Great location
Property was just as described. Great location. Property owner is quick to respond. Close to beach access and fishing access. It is warmer on the 2nd floor so I would recommend a portable a/c for the warmer months. Would definitely rent again.

Great Location in Outer Banks
Communication with owner before we arrived was easy and quick. Check-in was easy and we enjoyed the location which is a backyard and street away from the ocean. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and convenient to going either north or south on the Outer Banks. We enjoyed our time at "Down South". We did not realize we needed to bring our own sheets and towels. We stopped at a thrift store in Kitty Hawk on the way down and bought some. We left them behind in hopes that someone else will be able to use them in the future. Since we were flying from other locations and not coming from our home bringing sheets and towels was not possible. The thrift store seemed to be a good source for them.

Beach Week with Debbie
Despite Hurricane Debbie tagging along for most of our Nags Head vacation, we had a great stay at "Down South." Laurie was a fantastic host. Extremely helpful and thoughtful. The house and deck were actually more spacious than I was expecting, and easy to settle in to. Gorgeous views from the back deck, and as other visitors have mentioned, accessing the beach is really convenient. The beach itself seemed a little narrow on that part of the island, but I suspect the storm surge was a contributing factor. That said, Coquina Beach is just a 5 minute drive further south and definitely worth checking out. O'Neils Seafood on Wanchese is also worth a short excursion. Thanks for a great beach week Laurie!

Comfy beach house
We had a pleasant stay with an easy, short walk to the beach. There was salt and pepper, dishwasher pods, dish soap, kitchen sponges, and coffee filters available, which was nice. You need to remember toilet paper and paper towels. The listing might have mentioned all that, but I figured it out after we arrived . We would be happy to stay again. Thank you , Laurie!

Easy vacation home
This house has all the supplies you could want for a relaxing stay - - lots of kitchen supplies, games, puzzles, books, beach chairs & umbrella. It's a short walk to the beach, in a very quiet neighborhood, and backs to the marsh for a good view of the sunset.

Home away from home
This was our fourth stay at Down South. It’s always comfortable and relaxing, with lots of space in and out to cook, enjoy meals with family, read, play games and get some sun. The screen porch and deck are great, beach is a quick walk, neighborhood is quiet and stores and attractions are nearby. Couldn’t ask for more!

The Perfect Beach Retreat
It's always a shot in the dark when booking onlone, just as it's a delight when property is so much better than you could have imagined. Down South is absolutely comfortable, with even beach reading mags and books stashd ere and there. The back view is serenely glorious and the neighborhood is lovely and peaceful. The host is gracious and easy to communicate with. We're already planning our next stay.

Quiet street beautiful sunsets
The back deck faced the most beautiful sunsets, comfy deck chairs on spacious deck. EVERYTHING is close, restaurants, markets, gas, shopping, etc. Hubby has a huge amount of fishing equipment to lug to the beach, it was an easy walk, no dunes, all pavement, but we did cheat and cut through 2 vacant houses in front of us, made it a shorter walk. Owner was super quick to respond to my stupid questions, we will stay here again. OH! Mini Cornhole was so fun playing in the living room when it rained!!!
