The check-in/check-out instructions were very detailed and made it easy to get our vacation started! The house was the perfect size for my husband, myself, and our 2 daughters (ages 10 & 13). The house was just a quick walk to the beach & provided access to chairs and a wagon which was so nice - a few less things I didn't have to pack into the car knowing they were there for our use! Unfortunately we did not have great weather this week, but the lower level was so cute for a hangout and had some fun games too that I wish we were able to take advantage of more! The location is also central to so many things, like Jockey's Ridge dunes, many restaurants and shopping. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, etc. making it easy for us to host a small dinner with a few family members one evening and to prepare other meals throughout our stay. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and will keep it on our list for future visits to OBX!
