Great!
The house was a great place to host friends and family for Thanksgiving. Large entertaining space and large kitchen made it very easy for friends and family to move around and not have to be in separate rooms on Thanksgiving Day.

We had 13 people and there was plenty of room in the house. Having a pool and spa was a great add on too. We were close to the beach and that was a big factor to have. House was clean but the only negative was the Elevator would not stop at the 2nd floor, but we got over it.
The house overall was perfect size with plenty of room to spread out for our large family. We loved everything about it except the way the yard is set up, when we got heavy rains it all ran into the pool and we were unable to use it the last two days of our trip. The pool company was amazing and did all they could to help us but said it was unsafe to swim in because of all the yard debris and chemicals they had to use. Other than that when we could use the pool it was perfect!

We had a great week at Southern Paws.The roomy house was clean and well appointed for our family of eight adults and ten children. The pool and game room were a hit. The beach access was a short walk down the road and we found drivers very considerate when crossing. You’ll want a parent with the kids, but you would anyway at the beach. Southern Paws is separated by large bushes from a nearby area with restaurants and ice cream establishments among others but still felt quite private to us. Definitely a great choice for our OBX vacation!

There was 14 of us and plenty of space for everyone. Even the kids enjoyed having their "own" room and space. House was very nice and clean. We vacuumed and swept daily also to help out with the sand, which is unavoidable. Overall, everyone had a great time and pretty much spent most of the days at the beach, which is just a short walk. Though traffic is heavy, drivers always stopped to let us cross at the crosswalk. Thanks for a very nice, enjoyable week!

A great house for a large family. There are thirteen of us and there was plenty of room for everyone. A very convenient location as there is a pizza shop, an ice cream shop and a restaurant right behind it. The pool was a blessing when it got too hot at the beach and the game room came in handy when it was too hot to sit by the pool. We’d recommend this house for a large group.

We had a great family vacation experience with 10 adults and 3 children. The house was very spacious, with ample bedrooms AND bathrooms! The pool was great and location to the beach was a manageable walk. The house had many amenities (pool, pool table, ping pong etc) that everyone enjoyed. Had some minor issues with no iron/broken door handle that were corrected in very acceptable timing. The house could use some minor updating (i.e paint in worn areas) and you have to realize that you are on a relatively high traffic road particularly on the weekends. Overall, very happy with the experience and we all had a great week!
Very clean, would not have known it was a pet friendly house. Well laid out with comfortable beds and furniture. Can't wait to visit again.

This was our 3rd year staying at this beautiful semi-oceanfront beach house. There is something to do for every age in the family. Close to stores and restaurants! Thanks for beautiful family vacation!
Our family reunion was so much more enjoyable by being able to all stay together. Southern Paws was exactly as described in the VRBO app. It was clean, with a well stocked kitchen,close to the beach and restaurants . The beds were so comfortable and the rec room was awesome for the teenagers in our group!We had an issue with the pool on the 1 st day of our vacation. The property manager responded quickly to my message and had the problem fixed that day, despite it being a Sunday.We would definitely rent this beautiful home again!

Very large, spacious, clean home. We appreciated the amount of king sized beds that allowed all adults to have one as well as multiple beds for kids. The pool and hot tub area were very nice, we liked that it had locks on all the gates since we brought young children. Great location, loved being able to walk to the beach and ice cream. Overall the house was exactly what I anticipated from the photos and would stay there again.

Southern Paws was the perfect house for our large family group. The walk to the beach wasn't too far and the beach on our side of the pier was much less crowded. The house accommodated our large group of 5 families and allowed for a great week of celebration of our dad's 80th as well as some other celebrations! We loved walking next door for coffee, ice cream & the escape room & even though it's not on the ocean, we could see the ocean from the upper levels of the house which just added to our enjoyment of the space! I would recommend this house for any large group or family group!

We had a great time at Southern Paws. my brothers and their families and my mother and I shared the house. From the moment we checked in, til we we checked out we were extremely satisfied with the rental The location was perfect for us, it was close to the beach for morning sunrises and close to Corolla for the wild horses tour. We have no complaints about the house, it was clean and exactly like the pictures. We enjoyed the theater room and game room every day, It was a great family vacation! We would 100% rent Southern Paws and use Coastal Realty agsin.
The property was wonderful with one exception! The road noise and traffic. It was extremely difficult to enter the highway from this location. The house is beautiful and totally furnished with all you need. We had ample space but the road noise caused most of us to use the back bedrooms versus the front. The grandchildren loved the play areas, rec room, theater room and of course the pool. We would stay here again, if the house were elsewhere.
