This was our families first trip to the OBX(BEST VACATION SPOT EVER). We had 3 adults, 3 teens, and 1 child in our party (plus family friends with 2 more adults, 1 teen, and 2 more children living locally and hanging out during 2 of the days) and had more than enough room. I did a lot of research before choosing to stay here and I can not describe how beautiful this property actually is (the photos do not do any justice!). While we were there we drove around quite a bit and I can say I didn't even see any other property that came close to this one. The house had absolutely anything and everything you would need; well furnished, any and all kitchen needs, huge pool, nice size hot tub, nice pool table, a good size landscaped private yard(after driving around, most places are on top of each other and either have no yard or unkept fields), and is on a very quite street but still centrally located. The staff at Carolina Shores was great! In fact one of the stairs on the pool ladder broke while we were there and within a few hours the pool company was there to fix the problem at no charge (very professional!!). There's only 2 things to keep in mind if you're planning to stay here - the kitchen is on the 3rd floor so if you have people in your party that can't handle stairs, probably not for you ; this is not a property you can walk to the beach from, less than a five minute drive and there is plenty of free and paid parking (great trade for the privacy!!!). Long story short, if you want to have a memorable family vacation, stop looking and make the reservations. We will definitely be staying here again!!!!

P.S. any left over food can be left with the office upon departing. Hope the girls enjoyed the scallops and drinks ;)
