Well kept, comfortable, Ocean View, Steps to Beach, Sunrise & Sunset Views

10/10 Excellent

"Like OBX of the past. Classic beach vibes. Easy walk to beach, small/medium dune to go over. Late August felt like we were the only ones there! Reasonable and clean"

PierView Unit with Stunning Views, Pup Friendly & Pools

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Pier View condos was absolutely wonderful! The condo was clean, comfortable, and in a fantastic location. Joe was an exceptional host—incredibly welcoming, responsive, and thoughtful throughout our entire visit. Every detail was taken care of to make our trip effortless and relaxing. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would love to stay here again!"

Summer Special/RIGHT ACROSS from OCEAN/Fenced yard/pet friendly

8/10 Good

"My husband and I came to stay at this property with our 2 dogs not to long ago and it was an awesome stay. Easy to check in, communication with property manager was amazing. She even called us to make sure we had everything for an easy check in. Never had any property manager do that for us. Thank you so much! Mini fenced in yard really helped with taking our doggys out. Property is close to everything including 5 minute walk to the beach. My only complain was the dishwasher. It was set on heavy cycle which took almost 5 hours to wash the dishes. Not a problem. The problem was the dishes did not get cleaned because the dishwasher is not feeling up with water. I opened the dishwasher multiple times to check and the dishwasher hardly had any water in it. Made it harder for us. So alot of dishes had to be washed by hand. I hope it gets fixed. We didn't say anything to the property manager because we didn't want anyone to bother us on our vacation. Other than that issue everything was AMAZING. We definitely want to come back."
