Solid beach house
House was in a great location, very short walk to the beach. The hot tub was relaxing and the second floor with couches and kitchen was clean and a nice hang-out space. (We were there before the pool opened.) Kitchen had lots of pots, pans, utensils, plates, etc., everything we needed for our stay. The first floor with the bedrooms is a bit run down from wear and tear, but what you would probably expect from a beach house that gets a lot of use.

First OBX vacation
This was our first vacation as a family to OBX. The house was pretty clean upon arrival. The things that did bother me was that the bunk room did not have blinds in the windows which was a little unsettling. We ended up putting the extra quilts over the windows for the privacy. I did not like that you couldn’t lock the doors to the porch from the queen and king bedrooms, as a mom of a toddler it makes me extremely nervous that he could just walk out at anytime without me knowing. The house location was the perfect distance from the beach, our son loved the bunk room definitely a 10/10 and we loved the layout of the house. We did very much enjoy our stay and would consider it again.

Great location
We used this house for a family wedding which took place a couple miles away. Perfect spot to walk to the beach during the day and close to shops/restaurants. Outdoor decks were perfect to enjoy coffee every morning!

Duck family vacation
We had a wonderful stay. The kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub as much as the adults!! There was plenty parking for 3-4 cars. The furniture was cozy and the kitchen had everything we needed. The only thing we were wishing for was some outdoor string lights!!!
James was always available when we called or texted.

Great Place to spend your vacation.
The house was awesome. Beautiful swimming pool and hottub. Everything you need for your stay was included in the rental. The house was very clean and tidy upon our arrival, as was the pool and hottub. It's only a minute or so walk to the beach which was awesome. I highly recommend this rental property for your next vacation. Very good communications with the property owner, but need him for anything while we were there. Looking forward to renting this property again.

What you should want
Overall, the property was great. There were a few little speed bumps, but nothing that caused any major problems. The pictures accurately portray the view of the ocean, which is what you want first thing in the morning. It's a bit of a drive to get most places, but isn't that the point? I would recommend this location to other people and would stay there again myself, especially now that I know how it is in person.
For those who are curious:
-we were locked out upon arrival but a call from the manager took care of that.
-the fireplace was a major part of our plans for the weekend, since our stay was not the typical summer visit... Only problem is its disconnected. This was definitely not mentioned in the listing.
-the house was straightened up but not CLEAN. Found a dead roach and there was a good bit of dust on the top floor. Not a problem for us but people with allergies or who are more particular might take issue.
-the volume control for the TV turns on the ceiling fan. That was more surreal than anything else.
-The instructions for some things could have been more clear. Every place is different, so it would be nice to see more detail in the welcome binder (which trash cans to use, how to work the hot tub (we figured it out through trial and error), a few other things)
All our questions were taken care of very quickly by James the manager, and that was the best part... After the view!

Property was spotless, sofas, chairs and beds were very comfortable. All linens are provided. Everything you needed was readily available. TV in each bedroom as well as the open floor plan in the kitchen/family room area. The pool was clean and inviting, cleaned a couple times while we were there for a week. Sitting in the hot tub, the amount of stars visible was just amazing. A five minute walk to the beach. I would definitely come back and highly recommend to others.
