Fantastic family vacation
The house was great for our family of 20. The beach was in easy walking distance for everyone. All enjoyed the night time crab hunt! The pool provided many hours of entertainment. The decks were spacious and allowed children to play without being on top of each other. Kitchen and dining areas were spacious. And there are plenty of restroom facilities--a must for a family of twenty. No complaints.

Great week, great house
The pool was a godsend with five little ones, five and younger, and the fencing/gate provided a safe enclosed area. Just minutes to the beach, a short drive to Duck or south to Kitty Hawk, for restaurants and shopping, and tucked into a quiet neighborhood.
House is huge with good bedroom/bathroom combinations that accommodated our Beach Bum tribe very well. The new BBQ grill made life easier for all our grill masters and got lots of use over the week.
Can I say three refrigerators? Good planning by the owners to accommodate the needs of large groups. Plates, bowls, utensils, pots, and pans this place has it all.
WiFi acted up a few times, and we lost connectivity but came back online in a few minutes, but we believe this was a spectrum (provider) and not with anything in the house as eleven adults were frequently online.

Solid house....BUT
We'll start with the good: The house has everything you need and close to the beach. Private pool and hot tub was key. 2 outdoor showers and bathroom were helpful. Old propane grill, but still cooked well. Lots of kitchen pots, pans, glassware, 3 fridges. Spacious house, but clearly dated (90's feel). Everything was smooth as far as email with instructions to check in etc.
The bad: The worst thing was the lack of cleaning. We found (and took pictures) of hair, sand, dirt and other things I will not mention. We appreciated the company saying they will do a deep COVID cleaning prior to each arrival, but I highly doubt anything special was done and possibly sheets weren't even changed. The floors were dirty as well. We ended up doing lots of sanitizing ourselves for the first couple hours we were there which was really disappointing. The point of contact for the company just apologized and said it will be noted. I really didn't feel like arguing while on vacation. The internet was highly unstable and many of us had to do some work while there and had to turn on hotspots on our phones. Also, could definitely use a bigger TV in the main room. Maybe putting some money back in the house would be a good idea. Place still has a PS2 and Nintendo 64 and tiny TV in the play room for the kids.

Big house for many people
The house was in a great location and many rooms. I guess I was expecting a bit more comfort and quality for the money spent. It has basic furnishings

Dallwig Family Vacation - 2020
The best property we have rented with our large family in the past 10 years. Appreciated the screened in porch, having three refrigerators, spacious pool. Accommodated well the needs for our extended family of 20.. Two large dining tables had space for 20. Plenty of parking space. Close to the bridge. Short walk to a less crowded beach due to no public access. 3 miles from Duck. Only minor complaint was spororadic wi-fi signal. Lost wi-fi most days between noon and 6 pm. Overall a very clean and spacious house in a great location. Would definitely stay there again!
