Great Water View! It really does feel like you're on top of the water. The house was clean and ready for us. The beds were the most comfortable beds we've had in a vrbo. Well stocked, and the fire pit at the water was a bonus.

Lesley thanks so much for choosing to stay at Water Winds. I'm glad you enjoyed your time at the Inner Banks. The stainless steel grill that we placed in service this spring is located under the porch and has a cover over it. Lots of folks grill on the outside fire pit and that is fine but is more for Smores. We used the grill for Veterans Day and it worked just fine. Come back and try it out.
