Very Nice Vacation House

The house is in a great location, easy to get to and a short walk to the beach. It was very clean, and we really enjoyed our stay. The hot tub was a nice bonus, and the kids enjoyed the picnic table and played in the sand under the house on a rainy day. No complaints, the owner was very good with communication.

Perfect location! Great home.

This house has all you need and more. So many amenities to keep you occupied, even on a rainy day. Location is perfect...and price is more then fair for what you get. A bright cheery up to date home. Hot tub was amazing. Plenty of room. Upstairs is great for kids or adults who want to have their own space. Will be booking again next time I come!! Owner communication was great as well. Overall couldnt ask for better!!

Super clean and convenient!! This was a lovely rental very close walk to the beach and right off the main road to all of the shops and restaurants. The home was cozy and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Mary was a wonderful host who took time out of her day to check in with us and give us a heads up about things happening.

We spent the week at Sandy Cheeks and it was amazing. About a 2 min walk to beach and close to all the local places to visit. While here we went to Equine Adventures and rode horses on the beach. It was a great week and the hosts were a delight to work with!!

The house was beautiful and comfortable and the perfect size for the 4 of us. The walk to the beach was so convenient and made it so easy to go back and forth. I already miss sitting on the deck with my morning coffee listening to the waves. We'd definitely stay here again.

We had a absolute wonderful beach vacation at Sandy Cheeks! Mary is a fantastic owner who keeps you up to date on everything and stays in constant contact regarding your booking. The house is very clean and has everything you need for a enjoyable stay! Just steps away from the beach and so close to all the shops and restaurants.

PERFECT!!!!

The house was perfect and as described! Our family of five fit very comfortably. The cleanliness of the home was exceptional and the little extras that we didn’t think of were there to make it a stress-free vacation! We didn’t use the upstairs, but we could have comfortably fit a few more family members up there! The property owners were very helpful and quick to respond if needed. As for the location, it’s a very quick walk to the beach and a central location to shops and restaurants. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better house and location! Hope to return soon!

The location of this place is ideal. The walk to the beach was manageable with our three kids under age 6. The size of the house was perfect and accommodating. Mary was great to work with and none of us got “blisters.” We will definitely be returning to this place!

The perfect beach house for our family

We had the best week staying at Sandy Cheeks. Not needing keys to come and go was immediately appreciated, the combination locks are such a good idea. The house was the perfect size for our young family of five. Our oldest kids loved sleeping in the loft and watching movies on the TV upstairs. The two outdoor showers were hugely helpful everyday, as were the beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, and most of all the beach buggy. Being so close to the beach was wonderful, we walked there for sunrise on several occasions. This was such a great trip for us we are looking forward to repeating one day.

Excellent

The house was very clean and comfortable, extremely well stocked, and helpfully labeled. Our family of 7 fit perfectly. Great communication from Mary. We had zero problems. I loved the outdoor showers and my husband loved the hot tub. Lots of places within walking distance. The area is not too crowded or 'touristy'. I took many long bike rides along the bayside multi-use trails. The beach was only a bit crowded mid-day. Morning and evening were quite peaceful. We loved watching the crabs at sunrise and flying kites in the evening. Perfect all around.

The Great Sandy Cheeks

We have been going to the beach for ten years or more, at least one time a year if not more. This is by far the best beach experience we have had. The walk to the beach is almost as close as when we have stayed actually on the beach, by the time we climb over the dunes, the distance is really not much different. It is a lovely beach too, and made great by all of the generous beach "toys" which made packing really easy. Mary is very organized and efficient in communicating about the property and things to do in the area. It was a great week!

Kitty Hawk Family Gem!

My husband and I stayed at Sandy Cheeks with our four young children (8,6,4,2) and made the most AMAZING memories. Upon arrival we were impressed with the cleanliness and open concept of the living portion of the house. The kitchen was stocked wonderfully as we cooked most meals. The occasional John’s visit was a must and is easily walkable! The convenience to the beach was perfect with kids. We had an afternoon storm every day but it perfectly coincided with a nap or hot tub time and again the walking distance was a breeze. The beach cart provided was insanely helpful along with the chairs and beach toys. The double outdoor shower was a pleasant surprise with a larger family. The loft was a great space to hang and watch tv when the kids went to bed. We are very excited to head back to Sandy Cheeks soon. Mary was easily accessible and helped with whatever we needed. Don’t miss out, book Sandy Cheeks soon!

Why they chose this property

We are centrally located at MP 4.5. We have a great open main floor with three bedrooms in which two share a Jack & Jill bathroom. The other full bath is located in the main hallway. We have a unique upstairs loft with plenty of room to spread out - it is the kids/teens hangout. Equipped with cable & Wi-Fi, there is a full-size fold down couch and a separate " loft bedroom" with door for privacy and daybed with 2 twins. We have some great books, magazines, puzzles, and games to keep your family busy. We have a Weber grill to cook your freshly caught fish and a HOT TUB to enjoy after a long day at the beach. An assortment of beach toys, Beach Buggy, chairs, umbrellas and accessories are available for you to use as well.

What makes this property unique

Kitty Hawk offers lots of things to do! While we love our beach location, we encourage you to take a day trip or two. If you head north, visit the towns of Corolla & Cordova to see the wild horses...or head south to the famous Hatteras Lighthouse...or any of the numerous state and national parks like Pea Island. Try a day of fishing at Avalon Fishing Pier or try hang gliding at Jockey's Ridge. For a great lunch, walk north on the beach road about 3 blocks to John's to try their famous Dolphin bites lunch and best milkshakes on the beach. For dinner, try either Black Pelican or Hurricane Mo's or Barefoot Bernie's across the highway. Just a few of the great places to enjoy close to Sandy Cheeks!
