We had a great time at the Outer Banks using this cute, family run cottage as our base of operations. The room had everything we needed: comfy bed, clean linens, refrigerator, microwave, coffeepot, air-conditioner, easy chair and small dining table and chairs. Sheila and her mother were helpful offering us a beach chair for our use and taking down our towels off the line when the sun went down. The little seating area outside was a nice addition. Even though it was a shared bathroom, I never encountered a time I needed to use it and it was occupied. Be clear, if you want 4-5-star accommodations, this isn't it. But it certainly met our needs. My only problem was with VRBO. On the way to Kill Devil Hills I realized I'd never been given an address for the property - just online contact for Sheila. I spent a frantic hour or so trying to get hold of a live person at VRBO to find the information. Luckily Sheila messaged about two hours before our arrival that contained her phone number.
