FAQ:

WHERE IS HOUSE AND HOW DO I GET IN ? Once the last payment has been made, usually scheduled three weeks before arrival date, you will be sent address, unique entry code for your week, and other pertinent information on house. There is a 90 day 100% refund.

HOW FAR ARE YOU FROM BEACH? As far as the location of house to beach, please see posted pictures and captions. One picture was taken from house showing ocean access between a yellow and a gray ocean front houses. The second picture shows a close up of access showing same houses. I hope that made sense. Its about a football field walk to beach and a football and half to Sound.

WHEN IS CHECK IN CAN I GET AN EARLY CHECK IN OR LATE CHECK OUT? During summer season it is almost impossible to get an early check in/check out. We stay booked Saturday to Saturday and our cleaners have a very small window between 10 am and 4PM to clean and prepare multiple houses. If renting in off season, contact me and we can review. We do ask that you help our cleaning staff and leave house and neat and clean as possible

ARE LINENS AND TOWELS PROVIDED? You have the option of bringing your on linens or we can provide for a $75 service fee. This included all sheets, pillow cases and bath towels and washcloths. Comforters, pillows, blankets are provided regardless

WHEN DOES POOL OPEN AND IS IT HEATED? Pool normally opens up the middle of April and closes the middle of October. It is not heated and depending on weather and tolerance can be used in those months.

CAN I BRING MY PET? Although I am a pet lover and have dogs myself, due to the short turn over time on Saturday mornings, there is no time for extra cleaning for any pet issues. If you are renting on off season, contact me and we can discuss possibility of allowing pets. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions.

Loved Gone to Carolina! The place was perfect for our family with size, the decor, location and amenities including the pool. It had a warm feeling to it even though it was a Beach Home for 2 weeks. We would definitely stay here again for a stay in Duck/Corolla! Thank you for sharing your home.

Arrived an hour and a half after scheduled check in time. Arrived exhausted only to find house had not been cleaned. I don't mean munir cleaning but major issues. Pile of dirty linen at the door upon entering. Pile of dirty dishes. Linen on floor in one room had what looked like either dried blood or poop. Immediately nauseous. Looks like mold around vents in third floor. Disgusting trash in one of the bathrooms. Not all tvs worked as described..Stove handle broken and laid into of stove . Floors filthy and not swept even after cleaning person finally came and left. Mind you we had to wait another two hours before we could settle in. Communication with owner was mildly satisfactory. He was nonchalant and basically said this type of inconvenience comes with traveling. He was not willing to make any concessions for our inconvenience and utter disgust. I am in the medical profession and bacteria and germs are a huge concern for me. This owner clearly didn't share the same concern. The property is in need of a major deep cleaning and some updates. Other than that s nice Structure in a nice location.

Had a great trip! And The Town Of Duck was so nice. Bicycling the town was great and the home was close enough that even I could make it to town and back without more than 1 or 2 stops asking the way. Be aware there are lots of spiders EVERYWHERE.

The property owner was wonderful to work with. I sent him a few questions and he got back to me immediately. This is a nice beach house. It wasn’t too far away from the beach access for the little ones to walk. The *extras were a blessing- the beach wagon, beach umbrellas, and beach chairs! We also made use of the bikes! Just an fyi (I forgot to let the owner know) - there are 5 bicycles but 2 of them have either flat or dry rotted tires. The other 3 are fine. We loved having a fenced in yard for the kids! Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing week!

Our family of 8 had a wonderful time at OBX. The house is in the perfect location-a short walk to the beach (which is beautiful) and the sound and a short drive to restaurants and lots of activities.The house has a lot a character--from the window cutouts to the artwork to the backyard oasis where we spent alot of time. the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could need, including highchairs and mini crib/pack-n-play for my infant grandson. One con I have to mention--the left deck rail of the deck off the main living area is loose. We put chairs in front of it to block access, but it could be a catastophe if not fixed. Otherwise--we would stay here again!

Over the house was ok. We had no AC from when we arrived on Saturday until Monday pm. I wish we were told that we needed to bring our own toile paper, one bathroom had none and the other 2 about 1/3 roll. Easy to pack but were unaware that none would be provided from the beginning. Feel the house keepers could have done a better job, we found other people belonging under the beds. The original post when we made the reservation said 4 full bathrooms, did not realize they are calling the outside shower a full bathroom. They have since undated to say 3 full baths and 1 outdoor shower.
