When we searched several sites to find a vacation home for a large family & friends group of 50 guests, of varying ages (4-78), we were quite challenged. When I discovered The Black Stallion and reviewed the gallery of photos, I knew I had found a gem! The pictures do not do this place justice! The rooms are immaculate and more spacious than expected. The kitchen is fully equipped for large meals. The house is located in a secluded cul-de-sac, bordered by thick trees. The young 20 somethings in our party were able to play their music late at night and hang out at the pool as late as they wanted--and the place is so large that the other guests were not disturbed. There's a sound system that can be played throughout the property (indoor and out) in designated areas via bluetooth app. The elevators really came in handy during check in and check out and when transporting food and supplies to the pool house for parties. The location is close to the beach, the Sound, the grocery store, the seafood market, the welcome center for ORV passes, WINGS, etc... and lies within a Golf Resort! We received wrist bands allowing complimentary access to the Currituck Club and all it has to offer--including a shuttle for group trips to the beach, shopping etc. The only place our guests actually had to drive for was a trip to visit Nags Head Pier for fishing. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and ensured that we had all we needed to have a great stay. Annette is truly amazing and was very patient with my constant questions... The only issue we had was with towels... If you're bringing a large group, I'd advise that you bring your own. The linen service crew shows up daily to change out towels that are left in hampers in the laundry rooms (there's one on each floor). I'm not sure if a guest was hoarding towels or what, but each day we had guest who had to launder towels from other guests because they had none. The towels are also not the best quality--so yes, bring your own. All in all, the Black Stallion was the perfect place for what I’m sure will be one of our families most memorable vacations. Our large group has unanimously agreed to return next year!
