Probably the best yet!
We didn’t have a vacation planned and this house popped up when searching and I ended up booking it 3 weeks before our trip (there must have been a cancellation and we lucked out!)! We had 4 definite families when booking and ended up adding 4 more! There multiple who never met before but by the end of the week, we were all family! There was so much space that no one ever felt cramped. My niece who is 9 is non-verbal and like that of an infant and the house met the family’s needs. We had issues with bedrooms on one side of the first level wing and maintenance was out soon after. They also took care of everything else on my list. We were supposed to have 2 beach parking passes but there was only one, but we made do. We could not have asked for better accommodations and would love to come back all together!

Awesome property
The property is amazing. We saw wild horses and wild pigs. The pool is fabulous and the beach beautiful. Driving on the sand was scary at first but we figured it out. Be sure to air down your tires.

AMAZING place!!!
This house is absolutely breathtaking!!! The home is massive and was perfect for our large family reunion. The views of the ocean were to die for. Everyone kept saying how much they loved the property and that we should come again next year. If you're looking for a truly unforgettable beach vacation to spend with a large group, this is the perfect spot. We do have a few helpful suggestions for future guests. First, we recommend requesting a welcome package from the owner which provides starter packages of toilet paper, kitchen towels, and toiletries. Second, while the house requires a 4x4 vehicle due to a short drive you must take on the beach, we found that a regular SUV with AWD and deflated tires at 15 psi worked perfectly for the 5-minute drive on the sand. Finally, it takes about 15 minutes to drive to the nearest grocery stores and restaurants, but we found the drive to be breathtaking and well worth the effort.

Exceptional Experience - Best stay ever!!!
The property we stayed at exceeded our expectations. The house was spacious, private, and had amazing views, making it feel like our own personal resort. Our family and friends had the best time vacationing together in the spectacular house.. We were totally impressed with each and every part of this home and all the extra amenities. The second floor was particularly impressive with its event space and large kitchen, perfect for gatherings. While we were initially concerned about the requirement for a 4x4, we found that a regular SUV with AWD and deflated tires at 15psi worked perfectly, and the 5-minute drive on the sand was a beautiful and unique experience that we highly recommend. It was well worth the 15-20 minute drive to get groceries and visit restaurants, as it allowed us to fully appreciate the beauty of Outer Banks. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable vacation experience. The staff was fabulous and so easy to work with. This was one of our best vacations ever. I recommend it 100%.

Best Time Ever!
We had an amazing stay at “The Mark Twin” home in Outer Banks. Despite the initial challenge of the 4 wheel drive , we were provided excellent instructions and a video on how to park our non-4x4 vehicles and deflate/inflate our Torres, make the process super easy and enjoyable. My family highly recommends these unique homes to anyone seeking an unforgettable experience. Upon arrival, we were impressed by the grandeur and classic ambiance of the Outer Banks combined with modern amenities. The 18 spacious bedrooms accommodated our large family gathering perfectly, and the gourmet kitchen was a dream for cooking meals. We appreciated the environmentally friendly reverse osmosis water system and the indoor lounges provided a comfortable space for us to relax and enjoy each others company with amenities such as TVs, pool table, piano and gas fireplaces. The private pool, hot tub, and pool house with a bar were a big hit with everyone. We spent hours lounging on the multiple decks with breathtaking ocean views. We even had a chance encounter with wild horses on our way to the private access beach. Our stay at the “The Mark Twain” was nothing short of spectacular, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing beach vacation rental home in Outer Banks, NC. The property management was extremely helpful and responsive to any questions or needs we had during our stay. We can’t wait to come back. We give it 5 plus stars all around.

The Best views in the Outer Banks!
We loved our stay at "The Mark Twain" home in Outer Banks, amazing property! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the grandeur and classic feel of the Outer Banks, combined with all the modern amenities you could ask for. The 18 huge bedrooms were perfect for our large family gathering, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. The gourmet kitchen was a dream, with everything we needed to cook up some great meals during our stay. They had reverse osmosis water which saved all the water bottles and made it environmentally friendly for us. The indoor lounges were the perfect spot for us to gather and spend time together, with TVs, pool table, piano, gas fireplaces, and more. The private pool, hot tub, and pool house with a bar were a big hit with everyone in our group, and we spent many hours lounging on the multiple decks with ample seating and incredible ocean views. The private access to the beach via an elevated boardwalk was a nice touch, and we even saw the wild horses on our way down to the sand. Overall, our stay at "The Mark Twain" was nothing short of spectacular, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing beach vacation rental home in Outer Banks, NC. The reservation process was seamless, and the property management team was extremely helpful and responsive to any questions or needs we had during our stay. We cannot wait to come back and create more cherished beach vacation memories at "The Mark Twain." 5 stars all around!
