797 - Cross Keys Cottage

Very nice home! The decor is very pleasing and the beds are among the most comfortable we have had in 34 years of vacationing at the Outer Banks. We loved the location of the pool being perpendicular rather than horizontal to the house. The convenience of the outside bathroom helped to avoid tracking pool water into the house, where the tile floor can get slippery. This property is a top contender in homes we would rent again.

Great home for large family vacation. We have been coming to OBX for 25 years and have just reserved our 3rd year in Cross-keys Cottage

Perfect location and beautiful view of the ocean.

Cross Keys Cottage has amazing views of the sunrise as well as the sunset. The home is just as it is shown on the web and it comes equipped with most of everything you need. If not just go buy and leave it for the next guest. It will be 3 years and booking for next year 2020. LOVE LOVE This home !!!!!!!!!!!!!

The home was beautiful, we loved it!!

Having the Dyson available helped us tremendously to keep the home clean from sand! I almost brought ours from home but was so happy when I saw that. Having a access to a cordless vacuum is wonderful! House was well stocked with plates, cooking items, etc. Lots of items around like gates, high chairs and pack and plays for families with young children is wonderful.

House is pretty amazing and well taken care of!

Wonderful home we have reserved for next year as well. Only thing we had to purchase was a sturdy manual can opener.

Cross Keys Cottage was lovely. Decor was super. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well equipped.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cross Keys. The kitchen was fully equipped and stocked. The layout of the home was perfect for my large family. Furnishings are as they appear in photos. The beach was great and not at all crowded. Everything was fabulous. We hope to come back again!

We all loved the house which is well-appointed, beautifully decorated and has a spectacular view. The owners' thoughtfulness is obvious (and appreciated) in small ways throughout the house. And, thanks for the koozies!

We loved the home, but the family perfered the main living space be on the 2nd home. It was very clean!

M.M. - stayed 08/06/16

The property is beautiful, well decorated and equipped. The size is perfect for a large family group  to spread out and have their own space when needed. Pool was really nice and got so much use. Excellent home.

Beautiful home! The kitchen was stocked very well and the outdoor bathroom made hanging out by the pool that much better. We loved every minute of our stay in your home.

The Cross Keys Cottage was wonderful. The owners have put a lot of heart and soul into the home! We had a wonderful time and loved the location and amenities. We will definitely look to rent this beautiful home in the future!

Beautiful house and the kitchen was so very well equipped, it felt like home.

Brandon M.- Stayed 05/23/15

House is fantastic. Spacious, well stocked kitchen, adequate electronics throughout the home. Great choice of 3rd story deck furniture (oceanside). Very solid/sturdy and comfortable glider and table/chairs. Kudos. Dual dishwashers in kitchen and ice maker are solid touches. Large, family style dining area also a plus. Chalkboard wall was a nice touch. Elevator was a savior for older folks, another bonus. Overall, enjoyable stay and very nice accommodations.

Everything was perfect, kitchen very well stocked with all utensils except a pizza cutter. Couldn't have been more satisfied.

Melissa L.- Stayed 08/23/14

The house was in perfect condition, very well stocked with everything from kitchen to pool supplies. We are looking forward to our trip next year. We did our advance reservation already for next year. It was the best house and vacation. I have traveled to OBX for 10 years now and this was the best place by far!! Have fun on your vacation at Cross Keys. Thank you!!!

Robert B. - Stayed 08/16/14

Cross Keys Cottage is a very nice, well equipped beach house. The owner was most helpful in addressing our issues and giving us instructions. We have made an advance reservation for August 2015.

They had the best stocked kitchen that we have ever stayed in. The cottage was beautiful! :)

We've rented on the Outer Banks for over twenty years and Joe Lamb, Jr. & Associates is definitely the most customer oriented and welcoming to guests, even texting vacationers when their rental is ready. I will continue to use Joe Lamb, Jr. & Associates for all my vacation rentals and will recommend JL to anyone who asks. Karen L.

Our wonderful vacation would not be possible without the great people at Joe Lamb we very much appreciate all the work that you all do for us. You made a middle-aged hard-working couple feel like kids again full of joy and happy memories. I cried all the way across the bridge when we left yesterday. Thank you so much again and please take care. Tracey T.

Everyone that I spoke with in your office on Saturday, Aug 29 was delightful. I sat there for two hours, and we sparked up conversations every chance that we got. Great group of girls. I really enjoyed talking to them. We had a wonderful stay! The property was perfect and so was working with Joe Lamb! Vickie B.

We can't wait to get back to the Outer Banks, (our second home and the place where we have made so many memories.) You can count on our entire family continuing the September tradition of Joe Lamb for many more years to come. And your concern and care is one of the reasons we keep coming back.- Ann F.

Just keep doing what you do! We tried another company once. Never again! Jay P.

The team at Joe Lamb are family friendly and are committed to providing a clean, comfortable, enjoyable stay for vacation. My wife and I highly recommend JL for vacations in the Outer Banks. Benjamin C. - stayed June 2016

Thank You Joe Lamb for your outstanding Customer Service ~! J.A. -

I just want to give you 5 stars on rental service in the Nags Head area. Hoping we are able to rent it again next year my daughter in law has her name in on the list:) Its been my 6th trip to Nags head in as many years and NEVER has there been any issues or anything unsatisfactory. Thanks for all you do to have made my experience with Joe Lamb Rentals 100% all the time! Marilyn W. 

While we come to the Outer Banks every year, if not more than once a year, this was our first time coming to the Outer Banks for Thanksgiving, and our first time using Joe Lamb. Joe Lamb was one of the best, most attentive companies that we've ever used. Everyone had such a great attitude, when it could have been easy to be stressed out around the holidays. The home was PERFECT for our group and for us to spend Thanksgiving in. It was actually beyond our expectations. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped. We will definitely be renting not only from Joe Lamb again, but likely this house!  Jade F. - stayed 11/19/16

 N.W. staying  August 2017 ..... I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to your management for being honest about the beach nourishment project. I distinctly remember learning about this project from your website in early summer of 2016. The project was clearly marked and not "hidden" under several sub-categories on your website. This gave me several months to research and determine whether we should reserve a home for the summer of 2017. We did, in fact, decide to continue with our plans and booked a house for this summer. I am very appreciative of how forward your company has been with the news of this project. I have observed that most (and possibly all other) OBX rental companies have not chosen to be honest until the news became widespread. I'm hopeful that we will have an uninterrupted vacation when we arrive, but even if we are a bit inconvenienced, I know that it won't change our view of your company. Thank you.

We have been vacationing in OBX since 1986 and have stayed in many houses through several different agencies. This was our best experience.  It was an absolutely wonderful week! -M.M. - stayed 5/14/17

I thank your company for suppling our family with a clean, wonderful, well located cottage for our vacation. We had one of the best times of our many OBX vacations. (Began as a child I am now 64) -  Ben W.

 I have been using Joe Lamb jr. for years, and cannot say enough good things about their office staff, maintenance crews, etc. Everyone is top notch. No matter what home we stay in, Joe Lamb Jr. always makes the experience a great one for our family  - Bob M. 

JLR staff exceeded our expectations with the booking of your property and even the woman who came to check the pool midweek was incredibly pleasant. Their keeping your guests happy! - Karla H. - stayed July 2017

The Joe Lamb employees are always respectful and helpful. I like dealing with this company. - Janice R. stayed 07/29/17 

We have taken annual family vacations to Nags Head for over 30 years. This was our first experience renting from Joe Lamb. We were so impressed with the professionalism and courtesy during every interaction we had with staff. They were so responsive and pleasant. We have already decided to use Joe Lamb for future rental homes. - Patricia W. - stayed 8/26/17

We just wanted to thank you for your help in having a great vacation in the Outer Banks. We rented Santopia (052) in Nags Head through your agency. The whole rental process -- reservation, check-in, check-out, linen rental, etc. -- was so easy. You guys are great at what you do! Thanks so much! - Michael N. - stayed 9/23/17

We have used many companies in the 20 yrs we have been coming to the outer banks and we like this company the best. - Kim K. stayed 2017

We have used Joe Lamb, Jr. exclusively and have always been extremely satisfied. This is a top notch organization and it shows in all areas.Victoria P. stayed 2019

If you're going to spend your good money at OBX, get a premium rental. Joe Lamb Jr. has rental a for every family size and budget. If a professional staff important to you, go Joe Lamb Jr. If having a variety of rentals is important to you, go Joe Lamb Jr. If you're renting at the OBX, GO JOE LAMB JR. !! - T. Kirkland - 09/10/19
