The house itself was beautiful and so clean. The location, while not so quick, was gorgeous and worth the drive. We loved being secluded and seeing all of the wild horses roaming each day. The pool and hot tub were both very nice to have and we always love a short walk to the beach. Thank you for such a great visit! ##### Katelin B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven N.

They had everything to keep kids and adults entertained, no matter the weather. Plenty of indoor/outdoor games, as well as equipment for the beach and pool. So much to do, or space to just relax and do nothing. Kitchen was well stocked and worked out great for cooking daily. Great views and wild horses were nearby basically every day. ##### Steven N.

We had 5 adults and 4 children on vacation together for the week and there was PLENTY of room. The house was amazingly appointed. We have a chef in the family and he was thrilled. While the location is remote and we all drove 4x4s to get to the home...we planned ahead and did not have to leave once while we were there. The beach in the morning, the pool in the afternoon and drinks on the deck in the evening...heaven. ##### Georgeann C.

The owners didn't overlook any detail to make this a perfect place! Any want or any need was fulfilled with how the home was fully stocked with ammenities. Throughout the kitchen you will find every cooking essential all the way to oyster shucking knives. The weather was not very kind so we found ourselves indoors more than we wanted but we were kept occupied with games, books and small secluded nooks to take an afternoon nap. We are absolutely returning for round two next year! It is a wonderful home! ##### Bryan W.

It’s very well maintained and feels like a home and not a rental. The beds are very comfortable and the views are amazing. The only thing we didn’t like was the camera out back which made us feel uncomfortable. ##### Jennifer H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christy P.

Perfect serenity for our entire family, which included 4 (under the age of 4) grandchildren. The home is fully stocked with just about everything you need. The bedrooms & bathrooms are all spacious. Laura was great at answering all my questions & provided great tips for getting around. She was always quick in responding too. The drive on the beach, is a must do if you have never done that before. I have nothing but positive feedback for this gorgeous rental. Absolutely great for multi-families vacationing together. Laura provided very detailed information from arrival to departure & everything you need in between. Thank you for everything you did to ensure we had a fantastic family vacation. ##### Christy P.

While it is definitely secluded from town, we were there to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday as a family. We used everything the house had to offer for fun and relaxation and had the best week on the beach. There was even an entire area full of toys for my niece and nephews! ##### Chelsea N.

The location is fantastic, just a few short steps from the beach. The home was an instant favorite with everyone in my family. It is super comfortable--the furniture, the views, the decor, the diversions (gaming, etc.). Every bed in the house slept great. The kitchen was perfectly equipped and needs nothing. Every spot where you'd stand to see something outside had a pair of binoculars in reach! We saw wild horses in the yard daily, deer in the street, and even got to see a sea turtle during our stay. We had one minor hiccup getting the hottub operating, but mgmt was super helpful and responsive and got us on track swiftly. I've stayed in a ton of oceanfront homes and this one was probably the best! We'll be back!! ##### Dan S.

Reviewer Comments: Drive the sandy shore to a beautifully designed and opulent built home on the Northern Outer Banks. We opened the door to an interior that enhanced our beach experience with an esthetic interior decorated with inspiring art which must have been collected over years of travel. The house is totally functional with picture windows framing beach dunes and sea in the kitchen and bedrooms.

We had a group of 13 - 3 families ranging from 12 - 50 years old. There was something for everyone to do and keep busy. It was clean, spacious and the kitchen had so many helpful items, since we cooked every meal while there. The walk to the beach was wonderful too - very close.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are 6 couples who went on our first week long vacation together. Sands of Time was the perfect spot! From the exhilarating drive down the beach to get to the house to the wonderful walks up the beach spying dolphins and seeing wild horses at every turn, our stay was fantastic. There was plenty of room for us to congregate - the spacious living room, the fun game rooms (inside and out), the bonus tiki bar, the front sunset-watching deck - yet space to hang by yourself in your spacious bedroom, your choice of outdoor decks, or other small nooks in the house. Well appointed, beautifully decorated. Highly recommend. ##### Colette J.

Ocean was still a bit cold this time of year but the beach was beautiful and the wild horses visited our area daily. The house had a wonderful pool, tiki bar, and game room that kept adults and kids having a great time. The owner and manager were great and answered questions before and during the trip to help us enjoy our stay. ##### Sarah S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer J.

We had the unfortunate luck of being there during a storm that lasted our entire stay, but the house kept us entertained and the location made it more interesting as we watched the sea from the house. ##### Jennifer J.

Well stocked with almost everything you can think of. 4 wheel drive required to get to house but well worth it. We saw wild horses most days. Check the tide charts and plan accordingly and you’ll have a great time. ##### Christie H.
