"The Norris Cottage is a fantastic vacation home. The house was impeccably clean. The owners were there to greet us when we arrived and did a thorough walk through which we appreciated very much. We have rented at the OBX for many summers and this is the first time we are re-renting the same house again next year."

Jennifer   ·  Stayed August 2021

"So much outdoor dining and adult relaxing space and the game room is 100% the best one of all the houses we’ve ever seen!!! More parking and stronger ice makers would knock this house out of the park! Looking forward to next year (and all air conditioners working at full capacity!)"

Christine   ·  Stayed July 2021

"The Norris Cottage was a beautiful home! We loved the outdoor area with the covered porches and outdoor kitchen, (we had rain two days, but were still able to enjoy the outdoors). The woodwork and attention to detail in this home is outstanding. The game room had so many options, and the theater was amazing that our rainy days were still fun in OBx. The beds were super comfortable, too. I highly recommend this home to large groups!"

Mark   ·  Stayed July 2021

Marilyn   ·  Stayed June 2020

"Norris Cottage has everything! The pool is gigantic. The home Theatre is like sitting in the real thing; so very authentic. The game room is like going to an actual arcade. The bedrooms and bathrooms are indescribable, they are so beautiful. My family lived like the “Rich and Famous” for a week. We even had a family volleyball tournament. The location can’t be beat. We walked to the grocery store (Publix) and a restaurant. Restaurants and shopping minutes away."
