10/10
This is an older home, NOT one of the many McMansion beach houses you will see in the neighborhood, but it IS a great, old-school beach house. It was just what we were looking for, especially because it was dog-friendly.
Upsides: great location on the Outer Banks, amazing private beach access with a wooden walkway and gate, great outdoor lounging options with a number of decks and a screened-in porch, a wonderful living/dining/hang out space in which everyone could be together while still doing their own thing, great appliances (a double oven!), plenty of parking for our needs. Downside: we rented both the house and the lower rooms, and one of those rooms obviously hadn't been rented in a while because it was very dusty and mildew-y. It definitely hadn't been cleaned in some time,. We had thought to bring
cleaning supplies with us, so we cleaned it ourselves and then left the windows open to air out the musty smell. If you have allergies or sensitivities, you won't want to sleep in the basement rooms. For the rest of the house, the cleaning was OK but we did find some sand on a table top or two.
It is an older house, so as long as you set your expectations accordingly, you will love it. We have reserved it for next year already!
