Lovely, enjoyable, well-situated cottage
Our family of four and small dog greatly enjoyed Footprints last week. The proximity to the beach was unbeatable for the price. We ate every meal on the screened-in porch (we recommend getting take-out from the Waves Market--amazing food!), and spent a lot of hours reading on the porch swing! As everyone has mentioned, the decor of the home is just delightful. The weather was great, the beach was lively, but never over-crowded. We have stayed in more populated areas of the Outer Banks, and we really enjoyed the more quiet, laid-back vibe of Waves!
There were a few downsides to the maintenance of the home but no deal-breakers: 1) Despite an overpowering Pine-Sol odor, the house wasn't throughly cleaned when we arrived. We were tired upon arrival, and didn't want to deal with waiting on housekeeping, so I purchased some all-purpose cleaner at the grocery and cleaned the windows, sliding door, and all stainless-steel surfaces in the kitchen, which were grimy and covered with handprints. 2) The hot tub began losing heat after a couple of days, but we called the management, who promptly came and rectified the problem (so not really much of a downside!) 3) The DVD remote is definitely missing. We SCOURED the house looking for it, including all drawers, consoles, etc. 4) There were no kitchen towels at all, so we purchased some (I left one behind for the next guests).
All in all, this was a really great house that the whole family enjoyed. We were very sad to leave it, and would book again, depending how large our group is next year!

Location, Relaxation, and Perfect Vacation Home
We absolutely loved our week at "Footprints"!! The property fit our needs perfectly, and the décor was second to none. The beautiful beach was only steps away from the property. Loved the fact that we had no traffic in front of and around the house and it was easy to find. We will definitely stay here again in the future!! Copper and Sully loved the screened in porch and short walk to the beach too!!
Thanks again for a great vacation,
Robin and Diane Turner
OK
Well, I must first say I was very disappointed in the location. They wrote under the heading, "What Makes This House Unique...You can spot dolphins from the hot tub". Even Superman couldn't spot dolphins from the hot tub. You can spot a rusty fence and a trailer campground. NOT the vibe we were looking for. Hot tub smelled very strong of chlorine...a sign that the chemicals are off. You can get a distant ocean view looking between the houses. The house is beautifully decorated. The beds are very comfortable. If you intend to cook - there is every thing you need. As far as towels go...there are only two kitchen towels... bring hand towels. The floor was very dirty and had a large amount of dog hair when we arrived. I tried to call the management company, but since it was a Saturday afternoon no one answered. I have asthma so we needed to clean right away. There was no remote for the DVD. The cable tv only received about 10 channels. We watched my IPad. The house is in a good location for exploring. Donna and Jim were wonderful about answering questions.
Beautiful cottage
My family and their dogs had a wonderful time at Footprints. Everything we needed for cooking and/or entertainment was there. The refrigerator even had a built in tv and dvr...............never seen that before!! I believe what we enjoyed most were our evening sitting out on the porch. Thanks for a great vacation.
I would stay here again. No question
The fact I would stay here again should say enough. Terrific location. Beach but a few steps away. Nicely appointed home. Beds were very comfortable. Sleeps 6 but house is small. Comfortable with 4. Not so sure 6 is reasonable. Kitchen is very well equipped. Appliances were top of the line, new and functioned well. There's even a huge pot if you wanted to do your own low-country boil. There's a produce stand at the end of the road and plenty of markets offering fresh seafood with advice on how to prepare it.
An observation for anyone staying on the Island. Come in a little late on your arrival date and leave early. We went through Nags Head around 4 pm on our arrival Saturday and traffic was not a problem. We left about 9:30 am on our departing Saturday and traffic was a little messy going north - probably cost us 30 to 60 minutes. Leaving earlier would've been better. As we migrated though the northern OBX we noticed that traffic was A NIGHTMARE on Saturday morning coming onto the Island. It was backed up at least 10 miles and growing. I cant imagine how long those folks waited in traffic. HOURS. And it was brutally hot.
The house is located contiguous to a campground. I was concerned about this at first but it turned out to be a complete non-issue. There's a fence and campers were completely fine. No loud campers at night.
It was disclosed that you need to bring your own personal towels. No problem. There are a few kitchen towels. It wasnt disclosed we needed to provide our own hand soap, trash bags and a handful of other items. 2 trash bags werent enough for a week. I would've expected all those things to be provided, however, I suspect those things have a tendency to disappear after each stay so I understand.
Luckily there is a Dollar General very close so the few needs were easily addressed at a reasonable cost.
The TV was a bit of a mystery. I'm a bit of a news junkie and we didnt get many straight news channels. Also, the channels that were available seemed to change. We got MLB for most of our stay so we were able to watch games in the evenings but those channels disappeared on Friday. We tried rebooting the receiver but that didnt work. We didnt watch too much TV so it wasnt a huge issue but it was somewhat confusing.
We had a great week and would certainly stay here again.
Great week in a great house
My friends and I stayed in the house for 7 days. This beach bungalow was a perfect getaway for an even better price. It's conveniently located and within walking distance of both the beach (right across the street) and the shops. The house was immaculate and very tastefully decorated. I would highly recommend the house to everyone from families with small children (very kid friendly), adventure seekers (close proximity to kite surfing and the beach), and older couples (only one flight of stairs) Two thumbs up!!!
