The house was immaculate and had space for us to spread out. The kitchen was family open allowing for us to cook together. We had a lovely Thanksgiving at your home. Watching the ocean from the top balcony made me want to live down here. Thank you. ##### Sharon B. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian H. Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful fall obx vacation We love going to the beach in the fall, less crowded and the weather is still nice. Change In Latitude was the perfect place to stay, as it was located on the beach in a peaceful, quiet section of the obx but not far from restaurants and shopes. The house is clean, stocked with all the amenities you need, and is pet friendly, which is a plus bc we like to bring our dog along when we travel. We watched the beautiful sunrise every morning from the upper lookout deck, had the beach mainly to ourselves during the day, while I enjoyed surf fishing and my wife relaxed and the hottub was a nice way to warm up and unwind for the night. We highly recommend staying here. We will definitely be coming back! ##### Brian H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy W. Jul 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Week We spent the week leading up to July 4 at Change in Latitude. We loved the cleanliness of the space. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cutlery, etc. The air conditioning was awesome, and greatly appreciated. The Crows Nest was enjoyed for sunrises and sunsets. Check out instructions were clear, and very easy to follow. Our nine year old English Bulldog was very comfortable in the space-although getting up and down the stairs was not his favorite activity. Host was very responsive and helped us troubleshoot an issue accessing the laundry room quickly and easily. Beachfront was very nice, and surprisingly not very crowded. The only issues we had were the bathroom with the shower stall is pretty tight-especially for taller people. Also, the home is oceanfront, but, the walk over the dunes to the beach and back is not easy-especially for younger/older guests, or anyone with mobility issues. Also, the sand gets really hot during the day, so beach shoes would be a good idea for heading back and forth. Overall, we had a great week, and really loved Change in Latitude. ##### Jeremy W. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Patricia V. May 10, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Deep Sea Fishing Trip The inside was very clean and stocked with everything we could need. My issue was outside the house; sand had accumulated and blown in (under the house) so walking through that to get to washer and dryer you walked through the sand. Beach chairs were in a cart but covered with sand, not well stored. Around the exterior had not been cut or trimmed. Additionally directions on how to get to the house could have been better as well as the lock. It didnt display numbers until you touched the panel. Nice house and host was prompt in responding to email questions regarding getting inside. ##### Patricia V.
