Although there were only two of us, we can see that this house is very well set up for multiple families. We especially loved the top floor "crow's nest" room where you can see over the dunes to the ocean. Great place to have coffee and watch the sunrise. Since it was early May, we were pretty much alone on the beach. The hot tub off the second floor was wonderful - we enjoyed it very much. Kitchen was fully stocked and there were even back-up appliances is some cases. Quiet neighborhood with no through traffic! Vacasa was VERY responsive to any questions we had. Thanks again to Vacasa and to the house owners.

We trekked the 10 hours from a small little town in southeastern Kentucky and was not disappointed. The property was well maintained, the management was attentive to a lock being broken on the back deck and overall the place was beautiful. 5/5 stars!

Nice house, great location and the crow’s nest is amazing. We rated our stay only 3 stars for a couple of reasons. First, the hot tub jets, renters complained about it last year but they’re still broken. Until the hot tub is repaired/replaced, you should not advertise that the house has a functional hot tub. Vacasa gave us the runaround for 3 days, making us think that someone would be stopping by to repair it, but eventually admitted that it’s just an old hot tub that is eventually going to be replaced. Second, the TV’s are super small and outdated. They’re not smart TV’s so we couldn’t log on to any of our streaming accounts and the screens are very small. Not very ideal when trying to gather the family around for movie night after a day at the beach. A few upgrades would make this house much better to rent.

Beautiful house that we have rented the last 2 Thanksgiving.

We have rented this house for the last 2 years on the week of Thanksgiving . Last year the hot tub needed a part . This year we had to keep adding water to the hot tub . Jets were not strong at all . Would like to rent again next year but the price has all most doubled . It's only myself and my wife and we always leave the house in wonderful shape . I could see the price going up but that's a lot . Thanks for letting me give my opinion .

We had a wonderful trip to Gray Haven. It's an older home, but still comfortable and felt warm and cozy to us. If you are looking for a state of the art kitchen, this is not the house for you. if you are looking for a house to relax and enjoy OBX this will be perfect. The beds were comfortable. The living space was open and welcoming. The access to the beach was a little tricky, but we found a nice staircase/board walk a few houses down that went over all the dunes. There were SO many people fishing on the beach, that was the only thing I really didn't like because we had to walk quite a while to get to a place where we could get close to the water, but that's not a reflection of the house. Prickly Pears are no joke, don't walk around without shoes or you'll be sorry. The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived. We had a couple of VERY minor issues when we were there and VACASA responded immediately.

I really enjoyed staying at Gray Haven! The views were great of both the ocean and the soundside sunsets. The coffee table was great for working a puzzle. I thoroughly recommend Gray Haven as a place to stay for a trip to the Outer Banks!

Not truly a beach front home.

If you are looking for a beach front home please be aware the walk over the dunes is quite a hike. Not conducive if you have elderly, babies or a pregnant woman.

Beautiful House, issues w/Realty Company

Beautiful House, issues w/Realty Company

Spacious house with amazing views!! Top deck is breathtaking. Beach very quiet and clean. Very convenient to restaurants, supermarket etc. Mattresses were uncomfortable, as identified in previous reviews. Overflowing linen bin from previous renter was in the driveway the ENTIRE time we were there, blowing all over the property. It’s disgusting having to pick up someone else’s linen. Hot tub wasn’t working for the first half of our stay. Multiple calls to Vacasa/Hatteras Realty, but was told it’s considered a “non-urgent ticket”. Unfortunate, since that was part of the reason we chose this property. Initially had some struggles with getting the multi-media system to work with the printed instructions next to the tv, which appeared inaccurate as someone updated them with handwriting directions on the back. Outdoor grill was too rusty too cook on. Lots of amenities in the house we didn’t get to/need to use, which is great: games, books, puzzles, lots of kitchen appliances, picnic table on deck.

My family and I rented the property for spring break. It was just what we needed! The house was very clean and there was plenty of space for us all to spread out. The beds could have been a little more comfortable, but adequate for a vacation rental. The hot tub was amazing, and the views absolutely made our trip! Lovely Stay overall.

The house location is great! The communication was horrible.

We arrived on March 10th. There was a plastic bin filled with dirty linen in the driveway dated March 8th. When we got into the house, the heat was on. We tried to adjust the unit but it wanted an access code that wasn’t included in the check in or any other emails. Two days later and after 3 calls to the customer service number, we finally got the air conditioning turned on. The location of the house was great. The new deck on top was great and great views. A man showed up unannounced the day before check out to clean the hot tub without telling us who he was or why he was cleaning it before we were leaving. The upstairs nook needed to be cleaned and both queen mattresses need to be replaced. It was like sleeping in a taco. Lots of confusion between hatteras realty and Vacasa.

House is beautiful, upper deck has amazing views! Public beach access is MUCH better. Wider paths, less prickly stuff and not as steep. Minor things like burned out lightbulbs, short blankets and TERRIBLE mattresses are disappointing. Overall a great stay.

Summer family vacation

We were about 8 months planning and looking forward to this getaway. We were not disappointed, the house was just about as we hoped. Beach access is challenging, but beautiful when you get there! The only wish we could’ve had- was softer more comfortable beds and the grill a little more closer to the eating area.

House was nice. Walk to beach requires traversing two large dunes. Distance is about 250 yards. Not for people with bad legs.
