Quick 4th of July Getaway
This was a last minute trip to the Outerbanks and I was lucky to find this gem of a cottage. Newly renovated, spacious, on the sound side and easy enough access to the ocean. We had a great 4 days over the holiday weekend. Owner was very responsive as we navigated the beach access and neighborhood pool and tennis access. Great size for 4 adults.
