Fabulous Vacation at Shell of a Good Time
Great location and great time of year to be in the OBX. Property has excellent amenities for teenagers. 30 seconds to the beach for walks between Jeanette and OBX Fishing Piers and to enjoy the sunrise. Will definitely seek to stay again! Resort Realty was great! Thank you for a wonderful OBX experience.
