Guaranteed Fun is in the perfect location for a truly enjoyable beach vacation. Without being oceanfront but directly across the street you are on the beach in literally a minute and the beach access is flat which makes it easy when carrying beach stuff.

Kristine Cox - Stayed: 6/1/2025

Great House! Very clean and well-maintained by the owners. Everything you need.
Short walk( across the street) to the beach.
We hope to be back soon.

Deborah Thomas - Stayed: 9/22/2024

I have rented guaranteed fun for ten years now. My family and I are very happy and plan to return for years to come. Best cottage in Kitty Hawk.

Jeff Ewell - Stayed: 7/7/2024

This was our first time at Guaranteed Fun and it certainly exceeded our expectations! The proximity to the beach was ideal, especially with kids! The house was well stocked with everything we could need! The house was spacious and we had plenty of room for the 10 who stayed.

Perfect! This property is well-maintained and is stocked with everything you could need for an enjoyable, worry-free vacation. The homeowner checked in with us to ensure we had everything we needed and let us know that we could reach out to them with any issues. The location is perfect with great views and quick access to the beach. I am looking forward to returning in the future!

Roy Lewis - Stayed: 5/26/2024

This is my family's 9th year staying at this fantastic beach house. We look forward to the memories made in this house every year! The pool is always a huge hit with the kids, and the beach walk is super convenient. We have a few more days left here but the count down to summer 2024 has already started!

Jeff E. - Stayed: 8/12/2023

Another great vacation week at Guaranteed Fun! Only steps to the beach, beautiful sunrise views from the deck, pool for the kids are just a few of the reasons we love staying at this property. It is perfect for multi families and feels like a home. Everything you need is provided with this property and the owner makes sure you enjoy your stay. Hopefully, we’ll be back next year!

Debbie R. - Stayed: 7/16/2023

This is a great vacation home with family and friends. Amazing house and an awesome view of the beach. House has everything you need. We stayed here 13 years ago and we loved it so much we had to come back to this place. The owner is very friendly and a great person. He called me to see if we had any problems and to make sure we have a great time. So if you are looking for a vacation house. This place is where you want to come and relax and make

Chris H. - Stayed: 6/4/2023

We have been staying in the outer banks for 30 years and this by far is one of our favorite homes. The location is amazing! You literally just walk across the street to the beach. The beach area was wide with plenty of beach area to spread out and the access was great. There is a hard mat you can walk on at the access which makes it easier to walk on and nice for someone with a handicap need. We loved the pool and hot tub. The house has plenty of room to spread out. We had 6 kids and 7 adults and never felt cramped. The views from the house were beautiful and made it feel like you were oceanfront. The owner sent us a $50 Food Lion gift card before we arrived. That was very thoughtful. We will definitely be back.

Kristin R. - Stayed: 9/4/2022

We have been coming to the OBX for many years, and this house just became our favorite! The proximity to the beach is amazing - it feels like an oceanfront property. The Beach access is great - no stairs, just flat sand with a car access mat. This came in handy because we needed to utilize a beach wheelchair and this made getting out to the beach very efficient! The house is well stocked - especially the kitchen! Lots of cookware and plenty of silverware and other items. The sunrises from the deck each morning were absolutely beautiful. The hot tub and pool were used daily - our family had a blast and we made some wonderful memories. The owners reached out to make sure everything was going well - that added touch shows you how much they care about this home and how much they want others to enjoy all it has to offer. We will definitely be returning!

Kelly H. - Stayed: 7/31/2022

This home was clean, well-decorated, and well-equipped! Our family enjoyed the picture-perfect ocean views! The pool and hot tub were used daily! Easy beach access directly across the street! We will be re-booking next year! The owner reached out personally to ensure we enjoyed our stay.

Jess B. - Stayed: 6/19/2022

My family has been renting this beach house every summer for the last seven years. We love the location and how close we are to the beach. My granddaughters love playing in the pool and having their own room with a bunk bed. This house has become more than just a place we come to every year, it’s become a second home. It doesn’t matter if you are 6 or 80 everyone in our family looks forward to our yearly stay at Guaranteed Fun!

Jeffrey E. - Stayed: 8/22/2021

We drive 15hr to get to the OBX and always get an Oceanfront home. We saw this home and that it had a pool which we had not had before. The reviews looked good so we decided to try it. What a Great Choice we made! It was like being oceanfront without the pricing of oceanfront. We were a family of 12 ranging in ages from 20-59 plus a 9-month-old. Plenty of room to not be on top of one another yet cozy. We were able to watch the dolphins from inside the house or on the deck. The walk to the beach was a breeze even with the baby. The house, pool, and hot tub were clean and well-maintained. The location is close to restaurants and shopping.

Jean B. - Stayed: 7/18/2021

We just left Kitty Hawk after a fantastic stay at Guaranteed Fun. The house is maintained well and clean. We found plenty of room for all of us and everything we needed in the kitchen. Having the gas grill was a huge plus for easy meals. The owner checked in, the pool was cleaned mid-week and garbage was picked up Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. The walk to the beach was easy with no stairs over the dunes and the kids had a blast going from the pool to the hot tub. Overall, there couldn't have been a better house for our large group.

Laura D. - Stayed: 6/20/2021

We had such a wonderful stay at this charming home. The owners obviously put a lot of love and work into this place. The kitty hawk location is pretty far up the beach, which means the beach is not crowded and the traffic is not as hectic as in Nags Head. Very easy walk across the street to the beach. Close to great classic OBX eateries like Black Pelican and Awful Arthur's. Thanks to the owner and his family for sharing his home.

Sarah T. - Stayed: 5/23/2021

My wife and I along with her family booked Guaranteed Fun for our first visit to the Outer Banks and this property is absolutely incredible. The home is amazing and the view from the top deck is stunning and gives you a sweeping view of the beach and ocean. Our family found the rooms very comfortable and the living room, kitchen, and large table were perfect for all gathering together. The game room was a great added bonus for our family along with the pool, grill, and hot tub. If you are looking for a beautiful home for your family, this is the perfect one. It was great to also receive a phone call from the homeowner making sure everything about our stay was going well. We are thankful to him and his family for providing such a beautiful home for families like ours to gather and make memories together. We would definitely stay here again!

Brett B. - Stayed: 5/16/2021

So wonderful to have another great vacation in a beautiful home! Now we just count down to next year.

Carrie K. - Stayed: 8/16/2020

My family comes down to the Outer Banks at least once a year if not more. We usually select a different place to stay each time. After staying at Guaranteed Fun, I would not hesitate to rent this house over and over! It had everything we needed: the kitchen was well stocked, the beds were very comfortable, there was a pool and hot tub, and the beach access was right across the street! The owner contacted us directly to make sure everything was good as well as check on things after a tropical storm move through the area. He really made us feel at home and comfortable! I cannot wait to come back again, and I am counting down the days.

Amy M. - Stayed: 8/2/2020

This was the third time we stayed at this house with my large family and we absolutely love it. The house is beautiful and well-equipped. It's a short walk to the beach which is so nice when you have small children. Definitely recommend this house for a great family vacation!

Dana B. - Stayed: 7/12/2020

My family of 15 stayed here for the week. A very nice family-oriented clean house with games and activities. We were contacted by the owner to insure everything was satisfactory and that we had everything we needed. We will definitely be coming back.

Scott B. - Stayed: 6/14/2020

My family and I (a total of 9 of us) stayed here for the week and I can't say enough GOOD things about this house. There were plenty of bedrooms (we even had some friends of ours come by for the night and stay) and it was still plenty of room and we weren't right on top of each other. The personal touches in this house are what did it for us- you can tell the owners went above and beyond and strive to make this house scream 'family time'. A mid-week call from the owner was a very pleasant surprise, ensuring we were having a good time and we had everything we need. The extra touches to ensure we were comfortable and felt safe were so nice! It was nice to get away from Richmond and spend time at the beach during this pandemic. Thank you for a relaxing and wonderful week- we will most definitely come back!!!

Kristy K. - Stayed: 6/7/2020

This was our second year in a row renting Guaranteed Fun. We arrived on a sunny Saturday, but the weather quickly turned gloomy when a tropical storm rolled in. Despite the rain, we still enjoyed our time at the house. The hot tub is clean and well maintained, as is the pool. The kitchen is stocked with all of the tools that you need to prepare meals. There are a few great restaurants nearby as well. The owners are very nice and checked in with us when the tropical storm began to roll, which we appreciated. There were games and videos to occupy us while in the house. We will definitely back to stay at this wonderful, family-oriented beach home!

Kelly G. - Stayed: 5/24/2020

Great location for restaurants, clean, nonsmoking, and well maintained. The pool, hot tub, kitchen, baths, and living areas are all in excellent shape. Nice game room with pool table. Easily accessible to the beach for handicap individuals. Would recommend it highly.

Chuck L. - Stayed: 8/25/2019

This is our fifth year staying at Guaranteed Fun and we absolutely love it. Great balconies and views and a swimming pool that the kids enjoy. Just steps from the beach make it a convenient and perfect place. Within walking distance of bars and restaurants. This is my favorite vacation spot by far! We hope to enjoy this vacation home for many years to come!!

Kelly W. - Stayed: 8/11/2019

Had an awesome week at this home. The location is perfect. Your steps from the beach as well as some of the best bars and restaurants in Kitty Hawk. Arts and RunDown Cafe are musts. The Food Lion gift card was a great touch as well. You won't be disappointed.

Chris S. - Stayed: 7/28/2019

This house is perfect for everyone in the family. Beach lovers are super close and can head down to the beach no matter who wants to follow, and those less fond can stay at home by the pool. Perfect for bringing the whole family together. This is our favorite house on the Outer Banks and we have come back every year since we first stayed!

Abby D. - Stayed: 8/5/2018

Our family has returned to this same house for the past 5 years and it never disappoints! A stone's throw away from the beach (literally!) and a wonderful, just-right-sized pool in the back make this getaway a homerun! We spent the week playing bag toss and kayaking on the beach then heading back to the house for lunch and some leisurely time by the pool. Inside, the number of bedrooms and layout of the home allows everyone in your party plenty of room to gather together for fun & laughter or sneak away for a nap or quiet reading time on one of the many decks! The pool table adds another element of entertainment for both the kids and adults alike. We are already looking forward to next year's visit!

Kerry D. - Stayed: 7/29/2018

This is our 5th year at Guaranteed Fun with our family of 13. From the Convenience of being right across the street from the beach to all the amenities at the house, we only have praise for Mr Barr the owner who always calls to ensure that everything is going smoothly with no problems. We have So many beautiful memories with our kids and grandkids and look forward to making more memories next year.

Dena D. - Stayed: 7/22/2018

The best home we've ever rented on the Outer Banks. As they say, Location, Location, Location. The home is fantastic. We have rented this home for five summer rentals and we plan to be renting it for the next ten years. My grandkids believe in tradition. So do I.

Larry D. - Stayed: 7/15/2018

This house has been our family tradition for years and is always well-kept and updated. Perfect location and everything you need for the perfect vacation

Mark D. - Stayed: 7/7/2018

12 of our 3 generation family from the East and West coast had a delightful stay at this spacious, no-detail-omitted, tastefully furnished charming home. The owners have taken great pains to present a welcoming and refreshing atmosphere. Plenty of space in every room. Of the past 15 years of tediously securing rentals for our family, my search has ended with this pearl. We have never returned to any former rental, but will definitely come back here.

Molly M. - Stayed: 6/24/2018

Perfect Family Vacation House! We have been coming to this house for the past three years and find it perfect for our family of 14. It is tastefully furnished and has a fully equipped kitchen and is just steps from the ocean with an incredible view. After spending the day on the beach, our family enjoys the pool and hot tub. We have never had any issues that were not taken care of immediately. All in all, it truly is a perfect family vacation home.

Joseph D. - Stayed: 6/17/2018

Great house for a large family or multiple families. House was well equipped for kids as well. The owners were extremely helpful and courteous! Excellent beach access and location. Overall a very nice beach house and would recommend it.
