Guest Review:"This was our third time renting from Beach Realty and the personnel have always been very friendly and helpful each time we have worked with them. We loved the house in Whalehead Beach and it was a perfect location; very close to everything. We especially loved being so close to the grocery store. We liked how large the neighborhood was with lots of long straight streets for walking, running and riding bikes each morning. Although we were not beach front we had awesome ocean views and could hear the waves while sitting on the deck enjoying our morning coffee. The house was extremely clean and very comfortable. Our family had a wonderful laid back time. We enjoyed the various local eateries each evening and especially enjoyed the Currituck Lighthouse as well as the sound boardwalk in Duck in the evening. We will definitely be back next year perhaps in September when it is still warm but is less crowded." Outside: Park Grill, Basketball Goal, Picnic Table.  Ground Level: Washer and Dryer.
