My family gets together every year. We have great grandparents all the way down to an almost 2 year old. There was plenty of space for us to have a place to hang out but also enough space to spread out when needed.

A group of 14 family members from all over the eastern US spent the long weekend of May 17-21 at Heavenly Haven celebrating the lives of two family members we lost in 2023. The house was perfect for us - even though we were a tad confused in the beginning by the two staircases and separate first and second floor “silos”. The separate areas ended up adding to everyone’s privacy, which truly was great.
We found the kitchen amazingly well-stocked for a VRBO rental. And the pool table was an absolute highlight for the younger members of our group.
The only recommendation I have is that either all bath towels and mats should be included in the rental rate (my vote) or the fact they are not currently included should be more prominent in the listing. I missed it until about a week before our arrival. It was super easy to rent them, but they really should be included.

Beautiful home that was very clean. Great neighborhood as well! Very close to the beach!

House was big and roomy. It was very enjoyable and we had a great time. Loved that it had 2 dishwashers! Short walk to the beach.

Property is very beautiful and the elevator is definite plus. We had one bed that sheets were not changed. Found that to be a little gross. Looked like coffee or chocolate all over. It was rough not a stain. Our water was shut off on Wednesday for approximately 2 to 3 hours to fix plumbing issue they were having before our stay. Air conditioning quit working our 1st day. Someone came out rather quickly and got it fixed for a Sunday. Pool and hottub very nice also. They came and shocked pool but didnt clean it. Overall, nice stay.

We were very satisfied with our accommodations. The adults all stated that the layout of the home worked perfectly for our family of 10 adults and 6 grandchildren. Ages from 9 to 17. There was a great array of kitchen utensils. There was no issues getting to beach. Close enough for everyone to travel back and forth a few times each day. Only issue that came up was that the volleyball , if missed, would go into the bushes..Tough recovery. Pool was a great size.

We had a wonderful time here. Everyone enjoyed the house. There were so many bedrooms and we didn’t even use them all. Each room is insulated great. With the bedroom doors closed, you couldn’t hear any noise from the other rooms.
Everyone loved the elevator and how great it was to use to get supplies up to the kitchen on the 3rd floor.
Thanks to Leslie and Jen for their help with a couple of minor issues. They responded very quickly and things were fixed within a day.
We had the pool heated and enjoyed it so much. The hot tub was great too.
Easy walking distance to beach access.
We had a wonderful time and encourage anyone thinking of renting this house to do so.

What a pleasurable experience! We are a family ranging from 76 to 6yrs old and everyone enjoyed their stay. The house is clean and spacious. The decks had plenty of seating areas where you can enjoy the sun. The pool is a nice size to accommodate a number of people comfortably. Many enjoyed the volleyball court as well. Its a very short 5 minute walk to the beach. Even my 76yr old mother enjoyed the walk!! The elevator comes in handy when carrying the groceries or luggage upstairs. Overall a great stay.

The location was great. Close to the beach. The house layout worked out well for us. Plenty of communal space but also an entertainment room for family that wanted to play pool, watch movies and stay up late. Swimming pool was a good size for family too.

I read all the other reviews and as with most ppl I tend to go with the negative … this was NOT so … yes the place is worn(lived in) no it’s not spanking new.. is your house after 15 years and 100s of ppl !! It was well taken care of and for me as clean as I would expect !!
The beach while not “ right there” was well within walking distance … I am not in good shape and had no trouble getting there!!!
I would highly recommend it and would definitely stay again !!
As to Jen and Leslie we didn’t have much interaction but what I did have was good !

The house is supposed to sleep 20 but dining is split up between 2 areas and 2 people would need to sit on bar stools, Location is mid way between 2 access points to the beach which makes for a long walk. The furniture is dirty and cannot accomodate all. There was no decent sized frying pan (10" largest) - I called management but nothing happened other than coming out to look around. They tell you not to remove mattress pads for laundry but there were no mattress pads! We won't rent from Leslie's again.

Overall our stay was pretty good. My husband had to fix a few plumbing issues but he's a great handyman and we had tools with us.
I know we're supposed to strip the sheets off the bed but I wonder how many times the bedspread was washed in between different weekly rental customers. It made me wonder if I was laying on top of a used comforter that had been slept on. Or other activities! Overall we were pleased, except for that.

The home had everything needed for a great vacation. Beds were incredibly comfortable, and plentiful. The home was clean, and having the elevator was very convenient for moving groceries. The great room provided ample space for gathering and relaxing. Some furniture and fixtures could use minor repairs, but that did not detract from our enjoyment in the least

Perfect space and amenities.

My family was very disappointed with the condition of this home. It is managed by a property manager so not really a VRBO. The house is old, and has not been maintained. Furniture was broken, couch and carpets visibly stained, hard floors were dirty. There were layers of dust and dirt on surfaces and it appeared that it hasn't been professionally cleaned in some time. The house was poorly furnished with mismatched and cheap dishes and silverware. The hottub was missing knobs, the patio planks had nails sticking out and planks popped up when walked on. Rotting wood planks in the stairwells and broken floor vents that feel like you might fall through the floor. The cooking and living space is inadequate for a home that can sleep 20+ people.
I brought my concerns to the attention of the property manager and their response was more of concern for hurting the owner's feelings about telling them their home is not up to the standard of an Outer Banks rental.

Plenty of space for everyone. Everybody had their own bedroom and bath lots of privacy wish had been little closer to beach . It was our family of four sisters and spouses we were all in our 60,sand 70s

This was a perfect house for our family. Our 4 adult children, 2 having their own children, allowed for privacy in sleeping area and own bathroom facilities. We could then all enjoy meals and game time on the main level. Plenty of cooking and eating room. Had an amazing sea food boil. One memorable vacation together!

We enjoyed this sprawling home that allowed us to both hang out together and find time away when needed. Pool is huge and occupied our group for several hours every day. Thanks!

This property was very nice. Bedrooms were large and comfortable, bathrooms for everyone. With 14 people including 4 teens, 1 child and a baby, it was really great where the rooms were (kids on one side of the house, adults on the other). Well stocked kitchen with 2 dishwashers and garbage is pulled to corner by a service which was great to now worry about that. With a possible hurricane coming, the property management communicated all the updates very well. Pool was beautiful and used every day (could have used a better cleaning after the storm) Beach only 10 min walk. Many stores & attractions walkable or biked. Only suggestion would be to add some Adirondack chairs to the many decks and fix up the outside a bit. Other than that, great place!

Room for everyone, including our 4 pound miniature pinscher. The pool, hot tub, pool table, and kitchen got a lot of use. Great neighborhood for walking and biking. Friendly families were everywhere. Bathrooms and TV for everyone. We have a pleasant and relaxing stay.
