The small town of Frisco located at the southern end of Hatteras Island, is a paradise for beach lovers who want to relax away from all the activity and noise of the mainland, and settle into coastal life. The town is small, and the northern end covers a wide section of Buxton and Frisco Woods, while the southern end is a thin stretch of Barrier Island where from a breezy deck, it's possible to enjoy an ocean sunrise and a sound sunset. With a few well-loved restaurants, convenience stores, and a variety of inviting yet secluded accommodations, Frisco may be the perfect destination for Outer Banks vacationers who want to leave all the clutter behind, and simply enjoy a vacation on the beach.

The house and the location were great. The sound front setting was perfect for the kids and the sunsets were fabulous. If you like to kayak, this is a perfect place to stay. You can launch right from the back of the house. The house itself was beautiful...great kitchen, living space, bedrooms, etc. Frisco is far away from the crowds at Nagshead but has everything you'd want to do in OBX. We'd go back in a flash.
Property was clean and well-maintained. Sunsets were absolutely beautiful. Easy access to sound and ocean. Owner was helpful in letting us know when house was ready for us. Nice large open living area. Only negative - no access to bathrooms except through bedrooms. Overall, a great house. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to friends or relatives.
This is the best spot for a relaxing family vacation. Quiet and beautiful, great floorplan, lovely home and amazing kitchen. Keith was fantastic sending us information and providing a folder when we checked in telling us local information and sights. The location is perfect and uncrowded, the beach was amazing. The location is just great for going sightseeing, boating, fishing, and swimming. The kids loved playing in the sound, it was warm and shallow so it was also very safe for them to splash ...
Our family had a great time in Frisco. The house was lovely, we especially loved the living area. It was so open and spacious, and the views were outstanding. Such a relaxing place, worries, and stress just melt away there. The kids really enjoyed going down to the sound daily, and catching crabs, and minnows - a great source of entertainment for both adults and kids. It was great having the kayak there to explore the sound. It was so nice to be able to walk across the street to go to the beach....
MaMaHooHoo was a fantastic rental house. Everything was as advertised. The views from the house were amazing. The house was VERY clean and neat. The footwashes were very helpful in keeping the house clean and very convenient. The outside shower was great as well. I would definitely recommend this house to others. The owner was very easy to work with and answered all questions in a timely manner. I have stayed in many houses on Hatteras Island and this one is right at the top of the list. The 4x4...
We've been traveling to the Outer Banks for several years and have found the Frisco area to be the best. Now, add MaMaHooHoo and you have the best! This house was thought of with perfect location in mind. With it being so easy to access the ocean and the sound you can't go wrong. We have 2 young kids, this house made it stress free. With access to the sound with the supplied kayak, the boys absolutely loved it and could explore some awesome areas that we haven't been exposed to with ...
My family has been vacationing in the Outer Banks as long as I can remember. Luckily, my children, ages 7 and 9, love the Outers Banks, too. Over the years, we have camped, rented houses on the beach, and stayed in hotels. Our week at MaMaHooHoo was, without question, the best vacation we've had. The house itself had everything we needed, including a wonderful outdoor shower. We stayed a week and my children and I never showered indoors! The views were absolutely amazing and the location was...
The house was very nice with beautiful views of the sound from the living area. The location is great -right across the street from ocean access. Our whole family had a great time and look forward to going back again sometime. The owner was a pleasure to deal with and very accessible whenever we had questions.
We stayed here with extended family and it is a beautiful home! Very well maintained and an easy walk to ocean! A stocked kitchen with pots and pans, dishes, silverware etc. made it nice not to have to pack the kitchen sink! The decks outside are wonderful and the view of the sound is peaceful. Loved watching the wildlife! Egrets, and snakes! We collected a few shells to take back to my grandson who has never had the pleasure of going to the ocean. Nana and Papa will be visiting again!
From day one, the owner was great in returning all emails with questions! The house was as advertised. Very clean, very nice furnishings, all working high end appliances. Probably the quietest dishwasher I have ever heard! The kayak was great to use. My son loved it. We went crabbing in the sound daily. Wear bug repellent as there are mosquitoes! The sound view is spectacular from the living room and first level bedrooms. The master bedroom upstairs was very roomy. It did get warm at night in th...
I booked this at the last minute for a family get-a-way based on my internet search. Upon talking with the owner, I was put at ease about our spontaneous rental and not knowing the area. The best way to describe the place was WOW!!!!!! It was new, large, clean, and sat right on the Sound. I could not have asked for a better vacation except for the fact that I needed about 2 or 3 more weeks of sitting on the top deck in the sun reading my book looking out at the water. My wife and I could not hav...
Everyone knows that the Outer Banks is a terrific vacation spot. However, we were really impressed by this house and its amenities. The large open layout and construction are first rate. We had kids as young as 1 year old and 6 adults sharing the place and there were large rooms to congregate and quiet places to get away for privacy. The views from the porch and windows were outstanding. The place exceeds its description by far.
Nine of us spent a week at this marvelous house. The only complaint I have for this otherwise perfect vacation is that this house is meant for up to 10 persons, yet the BBQ is quite small and charcoal. It is more of an observation than a complaint actually. The house is gorgeous and actually larger than it appears in the pictures. Communication with Keith was great, he recommended a great restaurant nearby and was always prompt in returning my emails. The fact that it was 95 degrees all week lon...
The house was great! We had three families staying at MaMaHooHoo and we had plenty of room. The main floor was perfect for a group -- very spacious and the kitchen was great. Outdoor shower was comfortable and convenient, leading straight up to the bedrooms - perfect for cleaning up after the beach. Keith has been terrific to work with all the way thru. We even called him while we were there and he stopped by within 30 minutes. This is a very nice house in a very good location. If you don't ...
We had a phenomenal time at this house. Hatteras is a long drive for a lot of our family, so there was some stress before the trip about the travel - this house made it more than worth it. We had tons of space for 4 adult couples as well as 3 kids (all under 10). The common area is much bigger than I realized from the pictures and has a great layout for this sort of vacation - by having one HUGE room with different "areas" (sitting, TV, dining area, kitchen) it keeps the family togethe...
Our family of 8 (4 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 kids) had a wonderful week at MaMaHooHoo. Each day we had a nice mix of rain and sun, allowing us to spend lots of time both at the beach and touring the nearby shipwreck museum, Hatteras lighthouse and taking a ferry ride to Ocrakoke Island. The very new home is truly beautiful, with comfy furniture and very spacious. It is well planned with an incredibly spacious family room with beautiful views of the sound. The kids enjoyed their bunk beds, and w...
The moment you walk into this house you can feel that it was built out of love. It is in the perfect location, the sound is footsteps away and the beach a short walk from the house. The home is very well kept, very clean, well maintained, and perfect for a family trip. The kitchen is well equipped with all your cooking needs, the screened porch was perfect for late night card games and dinner outdoors. Most importantly the sleeping arrangements were perfect. This kids enjoyed the bunk beds, the ...
Just got back from a weeklong stay with my husband, our two young children, and another couple with a baby. We had a wonderful time, the house is immaculate, and well laid out, with plenty of room. A very well thought out rental with all switches labeled and everything in it's place. The kitchen is stocked with every dish or cooking item/tool you could need, which was nice to have the option to stay in with the kids. The only thing I would recommend is to bring the bug spray the Mosquitos we...
Location, location, location -- it was fantastic! We were not familiar with the Outer Banks -- once we spent a few days there, we realized what a fantastic location this is to be right on the Sound and just a short walk to the non-crowded beach. The house is the best we've ever stayed in. It's clean and well maintained -- all of it -- kitchen, bathrooms, carpeting, furniture. It's bright and open, just like the pictures. Loved the large, well stocked kitchen. Keith leaves good instru...
I thoroughly enjoy coming to this location. The house is clean, comfortable and beautiful. The beds are comfortable and house is very well kept. I highly recommend this location for family vacations. The beach is very close by, just a short trip across the street. The sound is right out the back door. The sound is a great place to allow the kids to safely play in the water and enjoy all kinds of water activities. The house is located to all that you may need. Restaurants, grocery, pharmacy, and ...
The house and surroundings were even more beautiful and spacious than the pictures. There was a view from every window of the ocean or the sound. We enjoyed kayaking in the sound- it was perfect for beginners since the water is very shallow and clear. We used the crab cage to catch dinner one night. A handicapped-accessible beach entrance, complete with warm showers, was a short walk up the road and very family-friendly. Beach toys and boogies boards made it fun to play and surf the waves. The o...
Excellent location for those that want to get away from the over crowded beach areas. House was very clean and spacious. Everything we wanted to cook with was available in the kitchen. Two kayaks were fun to cruise around in on the sound. We LOVED the hot outdoor shower! Very short and easy walk to the beach. We spent mornings and afternoons there with nice break in between at house to relax. We also returned to hunt for crabs and walk along the beach in the evenings. Sunset off the back deck wa...
We come to this particular area of Frisco each year and this is the newest and best-appointed house we have stayed. The reason we keep coming back to this stretch is that ocean beach is just some 700 ft away on the other side. MaMaHooHoo is as you would expect a house which is only a few years old when everything is new and still works good. Linens are good quality and included. Kitchen is well stocked with pans/pots, spices, oils so cooking was easy. Access to sound is good for kiteboarding or ...
Everything was spectacular! We had a wonderful time. In fact, we've been kicking around the idea of taking the kids to Disney, but we asked them what they thought and they said they'd much rather come back here! Music to our ears...the house was perfect, the beach was practically private, and the sound provided plenty of entertainment. We kayaked, set the crab trap, fished, and watched some stunning sunsets. Oh, and we all loved the Quarterdeck! Thank you for the recommendation. Perfect ...
My family loved this house. It is very well maintained and clean. It has everything you need from crab pods, beach items, kayak and every in the kitchen. Great views of the sound and just a short walk to the beach. Mamahoohoo were great to work with and very helpful.
