We had a great week staying in this house. There was a lot of space for everyone and the location was excellent. We could see Jennette's Pier from the house and even walked there along the beach one afternoon. The views were great and the house was warm and welcoming. Sunrise views were amazing and there were even dolphins feeding along the shore most mornings. In the off season it was quiet and peaceful. There is a public beach access right next to the house, which could lead to a lot of traffic during the busy months.
A couple things to be aware of before you rent...
The hot tub is NOT located on the middle deck as pictured. This was a huge selling point for us to be able to sit in the hot tub and see the ocean. It was actually a huge selling feature when we made our house rental pick - my husband and I were hoping we could walk out our bedroom door to the hot tub and the ocean, but when we arrived, the hot tub was actually on the ground floor near the pool. It was still nice, but not what we were expecting. The photos should be updated.
The listing also said there was a fully stocked kitchen. We have rented houses from VRBO several times. When a house is listed like this it has always included paper towel, dish soap, napkins, tissues, etc. We were very disappointed when we arrived to find there was one roll of paper towel and one roll of toilet paper for each bathroom, and that was it. On our 2nd day we needed to make a grocery store run to get paper towel, napkins, dish soap, dish washer detergent, facial tissues, tin foil, and garbage bags. Had I known the house did not have these items I could have brought some from home instead of needing to disrupt our vacation with a store run.
Other than those two things, everything was great! I would rent this house again if we were traveling to OBX in the off season!
