NO BETTER PLACE TO SEE A SUNRISE. THE HOME IS UNIQUE RIGHT ON TOP OF THE OCEAN AND EXITS RIGHT OUT ONTO THE BEACH. OBX AREA IS A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT WITH TOO MUCH TO DO IN A WEEK. THE HOME HAS SOME UPGRADES THAT MAKE IT HIGH QUALITY STAY

The home was as described in its offering and the pictures are accurate. It was right on the beach, the first home in a row of four. We enjoyed the upper rooftop deck and the screened in deck. We used our voucher to get beach chairs and umbrellas delivered. We never made it in the pool but it looked nice and clean. The home was the perfect distance from all activities (restaurants, piers, lighthouses, Wright Brothers site).

This was a great unit. Everything was super clean, appliances modern. Our king-sized bed had a great mattress! the shower had great water pressure! Check-in and check-out were straightforward. and you couldn't be any closer to the beach! We saw waves crashing right outside the kitchen window!

Great location, right on the beach with great views of the sunrise. Make sure you read what to bring with you as the house isn’t stocked with some of the basics like soap, shampoo, beach towels, etc.
