Here are a few kind words from our past guests:

5-Stars "We had a wonderful stay at Vista Del Mar beach house! The location couldn’t be better—right across the street from the beach, with easy access for quick trips back and forth. The house itself is spacious, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy time together. One of our favorite spots was the porch with its beautiful ocean view—perfect for morning coffee or unwinding in the evening.
It’s a great setup for families! Nadina thoughtfully provided a booster seat, pack ’n play, and baby gate, which made traveling with little ones so much easier. Another highlight was being within walking distance of Mom’s Sweet Shop—don’t miss the truffles; they were a favorite on our last trip and still just as good! Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing and family-friendly beach getaway!"- Katharine

5-Stars "Host, Nadina, was accommodating and responsive.
The house was exactly as described and portrayed in pictures. Wonderful house for our family (3 small children), as the beach access was adjacent to the home. Plenty of space for our group and then some. Kitchen well stocked, outdoor shower and space perfect for rinse after the beach for kids (and adults), and toys / games in the basement were a hit. Walking distance to some of the best coffee in the area (Ashleys). Would recommend to anyone visiting OBX area."- Nick

5-Stars " Amazing fall getaway to this beautiful house! The view from the living space is simply fantastic - waking up to it every morning was so wonderful. The house is so peaceful - great outdoor spaces, firepit was a treat in cool evening, literally across the street from the beach... We even spotted dolphins directly from the house beach access! Communication with the host so easy, extremely flexible and helpful! We had a great long weekend getaway!- Milena
