Lovely beach views from the top floor (dining room, living room and kitchen that make you want to do little else.Kitchen should have most people's needs.No need to rent beach equipment, the garage has chairs and a cart won't be useful as you have to climb stairs to the beach.You are just across the street from the beach and there is a pool in the community as well.Folks staying in different sides of the house will have different views on the temperature settings, plan accordingly.If you plan on going birding, there are binoculars in the house. If you go to some of the wildlife refuges, bring extra strength bug repellant, Outdoors Off did not keep the deer flies away. Nor did sun or wind. They are relentless.But a very nice place to stay, central in OBX - you can go North or South, or just stay mesmerized by your window.
