We had a great stay over 4th of July week. Chris was super responsive whenever we had questions. The house was the perfect size for the 5 of us (3 adults, 2 kids). We really enjoyed using the plunge pool and came in handy when we needed a break from the beach. The house is well stocked with everything you would need, and the gift basket upon arrival was a really nice touch. During our stay, I rented a golf cart which worked very well for our stay and I highly recommend doing. The beach and bay are a short walk in either direction, and so is the town of Duck with a great walking path. Adding the cart made it easy to jump in and run to town, got to the beach, or jump back to the house if the kids needed a break, and otherwise made for an elevated experience. But just the same you could walk without an issue. The house comes with a parking pass so you can park at the lot by the beach access which is really convenient. We never had an issue parking. We didn't take advantage of the community pool or tennis court but both looked very nice. Overall, it is hard to find a smaller house in the Outer Banks for smaller groups if you aren't going with 14 people - this property is just the ticket. Highly recommend.
