After renting homes in the Outer Banks for many years, our family agreed this was the best OBX house we've ever stayed in.You simply cannot get any closer to the water. The location was incredible, & because the house sits in front of neighboring homes, it felt surprisingly private.The home was exceptionally well stocked with everything we needed aside from personal items. The multiple deck seating areas were perfect for enjoying the views, and the motorized theater seating in the living room was a huge hit. The pool table provided hours of family entertainment, & the elevator made moving luggage and groceries between floors easy. The hot tub was enjoyed by everyone and quickly became a favorite gathering spot after long days on the beach.The kitchen deserves special mention. As someone who usually brings a favorite knife & skillet to every rental, I didn't need either here. This was the first OBX rental kitchen we've had that was fully equipped & in great condition. The blenders, juicer, crock pot, & dedicated ice maker made meal prep effortless. The ice maker was a game changer.The beds were comfortable, & it was obvious the home is well cared for. We also appreciated the enclosed, gated carport area, which gave us peace of mind with our dogs. This is one of the few vacation homes we've stayed in where we were already talking about coming back before the trip ended. We would absolutely stay here again. Fantastic location, home & an unforgettable family vacation.
