We hadn't been to the Outer Banks in almost 20 years, so I was nervous about picking "the right spot" for our family vacation. We lucked out with this place!Anne Marie was SO easy to work with. She had great communication leading up to and during our stay and gracefully answered every single question I threw at her. Check in was seamless, and we even got to enter early! The property is exactly as described with a fully stocked kitchen (and is more updated than the photos suggest!) and literally steps from the beach. We loved the private access to the beach, and the chairs/umbrellas were a super nice touch! The view from the deck is fantastic...not as amazing as a higher-up floor would be, but nothing was in the way of our view. We had a great seat for beautiful sunrises, storms rolling in and an occasional dolphin sighting. Parking was plentiful and easy, the pool was clean, and the overall location is basically right in the middle of all the action...it was just as easy to go south as it was to go north. The condo was quiet, well-maintained and peaceful. The public beach access next to us was never an issue...it was never noisy or disruptive.Everyone had enough space to spread out, and the master suite is ridiculously huge. We are already talking about a return trip! Thank you Anne Marie for a restful and restorative week! :)
