Clean and Close to Everything

This house was very clean. It's a lot closer to the ocean than described which was a pleasant surprise. All but one bedroom had a private bathroom - another perk. Close to Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, restaurants, bait shops and both grocery stores (FL and Conners). Only downfall was the lack of kitchen essentials - only 2 silicone potholders and low quality pots/pans. We made the best of it and came prepared after reading other reviews. Again, it was very clean which is a sticking point for me.

Nice home steps from beach

Spacious home with nice views of the ocean. Good place for families with pets. Right next to the pool/ hottub that is shared with other houses.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It’s always a pleasure to be back at Lighthouse View that’s our home away from home. This year was a little bit different as the beach replenishment was going on, but so glad to see that the beach has been restored.
