We spent countless hours on the upstairs deck overlooking the sound. House was very clean and in great shape. The only complaint is that the upstairs bedroom was really hot! We had to keep the sliding door open at night and 2 fans going to be comfortable. During the day it was really hot up there. Otherwise, everything else was terrific! - gary Posted on 7/20/2026 ### (3/5 stars) Lots of issues with house, most of which were dealt with quickly and efficiently by your staff and the electric company. Screen added to upstairs loft slider - great. I believe the loft would still benefit from a ceiling fan. Refrigerator is on its last legs. Technician came and defrosted the freezer to fix the problem of dripping into the refrigerator compartment. The top refrigerator drawer had been filled with a half inch of water when we got there. We were absolutely religious about making sure the door was closed after he defrosted and worked on it but the freezer was icing over its vents within a few days. There is no wire shelf for the ice pan, which is cracked. I think it’s time for a new fridge. The house is otherwise clean and nicely decorated, and good location. A new large frying pan would be nice, too. - Carol Posted on 6/2/2026 ### (4/5 stars) Nice place. Great location with beautiful sound views. Cleanliness could be improved. Hot tub needs repair (does not stay hot). Water pressure is severely lacking. Otherwise a lovely OBX spot. - Smith Posted on 9/4/2025 ### (4/5 stars) Being right on the sound is wonderful! - Maria Posted on 6/23/2025 ### (4/5 stars) Great spot close to both the ocean and sound which we love. - Mark Posted on 4/20/2025 ### (4/5 stars) The location is amazing with direct sound access and ocean access just a 5 minute walk across the street. The house layout is great with 3 bedrooms on the lower level, kitchen living and dining areas on the main floor and a master loft suite. The house is clean and comfortable but is somewhat outdated and could use a bit of TLC. This house is more expensive than the neighbouring properties (probably because of the loft bedroom) but not sure that it is worth the extra $. If you want sound access for wind sports, you can't go wrong. - Julie Posted on 1/4/2025 ### (3/5 stars) Close to everything - Francois Posted on 10/20/2024 ### (4/5 stars) Great house for location. Loft King Suite is very hot. Lovely view but if sensitive to heat when sleeping suggest to use the mid floor king. - Melissa Posted on 7/6/2024 ### (3/5 stars) This house is an ideal location for windsurfers of all abilities… and if the wind doesn’t cooperate, the beach is only a few blocks away. - Maria Posted on 6/30/2024 ### (4/5 stars) The Island Gale #5 is a great location on the sound, with beautiful sunsets. It was close to all amenities and beach access and located across the street from the pool. It could use a little TLC but we would definitely stay there again! - Cathy Posted on 6/29/2024 ### (4/5 stars) Magnificent view - Lucie Posted on 5/11/2024 ### (5/5 stars) Great location and now better taken care of - J Michael Posted on 4/30/2024 ### (4/5 stars) We had a blast there at Island Gale. Lots of room for 8 Very comfortable bed in upper level room. Functional kitchen and amazing view from the spacious lîving room. The amenities outside for storing windsurfing equipment could use some maintenance. You could ad racks for smaller boards. Outside shower is great. Awsome vacation. - Fred Posted on 4/13/2024 ### (5/5 stars) Really loved being right on the sound while also only a short walk (8 minutes to the sand) to the beach. Walkable to some cool places and a quick drive to all of Avon. Only major changes I’d make are to seal off the un-air conditioned crawl spaces off the top floor bedroom. They are making it very hot up there. - Ian Posted on 8/19/2023 ### (4/5 stars) Perfect location for windsurfing and short walk to the beach! - Maria Posted on 6/18/2023 ### (3/5 stars) The location is perfect for kitesurfing, with plenty of space to prepare stock. The sea is an 8-minute walk away. - Rhea Posted on 6/4/2023 ### (5/5 stars) On the sound and a comfortable walk to the ocean as well. - Mark Posted on 4/9/2023 ### (4/5 stars) Can you tell … loved the location of the house. Sits right on the sound. Perfect place for renting SUPs or Kayaks. Can sit out on the deck or in the hot tub watching the sunset. Will definitely return. Only complaint is the air conditioning to the top floor main suite needs improvement. - John Posted on 8/13/2022 ### Can't beat the views (5/5 stars) Most of the houses in this neighborhood received updates when the homes were sold last year, and this one has brand new flooring and carpeting in certain rooms. Amazing view, nice house layout. We'll be coming back for sure. Staying on the sound is so much nicer than oceanfront. - James H.

We watched windsurfers, kiteboarders and kayakers cavort outside the living room window. Highly entertained! - Patricia Posted on 10/20/2021 ### Great 180 degree view of Pamlico Sound (5/5 stars) The view was fabulous. We watched windsurfers, kiteboarders and kayakers cavort outside the living room window. Highly entertained! - Patricia C. Posted on 10/20/2021 ### Everything is good. Perfect sound view and close to beach. (5/5 stars) Very nice and clean house with full stocked kitchen. My kids had fun crabing and fishing right at the backyard. The view is perfect. Beach access is two minutes drive. - Yonghong N. Posted on 9/3/2018
