Virginia Comfort

It's been a long time coming, but I can officially say that our family is now the proud owner's of the "Virginia Comfort". That would be our beach house down in the Outer Banks. Every house has their own name, and I'm pretty sure that's what we've decided on. Today is finally Closing Day!

My family and I have always gone down to the Outer Banks every summer since I was a kid, without fail. We always stayed in my Great Aunt's house down at the 4.5 mile post. This year we saw that the house beside hers was for sale. That immediately sparked our interest, and we began taking a look at it and putting in an offer.  That deal fell through because the people wanted far more than we were willing to pay, seeing as how it needed a lot of work done structurally. My Mom was determined at that point that we were going to get a beach house, so we started looking up other properties online. We have had an amazing Realtor who has definitely steered us through some not so great properties, to the one we are closing on today. I couldn't be happier with the one we chose and get to call ours! It's perfect size for us with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. It has a really big screened in porch on the front of the house, where I can see us spending a many of nights out there. Above the screened in porch, we also have a sun deck... how freaking cool! I don't have too many pictures of the house yet, but I will be sure to get some next week while we are there for Thanksgiving.

Until then, here is "Virginia Comfort".

Finally got the keys! 

She is no longer "Star of the Sea".
And that ugly management sign is getting taken down!

The beach right across the street from our house!

The first of many times relaxing in the ocean down there at the new place!

Oh, and by the way, she is available to rent out! So if you need some relaxation time, or a nice get away with the family, or just some time at the beach... ask for pricing and availability! You just can't take my Thanksgiving away from me this year! :)
