We had a great time at the Mad Hatteras! We rented it with another family. We had ample space for all of us. We loved the access to the beach and the quick drive to lots of places of interest.

Love the stairs and purple carpet. The outside shower is awesome
Location is great! Hot tub and deck were nice. Kitchen needed some extra supplies and tlc and there were some ants and it got a bit hot at night in sleeping areas. Close to beach and we loved the outdoor showers. Good for families that don’t want to stress about keeping everything pristine all the time.
