My family of ten, which included six adults and four children under the age of fourteen, spent a beautiful sunny week at this Ocean Isle beachfront house.
The positives:
• The house is directly oceanfront with unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean and easy beach access via a private walkway to the beach.
• The house has a lovely, well-furnished outdoor seating area off the kitchen and living room and a similar seating area on the second floor.
• The kitchen has been updated and is well-equipped to prepare almost any meal at home. The dining room looking out to the ocean, seats eight comfortably.
• The bedrooms are large, and the furniture/bedding was good.
• The house was super clean.
I would describe the home as a vintage beachfront property that needs a little TLC upgrade. The carpet in the living room is stained, and the carpets throughout the rest of the house are dated. While clean, the bathrooms (specifically the showers) probably need an upgrade. They look like original showers from the early 1990s. The shower heads in all the bathrooms need replacement. The outdoor grill, while working, is badly in need of replacement.
Overall, we had an excellent stay. Again, I think a little TLC will go a long way to make this property pristine.
One other point. The houses which line the beachfront in this area are no more than 30 yards from each other. We never felt our privacy was an issue, but beware of the potential for late-night loud outdoor music and parties fr
