Big Kitchen, Two Masters, Hot Tub, Short Walk from Croatan Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Betsy was very responsive to communication. To a Midwesterner, Virginia prices seem a bit high. Nothing about this was a surprise, though, her communication is very clear on her listing. But her lovely Croatan Beach home was worth the rental price. We easily accommodated our large group for sleeping, and the two master suites are a bonus! The kitchen is well-equipped, and it was easy to prepare meals for our six-family groups. The main living floor provides two comfortable settings for socializing.The outdoor hot tub on the ground level was very convenient. The multiple decks and bathrooms served our many people well. The top level deck has a great view!Access to the beach is convenient. Betsy's instructions about rinsing feet upon your return is well-supported by the two outdoor hoses. If we lived closer, I would be saving now for a return visit!"

5BR Beach Home with Pool & Hot Tub & Rooftop Deck

10/10 Excellent

There was plenty of bed space, the kitchen was clean and well stocked, and getting in was very easy.The neighborhood is very safe, and the small pool in the backyard was perfect for squirt fights with the young crowd."
