What Our Guests Are Saying

Matt
Outer Banks

It was great! Plenty of room and then some. Clean, spacious, and everything you need for a perfect beach getaway on the Outer Banks.

Karen
Outer Banks

AvantStay was excellent. House was ready early and they quickly fixed two maintenance items and communicated in a timely manner. Would rent from them again — great beach experience.

Mindy
Outer Banks

10 college friends chose to stay at Atlantic Watch for our annual reunion. We loved the space — each person had their own bedroom and bathroom, and the common area was perfect.
