The house has everything a large family group of all ages could need or want. The pool, the movie theater, the game room, the multiple kitchens and multiple washer/dryers and dishwashers made cooking and cleaning a snap. The views from all sides of the house are spectacular; sunset over the sound and endless beach and sky over the ocean. The third floor great room was our dining, game playing and congregating space. The house was spotlessly clean and the rental agency responded to our requests promptly. Best family vacation we ever took. One negative: Saturday is âturnover dayâ and the road onto the Outer Banks and on the OB is terrible congested. Adds hours to the trip.
