This home was perfect for our “framily” vacation. Each family had their own floor, living area and bathrooms. The views from this home are the best we have ever had from any rental over our last 11 years up and down the OBX. The kitchen was more than adequately equipped with amazing appliances and any tools you may need. The three kings suited each of the adult couples well. There are a LOT of stairs but each time you climb them and reach the top, you are rewarded with practically a 270 degree water view. It’s truly amazing. The furniture in the main living area is still in good repair as far as stains and tears but is not comfortable at all. The cushions show the wear and tear (as a rental would, we expected this) but it didn’t bother us much as we spent most of our time outside on the deck, at the sound or on the beach. The house advertises a small “beach” where kids can play but we weren’t able to utilize that. There wasn’t any sand there, just covered up with a lot of old grass washed up. The adults however did wade out into the sound for some fishing. It’s barely waist deep way out, mostly knee deep. Very nice for them. Another reviewer mentioned the carpets were gross but they seem to have since been shampooed, and didn’t look bad at all. The beds were semi comfortable and the master bath was nice. Shower wasn’t remotely clean but would be very nice should someone put in some elbow grease. The house overall served our needs and didn’t cause any hiccups. Everything was in working order, worn, but working. We would rent again, most likely, for the views. You can see the sunrise perfectly from the kitchen window and the view of the sunset across the sound was breathtaking every single night. My wine in the evening will never be the same without that amazing view. Will be hard to beat.
