Beach House Vacay

Check in was seamless. House was as described. Owner was responsive to a couple of items and took care of concerns quickly without impacting our enjoyment of the property. Pool area was great and cleaned during our stay. Highly recommend. A little far from the beach but the bikes were a nice feature. Overall, great place!

Great house!

This house was absolutely perfect for our family of 13! It was clean, spacious, had a very clean well-stocked kitchen, and the pool area was amazing! The walk to the beach was a little on the long side, but totally worth it. The host was easy to reach and very responsive to our needs. We would definitely stay here again!

The Lucky Viking Stay

We had an amazing stay at this OBX property! Our group of 10, ranging from kids to teens to adults, had more than enough space to relax and enjoy. The pool and tiki bar were absolute highlights—perfect for soaking up the sun and hanging out together. Amy was a fabulous host. She was incredibly responsive, helpful, and so pleasant to communicate with. Booking and coordinating with her was seamless from start to finish. Highly recommend this home for any family or multi-generational group looking for a fun and comfortable OBX getaway!

Amazing Home!

The Lucky Viking was a wonderful choice on the Outer Banks for our group of friends to get together. A short walk to the beach, close to shops and restaurants. The home is amazing with a pool, outdoor bar, hot tube and almost every amenity you could ask for. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every minute of our visit. Amy was a wonderful host and responded timely to every inquiry.

Golden Views

We loved our stay at the lucky viking, between the overall amenities provided and the proximity to the beach there was so much to do. Corolla was lovely and we will definitely be returning. The cleaning service could have done a better job cleaning under the beds and cleaning the dead bugs from the window sills, but other then that the property was very clean. Overall a great time had by all.

Family & Friends Summer Trip

Our stay at The Lucky Viking was amazing. The house is spacious and great for large groups. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. The pool area was fabulous with the outside bar and the kids really enjoyed having the pirate ship in the backyard. The walk to the beach was a little long for toddlers, but it is very simple with a beautiful walking path not far from the home. Amy, the host, was great to communicate with and always replied quickly.

All the Ingredients for a Relaxing and Fun Vacation

House was spacious and well laid out. Beds were comfortable. Lots of great porch furniture in all the right places for catching the relaxing ocean breezes, reading and conversation. Owner was extremely easy to deal with and very responsive. Rules were not cumbersome. Walk to the beach took about 10 minutes - my 14 year old dog had no trouble with it!

Great Family Get Away!

A lovely, spacious and up to date home! Large enough to afford each guest their own bedroom/bath and the upstairs area was perfect for game playing and conversation. Kitchen offered all amenities for food preparation and dining area was perfect for family meals. There were two wheelchair/walker family members that used the elevator to access each level.

Thanksgiving holiday

Loved the layout of the house. Plenty of room for all. The outdoor space was well used despite the weather. The kitchen was over stocked with pots pans and utensils . There was no space to store food.We didn't realize how far away the house was from the Nags Head area where we had planned most of our activities. Being with family was what was really important. The negatives are a non working TV in first floor bedroom, Bunkbeds meant only for small children, dirty plates and pans in the kitchen, no cleaning supplies, such as glass cleaner, dust brush to pick up dirt and sand, unstable stair treads going to upper most deck and moldy outdoor mats.
