Had a great 2 week R&R stay at this property in early May, with the OBX having creeped onto the 2021 travel bucket list during the 2020 Covid shutdowns. Pictures and descriptions on this were accurate -- previously cited issues regarding internet and HVAC appear resolved, as wifi was fast and dependable during our stay, and a touch of AC was nice on a few warm humid evenings. While there aren't many reviews on this site yet, as this rental company is newer to the area, this property has been rented for many years, with guest book entries dating to at least 2013, and lots of happy and satisfied loyal renters. The location is in a relatively quiet part of Frisco, which itself was very low-key in May. The view of the sound is awesome, and sunsets (we got lucky, with mainly sunny weather) from the upper deck porch or the private boardwalk leading down to the water's edge were spectacular. Mosquitos weren't yet out in force, but the screened porches of this house would be golden in summer and early fall. Gas grill worked well. Furnishings were basic but sturdy and comfortable, appropriate for a beach house, and the open kitchen/LR concept was nice. Not a ton of restaurants nearby, so self-catering made sense. This house has stair lifts, and while we didn't need that feature, it would certainly be a draw for anyone with a stair-climbing disability. Paddle boards and kayaks were available, although it was too windy to use them most days. The neighborhood has a common dock and small boat launch site, with a shallow waterway to the sound (saw people using jet skis one day). Would definitely return for a shoulder season stay, to avoid peak summer crowds. The pipeline gas shortage deserves a shout-out, added an element of anticipation for the drive home.
A note about the wind: residents and frequent visitors of the OBX know this implicitly (we hadn't been in more than a decade, so had forgotten about the wind) -- the wind speed can play a huge role in outdoor comfort level and activities here. Being soundfront, and we had near-constant wind, ranging from slight puffs (perfect!) to 35mph+ gusts (too windy to even sit outside) during our stay. I think this is the case in most parts of the OBX and isn't necessarily unique to Frisco. There was a small legion of colorful kite surfers capitalizing on the wind most every day in the sound, and if you're into kite surfing, this is an ideal spot for it.
