The views from this house are spectacular!! However for the price it was very disappointing that there was no grill, no cushions on lounge chair on the deck, no beach chairs, almost no games. The upstairs bathroom door does not latch. Overall the house is very dated.

The house sits on the beach in a nice secluded area. The aquarium is nearby and grocery and restaurants are a short drive. The house is visibly old and worn. The deck has been partially redone and the TV is new. But the flooring is loose and overall it just feels worn down. Beds and appliances are fine. There was nothing supplied with the house except salt and pepper. No supplies at all. Bring everything. Linens supplied by a cleaning service.

Pine Knoll Shores is our favorite spot on the island, and this house is perfectly located. However, I think this property has only recently been available for rental and the transition from private residence seems a little rough. The usual renter's info binder was missing info about trash pick-up. The cans were at the garage when we arrived, and still there mid-week. We called Spectrum and learned that we had missed pick-up day, and apparently so had the previous renters. Spectrum was quick to send someone over to empty the trash and we moved the cans to the curb when we checked out. This situation may have contributed to the number of bugs we saw in the house. There was no ice, nor were there any ice trays in the freezer when we arrived. Turns out the freezer was broken. It kept things chilled, but not frozen. We purchased 4 bags of ice during the week for beverages, but lost some items in the less than freeing freezer. I'd suggest adding a set of steak knives to the kitchen supplies, and maybe adjusting the placement of ceiling lamps over the dining table as they hang directly over the head of anyone sitting at the ends. (Oops! Lots of head bumping) We enjoy grilling the fresh seafood we can buy at EI, but no grill is available. I'm sure some guests leave the grill in bad shape, but personally, I'd pay an additional deposit ($50?) to have a gas grill available and make sure it's clean when we leave. We really appreciated the filtered water tap at the kitchen sink and the quality washer/dryer. Cookware and dishes are very nice and there are some sweet decor touches. Overall, the property is very nice and accommodated us well. These few issues are minor and I'm sure they'll be ironed out over time.
