Birthday Getaway

I don't think the pictures do it justice. This secluded gem was exactly what we were looking for. The thick shrubs around the house gave a feeling of quiet seclusion even while being walking distance from a restaurant. This is a 10/10 place to stay. I'd recommend to the owners to extend the dog lot a few feet to include the deck steps. This would allow pets to be let out the back door and not need to go down with them to put them in the dog lot which has its own entrance. Still, we're already talking about out next trip.

Blissful Stay in the Bungalow

The property was exactly as advertised and it was perfect for our family of 4 and our pup. The Hideout was beautiful and well maintained. The views from the back deck are stunning. And the location was just perfect. We had absolutely privacy even though we were right next to Real Sports. I wouldn’t change anything about our trip and stay. Oh, and the staff is amazing, helpful and so pleasant. Everyone was happy to help with anything we needed.

Peaceful with Perks

Waterman’s hideout was exactly what we were looking for our family vacation. Our daughter spent a month away at sleep away camp, and we wanted family time for a week after picking her up before heading back to Boston. We also wanted to bring our family dog with us. The hideout was exactly as represented in the description and reviews. There was ample space for our kids and dog to run around, a great dock to hang out on and to paddle board from everyday, privacy and a well appointed bungalow. We were pleasantly surprised by how much we ended up using the amenities at REAL Watersports. Our kids took Kite Boarding lessons at the lesson center while we hung out with the dog at the outdoor seating at the restaurant. We were also able to rent our paddle boards there too. While Waterman’s and REAL were busy while there, we didn’t notice it at the hideout, we were able to have some great low-key family time too. The location made it ideal for getting North to Manteo, South to Ocracoke or to any of the beaches along the seashore. Everyone was super helpful, both with our stay and pointing out local places to check out, eat at and visit during our stay! It was a great break for us and the dog, and we will definitely be back!

Amazing view

We stayed at the Hideout for a week. The location is great and the place offers all amenities that one needs. We had an A/C issue when we arrived but that was taken care of pretty fast. The view from the back porch and the dock is amazing. Can't beat it!

Place as listed. Staff accessible and helpful. Peaceful and secluded location yet access to Waterman’s bar for some tasty eats. Enjoyed the live music at night coupled with 10 pm quiet time. Looking forward to returning when kids are old enough to fully utilize facilities.

Great house & location

We loved outvstay at Watermen’s Hideout from the beautiful sunsets to the deer peeking in at us from time to time. The house was great, modern furniture and came with everything we needed for our stay. We had our Thanksgiving meal in the house, did a lot of shopping at Real and did a lot of relaxing. The location was great and the staff at Real was amazing and hospitable. We will probably be doing it again next years.

Perfect little secret in OBX

Perfect for one family looking to get away. Sound side is calm and good for swimming. Private yard leads right to dock where you can sit and watch kite surfers. Great way to start the morning! House is very modern and has everything you need. Ocean side beaches are minutes away... easy to bike to. Restaurant and shops right next door with live music and food that is delicious and reasonably priced. We WILL be back!
