The cabin was a perfect place to go to sleep after staying out all day on the beach. Close to Fat Boys for ice cream and some of our favorite restaurants. Although advertised as “soundproof walls” our experience was otherwise, could definitely hear our neighbors very clearly through the walls. No complaints, would stay there again with my wife on another long weekend on the Outer Banks!!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our toilet didn’t work the first night and they took a while to move rooms. The staff wasn’t very helpful. We were trying to move rooms because they took the entire toilet off and put it in the shower. We thought that was enough to move us to a different room right away but it took a while for staff to do so. We have stayed here before and always have had good experiences but this time wasn’t very good.

The bed was excellent, but the room was tiny. The shower was small, but there was great water pressure. The television worked. We were at the beach most of the day, so having a great night's sleep was important. Perfect location. The staff was very kind.
