There is A LOT wrong with this house. It's falling apart - the stairs are rickety, the scenes in porch screen is busted, the fob for on the porch is drooping (not safe at all), the walls and ceilings have water stains, the entire house is *gross* - it clearly has been cleaned never. We had to wash the bathtub to be able to take a bath because it was so disgusting. Our feet turned black walking in the house. The downstairs area smells like mold so we were glad we didn't need those beds. There wasn't enough plates, forks, etc for us (we only had 6 people).
BUT the location is AMAZING, it's a quick walk to the beach, the path is right across the street, once the stairs are added (we think by the city or state) to the beach it will be easy getting down and back over the dunes too. It's in a very safe area, at the end of the street and we felt comfortable with our kids crossing by themselves. The beds are comfortable in the 3 upstairs bedrooms, sheets were provided (no towels though), lots of pillows. The furniture is ok enough for a beach house and all the appliances worked (stove/ oven looked new). The beach in Hatteras is gorgeous - nice and, warm water, plenty of waves.
Overall would I stay at this house again? Probably not unless they did some major cleaning and fixed the screened porch area. But I would stay in the Hatteras area again for sure.
