As first-time visitors to OBX, this apartment was perfect. Clean, quiet neighborhood, close to Wright Brothers Memorial, maintained beaches, good restaurants. It is midway between the northern and southern ends of the coastal barrier. If you don't have a large vehicle, take an easy-assemble sun tarp for the beach, instead of planning to use the large beach umbrella provided. Be sure to visit the 4 lighthouses, the sunset at NC Grill in Duck, the coffee shop in the plaza nearby, and breakfast at Stack Em High.
