About Barb Getchell

Barb & Terry are local ''outer bankers' who live on the sound side of the island in Kitty Hawk;

Barb grew up vacationing on the Jersey Shore, but once she found the OBX she never left. She practices in the heath care field here on the outer banks and insists on 'extreme clean' and comfort for her guests. Her husband,Terry, grew up on Cape Cod, served in the Coast Guard after college, became a marine biologist and enjoyed his migration to the outer banks. He now works privately as an marine environmental consultant. Both Barb & Terry enjoy helping their guests have the best vacation ever. They are 'hands on' and supervise every aspect. Owners live 5 minutes away and can help with anything that will make your vacation the best ever. They know the good restaurants and activities and can even help with reservations.

Barb & Terry's children work in the hospitality industry on the outer banks and love to surf and skim board in their leisure time.

All of the family loves the beach and are avid boaters and kayakers.

Why Barb Getchell chose Kitty Hawk

Shooting Star guests haves a gorgeous view of the ocean from 5 decks, both sunny and shady. Walk 100 footsteps and you are on the beach. When the need to relax hits you, enjoy the hot tub!

The 'Beach Butler' lift brings your luggage and groceries to the upper decks effortlessly. This home is super 'family friendly' with beach and baby equipment galore. You don't need to rent anything! Just load all your beach items on your large beach cart walk 100 steps and you are at the beach.

If you like to cook this house is for you...granite counter tops, fun appliances-cappuccino and Keurig, ice cream machine, professional blenders, Cuisanart mixer. Gas grill or smooth top stove to cook your creations. 2 refrigerators and a wine frig.

Like to star gaze? A computerized telescope (not a toy) makes the night sky come alive.

We can't promise that dolphins come to visit our beach, but most of our guests have had 'dolphin encounters'! They tend to swim near where the gentle waves break and some say they 'surf' !

Because the gulf stream is just offshore the ocean warms early-and our guests swim by Memorial Day. That also means great fishing!

Can you tell that we love this house? So has every family that have been our treasured guests! Come and try it yourself....

What makes this house unique

A bottle of wine and a bubbly hot tub await your arrival and a nice start up supply of soaps, paper products, detergents, etc., is provided. Grocery stores are less than a mile away

Swing on the 3 hammock chair swings on the front deck as you cool off from the beach or take a nap in the oversized hammock.

You may even be visited by our Vacation Neighbor who has a sweet treat for you and your family.

An urgent care center is close by as are drug stores...just in case.

Mini golf and regulation golf courses are public and lovely.

Outer Banks restaurants are award winning and within a five minute drive. Seafood, steaks and Italian are readily available; so is pizza delivery.

Hello,
I'm sure you are wondering if this should be the place for your family and friends to relax at the beach. I can tell you that you will not be disappointed... Our group (all husbands are police officers by the way) visited for the first time in 2008 to run the OBX marathon. As a result of that stay we decided to visit again in 2009. We are now making plans to stay for a third time in 2010. The location and the home are a value for the dollar and there were also no hidden fees to deal with. I was very impressed and will list a few of the many things that impressed me: very clean - well maintained - well supplied with extras - great location - top quality electronic equipment - outstanding views for all decks - great hot tub...

You will not be disappointed...
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Girls Getaway, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: We wish all of you good luck on your next marathon run and look forward to your next stay at Shooting
Star.

We stayed at Shooting Star for a week in mid-July and had a great time. We had three families (6 adults and 6 children ages 2.5 - 14) Everyone had a great time and the home is children friendly. All pictures are true and accurate. The home has everything you could think of for the beach and plenty of room for all. Our group really enjoyed the large decks and roof-top deck. It has many games and books for kids and adults. And Barb and Terry were fantastic to work with...very helpful with recommendation of places to go and where to eat or not to eat. We really enjoyed the beach and the kitchen - dining - family area...very comfortable. And everything you need for the kitchen. We had a really great vacation with lots of memories. Thanks Barb and Terry for sharing your home with us.

Have a great end-of-summer.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Shooting Star. I gave the week of vacation as a Christmas present to my 4 kids (2 married, 2 single) and they all appreciated it. It was close to the beach so we barely used our car. We were able to see fireworks form 3 different towns from the roof deck which was fun and played our own patriotic music to go with the fireworks. We laughed a lot and played many group games. The house was beautiful with plenty of room for everyone and it was cleaned nicely. The porches and hot tub were great
Owner's Response: We are so pleased that your group enjoyed their Christmas present! It was fun meeting some of your family and glad you could do July 4th from the roof top deck. Thanks for staying at Shooting Star!

Found this property on line,one word WOW. Our experience could not have been any better. Owners were at the house when we arrived to greet us. Feet from the beach. Highways ,stores, restaurants were convenient. Outside was very well maintain and clean. When we got inside, everything was fresh, amenities met expectations and beyond. Views from all windows were breath taking.

We already booked a week in the Summer. I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a beautiful place that will make their vacation complete as ours .
Layout and location -Perfect. To look outside and see Dolphins, Sunrise.
PS-Did not want to leave.
Owner's Response: So glad you are returning this summer! We'll always try to meet your expectations for aaa fabulous vacation. Barb & Terry

Our families with children from ages 12 to 20 had a fantastic time at the Shooting Star! This was our first visit to the OBX, a great place. Barb and Terry were a pleasure to work with and very informative. The house is in an awesome location, just steps to the beach. It was so nice to have all the beach amenities at the house for us, beach chairs, boogey boards, umbrellas and the kyack...the kids had a great time with that! The house was beautiful, roomy and comfortable. Our families made some great memories at the Shooting Star! We got to swim with the dolphins at the beach in front of the house, watch the great fireworks from the decks and play lots of games and laugh!
Thanks again Barb and Terry for making our vacation so memorable.
And the elevator was a definate bonus!
