Reviewer Comments:
Starting with the pros, the beach access wasn't as far as suspected - about 4-5 houses down and across the street. This house is also in a stellar location - one mile either way to Jeanette's (where we took in the surf competition) or the Outer Banks pier, and it's an easy walk! We liked the layout of the rooms as well. While there were amenities (pool, billiards, shuffleboard, hot tub, games, video trivia), it was painfully clear that this house is outdated and could use a fresh walk through before guests arrive. There are still tube TVs in the bedrooms; the board games are from the 1980's (not a joke); the shuffleboard had no sand; and there was even a telephone that I can only assume has been up since 1990 in the basement. The bed linens were ripped in multiple rooms; light bulbs were out; and the light fixture on the back of the house was broken. All in all, I think the house has a lot of potential and is in a wonderful location - and I'm really glad it's pet friendly (a huge perk for us!) - but I don't think we would stay there again.
