Marsh Mellow relaxing stay
Jackie was an amazing host. She was responsive to questions about the island and things to do. She even had a few snacks waiting for us when we arrived late at night. It was such a comfortable and clean environment to relax and explore the Outer Banks for our first trip there. Would highly recommend staying here. Location was great, views of the marsh and ocean, and very comfortable setting.

From the moment we walked in, we were amazed at how lovely this place is. Sunroom, screened porch and deck off bedroom. A paradise for us celebrating our magical time together. Host left us a sweet card and adult beverages to toast our time relationship, so thoughtful

Marvelous marsh hideaway
What a cute and immaculately clean little stay. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Our stay was wonderful. The owner was very responsive and even had some nice little surprises waiting for our arrival to enjoy during our stay. The view from the enclosed little sunroom was so nice on the mornings and the evenings. Her recommendations for food were also on point.

Peaceful stop
I stayed at Marsh Mellow while driving through Cape Hatteras. The beautiful tranquil oasis was just the perfect spot for a rejuvenation I needed for a long journey ahead. The surrounding marshes and the beautiful landscape were breathtaking. Jackie was a great hostess and I had everything I needed for my restoration .

Coming back for my honeymoon
I’m not even dating right now, but at least I have my honeymoon VRBO picked out. It was incredible. The most magical part of our trip was this VRBO. It is exactly like the pictures and I can’t wait to come back. Jackie was so kind and even let us take a few of her shells home. We loved it!

Cozy Getaway
The Marsh mellow was everything and more for a couple looking to have a romantic weekend. The entry way garden with exotic plants and flowers were so lovely. I have to say that it has the coziest feel as soon as you walk in. The white couch was our favorite spot at night with candles lit and a glass of wine. Jackie and Dennis were such great host leaving a few special items in the fridge for us to enjoy with our stay. In the mornings with a cup of coffee and the view of an egret in the sound , I will miss that. Thank you so much, we will be back.

Green oasis
Beautiful private space with a great marsh view. Loved watching herons and osprey in the marsh. Great book selections for a rainy day in, and very convenient to beach access, sound access, good local restaurants.
Comfortable bed and everything needed to cook simple meals, even cookies and k-cups supplied, which was great for arrival after a busy morning!
So nice to have an outside hose available to rinse off sandy feet.
Easy parking for our full-size truck and very responsive host.
Loved our short stay and looking forward to returning for longer someday!

Senior Special
This was a beautiful place, especially for seniors—no steps and a lot of throw blankets to keep us warm. The place had a big bedroom with a comfortable bed and the living room was beautiful decorated and with a huge bathroom. Our hostess with above in accommodating us when our grand children came and stayed one night. The apartment is well stocked with everything you would need if you wanted to eat in.

Phenomenal place and stay
Exceptional stay! Made my bucket list trip to OBX a trip come true!! On a scale of 1-10, this is an 11.This apartment is everything in the listing and more! Wonderful and gracious hosts; beautiful surroundings. Exceptionally clean, cozy, private, and quiet! Comfortably furnished with so many little touches like you're at home (even a small personal fan, as well as a ceiling fan in the livingroom). View wildlife and beautiful sunsets from inside the atrium; or even better sunsets, from a short walk to the sound-side secluded beach (bring mosquitoe spray!!!, [which Jackie even supplied in the spacious, and equipped bathroom]). You can cook on the gas grill, and/or make ahead/buy main and side entrees to store in the midsized freezer/fridge to heat in the microwave, and eat at the table in the atrium. Regular and disposable dishes provided. Extras in the fridge, compliments of the hosts! Perfect place for a romantic getaway, especially in fall/winter with the gas fireplace. Exceptional pricing for what you get! Don't hesitate to book it! (Or maybe you shouldn't, so it's available when I want to book it again! LOL!) I hope to do so again soon! Thank you Jackie and Dennis!

A friend and I wanted to take a trip together like we use to. Neither of us had been to the Outer Banks so that’s where we went. Angie was very helpful and she had several suggestions for places to ear and sightseeing. The apartment was very clean and decorated lovely. We would go back there again.

Bay beach oasis
Clean, beautiful, and minutes away from the beach. Jackie was a wonderful host and went out of her way to make sure we felt comfortable. We couldn’t find the grill, and when we came back from the beach Jackie surprised us with a new grill on the patio and a plate of seafood appetizers. Just an example of what an amazing host she is. We would feel lucky to come back!
