After many houses I think we finally found the one that fits our family and our style. We’ve stayed in much nicer and larger homes, but this one fit us perfectly. Easy private access to the sound to get on our small boat was awesome. Even with the included boat slip I just kept my boat beached at the private dock. Fishing from the dock was also good. Fish cleaning station at the back of the house was very handy. My wife loved the big tub in the master bedroom. This house was very well laid out for our family and had everything we needed. The neighboring boat ramp and slip are huge benefits to this house for the sound fishermen. My only complaints about this place was the driveway was horrible for me. I have a crew cab dually truck and with the rod rack on the front it was almost impossible to turn around and even swing the turn without being in the bushes. My second complaint was under house lighting. They were there just not bright, and a lot of blown bulbs. I like to work on my fishing tackle at night, and still had to use extra lighting. All in all we loved this house. It will most likely be the one we rent from now on.

The sunsets were awesome. Beds and fourniture are very confortable. Very quiet neighborhood. The kitchen is very well equiped but only k-cup coffee machine. We loved our stay at Quinnebaug and would certainly go back without hesitation.

We loved the pier out to the sound with the seat about half way to the water! The kayaks! The views of the sunsets! The screened in porch off of the primary bedroom!

The view is wonderful. The sound is full of parasailors all day long. The kitchen is well equipped. The dining area is ample. The rooms are tastefully decorated. This house is just a terrific place to vacation in the Frisco area.

House was great, plenty of room to spread out. The kids loved playing in the water down in the sound. If you have little kids just be careful as the walkway down to the water is high off the ground. Great house for sunsets!

We have been coming to Quinnebaug for 12-15+ years and it is like our second home. The house is very comfortable and conveniently located to everything OBX. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals and enjoying all the fresh seafood available. And, the sunsets over the sound are spectacular! We highly recommend Quinnebaug for an enjoyable, relaxing vacation!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. The only issues we experienced were some of the storm shutters were lowered but this was resolved. Also, the fireplace did not work because there was no gas in the outside tank. This was reported to the management company but unfortunately not resolved. Also, when we were checking out the cleaning crew arrived an hour before the checkout time and asked when we would vacate the house. As we were loading the vehicle, we reminded them that we had until 10 am to leave and they left. We were surprised by this because we had been asked to inform the management company when we had checked out. Overall, it was a positive experience.

Home has a great floor plan and very spacious for a three bedroom. Well equipped and enjoys 3 showers! The gas grill and Kuerig coffee maker were added bonuses. The location is very private and the sound views stunning with private pier access to the water. Only suggested improvement would be to trim the lower tree branches atop the driveway, fishing poles carried in vertical holders will not clear those limbs but almost.... Would recommend highly and would rent again!

We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay, Gary! Thank you for providing us with your feedback. We will speak with the owner about this during the winter break. We hope we see you again!

We really enjoyed this property and definitely plan to go back. It was great being able to easily launch our kayaks and fish from the dock. The chair lifts were a great accessory for my husband, who has trouble getting around and climbing stairs. The only disappointment is that after we booked, we found it was through Vacasa. The whole reason we like VRBO is not having to deal with a rental company and the added expense. Otherwise, everything was great!!

We loved the house. Everything was perfect. Unfortunately, all of us were sick most of the week, but that was our problem. Fishing was not good, but high temps and storms played a role in that. The house met all expectations. Glenn0

Cannot say enough about this house- immaculate, great layout, great location, and very well equipped for any family, especially those with little kids. When I’ve stayed in rentals with air bnb, I’ve been accustomed to bringing my own basics like laundry detergent, trash bags, etc. we were pleasantly surprised that there was a nice little starter kit left for us on the counter of all the necessities, as well as linens and towels which many other Outer Banks rentals did not include. Here’s why we especially loved the location of the Quinnebaug as a family of 4 with 2 kids under 5- we originally looked an ocean front rentals. All we could find in our budget for a 4 day trip were tiny condos across the street. When I found this house, I told my husband I was sold because of the private boardwalk out to the sound and 1 minute access to the beach. It was perfect because we got the best of both worlds. We were able to wake up, grab a cup of coffee and walk out to the waterfront in our slippers, and still make a split second decision to be on the beach within minutes. The beaches at outer banks are VERY windy, so we found it very convenient to walk right out to the sound from our back door- and the sunsets at the Quinnebaug are out of this world! Many an evening spent on the swing at the pergola. I could tell from the guestbook that many other families have returned to Quinnebaug as a family tradition, and for good reason. Thank you to the Ford family for opening your home to us for a wonderful stay!! MUST eats in Hatteras: - Pamlico Deli - Rusty’s Seafood My *only* complaint would be about communication from Vacasa about maintenance. Twice during our 4 day stay, maintenance workers arrived at the house with no phone call or warning. One to work on the air conditioner, and the other to replace an outdoor outlet for the homeowner. We didn’t know whether they were legit and we were a bit caught off guard.

Really liked the location, access to the sound, pet friendly, and added bonus of cargo lift. Really nice house.

Had a great 2 week R&R stay at this property in early May, with the OBX having creeped onto the 2021 travel bucket list during the 2020 Covid shutdowns. Pictures and descriptions on this were accurate -- previously cited issues regarding internet and HVAC appear resolved, as wifi was fast and dependable during our stay, and a touch of AC was nice on a few warm humid evenings. While there aren't many reviews on this site yet, as this rental company is newer to the area, this property has been rented for many years, with guest book entries dating to at least 2013, and lots of happy and satisfied loyal renters. The location is in a relatively quiet part of Frisco, which itself was very low-key in May. The view of the sound is awesome, and sunsets (we got lucky, with mainly sunny weather) from the upper deck porch or the private boardwalk leading down to the water's edge were spectacular. Mosquitos weren't yet out in force, but the screened porches of this house would be golden in summer and early fall. Gas grill worked well. Furnishings were basic but sturdy and comfortable, appropriate for a beach house, and the open kitchen/LR concept was nice. Not a ton of restaurants nearby, so self-catering made sense. This house has stair lifts, and while we didn't need that feature, it would certainly be a draw for anyone with a stair-climbing disability. Paddle boards and kayaks were available, although it was too windy to use them most days. The neighborhood has a common dock and small boat launch site, with a shallow waterway to the sound (saw people using jet skis one day). Would definitely return for a shoulder season stay, to avoid peak summer crowds. The pipeline gas shortage deserves a shout-out, added an element of anticipation for the drive home. A note about the wind: residents and frequent visitors of the OBX know this implicitly (we hadn't been in more than a decade, so had forgotten about the wind) -- the wind speed can play a huge role in outdoor comfort level and activities here. Being soundfront, and we had near-constant wind, ranging from slight puffs (perfect!) to 35mph+ gusts (too windy to even sit outside) during our stay. I think this is the case in most parts of the OBX and isn't necessarily unique to Frisco. There was a small legion of colorful kite surfers capitalizing on the wind most every day in the sound, and if you're into kite surfing, this is an ideal spot for it.

Beautiful view and nice house, need shades in the master bedroom door to outside porch

The home was very well maintained and offered many amenities. It was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Great sound location and close to drive on beach and also close to small grocery store. It was perfect for our family and our precious dogs.

We really enjoyed the house and location. The only thing I didn’t care for was I felt the comforters on the bed were not exactly clean. Other than that we loved it! Had a great time!

Quinnebaug's immaculate views of the Pamlico Sound are absolutely breath taking to say the least. We are thrilled to hear you've enjoyed your stay, and hope you make it back again soon.

Our only complaint Is that the HVAC needs readjusting - lots of variation in the zones - some too hot and some too cold.
