This house was big and very nice. Kitchen was extremally well equipped for a large group, nicely decorated, and views of both the ocean and sound from the top floor. Only real house complaint was that it got warm on the second floor but stayed cool on the top floor. One of the bedrooms got really hot at night and you couldn't adjust the air temperature below 70.
However, I wouldn't recommend the company that manages the property. Towels and sheets were not provided, which I found very odd. We rent a vacation house every year (not necessary in OBX) and have never seen that, so I was annoyed at the extra huge cost of renting these items from the realty company since we didn't have room to bring them. To be fair, it was pre advertised. It took them a day and a half after we called to remove a dead bird that was on the porch on our arrival which was gross. We had to book on the realty website after VRBO and pay an extra fee for not booking with them directly. A large deposit was not mentioned in the original listing.
Also, one morning while eating breakfast a random realtor came to the door and asked to show the house! We were NOT told she would be there and we weren't dressed or anything yet. The realtor and her clients seemed pretty upset when I told them they couldn't come inside. It was awkward.
Lots of nice houses in the OBX. I would pick one that wasn't run by Surf or Sound.
