This house is located in a very nice, quiet neighborhood - close enough to Duck center to drive or bike but far enough to avoid the traffic and crowds. This beach is a quick and easy walk. We found the house to be very clean and conveniently supplied. The upstairs is airy, bright and has nice, updated decor and appliances. The lower entry and stairwell could be updated to reflect that same feel; seeing as it is the first impression to the house, it is dark and the stairwell carpeting looks dated. The decks and landscaping could use attention. The lawn was uncut and landscaping somewhat straggly/neglected looking. There was no furniture on the deck outside the master bedroom which would have been nice to have for star-gazing at night. There are beach chairs and a wagon for use and a pop-up shade tent looked like a good idea until we dragged it down to the beach only to find it had no top - only scaffolding. There are both gas and charcoal grills but not sure if charcoal is provided.

The place was very quiet and a beautiful getaway. The beach was within walking distance and the home was central to the OBX. Would highly recommend if you want relaxation with the ability to be anywhere within the neighboring areas within a few minutes.

We had a great stay and the house was clean, in a quiet area, and a great location for a very easy 2-3 minute walk to the beach. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was great and had all the dishes and cook ware.
Overall, great house, location and we will rent again!
Thank you for a great stay!
