"Size and location. A perfect size for a large group (we had 17) with multiple spots for some R&R away from the hustle and bustle. And the location and the beach was perfect."
"Spacious bedrooms, multiple sitting areas on top and middle floors, nice yard, great gazebo for night time hang outs, workout room, front and back decks. Handicap king bedroom on top floor"

"It’s such a great home for family gatherings. There are so many hideaway spots for getting together and catching up conversations. In all our years of traveling to the OBX, Story House has by far exceeded our expectations; the kitchen is amply stocked with everything needed, from multiple large pots to gadgets galore. It’s the first house in memory that none of the family members had to bring anything for preparation of their meal! Thank you to the Story House owners for their diligence in their provision."

"We have been staying at the Outer Banks for 9 years now. We found Story House in 2019 and reserved it for 2020 for our 50th wedding anniversary. We will be reserving it for the following years as a gift to ourselves. There are so many small conversation areas that it was perfect for our children and their children to reconnect with each other. We always prayed for our children to remain close, and now the younger cousins. Story House is the perfect home to help achieve that. ❤️"
