Better Surf or Sorryhas a beautiful location, with a very private feel to it due to the large pond off of the back of the house. We loved watching the water fowl and sunrises and sunsets out there. There were a lot of rip tides during our beach week, so it was very helpful to have the pool for our children to play in. We will definitely seriously consider returning! Our daughter has already asked if we can come back next time!

The house was in such a great location. Even though there were many houses nearby, it felt quiet, and private. The best thing about the place is the beach access, as it is about a two blocks away. The pool was great, and the house itself was ok. There was a high chair with old food left on it, and some of the outdoor furniture was rotted and missing legs. Other than that, I'd suggest to read the full listing before booking. Check-in isn't until "between 4 and 6" and they will try to sell you an early check-in for $150 after booking. They also don't provide much at all in the way of supplies (BYO toilet paper?), or beach gear. Overall, we still really enjoyed the place, and would recommend it as long as you're ok with the above

we just had such a great relaxing stay. the street was all by itself, the house was amazing. we had the greatest low key quiet stay. anyone around was nice, the beach was right there. my family and I are so grateful we went to the outer banks, we were unsure and it was just a home run
