This was our first time going to NC and we loved it. It was fall break for our 5 year old, so we planned a family trip. It was my husband, myself, our son, my dad, my brother and his girlfriend. Everything was wonderful! The beds and couch were very comfortable! The kitchen has everything you need...I even brought stuff to do some baking, per my brothers request, and there were pmenty of kitchen supplies to get it done. They had both a keurig and a coffee pot, so plenty of options for caffeination. The pool, slide and hot tub were amazing. We ran into a couple issues where the pump/heater weren't working when we went to get in, but Eric was so responsive and got the issue resolved immediately. It was great having the garage to store our beach stuff and the hoses to rinse everything off after. Not having to worry about a key/card for the main door was so convenient also. The only thing I could have asked for was to stay longer because it was just wonderful to be on vacation at such an immaculate house, a beautiful beach and with everything you could need just a walk or 10 min drive away. Also, get your legs in shape for stairs...there are lots of stairs, especially if you aren't sleeping on the main level.
