"Where to start?? This house is perfection!! Extremely well stocked with anything you could possibly need! (Just check ALL cabinets and I’m sure you’ll find what you need) The home is clean and beautifully decorated. The elevator was a huge bonus that you will be thankful for when loading everything in and back out. The pool and hot tub were both very clean and well maintained. (I’m picky and found zero issues)The 4x4 beach was awesome. Yes, it’s a hike from town for sure!! You’re not popping to the store and back quickly! Isn’t that the point, though?? We really unplugged from the world and tuned into each other. If you’re considering taking your family to OBX to get away from “it all”, this is your house!!"
