Turquoise gem

This little home instantly caught my attention online for multiple reasons, but it's somehow even cuter in person. Great decor inside and out, close proximity to beach, convenience store, and restaurants, plus a quiet neighborhood. We instantly felt comfortable here. Good communication with host, super clean, and just all around a great rental property. . here and very much enjoyed our stay.

OBX 2024

This is the second time we spent at this vacation home. We enjoyed it so much late year we wanted to stay here again. The house is very clean and beautifully decorated and very well stocked. It is a block and a half from the beach, a gas station/deli is on the way to the beach which works for ordering lunch. Numerous restaurants and stores are nearby also. We would likely rent this vacation home again in the future.

Summer Vacation

The property is great and well stocked with plates, utensils, pots, and even paper towels. The house is very close to the beach and many cool eateries. The host was easy to reach and addressed any questions in a timely manner. We have created amazing family memories and our stay at the Lively Up Yourself house made it a wonderful vacation in OBX!

Wonderful!

This was our second time staying at this house and it was just as wonderful as the first time. The house was spotless when we arrived, and was fully stocked with everything we needed (pots, pans, dish soap, paper towels, etc..). The kids loved the big backyard and the hammock. And we all loved the hot tub. There was plenty of beach stuff for us to use, like toys, boogie boards, chairs, and umbrellas. We will definitely plan to stay here again the next time we are in the Outer Banks!

Wonderful and close to everything

I loved the house! It was perfect for everything that we needed for our short trip over the holidays to the beach. Cindi was wonderful to work with and easy to contact. The house is so close to the beach and then close to everything in Kitty Hawk and was super clean!! It was such a great stay!

Great Stay

The house is clean and well cared for with fun decorations and a beautiful kitchen. The back yard is amazingly private and unlike most of the other houses in the area. Having the fenced and private back yard is great with little kids and the hot tub is perfect.

Look no further-stay HERE!

This was our 4th stay at Lively Up Yourself, and though there have been some subtle changes and upgrades the cottage is as warm and inviting as it ever was! The decor is on point throughout and the amenities are perfect for a couple or small family getaway. Cindi and John are gracious hosts, very easy to get in touch with and communicate with from booking all the way to checkout and beyond. Great location, great weather, and the hot tub is just amazing. The jasmine-draped pergola over the top is a nice touch. We can’t wait to make our way back and enjoy a little bit of life on a sandbar!

Marvelous backyard

Best property we’ve stayed at. High end finishes, stocked with anything you could need and more, only a block from the beach. Standouts include multiple outdoor spaces from front patio to picnic table, hammock, hot tub, and enclosed front porch. Extremely clean and comfortable. Would definitely return.

Loved it!

We absolutely loved staying here. It was perfect for our family, especially with the fenced back yard where the kids could play. The house was spotlessly clean when we arrived, and had everything you might need. They even had beach toys, boogie boards, chairs, and a wagon to transport everything to the beach, which was just a few mins walk. We will definitely be booking another stay here!

Late Summer Stay

Lively up yourself was perfect for a first-time Outer Banks trip! The house was very clean. We loved the large kitchen that was nicely stocked, and the backyard was great as well. Close enough to the beach to walk, which is exactly what I want when I go to the beach. I loved the proximity to grocery stores, and basically anything else you could need. I would definitely return!

Great experience in lovely property

Absolutely lovely property just a short walk to the beach. We really didn’t want to leave. Cindi is the best hostess. Would highly recommend this to friends and family! In addition, if you’re looking for places to eat, we’d recommend Duck Donuts for breakfast treats and the Outer Banks Brewing Station for beverages and dinner.
