Traveled as family of four with 2 teenage sons ages 16 and 15 two other teenage friends of my one son. The house was perfect for our needs. My wife and I had the downstairs to ourselves which included king bed (super comfortable if you like firm mattress) and bathroom along with living area which had full size fridge and TV. All four boys were upstairs so everyone appreciated some “separation” for downtime after day at the beach. Believe the house is relatively new construction and felt that way with new appliances, ceiling fans and best of all, having two independent AC controls for upstairs and downstairs!
Owners were great and provided more than enough kitchen supplies and even included a Nutri Bullet blender!
The beach is convenient, about 3 blocks and 5-8 minute walk. House provided lots of beach items to use: chairs, boogie boards, umbrella and a super helpful wagon to help transport all the supplies to the beach.
Only two minor “complaints” that are not the fault of the owners though. One is the proximity to the highway. It is right off the main road so when sitting outside you do hear the traffic (man, lots of lifted pick-ups in OBX!) but not bothersome when inside (no noise issues when sleeping). The other issue we noticed was the amount of flies in the area around the house. Certainly wasn’t a swarm but they were noticeable when we sat on the balcony drinking coffee in the morning or cocktails in the afternoon.
Would definitely stay again for the proximity to the beach. The daily rate is very reasonable given all that is included by the owners.
