Our stay at this hidden gem on Bells Island was nothing short of magical. Tucked away right on the shores of the Currituck Sound, this VRBO provided the ultimate peaceful coastal escape. If you are looking to trade crowded beaches for undisturbed tranquility, this is the perfect destination.The highlight of the home was undoubtedly its expansive back deck and private dock. We spent our mornings sipping coffee as the mist lifted off the calm water, and our evenings captivated by spectacular, unobstructed sunset views that painted the sky in brilliant hues of orange and pink. The Sound's shallow, gentle waters made it incredibly easy to launch kayaks and paddleboards right from the property, offering hours of effortless outdoor fun.Crabbing from the dock with 2- provided crab traps and 5 collapsible crab traps I purchased provided us with approximately 12 blue claw crabs per day. What crab boils we had!Inside, the house was immaculate, spacious, and thoughtfully designed to maximize the stunning waterfront backdrop. Large windows flooded the living space with natural light, ensuring we never missed a view. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking family meals, and the beds were exceptionally comfortable after long days spent out in the sun.While the property felt wonderfully secluded and quiet, it was comforting to know that local seafood spots, grocery stores and the outer banks (OBX) were just a short drive away. We truly received the best of both worlds
