I was hoping for a better view of the ocean from the cabana, but it's a quick walk to get there. Be sure to read the entire message in VRBO - there's lots of information that slipped by me because I skimmed - my bad!

If you have a lifted truck you will not fit under the cabana but there were a few spots to park which worked out. The sun deck had a perfect view of the beach and it was a very short walk to the beach. The location was perfectly placed between hatteras village and Frisco.I would highly recommend this adorable cabana. ##### Amber D.

Very close to the beach and cabana was attractive and clean. Didn’t have any communications with the host but didn’t need them as instructions were very clear on VRBO site and did get the needed final check in instructions three days before my checkin date which was exactly what it said on Vrbo site. I would come back to the cabanas. ##### Lynn R.

The good far outweighed the bad. Minor bads: The Two large stove burners didn’t work, CD player didn’t work “nocd” code for multiple disks. No problem for us, as we don’t usually watch TV on vacation. They can use a high table on top deck for snacks and drinks while watching the sunset. Overall fine vacation. with Netflix and Prime. ##### Lisa H.

We ABSOLUTELY loved it...BUT...We were under the impression from the online photos and description was that our Cabana was Oceanfront and Beachfront....online had us to believe our porch stepped right on to the beach...the Cabana was actually 5 or 6 cabanas away from the beach....All that being said...WE TRULY ENJOYED OUR STAY!!! ##### Jaye M.

I left two messages and called once and was never contacted. We left a note for the cleaners so that hopefully it would get to the host and the issue could be fixed prior to new renters coming in. ##### Amy R. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Carla M. 4 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Lost shaker of salt Such a cute little cabana in a great location. Would have loved it more if it was directly on the beach. The neighbors were pleasant and not too loud. The only negative was that the pull out couch did not have a mattress to sleep on. There was a blow up topper that did not have a pump for it so one person had to sleep on the couch as is all week. ##### Carla M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Donna S. 21 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### A great vacation. We had a wonderful stay. In spite of a few mishaps. The community was very pleasant. Everywhere we traveled in the area all of the people were very polite and had lots to share. There is no need to be concerned about safety however, always just be cautious about your surroundings. We ventured out with our bikes for several days to check out our neighborhood. We even did two boat rides. The first was a mini cruise to see the sunset beautiful. The other was to go fishing. We definitely will return to this place again. ##### Donna S.

Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Brenda P. 11 Nov 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Room for 2 with a view. I realize we are at the beach, but it seemed as if the outside had not been cleaned since the storms so there was lots of sand that kept being tracked in. Refrigerator did not cool well enough and I do not think the vacuum sucked sufficiently to remove inside sand. Having had rental property before, I know it is important for the owner to know any problems. We had a nice stay. Thanks ##### Brenda P.
