Wonderful week at OBX! The house was excellently maintained, beautiful decks, terrific views, and plenty of space for our extended family. The beach was lovely and the direct access so convenient. We also appreciated the Village Realty responsiveness and check ins. On day 2 the propane was low and we requested a new propane bottle which arrived quickly. Our week was so fantastic and hope to be back soon!

The weather was pretty terrible for the duration of our stay, but luckily the house was absolutely fantastic - so spending more hours than we intended inside wasn’t so bad. :) The hot tub got a lot of use, as did the kitchen (which was fully stocked). Despite the weather, it was amazing to be right on the ocean. We would not hesitate to stay here again!

This is a wonderful, spacious and well appointed home. Our family of 15 had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the cottage. I loved the large covered porches with nice, comfortable deck furniture. The kitchen was large with plenty of utensils, plates, pots and pans, etc. There are two refrigerators, one in the kitchen and one in the rec room. We used the rec room refrigerator for beverages. I loved the master bedroom and bathroom. It was spacious and had a beautiful view of the ocean. Having two outdoor hot and cold water showers was nice and we enjoyed the gas grill for several meals. The air conditioner cools effectively. The walkway to the beach was in good condition and really loved the extra deck at the end of the walkway right before you step down into the sand. The hot tub was nice on the lower level. You do not have an ocean view from the lower levels of the house but the view from the top living, kitchen area was wonderful due to the large windows that allowed a full view of the ocean. There are a lot of stairs in this house and it was ok for our athletic in shape family but if you have health issues this could be a problem as there are three sets of stairs. The adults and kids loved playing the video games in the rec room which had a comfortable couch, large screen smart tv and full bathroom on the same level. The large washer/dryer is also on this lower level . There are flat screen tvs in every bedroom and three large smart tvs in the house, one in the family room, one in the rec room and one in the master bedroom. Three of the queen bedrooms on the middle level had separate entrances to the ocean side middle deck and my adult kids loved this perk. Also the twin bed room had it`s own balcony that faced the front side of the house. The kid room does not have outside access which was appreciated as we had small children in that bedroom.There is plenty of parking and there are two carports. The one recommendation I would make is to update the mattresses on the middle level with the 5 bedrooms. The king mattress in the master suite on the top level is still in good shape. I highly recommend this large house for families and look forward to returning in the future.

This is our 3rd year returning to this house and we will continue to rent this house if available. Exceptional views of the ocean, great for large family get togethers. Kitchen fully stocked, clean and welcoming. Walk to beach a little hard for older guests but otherwise perfect.

Beautiful house, great layout for our family. Gorgeous ocean views from the top deck and easy beach access. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to include brand new Tupperware. Game room on the bottom floor with an extra fridge was a plus for the kids to hang out. House is well maintained with new decking and nice outdoors furniture. Only suggestion would be a new mattress for the 2nd floor king bed, otherwise Ballahack was just perfect!

Ballahack Cottage was perfect! We loved the big kitchen, the comfortable bedrooms, the easy walk to the beach, and the design details that were small features that made a big difference!
