Summary: This was a spectacular visit to the OBX! The house was clean and beautiful all around. The coffee/tea bar was exquisite and the hot tub was lovely after a long day of fun/physical recreation. Our hosts were attentive, kind, and resourceful. Their communication was top notch! We couldn’t be happier. We recommend this vacation home to anyone. Hope to be back and visit again in the near future!
