My kids and I absolutely enjoyed our stay! Every single room was spotless, the views outside were beautiful, and the host was very thorough and easy to communicate with. We came to Outer Banks for a vacation and were pleasantly surprised the vacation didn’t stop when we made it to our condo!!
Beautifully decorated and spacious condo with marina and sound views! Multiple balcony’s. Great book collection and reading nook with marsh view. Clean, well stocked and organized kitchen. Make note of list provided on what to bring, additional charges for beach towels, etc. and the need to make the beds when you arrive. This was a first for us! Bring white noise machine to help minimize the footsteps from condo above. Overall, great location with a perfect condo!
