A Relaxing Stay with Minor Hiccups We just returned from a wonderful week at this charming vacation rental in the serene, tucked-away corner of the Outer Banks (OBX). As a family of 6, all over 55, we were looking for a peaceful spot to unwind, and this home delivered beautifully on that front. Nestled in a very quiet neighborhood, it felt like our own private slice of paradise – far from the crowds, yet just a short stroll to the beach. Waking up to those breathtaking, picturesque sunrises over the ocean was an absolute highlight; the views from the deck were postcard-perfect and made every morning feel special. The house itself was spot-on for our needs, with all the essential amenities thoughtfully provided – comfortable beds, a well-stocked kitchen, and cozy living spaces that invited lazy afternoons with books and board games. Being so close to the ocean meant we could pop down for a morning walk or evening shelling without any hassle, which was a huge plus for our group. That said, a couple of small issues popped up that could use some attention. The Roku TVs were a bit tricky to navigate at first – we're all creatures of habit from years of cable TV, so the streaming setup took some trial and error (maybe a quick cheat sheet or remote labels would help future guests like us?). Also, the propane tanks for the gas grill and fireplace arrived empty, but kudos to the management team at Joe Lamb – one quick call, and it was topped off the very next day. No big disruption there. One frustration was the trash service; it wasn't collected from the previous renters by the promised date, and the receptacles were never brought to or from the house during our stay as outlined by the contractor. We ended up handling the curb runs ourselves to keep things tidy, but it felt like an extra chore we shouldn't have needed to manage. Overall, this home gets a solid 4 out of 5 stars from us – the location and tranquility more than made up for the minor logistics. We'd happily return for those magical OBX sunrises and recommend it to anyone seeking a low-key beach escape. Thanks for the memories!

The location of this house is excellent. Views of the sunrise and sunset are available. The house layout is great. The main level provides open access and allows easy conversation, dining, and views of the ocean.

We’ve stayed at this house several times and absolutely love it. The fully stocked kitchen makes it easy to cook and feel at home, and the ocean views are just stunning. You can’t beat the direct beach access—it’s perfect for morning walks or sunset watching. Booking through Joe Lamb is always a smooth experience; they’re responsive, professional, and easy to work with. We’re already looking forward to our next stay!
Libby Schreiner - Stayed: 5/3/2025

It is a wonderful property. We have stayed here three years and counting. It feels like home away from home.

This was our first time in all of our years of coming to OBX that we did not stay on Hatteras Island. I am so happy we chose farther North! The house was immaculate
Vicki Tims - Stayed: 9/28/2024

The location is outstanding. So close to beach and especially loved the private walkway. Beautiful views of both ocean and soundside. Cranberry Cottage far exceeded my expectations! Absolutely wonderful stay. Have been coming for years and this is my favorite house!
Suzanne Heath - Stayed: 8/24/2024

We love the cottage. The bed and bathroom situations are perfect. And the beach is lovely with only a few people on the beach.
