In all our years of traveling to the OBX, Story House has by far exceeded our expectations; the kitchen is amply stocked with everything needed, from multiple large pots to gadgets galore. It’s the first house in memory that none of the family members had to bring anything for preparation of their meal! Thank you to the Story House owners for their diligence in their provision."

Deborah And John   ·  Stayed October 2021

"We have been staying at the Outer Banks for 9 years now. We found Story House in 2019 and reserved it for 2020 for our 50th wedding anniversary. We will be reserving it for the following years as a gift to ourselves. There are so many small conversation areas that it was perfect for our children and their children to reconnect with each other. We always prayed for our children to remain close, and now the younger cousins. Story House is the perfect home to help achieve that. ❤️"

It is wonderful to hear of your positive experience at Story House this year. Your feedback confirm the kind of memorable experience that we wanted our family and others to have while staying at Story House. Happy 50th Anniversary and the best to you and your family for the Christmas holiday.
