We were very lucky to score this rental for the 4th of July week and highly recommend it. For one thing, you absolutely can't beat the location and amenities, being so close to the pool, easy transport to the beach (where parking can be a nightmare,) the grocery store, a pizza place, and ice cream. As for the house itself, there is PLENTY of space and furnishings for a large group - probably way more than we needed for 5 people and a dog, but we all like our privacy! It's not brand new, so there are signs of wear and tear, but overall it was clean. Note that Sunday evening and Monday are the busiest days of the week at the Harris Teeter, so you may want to bring provisions to get you through that time before having to go shopping - especially things like TP, paper towels, soap, etc. For us, there were limited quantities of those things in the house already, but if we had shown up with a large group it definitely wouldn't have been enough. We did brave the Harris Teeter Sunday (and even ordered a birthday cake for the next day,) so it can be done! Also worth mentioning is the garage, which is available for parking 2 cars, and you get access through the MyQ app. That's also where you find beach chairs, etc. All in all we had a great week.
