We have made one-week vacation stays in numerous rental properties on the Outer Banks over the past forty plus years, and after our most recent stay, this home would now certainly rank as one of our favorites. The property is well equipped, is tastefully decorated, and gives every impression that providing useful amenities together with a high level of care and maintenance is important to the owners. The appliances, furniture, electronics, deck furniture, and grill are all relatively new and in excellent condition. The rear of the property where the amply-sized private pool is located does border Highway 12, and some traffic sounds can be overheard, but the fencing and well landscaped yard which is surrounded by beautiful pine trees and other vegetation affords a real sense of privacy and distance from other nearby homes. The pool area is one of the strongest features of this home. While neither the front nor back decks offer ocean or sound views, both locations are within easy walking distance. When given the opportunity we would certainly stay at "Seagull's French Fry" again, and would also recommend it to friends and family.
