Fantastic Super House and Super Host

Daena is a super host! From the initial reservation request until checkout she graciously assisted as needed. The house quickly became a home. The ocean views are sensational. It was a two minute walk to a wide stretch of white sand beach. The master bedroom bed was more than comfortable! A mark of a great rental. If you like to cook, the kitchen is very well equipped and maintained. We visited with friends staying in Southern Shores and I easily prepared dinner for twenty without missing or needing any pots, pans, or utensils. The two bathrooms are spacious and spotless. The decks and screened in porches have great ocean views and are perfect for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. As you can tell, we found the home, location and all the amenities ideal. We will be back!!

Perfect location and accommodations for our family getaway.

Our trip started with a very bad aura. I reserved another VRBO location and unfortunately, wasn’t able to reach the host to occupy the property. I then proceeded to call Vrbo to assist in my dilemma. Vrbo put my family up at the Hilton for the night as well as found this location, which ended up being a huge blessing for our family. After first day of confusion and mess ups, the rest of the trip was fantastic. This location is a 2 minute walk from the beach and the home has all the beach equipment you need chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys. The house is a perfect size for a family of 5 to 7 people. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who’s looking to get away at a very good price and very close to the beach..

Quick weekend get away

We decided at the last minute to book a trip to the OBX. This property online had all that we felt like we would need for a quick vacation. When we arrived we were very pleased to find the online information was correct! We had a great time. Easy check in, close to the beach and very cozy. The house made us feel right at home without having to bring everything from our home. I will definitely stay there again.

Wonderful Getaway

Blarney Beach Bungalow was just as described & more. It was clean, attractive & comfortable- supplied with everything we could need. The location was great; central to shops, restaurants & near the beach. Easy drive to Wright Brothers museum & monument, Bodie Lighthouse, Roanoke, & Nags Head pier. The outdoor shower is a major convenience to wash off sand after the beach & the laundry too. Daena was a great host- helpful texts & quick response to questions. Checkin & checkout were easy. This was the perfect getaway for our family of four adults & three kids.

Best location-even comes with a view

We had a great time and would definately come back.We wanted to show our friends from London an American beach and to decompress after a family wedding. It was less than a block to beach access and we could also sit at the property and just look at the ocean. The property was very clean and the kitchen well stocked with dishes and utensils. There was plenty of places to sit inside and out to see the view. There are alot of restaurants nearby along with the Wright Memorial and Jockey Ridge State Park. It was a wonderful visit

Perfect family beach house

Everything was perfect for our family. The house was clean, and the proximity to the beach was ideal with kids needing to take multiple trips back and forth all day. The outdoor shower and clothes line were very utilized! Daena was super helpful with everything, even letting us know there was a high surf warning and giving us some alternative ideas for the day. The kitchen was well stocked, and the house is super comfortable. The decks are great for star gazing and just relaxing in the breeze and listening to the ocean. We couldn’t be happier with our stay!

Phenomenal vacation home!!

We LOVED this house! Spotless, gorgeous view, has everything a family needs for a beach vacay! We flew in, so couldn’t pack a ton. It has chairs, toys, umbrellas, and a cooler! The outdoor shower and the clothes lines were more important to happy clean kids than I thought. We had one minor issue and it was fixed in 2 hours. We will stay here again happily!!

A great spot!

My wife and I stayed here with our 8 month old and a couple of friends visiting us for 4 nights. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay. With 4 adults and a baby, we could comfortably have fit another person or two. Overall i’d say the beach house is accurate to the listing. It was comfortable to hang out in, nice and close to the beach by foot, and central for restaurants and such as well. Would recommend!

Best family vacation EVER!

This was our family's first trip to the Outer Banks and we were thoroughly delighted with the area, the beaches, and the accommodations of this beautiful home. It was me, my husband, our two daughters, our son-in-law, and our one-year-old grandson. It was so helpful to have the pack n play, high chair, and a baby gate available at the house. We spent a LOT of time on the deck looking out on the ocean and viewing gorgeous sunrises! The kitchen is new and was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils and some cooking staples. The bedrooms were comfortable and perfect for our family of 6. Communication with the owner was easy. She was very responsive and her expectations for check-in and check-out were clear and helpful. While there, we checked out the Wright Brothers National Park, Corolla Beach (wild horse tours), Roanoke Island, and Jockey's Ridge State Park. All fun but the best, of course, was the short walk (about 2 blocks) to the beach. We were so thankful for the beach umbrella, chairs, and sand toys made available to us at the house. Thank you! For fun places to eat and drink, we suggest Trio, Hurricane Mo's, Bernie's Barefoot Grille, Shipwrecks, and OBX Brewery. For lunch, please check out Spanky's (the funnel fries are amazing) and for breakfast, go to Stack 'em High. A cute coffee shop is Ashley's Espresso Parlour. We will be reliving these memories for a long time to come. Thank you!

Wonderful beach week

We loved the house and location! Everything was just as described and the owner was very communicative. We enjoyed the very short walk to the beach every day and appreciated the beach gear provided . We also enjoyed taking little day trips south to Manteo and the NC aquarium and north to Duck and Corolla, all very reasonable drives from this centrally located but still quiet home. We also enjoyed cooking dinner at home a few evenings. We would absolutely come back next year and hope it will be available!

Great location/Great house

Great location, about a minute walk to the beach right off the beach road. View of the beach road and ocean from the house decks. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed including basic spices and cooking oil. Plenty of towels provided. We brought our own sheets and blankets but it wasn't necessary as they had fresh laundered sheets in plastic ready to be put on the beds. Hosts were incredibly fast to respond to texts and were accommodating for early check in. Outdoor shower great for that initial "sandy" shower coming in from the beach and also a water hose handy for washing sand off of sandy feet before going into the house. Utility room next to outdoor shower at base level houses the washer/dryer but also has lots of things that could come in handy like a charcoal grill, ice chest, wake boards, sand toys, beach chairs, beach umbrella, etc. Our trip this year was plagued with 60 degree days, constant blowing mist and white cap waves so we didn’t get to take advantage of any of these items but maybe next time! We are long time Outer Banks visitors but first time renting this house - would definitely rent this house again. Would recommend going to eat at some of our favorites on the beach road including The Jolly Roger (Italian) and Art's Place (burgers and wings) which are both within a couple minutes of this house. Great rental, perfect for families with kids or adult groups! Not handicap/elderly friendly as it is the typical beach road layout with lots of stairs.

Short stay because of Ian

We checked in later Wednesday (owner Kindly gave us option of early check in, but we shopped and dined before checking in). Due to the hurricane we decided to Leave Thursday morning, so our stay was short due to weather. Overall house was nice just wish we could of enjoyed the decks but the wind had other plans. Also, lost our money and wouldn’t recommend travel insurance at all.

About the host

Hosted by Daena

Host profile image
We have owned this house since 1997. Our family takes pride in providing an affordable, updated space for you to visit. We self-manage our home, which means we constantly look for ways to improve your experience.

Why they chose this property

Our kids love the beach and love being able to bring their friends. Our property is a one minute walk to the beach access on White Street. It is located in the heart of everything that the Outer Banks is known for!

What makes this property unique

Unencumbered ocean views from the main living level allow you to sit in the living room, dining room, screened porch, or deck to drink your morning coffee, relax after a day at the beach, or just relax in general. Kitty Hawk is centrally located for easy travel to the northern beaches of Corolla and Duck, the southern beaches of Nags Head, Hatteras, and Ocracoke, or the quaint town of Manteo. The house is the 3rd house back from the ocean, so it is a short, 1-minute walk to the sand. Pack your lunch to take to the beach with you, or go for a morning and come back for lunch. Many outdoor water, nature, and historical places to go make the Outer Banks a prime family destination. Check out specials on Groupon for a last-minute jet ski rental or kayak rental. Dining on the Outer Banks is truly spectacular. With something to fit all taste buds, travelers can find seafood, steak, vegan, Sicilian, Mexican, American, sushi, and many other tastes to fit their epicurean delights. The beach is uncrowded and great for making wonderful memories with family and friends.
