Loved the pool & hot tub. Loved the walking distance to the fishing pier, beach, laser tag, and Kitty Hawk Kites; where we booked a parasailing excursion in Manteo. I also loved that the accommodations served all 14 family members, there were 2 high chairs and we could eat together as a family.

Location was great! Easy walk to the beach and pier. Plenty of room for the 12 of us. Every bedroom has a bathroom. Well equipped kitchen. A couple of maintenance issues, but overall enjoyed our stay!

Great spot. Great space. Definitely would return.

First for the good. The renting and check in process was easy. The house is HUGE and has more than ample space for a large group of people. It was so nice to have so many bathrooms, and the elevator was great! The game room is great, and we loved having a covered space at the pool. The outdoor furniture is wonderful! On to the not so great...I'd say the finishes and age of the finishes in the home makes it a 2 to MAYBE a 2.5 star hotel experience. Dollar store products (curtain rods/cutains/utencils/small kitchen appliances) used all over the home. The appliances leave a lot to be desired (at least clean the oven and stove top and replace the silver trays around the burners). There are 2 dishwashers that are older, but do work well. The mattresses are bad. They need to be replaced, but I could understand if they can't afford it. Some nice mattress toppers would make a world of difference and could mean families booking again, if they can get a better night sleep. Some general maintenance needs to be addressed. Floor boards and deck boards need to be nailed down...the couches need to be replaced, light bulbs need to be replaced, etc. The blinds are broken and filthy, unfortunately. Lastly, I'll address the cleanliness. The usual spots (kitchen/bathrooms) were cleaned OKAY, but the rest of the home needs to be cleaned MUCH BETTER! There was hair and thick dust on window sills and baseboards. Places that most people wouldn't notice...are now noticeable because of being gross. I mention this because you're charged for a cleaning fee. Another disappointment is the fact that you have to make and strip the beds yourself, and put dishes away that the previous renters leave in the dishwasher. Overall, we did enjoy our stay (Covid might have been part of that), but I don't think we would rent this property again. For the cost, you would expect a 4 star experience (at minimum), but they have got some work to do to get Sapphire Winds to get it to the standards that justify the cost.

This was a nice place to stay if you want a quiet environment. I liked the little community. The only draw back is if you wanted to go on an excursion you would need to drive 30 minutes. House was somewhat clean. Trash was left on the second floor. The door handle was busted on the sliding door on the fourth floor. The table and chairs were kind of dirty. Sink in one of the bathrooms was dirty. Housekeepers took longer than the time allotted, some light bulbs were busted, but once we got over those things it was a good stay. Minor things. It was a nice bed and pillows.

Wonderful house with great amenities. great location.
