House was nice. First rental on Hatteras Island that didn’t have games, puzzles, cards or books, which we did miss. Overall great week.

This was a perfect location, fishing in the back yard, short walk to the beach and a pool right there. All questions were answered with in mins. Plenty of space for our party of 12 to spread out for our private time as well as gather to cut up, laugh, play games and eat on the top floor. Thought the tvs would be a plus but our party of 12 did not really turn them on. We enjoyed this place and everything it had to offer.

Overall our stay was amazing. This place is perfect. The best of everything. Not to bad of a walk to the beach, fishing and paddle boarding in the back yard and of course the pool and hot tub for relaxing. We had space is someone wanted quiet time away from others. When we were inside we all spent most our time in the main area, so much room for all 12 of us to sit, eat, talk and cut up.

A place for fishing.
Here are the pros and con: Pros: We choose this location bc it was the closest to Bonner’s Bridge. For a fishing trip with a bunch guys, it was perfect. You can literally kayak in your back yard. Catch crabs. The place was clean and easy access to a lot of places. Has everything you need. Even has a kick back place that has a pool set. Washer and dryer! General dollar was 3-5 mins away. Cons: Mosquitoes heaven!!! Since the house is next to a bunch of wet grass and water… 1000s of hungry mosquitoes are everywhere. As soon as you get out of your car, these little boogers are there to get you. That mean, the house has a bunch of them. They bite through your clothes. There’s no elevator. Good amount of stairs outside and inside. Overall: we would stay again. Next time we’ll bring bug spray or even those candles that makes bugs go away.

Christopher, thank you for sharing your experience, we're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and that our home's location served you well! It's also great to know that you found it clean and well-appointed and that you'd stay here again-- we'd love to have you. We're sorry you encountered mosquitoes but as you noted, the location tends to draw them and we're glad this did not detract from your overall experience. We enjoyed having you as our guest and we hope to host you again soon.
