Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is large and in a great location but we complained about the hot tub not working every day of our stay. Rental company did not respond until I escalated level of complaint and then the hot tub guy showed up on the last day and could not fix the hot tub. The pool was also dirty. I don't think I should have to be rude in order to get someone to pay attention. For the $$$, I expected more.

The house is a bit more dated than some we have stayed in, but it was clean, perfectly functional and the location was awesome. Steps from the beach and a short walk or drive to most anything you need. We loved the number of bathrooms, including the bathroom out by the pool which worked great for beach/pool potty breaks. We had a dog with us and the space was great for him. The fenced pool area was perfect for a pet. We would have loved to have a second fridge on the kitchen level, but we made things work. The views of the ocean from the top deck were a morning and evening must for our crew. For the group we had (15 at the peak) there was ample space to be together and get away to one of the sitting areas if needed. This is a spot we would stay in again.

They have made many changes which make the property more desirable. Such as improved furniture, new washer, a new walkway to the new dune deck and replacing the 80's wallpaper with clean white paint. It's a very nice house. My family of 11 had plenty of room to spread out. The management really dropped the ball on the AC! When we arrived, we discovered only one of the three units was producing properly. No excuse for not having addressed the situation. No way could an inspection by management have missed the disaster about to happen. One unit was completely rotted away. I've never seen anything like it. Would love to share a picture - completely corroded. I called BR at 9 on Mon morning and they had a maintenance guy there within an hour and he had an HVAC guy there in another hour. Unfortunately the systems were too far gone for repair. They installed multiple window units by 5 that afternoon. Not a good situation but better than enduring the 95 plus heat. Praise for quick response. Not so much for allowing the situation to occur. The pool gets a lot of sand when it rains - washing down from the dune. It was clean when we arrived so obviously this is a continual problem. The kitchen could be better supplied. There are lots of plates but only heavy, breakable glasses (had to go for solo cups for the kids.) Dozens of old steak knives but severely lacking in tableware. Ice maker doesn't work. Stove not the best. Provided linens and towels are surprisingly nice. Location is excellent. Service and response was excellent. Our family had a good week enjoying the beach, pool and area. (Even the local urgent care was excellent which we unfortunatley had to visit - twice!) Would recommend!

It would have been perfect if the pool had been cleaned more than once for the fourteen days we were there. The location is perfect for many activities and great restaurants.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time at An American Dream! The house was expansive and set up well for a crowd much larger than ours. I would warn though for any older renters- the walk down the dunes to get to the beach is very steep and coming back up is tough! Would be nice to have a hand rail or something to help you as you sink into the sand and can fall. Some of the mattresses need to be replaced also but overall a big win for us and our family!

We stayed for 2 weeks in early October and the house was the perfect place to stay during our visit. The location is great - set back from Hwy 12 and a private walkway to the beach was wonderful. Our dogs loved running in the sand pit in the pool area, and the decks overlooking the ocean were a beautiful place to watch the sunrise. Very convenient location that’s close enough to walk/ride bikes to the grocery store, coffee, both Swellsa and Outer Banks Brewing Station, and lots of restaurants. It would be a great choice for a larger group as there are large common areas for everyone to gather, but also multiple sitting rooms so people can spread out and do their own thing. The mattress in the upstairs king master could use updating, and the hot tub was in a bit of disrepair - it was hot so it served its purpose, but the controls aren’t fully functional so adjusting temp and turning on the jets was generally not possible. There wasn’t a full set of measuring cups/spoons in the kitchen so we left some for future guests to use. Everything else was fantastic!

Reviewer Comments: The house was very nice we had no problem with cleanliness the only problem was the jets in the hot tub did not work and the pool was never cleaned had a lot of sand in it. The patio out side had a lot of sand also so I found a shovel and cleaned it myself. Other than that it was great I would use the property again.
