It was a very nice house. We really enjoyed having plenty of room for everyone. It is an old house, so there's plenty of character to make the house interesting. It's about an hour away from the "big" stuff, but great for wildlife viewing. Our kids loved catching frogs and toads in the yard and petting the horses especially!

Pros: Pretty country setting, easy check in and check out, good communication with owners, friendly neighborhood dog, lots of room for big families, well stocked with games. Cons: Couldn’t be outside at night to enjoy the fire pit because of the mosquitoes. BRING BUG SPRAY! Hot water heater makes using the downstairs bathroom or tub impossible, they never get warm. Front screen door handle falls off every time you open it. Nice overall house, old farm house with quarks. Quiet location outside of the beach, easy daily drive to Nags Head.

Nice for a large group, We had plenty of room for our family of 7. The house was clean and comfy. Roanoke island/Nags Head is about an hour away. The plus side to that is that it’s very quiet with no traffic congestion. The negative is that larger grocery stores are a bit of a drive.
