Our large family (10 adults/8 kids) stayed and Ocean's Grace and the consensus was that it was the nicest house we've stayed at. Great location (an easy walk to the beach access). Great open space on the top floor and easily accommodated our large family. A few of the other noteworthy pluses: - Nicely equipped kitchen, including two dishwashers and two coffee makers - Plenty of seating for large family meals - Great wrap around decks on all floors - Large pool easily accommodated our large party - Great beach, although it was the 4th of July week, the beach never felt crowded. I do suggest getting there by 9:00 or 10:00 if you'd like a spot close to the access point) - Two large gas BBQs and an extra charcoal BBQ easily handled our large meals - Very nice outdoor furniture by the pool and on the wrap around decks A few minor negatives: - Cleaning crew could have done a better job. Not dirty, but did note a few issues (some of the furniture hadn't been dusted in awhile and there was dog hair on the kitchen floor) - A few maintenance issue that should be addressed - While the pool was great, expect full sun throughout the day. There is covered seating outside the pool.

I would definitely recommend this property to friends. Great location and great and comfortable place to spend vacation.

Our family goes to OBX every other year for vacation and we have stayed in many different homes. This home was truly wonderful, the location, size of the home, pool, hot tub, etc. The great room on the top floor is huge! The pictures are true to life. The couch and two chairs on the main floor could use some updating and shade reduction curtains in the front of the house would be nice as the mornings get bright. We would definitely rent this home again!
