[quote=Anonymous]I agree with others that the beach access is not that great. Those who have been there know you don't just walk between houses onto the beach. You will not have access to the private paths from the beachfront homes and there is a steep dune that makes it essentially impossible to walk between houses onto the beach. You will need to use a public beach access with stairs, which is either 6 houses away to the left, or 7 houses away to the right. IMO, the house is nice for the area but overpriced.

I like visiting OBX but I could never stomach owning a home there. The weather is nuts and houses are seriously damaged all the time by hurricanes and storm surges. Just maintenance costs alone will negate any income from seasonal rentals. I have been in that area and that road is almost completely covered in sand after a storm. I have always wondered how they clear it off. I have seen oceanfront houses with swimming pools completely filled with sand. I would lose my mind trying to maintain a house there.
