The house is fairly new and up-to-date, and it is in a good location, easily walkable(or bikeable) to town. It was very convenient for the family members to launch off in different directions and rendevous back for family meals. Between the dining room table and backyard patio area we had several memorable family meals. The kitchen is sort of appointed for family cooking but luckily we brought our own knives, and tools. WiFi was solid for 6 people with multiple devices and streaming TV. The covered carport and first-floor utility room were great for all our beach stuff. The only gripe we have with the house is the gas grill was not available (it's a Weber charcoal grill), the master bedroom mattress has seen better days, and we did not sleep well all week. The outdoor shower was not turned on, and the refrigerator froze some of our fresh food (even at 42F). The instructions from the Realty company were a little confusing concerning sheets and towels so we just brought our own. Despite these minor issues, our love for Ocracoke and our positive experiences on the island remain unchanged. The house, while solid, could benefit from a little more attention to detail to enhance the overall guest experience.
