Sep 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 30th birthday I booked the house for my friend’s 30th birthday and we had a blast! The location was ideal, the property was clean. I loved that each bathroom was a good size and not cramped and the fact that the water got hot almost instantly when taking a shower and wasn’t impacted if we all took showers at the same time. The views were awesome. Definitely nice to wake up and see a beautiful sunrise from our decks. ##### McKenna S. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven S.

Sep 2, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness Two main issues, EXTREMELY moldy washing machine, very gross. THE DECK is a splinter nightmare and very wobbly in places. Be careful. Otherwise, we enjoyed our time. Be aware that it is very difficult to walk to the beach due to man made dunes post-Erin and sandbags which are slippery and very large. Due to this, we will not be returning to this section of Buxton. ##### Samuel S.

Dec 28, 2020 #### Lovely house but disappointing service Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house and location were lovely. The office was closed for the week due to holidays but we did not have sheets for one of the beds making it unusable. We reached out to the phone number and email the office shared with us but no one contacted us. We tried 4-5 times hoping we could get a set of sheets and use the bed and be comfortable. There was also a tornado warning and severe weather one day but no one checked on us. I work in hospitality and we never shut down - never to customers. Someone is also there to ensure the guests are safe and comfortable. ##### Ummara M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly W. Nov 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean and Close to Everything This house was very clean. It's a lot closer to the ocean than described which was a pleasant surprise. All but one bedroom had a private bathroom - another perk. Close to Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, restaurants, bait shops and both grocery stores (FL and Conners). Only downfall was the lack of kitchen essentials - only 2 silicone potholders and low quality pots/pans. We made the best of it and came prepared after reading other reviews. Again, it was very clean which is a sticking point for me. ##### Kelly W.

Reviewer Comments: Our Family always has a great time with our rental at Lighthouse View. We are always surprised to see the changes that have been made when we return each year. We were a little upset with our reservations for next year but we can't do anything about that, things happen. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Constance G. Apr 21, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Perfect Location We were in Buxton in Mid April, the weather was beautiful and the area is quiet then and less commercial than the northern part of the island. We enjoyed nice long walks near the lighthouse and the ferry ride to Ocracoke Island. The house was clean and the management addressed any concerns quickly. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. ##### Constance G.

Apr 5, 2021 #### Spring Break 202- Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect for a group with kids. Good location - although we expected their to be a beach out front and it was all sandbagged - it would have been nice to know that up front but there are lots of great beaches within driving distance. The kitchen could have been stoked with some additional equipment (we had to go out and buy a spatula) but overall we really enjoyed it and would stay there again. ##### Ellie K.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 4 adults 3 teenagers and one adolescent. We all fit quite comfortably in this spacious vacation home in Buxton NC OBX. The accommodations were clean and comfortable with plenty of dining table surface and seating. Whether eating or relaxing watching TV. Just steps from the beach which also provided plenty of family space. Parking underneath to keep vehicles and fishing gear out of the sun and elements. Two decks to lounge on with a nice view of the beach. ##### Jennifer D.

Reviewer Comments: Every year, for the past eight years, our family heads to Shell Castle to celebrate my birthday. Being a surfer this is one of my favorite spots. Shell Castle is well equipped and we love the big living/dining/kitchen area and big deck to sit out and watch the sunrise, ocean and stars. Thank you for another memorable birthday! ##### Debbi H. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Isle Be Back- Ocean Isle Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Sunset-Beach-Hotels-Isle-Be-Back-OCEANFRONT-Home-In-Highly-Desirable-West-End-Gated-Community.h92853110.Hotel-Information) > - [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Winston-Salem Hanes Mall](https://www.expedia.ca/Winston-Salem-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Winston-Salem-Hanes-Mall.h118463.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury Atlantic Beach Retreat-2 Masters-Pool-Steps to Ocean-Restaurants & Bars](https://www.expedia.ca/Morehead-City-Hotels-107-W-Bogue-Blvd-Unit-3-Sleeps-6-2-Br-3-Levels-Overlooking-Pool-Walk-To-Beach.h69778019.Hotel-Information) > - [Davy Jones' Loft, Treehouse, and Treasure Hunt!](https://www.expedia.ca/Wilmington-Hotels-Davy-Jones-Loft.h113241664.Hotel-Information) > - [Crab Shack - Ocracoke Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Ocracoke-Hotels-Crab-Shack-Ocracoke-Island.h70002481.Hotel-Information) > - [Hunter House Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Reidsville-Hotels-Hunter-House-Bed-And-Breakfast.h16104080.Hotel-Information) > - [Sonesta Select Hotels Statesville](https://www.expedia.ca/Hickory-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Statesville.h28056.Hotel-Information) > - [Blue Ridge Mountain Escape Near Skiing](https://www.expedia.ca/Blowing-Rock-Hotels-Blue-Ridge-Mountain-Escape-Near-Skiing.h23031628.Hotel-Information) > - [Camp Cotter at Blue Ridge Mountain](https://www.expedia.ca/Lenoir-Hotels-Camp-Cotter-At-Blue-Ridge-Mountain.h106156287.Hotel-Information) > - [Dolphin Dreams](https://www.expedia.ca/Morehead-City-Hotels-Dolphin-Dreams.h47044983.Hotel-Information) > - [Experience Tranquility at Trinity Lodge, your Mountain Oasis in Leatherwood](https://www.expedia.ca/Ferguson-Hotels-Experience-Tranquility-At-Trinity-Lodge.h100784138.Hotel-Information) > - [2-bedroom condo in lovely Winston-Salem's Country Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Winston-Salem-Hotels-2-Bedroom-Condo-In-Lovely-Winston-Salem-With-AC.h108293501.Hotel-Information) > - [Pet-Friendly,Cedar Cabin, Spa Tub, WiFi,Fireplace](https://www.expedia.ca/Ferguson-Hotels-Pet-Friendly.h54025602.Hotel-Information) > - [Duplex on the island of Sunset Beach!
