27 years of renting different ocean front houses from Duck to South Nags Head. This is the very best one. Everything worked, was clean, comfy beds, big tv’s in every room, hot tub, gazebo, spacious living room, an ice machine that cranked out ice. Couldn’t get any better with the nice covered porch for viewing sunsets and walkway on the beach side. No bugs of any kind. Would definitely like to rent this place again one day…

Nice, cozy three bedroom cottage on the beach that worked well for our family of 5 plus grandparents. Short walk from the back porch down the ramp to the beach. We enjoyed our stay!

The location is the best feature of this cottage, both roadside and beach side.

The key strengths of this beach house were the spacious rooms, the comfortable beds, the large screen TV, the beautiful and practical boardwalk from the house to the beach, and the fact that the back porch provided a great place to sit and read when the wind was too strong coming off the beach.

What a wonderful experience with Joe Lamb realty as a management company. We have spent many years at another property and grew weary of the dirty mess! We switched this year to JLA and we couldn’t be more happy.
