    I would stay here again

    The owners are so detailed, wonderful instructions for using the property, even little labels on all the light switches. The home is an older outbanks beach home, but the owners have updated the property so it feels new. The location is perfect for the beach and local restaurants. We traveled with our elderly father and he was quite able to walk to the beach with no problems, it’s just a quick walk. Twice weekly pool cleaning made our pool experience perfect. The house is clean, new appliances, fully stocked (gadgets and cookware) large kitchen. This place would be a perfect… Read more “I would stay here again”

    Anniversary getaway

    The house was great and super close to the beach! The house is super roomy and well stocked. Our doggies loved it too, especially the cozy front porch in the AMs after their walk. The pool is a good size and fenced in yard was ideal for our fur babies. We would go back! Thanks again for a fabulous long weekend! The Jacksons

    Overall, a great property and close to the beach. We were a family of 3 and a dog and it was perfect for all of us, plenty of room. We loved the fenced yard for our dog, the pool, and the hottub. It was only a 2 minute walk to the beach. Great communication with the owners, very responsive.

    Great location and amenities!

    Our family of 4 adults, 4 children ages 2 to 13 years, and dog thoroughly enjoyed our week at this vacation home! The neighborhood was quiet with little traffic. The pool, hot tub, and back yard make this property special and we appreciated that the pool was serviced while we were there. The property owners were easy to communicate with and helpful.

    Perfect last minute getaway

    We decided to take a long weekend at OBX and booked this less than 2 weeks before leaving. The location was perfect – a VERY short walk to the beach and close to lots of good restaurants. The house was more than enough for the 3 of us (me, my husband and youngest son) and we are hoping that next year my youngest son’s girlfriend and my oldest son and his girlfriend will be able to join us since it will be perfect for the 3 couples (3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms). The hosts were quick to reply when we… Read more “Perfect last minute getaway”

    Fantastic family oriented home for families with children and especially those with pets.

    My family wanted to get away and have a vacation during this Covid time. We decided that going to a summer vacation spot in the off season would be the way to go. We had a Wonderfull experience at this house. It is clean, has a hot tub and pool. It is pet friendly and the layout of the house gives you different rooms to hang out, even when the kids want some alone time. We had a fantastic experience and plan on going back.

    Our Mini-Moon

    My husband and I were supposed to get married this past May and honeymoon in the Caribbean. Covid changed our plans drastically and we decided to have a smaller wedding and honeymoon in state in the Outer Banks. (my first time visiting) We were able to bring our dog and everything turned out absolutely perfect. The weather was perfect, the house was spacious and great location. We loved shopping for fresh fish and cooking dinners in the well equipped kitchen. I look forward to visiting again. Despite all of the throwbacks of 2020, our special trip was amazing and very… Read more “Our Mini-Moon”

    A Family Friendly Ocean-View Stay At OBX

    This was our first visit to the Outer Banks (OBX) but it will not be our last. We had an excellent stay at the Paradise Ocean View OBX. It is a great family friendly house, that easily accommodated 10 family members and our lab mix dog. Roomy and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with excellent appliances and plenty of dishes and pans. It was a short walk to the ocean, but the fresh water shower and pool are excellent and were enjoyed by the whole family. It is in a quiet family friendly neighborhood, but easily accessible to all the… Read more “A Family Friendly Ocean-View Stay At OBX”

The location is perfect, the rooms are spacious and the house was decorated very nicely! Adorable decorations throughout. We took our parents, baby and dog with us on this trip and the house was accommodating for everyone in our group (even our pup). We especially appreciated the fact that the house had a nice bathing area for our baby, much more spacious than any other home we have rented in the Outer Banks.

    We spend the week of July 4th at Paradise by the Sea with all our children and had a great time. The location is fantastic, just a two minutes walk from the beach which was not crowded at all. The house had everything we needed and was clean. The kitchen was well stocked in utensils which I appreciated as we cooked every day in the house. The beds were comfortables and we had more than enough space even though we were 8. The fenced yard, pool and spa outside were a great plus for us with our dog and kids.… Read more “Awesome!”

    Elizabeth was great about getting back to me on all of my questions both before and during my stay. The house was nice and it was very dog friendly – with a fenced in yard. I was only a 2 minute walk from the beach and right in the heart of Kitty Hawk (mile post 4.5).

    Family Time At the Beach

    We LOVED our stay at The Outer Banks Beach Paradise during the July 4th holiday. Talk about starting vacation with a bang! Fireworks everywhere to welcome us! This house is located in Kitty Hawk at about Mile Post 4.5 between the beach road and the bypass, much closer to the beach road! The walk to the beach was minimal, down about 4 houses and then about 3 lots to the beach road, cross the road to the access walk to the beach. The boarded access walkway over the dunes was easy, not to high and the beach was beautiful! This… Read more “Family Time At the Beach”

    Thank You

    The owner responded very promptly to our last minute request. I would describe the house as “shabby chic” but in a good way. What needed to be updated and modern was, and the decor made it feel like the perfect beach home. Fenced yard was great for our dog, and he did not have any problems with spurs which are so hard to avoid on the Outer Banks. Hope to stay here again soon.

    Perfect Getaway

    Rented this house for a long weekend and loved it! The house is large enough for 6 adults to relax and not worry about bumping into each other. Having 3 full baths is a major plus. Owner responds quickly to any questions. 2-3 minute walk to the beach (if you are a slow walker). The house is conveniently located to shopping, entertainment and restaurants. One of the few houses in the area to have a pool and hot tub, both of which are super clean. I absolutely look forward to renting this house again in the future.

    Best Vacation in a Long Time

    My mom and I and my two Vizsla’s spent a week at this house. The house was everything as stated in the description/pictures and more. The weather was good but since it was the end of April, I did not use the pool or hot tub. Loved having the fenced in yard for the dogs, but I concur about the burrs and cactus plants. My boys had a hard time with them getting in their paws, but it was controllable. Both my mom and I felt very much at home and I cooked pretty much every day.

    Nice Place, Great Time to Visit

    Having been raised on the West Coast, but living near the mountains of North Carolina for the last couple of decades, we wanted a week of no tourists, quiet, and decent weather at the beach. We also wanted to take our dog this trip. The kitchen is large, rooms spacious, no complaints on the home. We were even able to wash the dog outside after a trip in the ocean. Although we brought water, mainly for the dog due to some reviews, we didn’t need it. The water in the home is clear, clean and good.

    My husband and I spent a four day Thanksgiving weekend at this house and we had such a wonderful and relaxing time! The house is clean, very spacious and comfortable. The large kitchen is stocked with any dish, cookware or utensil you could possibly need. The backyard is really big and great if you bring your dog. Our only issue with the backyard were the cactus burrs that got stuck to our pants and our dog! But that’s not really in their control.

    My family rented this house for a week in August and really enjoyed it. The house is an easy walk to the beach as well as two good restaurants, Hurricane Moes and The Black Pelican. There is a grocery store, brew thru and more restaurants in easy driving distance. The house was roomy and we enjoyed both the pool and hot tub. Everything worked and the house was fully equipped.

    OBX Beach Paradise – Great Thanksgiving Stay!

    We really enjoyed our stay here over thanksgiving. The house is very inviting and it made for a wonderful family get together. The kitchen was well stocked and to my surprise even included a roasting pan for the turkey! Very close to the beach. The short walk is much less than 2 minutes. Beach was gorgeous and we enjoyed packing lunches and relaxing on the beach. The black pelican is less than half a mile away and was great.

    Great beach start to the New Year!

    We stayed at OBX Beach Paradise over New Years. The house is very cozy and had everything you need. We really enjoyed taking walks on the beach and were pleased with how close it was. I love dining out on vacations and the house was close to many great restaurants. Beachside bistro is a little over a mile away and is superb. We cannot wait to go back when it’s warmer and eat on their patio. There are ocean views from the front windows and we enjoyed listening to the ocean from the screen porch. The beds were very comfortable.
