Guest recommendations
"The Ways Favorite was a wonderful stay for our family. Plenty of space, clean and the big front deck was a wonderful spot to drink coffee while listening to the ocean. Walking to the ocean access takes less than a minute and the beach wasn’t overcrowded as the neighborhood is more residential. The walking trails throughout the neighborhood were a wonderful surprise. We walked/ran everyday. We saw lots of wildlife, including a mother doe and her fawn in the backyard, turtles & bunnies. Duck is close to a lot of activities and great restaurants without being in the commercialized areas of the Outerbanks. We look forward to returning soon."
"Proximity to beach; dual ACs; & electric griddle."
"Couldn't ask for a better location for our family vacation at the beach with our baby and my senior parents. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook and the outdoor grill was a great touch. The bedrooms were comfortable. The deck was a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the beach view."
"Great location with ocean views from the front deck and a short walk to the beach. Very clean and comfortable house with recently renovated kitchen and bathrooms. Took advantage of the extensive book collection. We'll be coming back!"
"this house was everything OBX is about!"
"Just a great home located in Sanderling. Very comfortable for a family of 4. Only suggestion is for the renovated deck to get new furniture."
"Beach access, nice quiet neighborhood, close to restaurants and shops. Clean, plenty of linens. Quick response for a replacement beach chair that was broken."
"A simple, classic beach house in a lovely community."
"Very well kept, clean and updated. Close to the beach! Loved the new queen mattress on the middle level. Wish someone could let me know which Serta mattress it is so I can buy one for my home!"
Thanks for staying at 139 Skimmer Way. The Serta Perfect Sleeper was a Brookton Plush purchased from America’s Mattress. Please come again!
"We have stayed here several times over the years. Comfortable and simple, it is a great beach house in lovely Sanderling. Deck is new, could use some new chairs."
"Gavaghan was a great vacation house. Updated, very clean, and super close to the beach. We had a very relaxing week."
"We were not sure what to expect when we found only one of two vacation homes left in OBX for the 4th of July week. What an amazing find in Gavaghan. Perfect for a family of four in the quiet Sanderling community. The wrap-around and recently upgraded deck was quite pleasing and the home was quiet and comfortable. The beach was not crowded. My only ask would be for the owners to invest in new deck furniture to help capture the amazing sunrise and sunsets. We will stay here again."
"Great location with a very nice deck for viewing the ocean. Walk to the beach is easy and the area surrounding the house is lovely for exploration and evening walks. Good house for 3-5 people."
"This house was perfect for my little family. Being in a culdasac and so close to the boardwalk was a relief for having a small child. Overall the property felt like home. Highly recommend"
"The location was outstanding...the decor and furniture was dated. But, the price was pretty good considering the proximity to the beach."
