"Everything about the house is accurate, and it's a great location to escape to the beach. I would recommend the house to anyone who wants to get away and have their own little piece of the beach to themselves. It's far enough down the beach that the day visitors don't seem to venture up to this part of the beach as often."

"Great week in OBX! The house had everything we needed for our week away. The home looked exactly like the pictures and met the description of the listing. Owner was very responsive, often responding in just a few minutes. Kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed to cook several nights of our stay. Washer and dryer was great for laundry mid week and prior to leaving. Our party of eight had plenty of space! The shed area outside had plenty of chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards, which made traveling from New York so much easier. Coffee on the deck in the morning overlooking the dunes and water was a great way to wake up. The neighborhood was also great offering tennis courts. Right outside the neighborhood/development or sidewalks for running and morning walks. We even walked to the grocery store and ice cream several times. And we were able to fit three cars in the driveway with room."
