8/10
We had a ton of fun, the house is big and bedrooms/bathrooms suited our needs very well. The hot tub was a great addition and the pool too although it is a little small it was big enough to cool off in. The kitchen was well equipped but we needed a little more seating in the living room. There were 10 of us and only room for five or six on the couches. Another love seat or chairs would be nice. Also, some of the beds were very uncomfortable. If they updated their mattresses we would definitely reconsider!
The walk to the beach is a paved road (about 2 minutes) and no traffic and then a walk through the dunes for about 4-5. It's tougher because there's no built in walkway but that's with keeping a natural feel and our six kids are all over 8 years old so not an issue for us. With little ones or elderly it could be. The beach is fantastic, beautiful, and not a bit crowded! This was our favorite part and the reason why we came! We saw dolphins several days. There are a few restaurants and stores around but when we wanted to go out to dinner or shop we drove down to Avon (about 15 minutes away) which suited us fine. We also spent a whole day in Ocracoke which was worth the drive and the ferry was a lot of fun.
