643 - The Tropics

This is a comfortable home with a terrific pool perfectly located near restaurants, beach access and shopping in a surprisingly quiet spot.

This house is just amazing, the online pictures does not do this house justice. It is even better in person, it had plenty of room plus some. The beach access is a short walk but there are steps at each end which made it harder to carry somethings, which we adjusted what we took to the beach the rest of the trip. The pool was nice and refreshing after walking back from beach or just hanging out when taking a break from the beach with our toddler. We will definitely be back to The Tropics!

The Tropics is a beautiful, clean home in a PERFECT location! The pool is on the larger side for a beach rental and provided a refreshing escape after a day on the beach. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a beach house within a very short walking distance to public access!

Excellent location. Very nice layout of house. Always clean. Have rented this house every year for the past 5 years.

Home includes all amenities. Lovely decor. Close to the beach and restaurants. Very comfortable and homey!

Thank you for including all amenities. Decor is lovely and makes you feel right at home. We've rented this house several times and will return.

Nicely stocked for cooking and pool use. 

The bright beach colors picked for this home was very nice. The home/property was very well maintained and was clean. It was one of the cleanest homes I have stayed in the OBX in the past 15 years. The amenities were newer and exactly what we needed all week.

Very nice, clean home. Had everything we needed. The gifts were a very nice touch that made us feel welcome. We were more pleased with this home and realty office than any other in all the years we have visited the OBX.

Return renter of the tropics. Owners always take into consideration any suggestions we have. Well maintained and clean. Always have a great time staying at The Tropics.

This is our third year renting this house and we will continue to rent this one. We really like the layout of this house and it's in a very convenient location, easy beach access and walking distance to many restaurants/bars (our favorite is Bonzer Shack!) The gift left for us each year by Joe Lamb and one by the homeowners is a very nice touch.

This was our 3rd year renting this house for a week in September. Last year we suggested the tv's be upgraded....arrived this year and they were! Always arrive to a clean home, pool and hot tub, and a nice welcoming gift. We love this house and location and will be back again next year.

We have stayed at the outer banks dozens of times. We have stayed with Joe Lamb four times & this is by far the best place we've ever stayed. The house was very clean. The bright colors were wonderful. Location is perfect, close to everything. We even walked to dinner a couple of times. The Tropics is definitely a crowd pleaser!!

Extremely clean. Location is great - easy walk to beach and restaurants/bars. Well furnished and maintained. 2nd year renting this property and plan on returning in 2016.

Pamela F.- Stayed 08/22/15

The Tropics is a lovely and comfortable home. The floor plan is the best we have seen and the pool was a perfect size for our family of seven. It is a short walk to a beach access. The house is conveniently located to local restaurants and shopping. When we get our family together for another beach vacation we will definitely try to rent this house again.

Its a good location with just a short walk to beach, the views from the top floor are outstanding, the home has a very \beachy\" feel and there are many places within a short walk like CVS

Very welcoming and relaxing home!

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
