Great location
It is a beautiful place on the beach—a good size for my friend and me. It is a ground-floor condo building next to other rental homes. The condo was clean and supplied to get you started with your stay. Another nice amenity—bed sheets came with the rental.

A Beautiful & Peaceful Respite from the World

Property was extremely clean and the only issue was we could not see the beach because a dune obstructed our view. Place was comfortable and peaceful. Nice place for much needed R&R.

Off Season Stay
Great location! The condo is (practically) on the beach... It is close to restaurants and just a short driving distance to the sand dunes in Jockey's Ridge State Park, Bodie Island Lighthouse and the Wright Brothers National park. The condo itself is very clean, has all the amenities you may need and is quiet (off season). The host was outstanding... very welcoming, quick to respond and very kind.

Great Location
Writer’s Retreat is in a great location, centrally located for exploring the Outer Banks in any direction. And if you prefer to stay put, the beach is right there. This is an older unit, but the kitchen is well equipped and there is plenty of comfortable furniture for relaxing. The bathrooms are a bit small, but overall the unit is spacious.
