. Tastefully decorated and well stocked with items you may have forgot. Very short walk to the beach and so convenient to stores and restaurants. The real allure is the turtles and other wildlife. As soon as someone walks out on the deck the turtles come swimming, looking for food. The outdoor space is as pleasing as the inside. Our Dachshund absolutely had a blast. Pretty sure he had the best vacation ever. Truly a slice of paradise. So blessed to have had the opportunity to spend a week at this gem. Thanks for sharing!!!

I loved this property and the little things that set it aside from other rentals. The decor is beautiful. The feeling and vibe of the front porch and back deck puts you in vacation mode. This property is well maintained and it shows. The pond and turtles are a superb bonus!!! Close to many restaurants and grocery stores.

We LOVE this property!!!

This was our second time staying at the Parrot's Perch and we will definitely be back! It's a beautiful home and has everything we need for a lovely week at the beach! It's clean, cozy, and well-stocked. Our border collie loves the yard - it's perfect for throwing frisbee, our kids love the turtles and birdwatching, and my husband and I love the deck and swing, which are perfect for morning coffee and relaxing. We got to meet Debby, the property owner, this trip and she was such a delight! Our family feels so at home here and we just can't recommend it highly enough! From our perspective - it's the most perfect place in the OBX! We love it so much!

Another great stay

This was our fourth time staying at Parrot’s Perch. We just love the little cottage. Has all you need. We ate every meal outside on the deck. Grilled several nights and my little dog loved the backyard and the family of ducks that visited on the water often. The new furniture arrangement in the living room is much better and we watched the Olympics every night. Over the years we’ve seen the addition of the swing and the picnic table. Can’t wait to see what’s in store next. Thank you!

The perfect vacation place

This house is beyond cute and so lovely. The host is so very generous with amenities, there is coffee and other cooking supplies. I am amazed at the cleanliness and overall decor, it’s so cozy. The fenced in backyard is perfect for dogs or kids (and adults too). The grass is so well kept you can walk around barefoot. There are lovely flowers all around the property. It’s close to the beach and just about anything else you may need, including restaurants and ice cream. This is the second year we have stayed here and we hope to book it again next year. I highly recommend this lovely house.

We absolutely loved our stay. The place was very clean and well stocked with anything you might need. We brought our dogs and the place is very dog friendly with the fenced in backyard and the gates in the deck. The grass in the backyard is plush and nice. We enjoyed the turtles coming up to the deck every time we came outside. The house is close to the beach and most everything else too. I would highly recommend staying here and we hope to stay here again!

Family fun at the Parrot’s Perch

From the moment we stepped into the house, we were relaxed and ready for our vacation. The house was sparkling clean and tastefully decorated, with much care given to special details that gave us an immediate beach vibe. Our family loved feeding the turtles and enjoyed relaxing on the front porch and back deck. We looked forward to unwinding at the house after a day at the beach, which was a short walk away. Our dog loved running around the spacious and fenced backyard. The house was centrally located to restaurants, grocery stores, and the beach. We will definitely stay here again when we return to OBX.
