Wonderful place, stunning views.. but I was walked in on by a realtor while trying to read a book in the bathtub, she just walked into the house.. Very uneasy feeling but overall the stay was good.

Great Views

I really enjoyed staying at Gray Haven! The views were great of both the ocean and the soundside sunsets. The coffee table was great for working a puzzle. I thoroughly recommend Gray Haven as a place to stay for a trip to the Outer Banks!

Great Place on Ocean

Great house on the Outer Banks. We had a nice family trip. Was not very crowded which was both good and bad. I am sure in summer the place is jumping with people. Glad we had a few good restaurants open. I would go back and rent this house again with other family members.

Great Vacay

My family and I rented the property for spring break. It was just what we needed! The house was very clean and there was plenty of space for us all to spread out. The beds could have been a little more comfortable, but adequate for a vacation rental. The hot tub was amazing, and the views absolutely made our trip! Lovely Stay overall.
