Best stay ever!!

This place was perfect for us and our two dogs. It was clean. A fenced in yard for the dogs to play. The marina was across the street. After a long day of fishing it was just a short walk to the house. The host was quick to answer questions and made us feel welcomed. I will definitely get this place when we come back.

Great Escape

My family went to the Shellter for spring break this year. What a great escape. The beaches were vacant, full of shells, and our dogs had a blast in the ocean. What a great house and great location. We loved all the special touches and character of the house. We'll definitely stay again!!

Great place

House was very nice. Was stocked well with all cooking ware. The upper deck was really nice with a great view. Outdoor shower is nice, could use a little more coverage in my opinion. Great little neighborhood with close beach access. Several of the beach acces were damaged and closed while we were there.

Great House

This place is wonderful. Great location! You are a short walk or golf cart ride to the beach, marina and shopping. House has everything you need. Communication with property owner was fast and easy. House is beautiful. The outside shower was a hit with my crew. We are looking forward to 2024 for our next stay. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay for our vacation.

Good time

We enjoyed our stay at the Shelter. Rain meant we couldn’t enjoy the upper deck but the house had everything we needed for evening of games we brought with us and great location for exploring all our favorites on the island and hopping the ferry one afternoon “chasing the sun” to Ocracoke. Thank you!

Great house, enjoyed relaxing stay

We had a very relaxing stay in this cool little house. The house is on one of the last streets before the ferry and 4x4 beach, so there’s minimal traffic and you can easily bike to the general store, restaurants, hardware store, and grocery store. You really feel the island vibe. The house is perfect for a small family. There’s plenty of room to chill after dinner and watch a movie. The owner has been kind enough to leave some items there to make your stay more convenient, like bikes and kayaks. We used the bikes quite often. The outdoor dart board was cool too. The owner was prompt returning communications, also. We would definitely stay again.

Great location

We loved the proximity to the local beaches and the quiet vibe of Hatteras Village in spring. The house was a good size for our family of six and we appreciated the beach gear and bikes! The house is older, a little worn/dated and short on hot water. Beds were comfortable and clean. The overall cleaning of the house was spotty though-- coffee left in the maker, crumbs in the couch. Nothing that was a deal breaker though. We enjoyed our stay!

Great house, great location!

We had 4 adults and my 3 yr old son. While my husband, dad and bil went fishing, my son and I walked to the beach, carrying tons of toys and a chair. Across the road was Teach's Lair Marina & Hatteras Sol Resturant and down a little further was Lee Robinson General Store. The house was all one level once you got up the stairs. Plenty of seating in the living room with two couches and plenty of chairs on the deck. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils. My only issue was the cleaning people which they might easily overlook small stuff with the amount of houses to clean. I’ve been in motels a lot worse.. We are planning on a visit next year at some point and would rent the house again.

Nice and clean house close to the beach

When we arrived the first impression was not so good. The exterior looks not very inviting in comparison with other houses in the neighborhood. Inside the house everything was really pretty and nice. Lovely details all over the house. Everything was clean and working properly. Minor things we would recommend to update for example the bathroom fixtures. This is with kids always a hassle to get the right temperature. You cannot let them go for shower alone. Also a dishwasher is clearly missing! Thanks for this nice days on Hatteras Island!

Great Location - Unfortunately it was not a good stay

Upon arrival of the house we walked in and were immediately hit in the face with a horrendous odor and there was NO electricity. I called the owner and she informed me that the power had been turned off over a week prior to prepare for a storm and the power had not been turned back on. The house smelled awful with a mix of moth balls, mold, and musty. Not to mentioned the house was over 80 degrees inside. We stopped at the grocery store on the way to the house and purchased groceries and had planed to put them in the fridge and freezer. But the fridge and freezer were not on, had mold in them (from having no power) and obviously the fridge and freezer were not cold. So we used our own Clorox wipes to clean the fridge and put what we could in our cooler until the next day when the the fridge was good to go. So we lost some of our groceries overnight and had to buy more. Very frustrating. There were bugs in the house. I had to kill two bugs upon arrival. One was a roach the other was just a fly or something similar. By Sunday (our last full day) the home started to smell normal again. Unfortunately we had very bad first impression of the house. It is the property owners responsibility to ensure the property is ready to receive guests. And in this instance the property was not ready. The location of the home is awesome, close enough to walk / bike to a few restaurants and shops. Very close to the beach access too. The top deck is awesome and has a great view.
