JR42: Whit's End

As neighboring Virginians, our extended "Framily" has been vacationing in the Outer Banks every summer for over 30 years and we have never re-rented a cottage. We can't wait to come back to Whit's End next year! The short distance to the beach and super easy walk make this cottage a no-brainer! The pool was a great size and the pool deck stayed sunny well into the 6:00 hour. We loved Family Movie Nights, NetFlix binging, and gaming in the Theater Room. The outside full bathroom, connecting decks, and ample hoses kept the sand outside the cottage. We loved the view from the top deck; you can stay part of the action from the comfort of your Adirondack chair! If you are looking for a comfortable place that has a "beach cottage" feel then you won't be disappointed. A few major cons included only one refrigerator, no ice machines, a stove with non-functioning burners and a gate on the side of the cottage that was easily accessible to people using a semi-public beach access. The hot tub was amazing but not when it rained; corrrugated plastic could really take the hot tub experience to the next level!! Thank you to the owners and everyone at Village Realty for a wonderful vacation! We can't wait to spend time in your home next year!

Overall a great house! It's not as new/shiny as some other properties and shows some wear, but you can't beat the prime oceanfront location. Pros: the large pool and hot tub were great for days when the red "no swimming" flags were up on the beach. The hose on the dune deck and full outdoor bathroom (complete with shower and toilet) by the pool helped reduce sand in the house. Very kid friendly - baby gate, pack n play, and high chair. Plenty of plateware, drinkware, silverware, pots and pans, and casserole dishes. Two standalone ice makers. Cons: ill-fitting door in BR #5, leaky faucets, broken blinds, broken/stuck drawers in fridge and freezer, dead lightbulbs throughout the house, no shade on the pool deck (an umbrella would help. Previous pools we rented were partially shaded by the house). These did not deter from our amazing beach week as they are minor inconveniences that can be easily remedied/repaired. We will definitely keep Whit's End in mind when we return to the OBX!

We rented this house for a group of 15 and it totally accommodated all of us. We basically lived in the pool all day due to the wonderful weather. The upper deck was enjoyed by all as we saw dolphins in the morning along with the sunrises, the chairs are very comfortable. The house if fully stocked, but it is in need of some updating. Some of the bed linens were very thin, dirty shower curtain liner, a few holes in the walls, shelf in refrigerator broken, cleanliness, etc. Nothing horrific but it would have made a difference. We did have an issue with the lower levels air conditioning but I was impressed with how quickly this issue was resolved....that was a big positive! All in all we had a wonderful week and absolutely love the OBX!!

Beautiful house! We enjoyed the large living space for family time. The large top deck with high chairs was perfect for sunrises and coffee or sunsets and drinks. The pool was the perfect size for our group. The house had some wear, but it was to be expected late in the year.

The house was amazing. Perfect size for a few families doing a vacation to OBX together. Right on the beach, with amenities such as a large pool and pool table. Adequate sleeping arrangements, large number of bathrooms, and large commons areas. Great stay and vacation.

This was the perfect house! The views were amazing! It was stocked with everything we needed for the week. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. We chose this house because of the location. It is pretty central to everything. We like to shop and eat out so we were able to do all of that without having to travel very far. The other reason we chose this house was because it was oceanfront and had a pool. We love to look at the beach/ocean but swim in a pool. We definitely will be renting again next year! Thanks so much!

The house is perfect in many ways! The layout and size are perfect for any size family and the location to shops and eating places is ideal! You will LOVE the view!

this house was perfect location, close to reaturants, activities and the beach!! couldn't ask for better beach access! the pool was awesome also !!

The house was great ! We loved spending time on the porch. Great location! looking forward to next year.
