I have stayed in the Outer banks more than a dozen times and enjoyed many lovely homes there. This particular house was well decorated and provided the expected necessities. The pool was nice and clean, and the walk to the beach was easy. However the steep, curvy driveway was a definite hazard and totally unexpected. Every time we backed out (no room to turn around) our cars veered off into an overgrown drop- off! The house was not clean by any measure. We found several dead mice and droppings in the garage where the beach chairs/umbrella were stored, as well as water running from the ceiling, and did notify the agency. They did say they fixed the leak, but did nothing about the mice or droppings, which were scattered about the garage. There were blood stains on the dust ruffle and nearby carpeting in the 3rd floor bedroom. The showers/ Jacuzzis in this room and one on the second floor had a high, narrow step that was dangerous to use, especially for children. There were also dead insects scattered on the carpeting throughout the house. This property could use improvements.
