Page’s Place

I’ve been going to the Outer Banks for 14 straight years now and have been using Twiddy since 2008. Page’s Place is the first house I’ve repeated (2012 and 2013). 2013 was with the girlfriend of about a year and a half — boy did we have a blast! We decided to shift to a pet friendly house this past week so it wasn’t a three-​peat. However he’s still a puppy and was way too interested in chasing cats, and this one particular fox. So we just booked for a September stay in 2015, without Smuckers.
I can’t say enough good things about this place, and its owner. In all the years I’ve been down there I have never had the owner pay a visit on day one, which by itself says a lot, but there was also a gift bag. I try not to forget anything, but inevitably I’ll forget one of the following; garbage bags, paper towels, pin for an air pump, batteries, etc. In addition to all the goodies one might forget, there was also a bottle of wine. Who does this? What an amazing gesture.
With that said, even without the owner’s kind actions, the house in and of itself is great. I don’t know what their repeat rate is, but it has to be high. This house is perfectly located in Corolla, close to both Harris Teeter (which if you are still one of those people going to Food Lion, stop it, just stop it right now) and Tim Buck II. I’m not going to sit here and detail the house out, check out the site and trust me that it’s as advertised. I will say that you should note that the pool is heated at no additional cost; this is usually not the case.
The weather back in 2013 was amazing. High 70’s the first few days and low 80’s the rest of the week. And no wind! My better half is what made this trip the best one I’d ever had in the time I’d been going. Every morning you make yourself some breakfast, a bloody mary, and you watch the sun go up on the dune deck. Then you set up your beach spot. Head back inside to shower up, fix up another bloody mary and you walk along the beach (3 miles, 5 miles, 7,8,9,11 — a little sore after the last couple).
