Family Beach Trip
The house was very clean when we arrived. Plenty of space for all 10 adults and 1 dog. We enjoyed our stay very much and had a long overdue family beach trip. The pool was nice to cool off in after a long beach day, two outdoor showers to rinse the sand off. Neighborhood was nice and quiet with that small town feeling. Beach was not overcrowded like some of the commercialized beachs. It was so peaceful. Would recommend and stay again.

Life IS GOLDEN!
Our family had an amazing stay at this property! Cleanliness, location, pool, hot tub, pool table, all the amenities, close to beach access and pier. Walking distance from DQ, Mirros cafe, and paddle-boarding. Pet friendly! Our Golden fur-nephew and our two chihuahuas also had the BEST time! Thank you for your hospitality!

Waves Family Vacation
The house had plenty of space for our party of 7 adults, a teen and two infants. The pool, hot tub and billiard room were great for when we were not out and about. Kitchen and grill were great for meal prep. The central location of Waves makes it more convenient to visit north and south OBX attractions. Sunday check-in/out avoids the Saturday rush. Had a great week.

Great family vacation
The area was perfect for our beach trip with extended family. There were plenty of beach fun accessories available to use which we also left a few additional things behind for the next guests since they will not be used. I really loved the pool area very relaxing. I had no issues at all and it was a nice stress free time with my family. Alex shrimp shack was phenomenal yum. Check it out Also so much to do and see there and the beaches are stunning. Thanks for making the house Available we loved it
