Norma’s house is clean and comfortable, perfect for a vacation in the OBX. Norma was extremely responsive to our needs & check-in was a breeze. There is a beach cart with chairs, an umbrella and boogie boards & the property is a short walk to the beach. We used the charcoal grill for dinner one night, too. Will definitely stay here for our next visit. ##### Susan H. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyle F.

So it made us rethink that day, and we only had a couple of days there all together. ##### Jeff W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Taylor P. Jul 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Property was in a great location and provided amenities and gear that were wonderful for our family. However, the property has an odor (very similar to moth balls) and damp rid hanging bags throughout the house. Also, the grass leading to the stairs was very high, and we were concerned about ticks. ##### Taylor P. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### PHILIP D.
