This was our first trip to the Outer Banks, and we couldn't have possibly had a better experience! The condo was everything that we expected from the pictures and descriptions... and more!! Clean, comfortable, spacious, and beyond well-maintained, Tamara has thought of, and anticipated, everything that travelers, (even kids) might need for a stay at the beach. Whether you are in the mood for sun & sand on the beach (literally just a 2 minute walk), a refreshing dip in the private pool, quiet relaxation on the shaded deck, or just some family time around the table for a meal or game, this property checks all of the boxes. Local shops, entertainment, and food are all within walking distance, as is the Rodanthe Pier and a private pond for fishing. On a side note, North Carolina has a 10-day fishing license that you can buy online at ncwildlife.org for less than $15 (under 16 years old is FREE) that was perfect for me and my kids. As a host, Tamara is best in her class. She responds quickly to any and all questions, and provides a beautiful, comfortable space that is meticulously organized down to the smallest details. She even has things labeled so you know what light switch works what lights, how to use the coffee bar (yes, you read that correctly... coffee bar!), as well as all of the little things that sometimes take time to figure out in other rental properties. We are so happy we got to "be her guests", 5 stars just doesn't seem enough! We can't wait to return!
