Loved this rental and vacation SO MUCH!! It was even better than advertised but the things you really need to be aware of - that it's a 3rd floor walk up, that you need to bring your own linens and towels - were just as advertised so we were thrilled. I went with a friend and it was perfect for us, but it would be even more ideal for a couple with a kid or 2, just becauseof the condo's layout. We loved how close it was to the beach!! And if you enjoy walking, which we love, you can walk almost everywhere you need or want to go. I walked miles of beach, all over the amazing town of Duck with all its cute and inviting shops, all along the breathtaking boardwalk, plus within 45 min we were able to go hiking and find nature trails, etc. There are restaurants and live music, an outdoor tap room and a phenomenal fish market right in Duck if you like to cook. The condo afforded us everything we needed to have an incredible vacation and maximize our first time in OBX. The condo is beautiful, clean, bright and modern and to be able to eat or drink coffee on the deck overlooking the ocean is worth every penny. Jen, our host, was friendly, helpful and super responsive. All in all A+++.
