Outer Banks adventure
This was our first trip to the Outer Banks and it was lovely. Our family of 11 had plenty of room in this home. Overall, would recommend this property.
Pro: location (boardwalk to beach is one house over), beach not crowded, walking distance (.5-.7miles flat walk) to lots of shops, restaurants, rentals, and grocery store. If you wanted a one stop beach location this could be it. You could drive here and then walk for everything else you wanted to do. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Hot tub was great. Kitchen well supplied with pots and pans. Upper floor is great, huge dining table, wide open space for large family gatherings.
Cons: no “beach closet” (most VRBO properties we’ve stayed in have a closet with beach toys, left over chairs and umbrellas, cooler etc… didn’t see that here) but we did leave our stuff behind so maybe the next person will enjoy it. Many baths had very small shower stalls with curtains that stick to your legs when showering, doors would be a nice upgrade. Very firm beds (could be a pro if you like that). Dunes have grown up to impede view from top balcony (totally understand that’s an ecological issue and can’t be fixed but the view is moderately disrupted because of it). Aged decor and design in the lower and mid levels. Need furniture replacement on the upper level, the couches are past their prime.
Northerner location on OBX, good if you prefer more quiet. Traffic can be significant getting to the location.
