Between my family and my sister's, we had 4 adults and 4 children stay at the house. It was the perfect size to accommodate our large group. This was our first time to the Outer Banks and we didn't know much about the area. Based on comparisions, this was simply the best property offered in this price range with accessibility to the beach, size, and shared living area. We were not disappointed!
We loved how quiet & relaxing the beach was. It was easy enough for our toddler to walk to and from at the end of the driveway. Being able to come and go throughout the day, without making it a huge production, was a must! The neighborhood is really charming and quiet. There are tons of side streets to go for walks/runs and the beach is really easy to walk/run along as well.
Being from NYS, Lisa's around the corner had amazing pizza. Their salads are also amazing!
Hattaras is easy to drive down to and explore the lighthouse (for free and with family-friendly educational presentations) and I highly recommend Diamond Shoals for seafood in Buxton.
It's also an easy drive up to Nags Head for shopping, events, golfing, and other attractions. Manteo has an aquarium, but make sure you reserve a time slot to go. We recommend Salt Coast Outfitters for any OBX gear/souvenirs.
Cassandra and Phil were very responsive and kind hosts. They helped make it a great experience. It was such a fun time that we definitely want to return!
