The unit is secluded and quiet, with several nice features-an outdoor shower for removal of beach sand, convenient parking for two or three vehicles, all appliances worked, an outdoor grill. It is second story elevated, so steps are involved. The third bedroom is detached from the main house and away from the bathroom, no problem for our younger family members. The main bedroom has several high windows which let in a lot of light early in the morning. Furnishing is old, and some items had to be temporarily stored out of the reach of young children. Lighting was sufficient but primarily lamps. Caretakers had not done a good job of cleaning, and grassy areas needed mowing when we received the keys It is within walking distance of the beach, and also has lots of parking at the community center very close to the beach. It is close to museums, a ferry ride from Ocracoke, and has a kite shop nearby.
