Lovely Limey Lookout
If you are in love with quiet surroundings, a beautiful view, and all you need for a comfortable stay for a more than reasonable price, this is your place! If you are looking for a modern, fancy, luxury stay, this is not for you. That being said, our family had such an amazing time bonding over fishing, crabbing, kayaking, and paddleboarding (although the items are old, they are functional). We had wonderful dinners at the large dining table as well as at the kitchen counter together. Cooking was easy as they have just about everything you need to prepare a meal. There is a local market 10 minutes away as well as a Food Lion if you have a large family that needs more choices. Cafe Pamilico is close and has excellent atmosphere, sandwiches and salads. Tavern on12 is close as well and offered decent food for dinner. A few quaint coffee and pastry shops are nearby. There are a lot of steps on this property, so please consider this if you have an older person with you. The house easily sleeps 7 people. The air conditioning works quite well, we were very comfortable sleeping at night. Other than the furniture and decor being outdated, this house was lovely!
We kayaked and paddle boarded quite easily up and down the water alleys of the neighborhood. We walked across the street to the west side to take amazing pictures of the sunset. Off-roading on the beach, Laying in a kayak on the sound, Coffee on the deck and the morning air, and sounds of fish jumping and birds singing were reinvigorating and just what this working mom needed! I would recommend this place to a friend or family. For those who want to do more nightlife or jetskiing etc.. I recommend further north for the OBX. But for those who wish for some quiet R&R as well as easy access to the Ferry to Okracoke or fishing trips, this is it and this home was the perfect stay for us.
