We Mom and Dad, 15yr old son and friend and 19yr old daughter and friend, just returned from our vacation and enjoyed this house a lot. The pool was a great amenity on rainy days or when beach was rough. Interior of the house is nice but older but we didn't go to the beach to sit in the house. Living room/kitchen is a nice open area and great for gathering for dinner or a little family time. The bathrooms are jack and jill style which probably wouldn't work in all situations but for us it was fine. Walls were fairly thin so when the girls decided to have midnight conversations you could hear muffled voices but not too bad. The pool area was awesome nice little sitting area and the kids were able to turn the radio on and play in the pool while we were making dinner. The tile did get slick as expected when water was splashed out but as long as you walk its no problem. There was also an additional fridge in the pool area for storage or quick access to drinks. All the decks were great, they were all in beach condition so a little rough surface but sturdy. My only real negative, the pond should not be advertised as a pond it is only about 6-8" deep with only bait fish(minnows) and some small crabs. I was looking forward to fishing and letting the boys fish but that didn't happen. Also due to the low lying water in the area there were several days the mosquito's were rough, take lots of good bug spray thermacell didn't work due to ocean breeze. But all and all great house great area and we enjoyed our time there. The boys rode bikes all around the town to the shops and too the beach so they could come and go as they pleased giving them a little freedom they really enjoyed. The parking lot at the beach was a couple minute drive away and usually had a spot around 10am after that it was hit or miss. My opinion is this is a perfect house for fishing groups as they said or if you have ever camped stayed in a cabin this house is great if your looking for one of those massive brand new beach front home this house is probably not for you.

We are glad you had a good time at the beach. Wild N Wonderful is an affordable beach box on Hatteras with a pool. The mosquitos are a part of Hatteras Island more so after we have rain. The county does spray to keep them controlled. Hope to see you at the beach next year!
