Summary: By far one of the nicest homes we've ever stayed in at the Outer Banks. Super clean, obvious love for this home by the owner. You can walk to the beach. It's amazing! They have so many extra touches that we have never witnessed. For example, our daughter forgot her toothbrush. We planned to go get one until we noticed they had a package of toothbrushes in the bathroom!! Thank you! Also, the use of the beach gear was great! Plenty of chairs and the big tire beach cart was awesome.
