First off, let me say that we really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and fit all of our needs. The road noise, mentioned by others, was almost non-existent thanks to the white noise generators. We really liked the location since it was a short drive to Corolla as well as Kitty Hawk and the main areas on Hwy 158. The hot tub was fantastic in the frigid upper 20s temperatures! Since it was so cold and because of the 6 inches of snow we received we did not get to enjoy the pier but in warmer weather, I'm sure it would be a wonderful place to hang out. The ONLY issue, and it would have been a non-issue had we known in advance, was that towels and bedsheets are not provided. Out of 20+ stays at VRBO's and, the other company I can't mention in this review, we had never encountered this. There were a few towels but we didn't realize we needed sheets until we got ready to go to bed the first night. The next day we drove to Belk's, a short 15-minute drive, and bought some sheets and towels. Problem solved. Communication was quick. We would definitely stay at this location again.
