This is a picture of the house from the front.
There was more off to the right but the battery on my phone gave out and I wasn't able to get more pictures. It was also why they didn't get posted at the time as I somewhat forgot about needing to upload them.
It was a really cool display and the couple was out front greating everyone. They start putting things up in September and they have it on from Thanksgiving 'til New Years. They said that they usually have it all taken down by the 10th of January. When they started it they were able to store everything in the area under the house (houses in OBX are on stilts with sheds built under them due to the chance of high water) but a few years ago they had to start renting a storage unit to keep it all. They had no idea how many lights there are but they encourage anyone that wants to count them to come out and have fun. They also don't have a map of the layout as it changes every year based on their mood and a bit on what items might have been damaged during storage, use or transport. They also give out candy canes and other treats for the kids and while they don't charge anything for the display they appreciate any donations they get. I can understand that as I am sure their electric meter probably looks about like the one on the Griswald house in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.
