I had a great stay in this Buxton house. The price was very affordable for a 7 day stay. The booking and check in process was easy although there were a couple extra steps as the house is owned by another rental property, Vacasa. I had a number to text for any questions and response was quick. The house is located in a cul de sac, just a 5 min walk to the beach. The house was very clean when we arrived with plenty of bath towels. We enjoyed the charcoal grill located right behind the house next to the patio stairs. There were a few beach chairs in the storage which came in handy for our beach outings. The kitchen came with plenty of plates, pans, utensils and bowls to prepare a meal. Only suggestion I have is to bring your own seasonings as there are none in the house, not even salt and pepper. I also wish we also knew about the Buxton beach closure. No fault of the house at all and there were plenty of other beaches with public parking we were able to go to. The closure is due to an old Navy station structure that is leaking petroleum I to the water. I didn't see or smell the petroleum during my stay there but I would suggest staying away from that stretch of beach just in case. Haulover Day Use beach entrance and parking was one we visited frequently, just a 5 min drive from the house. I suggest going to Buxton Seafood and buying some fish to grill. We got tuna, shrimp and Mahi Mahi, they were delicious! Hatteras ferry terminal was about 30 min drive to get to Ocracoke - my

Nice house with short walk to beach. Needs a few things in the kitchen but overall a good week. Don’t rent for the pool access, it’s 5 miles away from the house.

My family and I loved this dog friendly beach house! It was very clean and spacious with our huge family and two really big dogs. Plenty of room for all of us. They provided bath towels and toilet paper during our stay. The beach house was close to the beach with just a short 5 minute walk and the warm outdoor shower was great to wash off the little ones after our beach day. Shops, restaurants and food lion grocery store was close to the house and DUCK DONUTS WAS AMAZING!!! The only negitive comment would be that the pool is a 12 minute drive away from this beach house. I wish it was closer but we did make a day of it and the huge pool was wonderful and perfect for the little kids! We will definitely book this beach house again next summer.

The house was lovely, comfortable, and had great views. It was as easily beach accessible as I thought & I never saw a community pool - BUT it was cool & windy for the majority of our trip & these things didn’t matter. Starfish is in a great location as a hub to visit the northern Outer Banks & the Southern Outer Banks. There were plenty of restaurants close by, Food Lion was nearby, & Duck Donuts (yes this is important) was in the shopping center in the Food Lion parking lot. We had a great time during our stay & I especially enjoyed the screened in porch with it’s view of the ocean & the under renovation Hatteras Lighthouse.

Close to the beach, close to all amenities. Clean

Was contacted by property manager about make sure everything was okay. Texted back that the place needed a deep clean. Baseboards dirty, cobwebs on the toilet plungder, windows needed cleaned(had either handprints or (dog) nose prints, railing loose. Sent pictures. Was told we would be contacted the next morning about these issues. No one every call or contacted us. Just a disappointment.

The house is a very spacious unit for a frailly of 7 with room for at least 2-3 more if you wanted. Great spot with a 5 min beach walk, great back deck overlooking the dune/beach area.

The view of the beach was lovely but the screened in porch was heaven. Never too hot to sit outside with ocean breeze and no mosquitoes. Close to town for a short trip to Conner’s Supermarket and a few restaurants. Sandbar was our best meal. Furniture and decor was updated and nice. The beds were comfortable and tvs in every bedroom. The toiletries are severely lacking. Broken but useable coffee pot, no coffee available. No staples provided at all, not even salt and pepper. Nice to have the washer and dryer in the unit. No beach towels or beach use items provided at all. Not acceptable at the price point for a beach home.
