Nice for a large group, We had plenty of room for our family of 7. The house was clean and comfy. Roanoke island/Nags Head is about an hour away. The plus side to that is that itâs very quiet with no traffic congestion. The negative is that larger grocery stores are a bit of a drive.
Great spot to just get away in the country. Quiet, small town that has lots of little fishing holes and excellent crabbing. Just a hours drive into town and beaches.
Affordable, well-planned rental for a larger group
We stayed for five days in the summer, with our son and daughter-in-law and their two school-age children (and our dogs). During that time, we also had our other two other sons visit. One spent a day with us, and the other spent a night also. We visited the Outer Banks on two days and explored nearby outdoor activities on the others. We enjoyed the great sky views and seeing the nearby farm and boat areas.
We came down for a hunting trip and this property was great. Great area in Engelhard, ample beds, spotless on the inside, fully equipped kitchen and so much more. The owners made us feel at home and communication was great with some spot on recommendations.
We had a wonderful time staying at this property. It was close to Mattamuskeet for winter waterfowl viewing and not too far from the Outer Banks, Pungo Lake or Phelps Lake. The house was roomy and comfortable with a nice big kitchen and common areas and comfortable beds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The Gibbs lodge was a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the real world. Although it was a little more remote than we had anticipated, the amount of things to do in the Hyde county area was immense. The Gibbs family has quite a history in the area and they welcomed us with open arms. Great place to stay and relax.
My family and I enjoyed staying here. We were able to visit many things in the OBX from here. The house was big enough for 11 of us and2 dogs. The owners love animals as there are chickens, horses and cows that come with this place.
In a quiet and safe neighborhood.
The house within had lot of rooms and beds, easily sleep 12 to 14 people. On arrival the place was easily accessed and was neat and clean.
The owner Caroline came immediately once we arrived. We understand she stays in that neighborhood. She was very informative and helpful throughout the stay. Caroline saw that our stay was comfortable. We could frankly ask her if we needed any supplies or information. Also, there was a listed information of the local stores and the sightseeing places and activities.
The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, kitchen wares and spices. All the appliances were in good running condition but of older model. The barbeque coal grill was rusted due to the elements since it was chained outside.
We enjoyed the sunrise & sunsets which were very beautiful. Went cycling around the community since not much traffic. The outer banks are an hour drive.
One night we enjoyed the campfire even though there was a lot of mosquitoes. So be prepared with insect repellent.
Overall, both of our families were very much satisfied of the stay. Hoped we stayed a bit longer.
House accommodated 2 families easily with room and seating for everyone. House was clean, plenty of towels and kitchen was well equipped. The drive to Nags Head was not bad (we did this 5 days in a row), and everyone we met in town was super friendly. Thank you Caroline and Greg!!
We had an amazing family reunion with our 5 children, their spouses/significant others, and our 4 grandchildren. The home was lovely and felt very "homelike." One of my grandchildren even said, "I keep forgetting we don't just live here." There were inside and outside games; plus a wide variety of viewing options on the smart TV. We enjoyed the large yard, fire pit, and bbq grill. Our hosts were amazing! So welcoming and kind with homemade monkey bread for our first breakfast and giving us so many good tips for things we could go and do and see. I can't say enough good things about our stay.
