Blissful retreat at Island Haven Our stay at Island Haven was wonderful! We were pleasantly surprised at how clean everything was. The kitchen was well stocked with all the appliances, pots and pans and dinnerware we needed. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The AC worked perfectly. We enjoyed coffee in the morning and sunsets of the sound views from every deck.Our dogs loved the gated deck. The neighborhood was quiet and lovely. We even saw a bunch of frolicking dolphins from the little pier a very short walk from the house. The bikes and beach chairs were a nice bonus. The drive to the beach was short and parking was easy. This was one of the best vacation rentals we have stayed atm

Amazing Getaway! We needed a getaway where we could take our dog. The deck has a gate and it was amazing for our senior pup. The location is great! Close to all the restaurants and shops! Will definitely be coming back!

Excellent This property was one of the best we have stayed in. The home was spotless. Nice sized rooms and bathrooms. It was located in a nice quiet neighborhood. Couldn't have asked for a nicer home. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to all.

Hard to Beat! With comfortable beds, lots of space, amazing views, and much more to enjoy, it's probably easier to say what we didn't like about our stay -- but nothing comes to mind! It was exactly what we were looking for during the off season, and the price couldn't be beat. The house was cozy, conveniently located, and the neighborhood was quiet. Highly recommend.

Fantastic place to stay The house was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. The views of the sound were out of every window. I especially loved sitting on one of the many decks. The deck off the dining area had shade and even a gate to lock my dog on the deck with me. I was very impressed when arriving to find toilet paper in both bathrooms, paper towels, and some dishwasher pods to make your arrival day easy. No need to rush to the store on arrival if you forgot to pack these essentials on your first day. Thanks for a great vacation!

Best Location Loved this property!!! We would love to book this home again for our future OBX stays. Quiet peaceful neighborhood, 360 views out of most windows...the hot tub jacuzzi was a must for our family and it didn't disappoint...hours of fun. There are plenty of games for the whole family, even 2 bicycles. This location is central for going most places, nothing was too far.

Wonderful Location! Entire experience was wonderful! The house is lovely! It was our first time vacationing in the OBX and found this location to be perfect. We will definitely be returning!

Simply Amazing We had such an amazing vacation at this beautiful home on "Pond Island". The location is fabulous - the neighborhood is quiet and friendly. The balconies have beautiful views and were relaxing to sit and enjoy coffee and the views. We watched the sunset every night! The home is very clean and organized as the photos represent. All of the appliances were new and there isn't anything you need that isn't offered there. Beach chairs, beach umbrellas, towels! We made beautiful memories, and we will be back again!!!

A Hidden Gem! Our stay on Pond Island was amazing! Nothing but great things to say about this charming house tucked away on a little island in Nags Head. It was clean and cozy, and felt like home from the moment we stepped inside. It was close to all our favorite restaurants and a great new little brewery that we loved. We will definitely be booking this one again!!!

JosephDirectNov 2023

The perfect getaway!!! As a family, we really enjoyed our time at this residence. The rooms are large, and the kitchen has all of the amenities. They've planned every detail so that you can kick back and enjoy your trip. The location was ideal. We enjoyed our stay so much that we want to return. This was a fantastic experience.

TomDirectNov 2023

Great Stay!!! We have nothing but compliments for these property owners. Their home is extremely clean, dog friendly, and includes everything you need for cooking at home as well as enjoying the yard. Staying here was a wonderful experience!

DonnaDirectNov 2023

Great vacation!! Lovely house, very relaxing. Loved the balcony to sit on in the mornings and drink coffee. We had our two dogs and it was a great house for them. We will be back again soon!

RobinDirectNov 2023

Family Vacay was a success! My family had such a great time the week of 4th of July! The home was everything we expected PLUS!!! There was nothing we needed that wasn't there. The property was very convenient to the beach, restaurants, grocery, and shopping. We will be back!

LindaDirectNov 2023

Wonderful Family Vacation This was our second time staying at Pond Island and loved it as much as the first time we stayed there. The house is perfect for large families, and the porches are one of our favorite things about the house. We enjoyed using the jacuzzi! There is so much to do, fishing, swimming, visiting the aquarium (a must), the lighthouse, and Jennette's Pier. We would totally recommend staying at Pond Island! You won't be disappointed.

GoslingDirectNov 2023

Simply wonderful We couldn't have found any place any better. Everything was perfect. Very clean, well equipped, and it's very apparent that this home has been built and designed with love. We all look forward to the next time we can visit.

JennyDirectNov 2023

Lovely place to stay We had a great stay. The location was really convenient for going in different directions, whether to the beach, historic sites, restaurants or stores. Pond Island was lovely and we found it safe and pleasant for walking our dogs. The property was spacious and comfortable, and we especially enjoyed time sitting on the decks enjoying the views and the breeze. There are lots of great places to eat nearby, although they were very busy during August. Overall, highly recommend.

ChrisDirectNov 2023

Plenty of room Excellent waterfront house with views all around. Plenty of room for our whole family to spread out when we wanted. Full appliances. Location was perfect. Plenty of great restaurants and beaches nearby. Shopping was very close by. 20 minutes to the aquarium. Would definitely stay again!

Excellent My family had a wonderful time on their Outer Banks vacation. The property was excellent!!! Island Haven was a beautiful property located on Pond Island. The beach was a 5 minute drive from the property which worked out good for my family because they could load up all of their beach gear and drive right to the parking lot by Jennette's Pier, and only had to carry gear for a 50 yard walk. Trust me, with my 2 grandsons and all of their gear, that was a God send. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen with open space and all the amenities. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. We plan on coming back. I highly recommend Island Haven for an outstanding OBX vacation.

ColleenDirectNov 2023

Fabulous house, great location This was by far the cleanest and tidiest beach rental we've ever stayed in. They had every kitchen amenity, all very organized. Great furniture set up when you aren't out exploring, super comfy beds. Great location for being close to Hatteras National Seashore beaches, the adorable shopping at Manteo, and amazing sunsets over the sound. We were even able to see the Milky Way and a few shooting stars at night from the balcony. We highly recommend this home. Hope to stay again!
