We usually vacation in OBX but wanted something closer this year. The duplex was clean and wonderfully decorated. The photography and art was tasteful, the air conditioning was excellent, and the view of the bay and sunrise beautiful!We saw the ponies in the bay onmultiple days and a dolphin our last morning. It felt like home and we didn’t want to leave! Our only complaint would be the beds and poor communication with Harbour rentals. The beds were hard and uncomfortable and we had to reach out to the rental company for information prior to our trip because none of the details were available to us in the Vrbo app They promptly and courteously emailed back but gave us incorrect information. They told us to bring pillowcases and linens but did not mention we needed to bring pillows, paper goods, dishcloths, hand towels and soap. It may have been in the contract initially signed but that was ages ago when we booked (and we didn’t remember) so we reached out by email before coming down and unfortunately we're not given all/correct details. Thankfully, we brought our own pillows and paper goods (we’ve been Vrbo’ing for years so not our first rodeo) but it would have been upsetting to arrive without them available; I mention so others are aware. Thank you, Terry, for sharing your home with the Rice family! It as a blessing to us and we made wonderful memories there!😊
