The location of the house was spectacular. The only down fall for us as older adults were the step steps to access the house and bring up all our luggage.
The deck was awesome and the house other than the bedroom closets were spacious enough. Over all the house was great.- Sheila S Posted: 01/03/2020
The house is very comfy and homey, which I love. The location is wonderful, with the sound of the ocean lulling you to sleep at night.

We loved that the outdoor shower had hot water so that we could use that for a "real" shower and not just a beach rinse off. The house was cozy and had cute decor. We also loved the seats on the upper and lower decks.

“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.
