We had an incredible time at Observation Point. The weather was perfect the entire week, and we got to enjoy it to the fullest.
The home is cozy- keeping in mind that both bathrooms are through bedrooms. It is a well stocked rental, the only thing it lacks is a big crab pot! 😉 The dock and hammock are perfection, and the showers didn’t run cold. Important when everyone is coming in to wash up! Our only drawback is the squealing sliding door to the outside, and not being able to use the other set of doors. (We have a night shift worker in our family, so this was a more important factor for us.) Overall that’s the ONLY drawback for us. It could be a far worse issue, so I don’t even want to call it a complaint. Just a factor. We do wish there had been dishwasher soap, but there was regular hand washing soap. We left a trash bag,, some TP, laundry pods, dryer sheets, and an entire bag of dishwashing pods. I hope everyone enjoys those! (Seriously, it was no accident.)
We spent every evening on the dock- after an application of STRONG mosquito repellent. The darkness, solitude, peace and quiet were exactly what we needed.
I am a photographer, and took 1000 pictures over the week- of the sound, of the dock- and even the stars! The stars were one of the highlights of the trip for me, and I finally got to photograph those as well. This is the best I’ve ever seen them.
Our boys both loved it here and would’ve stayed forever, even if they had to share a room again! (We asked.) I did forget the sheets and had to buy them- Ace hardware people! Asked a local… we appreciated the extra set of kin sheets for use.
Overall the trip was one of the best we have ever been able to take, and we can’t wait to return to Hatteras, as always. This location offers a million dollar view of the sound; it was just the rejuvenation we needed as a family,. I only wish we were blessed with a home such as this. It may not be the largest or newest house on the block, but it has some soul to it. I love how secluded it is way back in there, and the Cora Tree was a happy surprise too. You won’t regret your stay here. Thank you for the wonderful week.
