We were a party of 8 adults, 3,4,8-year-olds and two 9-month-olds. House was big enough, so the 9-month-olds had their own rooms which provided parents a good night sleep. The Sunsets were breathtaking, and the house had high end furnishings, appliances and kitchen was equipped with everything except an air fryer. I would rent this house again. A beach wagon was very helpful as the walk to the beach seemed long since it was so humid. A golf cart would be ideal, however, there is no parking near the beach for golf carts. We did drop off and pick up.

Amazing house. Appointed very well. Views of the sound are breathtaking. Short walk to shops and options to eat. Everything we needed was there. The house was very clean and laid out beautifully. Our large family really enjoyed this home and would definitely rent it again! One recommendation would be to rent a golf cart to get around easier. We did this and it was a great addition!

We absolutely enjoyed everything about this house. Very comfortable living areas and nicely appointed bedrooms. The house was light and airy! We loved watching sunsets over the sound every night. The adult kids used the stairs to street as a shortcut to getting into Duck!
We rented a golf cart which helped get our gear to the beach.
We would love to return to this house again soon!

This property is located in a perfect spot with spectacular views of the water and is beautifully furnished and appointed in every way. The pool and patio are also a great place to be along with the many decks !!
