We love the location, just a short walk to the beach. We spend most of our evenings in the screen in porch and the down stairs “tiki area”. There is a large fenced in area for your 4 legged family members. ##### Lynn C. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori M.

The house is perfect for families and pets. Love the gate systems as well as the upper deck and screened porch ocean views. The owners are responsive and accommodating. Wonderful location and a great October vacation in OBX! ##### Lori M. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zachary M.

We had a great stay and the property was expected, close walk to the beach and everything is within 10 minutes. We had our dogs and the yard was great, except some prickers that got stuck on my dogs multiple times, I would recommend to have someone do a better job on the landscape to make it more dog friendly, hopefully they can get this fixed and then I would have no issues. Overall great pick and would book again if the yard is cleaned up a bit. Easy check in and very clean property. ##### Zachary M. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hilda D.

We love the screen porch, plenty of games and under the house great place to gather with the Tiki Tiki bar, darts, cornhole boards... The yard is fenced in for your pets, which is awesome!!. The owner is very responsive and kind. Our family loves this home and will be returning for our 4th year. ##### Hilda D. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily R.

The location was perfect, so close to beach and walkable ice cream and restaurant just down the street. All the things we needed were in the house, movies, books, games, beach gear, baby gear, dog gear, cooking supllies... - just remembered to bring linens and towels, paper towels, and extra TP! Its small but perfectly formed with enough seating in the living room for us all to gather and it has wonderful underhouse hang out space and porch space. Great beach cottage! ##### Emily R.

The pictures don’t do it justice. The outside tiki bar area, living room, screened in porch, and sizable yard are great areas to hang out with plenty to do. A short walk across the street puts you right on the beach. The owners were responsive and accommodating, ensuring we had everything that we needed. I would absolutely stay here again. ##### Ryan L.

The house was spotless upon arrival and featured thoughtful touches like local recommendations and tips that made settling in a breeze. The kitchen was well-equipped with dishes, utensils, and spices, and we appreciated the various sizes of dog crates and beach gear available. The layout, with two bedrooms and one bathroom on each side of the house, provided great privacy and comfort. The spacious backyard and tiki bar were perfect for our dogs and for relaxing mornings. The owners were proactive and responsive, ensuring a smooth check-in process. We’re already looking forward to renting again in 2025! ##### Jennifer C.

The owners are always surprising us with additional features and upgrades. The fence is awesome for your kids or pets. My favorite is the front porch and now the Tiki Tiki bar outside!! The pictures do not give this house justice. Counting the days for next year :) ##### Hilda D. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia B.

Right from the start Christine was helpful, quick to respond, and easy to communicate with. The house itself is perfect – cozy, clean, great layout for two families, and the location couldn’t be more convenient to the beach. We loved the multiple outdoor spaces and the fully stocked beach gear closet was super helpful: plenty of chairs, sand toys, coolers, boogie boards, and two carts to lug it all to the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook multiple dinners for eight, and the beds were all very comfortable. Our dog loved the fenced in backyard as well. I could go on! We loved Shifting Tides, and can’t wait to book again! ##### Julia B.
