Two families including adult children and grandchildren have stayed at Making Memories for the last 4 years. It’s a perfect spot for us as we go to the beach with 2 tents every day. Right at a cross walk which is nice for crossing the street. Beach is wide enough and it’s not overcrowded. Late afternoon we come back and enjoy the pool with the young grandchildren. Right behind the cottage there is a pond and the grandchildren love feeding the turtles. Great trail for walking and riding the bike.

This is the most comfortable, clean, well-furnished rental we have ever stayed in OBX. The kitchen was well-stocked and the home is spacious. The turtle pond behind the house was a lot of fun for the kids.

Making Memories created another chapter of memories for our family. There was plenty of space to move about; the rooms were spacious. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, pots, and pans. We enjoyed visiting the turtle santuary every day.

Fantastic location to the beach crosswalk. Well-maintained/recently updated property. Loved the glass covers on the tables for easy clean-up. Plenty of dishes and TVs in each room were nice. Wet bars on 2 levels were convenient. Very clean upon arrival. We'd definitely return to this house in the future.
