The home is absolutely gorgeous! It's obvious the homeowner takes great pride in homeownership evidence by the condition of the home. The home is spacious and updated. The backyard with the pool is one of the best we've ever experienced and the views are breathtaking!

This was the first house in over 6 years of renting in Outer Banks from a variety of property managers that we did not need to call maintenance. We rented this house previously and had elevator and pool heater issues. The elevator was clearly updated this year and the pool heat worked perfectly. We love that this house has a decent yard for littles and not a ton of stairs to the beach. The layout keeps it from feeling claustrophobic on rainy days and also helps when some want to find a quiet spot to nap.

The property is great for families. The heated pool is the star of the house. Ample refrigerator space. The ice makers are great as well as the numbers dishwashers. The view of the ocean is gorgeous from the upper deck. Game room was a hit with kids and adults alike.

Beautiful home that shows it is well kept. Our group had 14 adults and Four 16 year old girls. House is very well equipped. The heated pool is a huge bonus. Having no bedrooms on the 1st floor is great. Immediate access to the ocean. Terrific view from the 3rd floor.

I was apprehensive to try a new rental company because I’ve been coming to the OBX for 30 years and basically used the same company and/or AirBNB (based on size of group coming) but the house had everything we wanted and needed and I am so glad we went with Joe Lamb Jr and will absolutely use them going forward.

Such an amazing house. From the dune-top deck with an unobstructed view to the media room that was like our own movie theater, it was the perfect vacation home. The sounds of the waterfall from the infinity-edge pool was an amazing addition to the beautiful beach noises. The outdoor bathroom was a huge bonus (we thought it was just a shower but having a toilet with easy access while outside was amazing).
