We saw deer eating berries around the property on the daily, as well as Osprey and other sea birds flying over.The house itself is amazing and is stocked fully for your every convenience. We enjoyed playing pool in the gameroom, but our favorite spot was definitely on the screened porch. Day or night. It's high vantage point made for amazing views and an inconspicuous way to watch the wildlife. The swing was amazingly relaxing.Also, being pet-friendly was amazing. We always travel with our 2 furry friends.The beach access is easy to reach at the end of the road, and is very private. The tennis courts are even closer.As we toured lighthouses both north at Currituck and south at Cape Hatteras, Second Nature was in the perfect location for us, close to in the middle!!Highly recommend, and we will be back. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/29322516-7778-4d10-bf48-cfd99abde217-1759091350836.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2f24f7a9-f947-4d40-9df2-514117491052-1759091350760.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/77e40fd7-a8c5-4075-89d1-277d535f82df-1759091350802.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7421e1b8-b4bc-4ae4-8522-679380551dec-1759091351233.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Trish B.

The porch swing was a hit. My grandson loves fishing in the canal. It's the best of both worlds. Shade and sound in back and beach in front. It was nice being at the beach in the daytime and having the pool in the shade in the evening. The only negative thing is that there was poison ivy/oak around the house and pool and we did come home with some :( Other than that we had a blast. ##### Joyce P.

The property accommodated our family of 6, including 2 grandsons plus one small dog. The house is located in a very pleasant section of Sea Oats development, with easy access to the beach, tennis courts and basketball court. The roads were fairly empty, providing many good routes for bicycling. The house was spacious, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone in our family. All on all, we were very comfortable staying at Second Nature. ##### Damon B. Stayed 12 nights in Dec 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mike G. 22 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy First and foremost, 2 of us were sick all week with a sore throat and stuffed up. Our last day we found black mold on the basement ceiling and in the skylight upstairs. They advertise kayaks and a telescope. Neither of which we could use. The owner basically told us too bad.Told the owner all the batteries for thw remotes were dead, never heard a response on that. Paid a fee for linens and got an email after everyone was already en route that towels werent included. So we had to go out and buy all new towels for everyone. Not to mention dish towels. Weeds over ran the place, and you had to check for ticks daily. Having said that, the house itself was very nice and the pool was great. Everyone had a great time, but we got the house to use the kayaks, and ended up spending more money to rent them. Wouldnt go back. ##### Mike G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy U. 9 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved our time, as expected Everything about the home was as the listing said. Very comfortable home that we immediately settled into. Nicely appointed kitchen and other parts of the home left us wanting for nothing. The couple of small issues that came up were resolved Immediately. Great home, great location and great home experience for our long term stay. You’ll love it too!! ##### Amy U.
