"The property is a lovely, quiet destination where you can relax and enjoy beautiful scenery. This is a a nature-lover’s delight as you can marvel at waterfront sunrise/sunsets, bird watch, fish, and cruise around on your kayaks (and that’s just at the property — Kitty Hawk beach is an easy 30 ride away). The renovations throughout and ample room sizes makes this an excellent choice for families. My husband and I plan to buy a set of those Turkish Cotton towels! They were an added bonus after a nice shower!! Highly recommended!! We would visit again."

"House was in a great location, views of the sound was amazing, dock, and easy walk across the street (5 min walk) to the beach. Needed some pest control, as ants and spiders were everywhere outside and inside. Cleanliness could be better… laundry room / car port area was a mess lights didn’t work under the house, luckily we brought a camping lantern to get laundry out in the dark, old unused chairs and stuff laying around. Outside corner motion light could be adjusted to provide light to parking area, as it only came on when car entered driveway The screened in porch area is falling apart and grill was nasty (we had to clean it before we could use it)."
