We drove from Mass to stay at this beach house for a week. Upon arrival, we were absolutely impressed. The home had every amenity that you could think of! We LOVED seeinf the wild horses every day in our driveway and yard. We also were able to have our 2 furbabies vacation with us, a Golden Retriever snd a Choc Newfie. They LOVED the beach and seeing the horses. We will definitely be back again and highly recommend to everyone!

We had such a good time at Crystal Cove! We saw horses, we spent so much time on the beach, we all ate dinner together and played board games, and hot tubbed, and jumped in the pool and watched a movie like we were in a movie theater. My family all agreed, we would definitely go back! The house was very comfortable and had amazing views!

The house is amazingly clean, and had so much room for everyone alone or all 8 of us together! The location was perfect for what we wanted. The owner was quick to respond, provided clear instructions and was very friendly! Couldn’t have asked for a better vacation!

Our family had an awesome time visiting OBX for the first time! We were traveling with 6 adults and 8 kids. The size and layout of the house was perfect for our group. We were able to hang out as in the common areas but get away from each other and have our own space when we wanted it. The pool was a little chilly thanks to some cold days but we still couldn’t keep the kids out of it. Having the wild horses grazing right off the deck was a huge highlight. We had a slight issue with a toilet and a question about the TVs and Tracy got back to us immediately and had everything taken care of quickly. Wonderful hosts, beautiful location. Would definitely stay again.

The house and area was awesome. The most relaxing vacation we have every had. Having the 2 refrigerators and 2 dishwashers was wonderful for the amount of people we had. Everyone in our party would definitely go back again.

My family stayed here the last week of March. We had almost all ages represented, from 10 to 72. The house was set up perfectly for our family, and we loved that we could have our own corner of the house, with our own showers, and privacy when we needed it. We spent most of our time at the beach fishing and playing, as well as searching for the wild horses, which led to some lifelong memories. I can't think of any other place in the country where you can lounge on the deck watching wild horses with an ocean backdrop. The kids, both young and old, swam and lounged in the hot tub every day. Every night we played board games, and those who wanted to hung out in the cinema room for the nightly movie. Bring an air popper for popcorn, it makes the experience even better. Check-in / check-out was easy, and Tracy was great. He offered very helpful information to make our stay pleasant, and we felt we had all the privacy we wanted. If planning to go, I cannot understate the importance of a 4x4 vehicle. Driving six miles on the beach is a unique experience. You will enjoy it with 4x4, you will feel stressed without it. For us, the plan was to bring three generations together for quality time. This house was the vacation, and it did not disappoint.

This property was amazing. There were 3 families that came together for this vacation and we all had space to hang out within our own smaller units or all come together. The rooms were nice and spacious and if there was a single selling feature for this house it would be the bathrooms alone. Every room has its own private bathroom attached. AMAZING. The drive on the beach was SO FUN. The kids absolutely loved the adventure of it alone. Just a note- you absolutely need four wheel drive. We used it regularly. We had kids ranging from 2 years old to 14 years old and they all had an absolute blast. Tracey (and family) had supplied the house with all sorts of toys and entertainment for all ages. They were also great at all communication, including some local sights and experiences we really enjoyed! Our entire experience was amazing and we can not wait to go back. A couple of useful points that we discussed once we had actually experienced it all: 1) At first I was discouraged that the house wasn't on the beach. However, it ended up being perfect because we didn't have to worry about the kids running out the door and being in the middle of the traffic on the beach. If I was booking again immediately it would be a criterial for us NOT to be the house directly on the beach. 2) the beach drive is approx 8 miles, however depending on the tide it could take 45 minutes to get there. Get all supplies on your way in. Especially if you're getting in later in the day. Luckily for us we all were coming in staggered times so we just called and asked someone else to grab it. 3) I assume this is the policy for the cleaning services of the house - and its just a quirk that would've been good to know- but there are no trash bags, toilet paper, soap (for dish washer or laundry) on the premise. We were thinking there might be enough for a single night so you could run back into town but there wasn't. No issue for us, but good to know if you're all coming in at the same time as there is no "quick trip" back into town. But with the beach drive being so fun, you might purposely forget something anyways! ;) 3) the kitchen is fully stocked with cooking utensils. Which is amazing if you're staying in and cooking! We even made homemade donuts with the kids and it was such a precious memory. There is not a single negative thing about the vacation. It was all so much fun and such a blessing to have an amazing space to get to experience it in. So don't hesitate, book the house!

Very nice updated home. Tracy was easy to communicate with and everything was as described. Will be staying again!
