I would like to first start by saying that you could hear the ocean from anywhere in the house and at times, even feel the house swaying as if you were right on the waves. The listing seemed a bit misleading though. We thought we were going to have a direct view from the deck but there was a huge sand dune blocking it. The deck itself was in disrepair. My husband stepped on a nail that went through his foot and I stepped on an uneven board. We're both still feeling the pain. We also had a few uninvited guests as we found some cockroaches in the bathroom and kitchen/living room. In going through some of the cabinets we noticed that a couple of the knobs came off in our hands and there are also shelves missing. On the way into Nags Head we saw a few Dollar Generals. It would definitely be worth getting a new pot/pan set and throwing the old ones away. Most of them were dented or just over used and didn't have lids. It would have been nice to be able to open some windows to get fresh air moving through the house, however, they mostly seemed to be sealed shut and the ones we could open needed to be propped up and none of them had screens. The shower had great pressure but the drain, like all the others in the house couldn't take the water and backed up. In addition to the knobs on the kitchen cabinets, the hallway door knob on one of the bedroom doors also came off in our hand every time we tried to close it and the towel rack in the bathroom kept falling out. Also, with central air being one of the amenities, I'm not sure why there was a window until in the bedroom, especially when it blew warm air. There were a few brooms to help with sand, however, one was broken in half and left on the deck. The vacuum was a nice touch, but seemed to have lost it's suction years ago. This was definitely a nice area even if we couldn't see the ocean, however, a few simple maintenance projects, a $70 faucet for the half bath, an exterminator and a deep clean every once in a while would have really made this place stand out.
