This was the first time my daughters have been to the Hatteras portion of the outdoor banks. We all loved the quiet, “local” vibe of the area, plus we were a four minute walk from the beach! The house was immaculate, well stocked with what we needed in the kitchen, and there were plenty of towels and beach equipment. Our only concern/complaint was the hard as a rock mattress in each bedroom. My 14YO joked that it was really just two box springs on top of each other. It was bad enough that I did let Vacasa know of the issue. I suggested that the owners invest in pillow tops for the beds, as this is considerably cheaper than new mattresses. As much as I loved the house, I probably wouldn’t stay an entire week due to the uncomfortable sleeping situation.
