Island Times is the perfect vacation home for our family of 5 + 1 Golden Retriever. We have visited many of the east coast beaches, but this is the only home we've visited in back to back years. It's not overly fancy, but it is exactly what a beach house should be; clean, comfortable, well equipped and perfectly sistuated. I spent the whole winter looking for homes that have better amenities and I have to say Island Times may be the best value out there. You can't find too many 4 bedroom homes in this price range that are this close the beach, with a pool, hot tub, etc. (Don't get me wrong, prices have gotten outrageous, but so have prices for everything else.) While it's not beach front, it is a very short walk to the beach and the pier where my son fished all week long. It may even be a shorter walk to the beach than some beach front homes we've stayed in. Bedrooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could ask for to cook at home. The pool is large and there are decks at every level to either take in or get out of the sun. Perfect for Us!
Little Nit Picks
As anyone who's been to the Outerbanks understands it is always windy. Because of this, and the fact that 5 people are using it daily, the pool gets pretty dirty by the end of the week. The owner does have a net that we used daily, but it would be great to have a mid week cleaning or some other way for renters to keep the pool clean.
