Testimonials

We have booked our Outer Banks vacations with KEES the last two years and they have been nothing but the best in our experience. The staff is kind and helpful (the cleaning staff even came out to our cars to give us a warm welcome as they were leaving since we had arrived a few minutes before check-in), the houses are clean and have great amenities, and the flexible stay option makes it easy for us to book a stay that fits our schedule. I would definitely recommend them for your OBX vacation rental needs!

Testimonials

The weather was stormy most of the time, however we could not have been happier with the experience. The house, ‘Happy Sol’, was wonderful. The family room and kitchen were on the top floor with a view of the stormy ocean to die for. The house had everything we could want. We cook in for family dinners and the kitchen was completely equipped for that. Our 2 1/2 year old grandson wanted us to stay and live there. The Kees people were great, daily towel service on time and always asking if we needed anything. House was very clean. We will rent with Kees Vacations again soon!

~ Debra J.
