We have never stayed in Currituck nor the Outer Banks, so we didn't know what to expect. Based on the photos, we were expecting a bright, more up-to-date home with more modern touches. The home has more of a country vibe, is a little dated and has a bit of that older home musty smell. I went back and looked at the photos to compare and the photos look like they have a filter on to capture less detail and add more light. On the pros side, we loved the large sunroom and that wonderful view of Currituck sound with the resident geese, birds and nature. It was also very peaceful. My husband enjoyed fishing in the backyard and even caught a few bass. If you don't mind older homes with a country feel, you may enjoy this one.
