There were 16 of us & we had plenty of space. The kitchen & living room are beautiful & the heart of the house. One issue was 1 of the large burners on the stove didn’t work & the oven would not heat up over 325 degrees. I am sure they will replace it but it did make cooking for 16 people a bit challenging. We had to change what we prepared. The house is right on the beach but note that the sand gets super hot in the afternoon. Also, if you are not used to climbing a lot of stairs it can be difficult for you. The cleaning people could do a better job for what it costs to clean. Overall a great trip. I like rent this house again. ![House from the water ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/79b53c4a-b7b1-4891-9423-deb7d578223b-1754909854799.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christine M.

Beautiful house fit my family of 9 perfect. Very clean all rooms had view of ocean, beds very comfy kitchen had everything we needed. However on day two AC went out and hostess was very quick to respond but we got two window AC but really didn't help at all considering the size of house stayed 75 to 80 in the living and kitchen area I reported it on day one and AC guy was supposed to fix it stayed 6 days and still had not been fixed, the gas grill was very dirty with food, and might want to check the deck banisters. We had a great time but for the price that I paid I just wanted to mention this especially the AC. ##### Shelia M.

This house is right on the beach, no dune to cross, no road, RIGHT ON THE BEACH. We say ocean life everyday including a whale at one point! Great location only minutes from fast food, better restaurants, Food Lion, mini golf, and more more more. Without hesitations I would recommend this house. We went each of the last two years and stayed here and if ever in OBX again we will try to stay there again. ##### chris b. ### 8/10 Good #### Pat J. 4 May 2018 #### Beautiful Home Best Ever Location We had a wonderful vacation in this amazing location. The beach was beautiful, the house layout was great. Plenty of space, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen with decks overlooking and close to the water. The hot tub was fantastic at the end of a beach day or just anytime. The panoramic view from the living area could not have been better. The only not perfect part was just a few minor issues - sand in one bed, coffee maker not so clean. Overall I would highly recommend this house. ##### Pat J.

Waking up and going to sleep to the sounds of the ocean was soothing and breathtaking. The location to access to the beach was also a beautiful experience. Each bedroom had its own bathroom and the middle floor bedrooms had private access to the balcony overlooking the beach. The manager of the property was wonderful and made sure our stay was awesome. I would recommend this property a thousand times over. Our party of 12 adults were comfortable and we felt at home. ##### Talisha M.

We were a little disappointed with the lack of a few basic items like extra blankets, throw blankets, coffee filters, trash bags, cooking oil and basic spices like salt, pepper, etc. Those few extras would have made the place much cozier. ##### Julie R.

There was plenty of room for the 12 of us. There were several minor issues, a broken shower head, a broken tile in the kitchen but nothing that interfered with our vacation. We lost internet and TV for almost 24 hours but not the fault of the owner. ##### Anita M.

The Pompous Pelican is a wonderful house. Everything was clean and ready for us. Plenty of space for me, the misses and our pup. Spectacular, unblocked view of the ocean from the top floor… even better from the deck! Note: the photos show a walkway directly to the beach. This is now filled in by a 6’ high sand dune. We were able to climb over it to get to the beach but used the public beach access to return home. Overall, 5 stars. ##### Dennis B.

Hot tub was a nice amenity for rainy days. Large open central space on third floor, and surrounding decks on two stories were wonderful. Ground floor with hot tub also has enough space under cover for cooking on grill and serving family meals. One AC unit needed to be serviced, but the property manager was responsive and working on it. We would return! ##### Julie R.
