Southern State of Mind

"We love the parking area because it is one of the few larger homes that give us ample space to park all of our vehicles. We also love the way that each bedroom has it's own private bathroom and that the bed rooms have no bunk beds and trundle beds and that most are king size beds or the double queen is nice too. The outdoor pool area is amazing. The kitchen area is so roomy with ample appliances for a big home and very well stocked."

"We have stayed at this house multiple times and love it ! There is so much to do for all ages and a short walk to the beach …. The upgrades to the outside area were wonderful ! The kids had so much fun playing in the grass area in addition to the pool. It was wonderful and will book again !"

"Recreation room great with all the games ........pool wonderful with plenty of chsirs / lounges.........movie room / multiple living spaces spread the generations out"

"This home has an amazing outdoor space and game room. We come with lots of big kids and they are all occupied!"

"10 bedrooms, and no bunkbeds we don’t have any kids that go with us so it’s nice not to sleep in a bunkbed"

"This home is in immaculate condition. The amenities are perfect. Access to the beach is a short walk. Since the home abuts the nature preserve the beach is never crowded. Just love this home!"

"House was stock with everything thing you could need House was in perfect condition"

"Everything was just great!!! Twiddy will always be my favorite realtor to deal with. You guys were absolutely the best. Thank you for that. I have never in the 25 years of coming to the Outer Banks stayed in the same house but I would definitely rebook Southern State of Mind. Beautiful home with everything we needed. We loved it!!!"

"We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the games at the house."

"Southern State of Mind was the BEST HOME EVER that we have stayed in! From the first steps into this lovely home we knew we had found a gem! It was fresh smelling and was even more beautiful than the pictures online! Our favorite spot was the ENTIRE house! Every square inch has been thoughtfully planned to make your stay the most comfortable! Our family consisted of 9 adults & 9 children. (4families) We loved that each floor of the home had a living room to get away and enjoy. The spacious bedrooms are well positioned for multiple families to enjoy privacy. And having 8 King bedrooms and 2 Queen bedrooms is another well thought out plan for guests. There is one bathroom per each floor that has a bathtub. Perfect for families with little kids. We loved the game room! Ping pong, pool table, shuffleboard, Foosball, arcade game table, incredible! Then the theater room too! WOW! So much to do inside! And The Kitchen!!! Oh my word! It was our pleasure to cook every night in this magnificent kitchen! Double everything! Every cabinet was fully stocked with dinnerware, glassware, serving dishes, kids cups, ect. There's a Kitchen Aide mixer too!!! How amazing! We loved making homemade whipped cream one night! The huge island and the long family table was perfect for seating everyone, with room to spare. We even used the enclosed screened patio for meals. It was perfect! The furniture is very well designed & not cluttered. Exactly what we needed. The outdoor area is breath taking! The owners have spent much time & money in ismaking the outdoor experience top notch! We loved the artificial lawn backing up against the natural.wildlife preserve area. It was perfect for our game time when we were not in the pool! The outdoor kitchen area made grilling a breeze. The hot tub was a favorite too. On several.mornings we saw deer behind the black railed fence. The location of the home is so close to the board walk to the beach too. We loved the quiet street with no thru traffic. It made walking with small children so easy. We definitely will choose Southern State of Mind again! The home, amenities, location, cleanliness, & beautiful outdoors made this our favorite beach house ever! Thank you to Twiddy & the owners for our BEST rvacation yet! Sincerely, J & J Fleming"

"Great location- easy access to the beach and great view from the crows nest for watching sunrises over the water. House was very clean and in good order."

"This was our 3rd time and it’s a great house. We love it because there’s no bunk beds. We have all adults on our trip.the best part for me is the view from the deck.we will continue to return to this house as long as the price is affordable."

"Very nice, just perfect for our large family. Kitchen was well equiped, nice pool and game room!"

"This house was amazing! Perfect location, stocked with everything you could possibly need. Our favorite house so far!"

"The house was amazing. It was spacious and offered everything we needed. Close to the beach and the beach is never crowded bc of location."

"We have stayed at this home multiple times and it’s always our favorite! It accommodates a large group of us and the bedroom are all wonderful! The basement games are a huge hit with the teenagers and adults! We can’t wait to come back again."

"Everything, from top to bottom, inside and out. The house had Everything we have been looking for since we been renting it. Definitely making this one our permanent vacation house"

"The added amenities where great, for example, we never had to "make do" in the kitchen with limited pots or utensils. The games were great and the location both close to the beach not too close to neighbors."

"Beautiful home. Great kitchen that was well stocked with all necessary appliances and cookware. Kids loved the game room and pool. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our large group. Easy access to beach. Only suggestion would be some sort of shade around pool area-possibly some umbrellas."

"This house was amazing!! Very spacious. We had 7 families with multiple children and had no issues with space. The kitchen was beautiful. Bedrooms were roomy. The kids and adults enjoyed the game room and the entertainment room and surround sound was a bonus. Volley ball court was super fun for our evening games. Multiple balconies with fantastic views and peaceful for just relaxing. Short walk to the beach and with the reserve right behind house we even seen some wildlife. Plus beach was not crowded at all. We will definitely be coming back to Southern State of Mind!"

"We loved our stay at a Southern State of Mind! It has plenty of space for big families, as well as a very well stocked kitchen! We really enjoyed the pool and the easy walk to the beach. Some things to keep in mind for your trip: 1. There is a high chair in the kitchen 2. There is NOT a blackstone, like the pictures include. 3. There was not any sand for the shuffleboard table, would want to bring your own. 4. The kitchen has everything you need from crockpots, blenders, to large stock pots, do not worry about needing to bring your own. 5. Bring your own rafts for the pool, there were none at the house. 6. The beach is MUCH closer than it appears on googlemaps, very easy walk! However, there are a lot of steps to get up over the dunes, so if you were planning on using a beach wagon, you may want to think of a different option."

"Could not find a more special house for such an important week. We got married here during our stay and had our ceremony and reception in the side yard. We will be back! That’s a promise!"
