The rental house was a good over all experience. The house was ready at the correct time. The rental company was good to work with. We had a electrical problem with the hot tub, they were quick to get it repaired with in 2 days. The only complaint I had about the property was the back yard. There was no shade whatsoever. The concrete and decking boards were so hot that the kids could not stand or play in the back yard without blistering your feet. We had to buy a pop up tent to provide shade for the kids to play or sit outside. Other that that everything was as expected about the property. We Would stay again.

Our stay was good, but there are several safety issues in this home. Railing on top balcony, multiple areas loose. Bunkbeds unsafe for sleep. Stairs need better gate closure. One of the hightop chairs was missing most of its support, thankfully we noticed before our kids sat in the chair. For future renters...not ideal layout for families with small children, beds are uncomfortable. House is clean and nicely decorated, major appliances worked (thats all we used), hot tub was nice. Proximity to the beach was good,

We chose this property because it was handicap accessible. My adult son is wheelchair bound. The beach access stated handicap accessible but in reality they were not. House was nice but needed some upgrades. The mattress in the king bedroom had a spring poking out. The living room furniture was very uncomfortable. Chair to the hair table was missing rungs very dangerous for a fall. Several on the railings on the deck need to be firmly attached.

We enjoyed our family vacation very much. The home was a great size for our family and we enjoyed the pool It was a little further from the beach than we would have liked and there were some minor repair issues with the house. The refrigerator froze items even when put on a lower than recommended setting. Some of the faucets leaked or were difficult to turn off. Overall very nice home with a nice game room.

The house was very cleaned when we arrived. The walk to the beach was easy especially with the small children. A small problem with the refrigerator leaking. I notified the rental company right away, but never heard back from them. The master bedroom's mattress could you an update.

We had a wonderful time at your rental for our vacation. Property was beautiful as described and walking distance to the beach. A few upgrades would make it perfect. The mattresses could be replaced, they were very soft with no support. We had a group of 10 and there was plenty of room for us but the kitchen cookware didn't work for a large family. There were only small size pots/pans. Very difficult to cook for a large group. The shower heads had week pressure and could be upgraded. With these upgrades 5he rental would be perfect!

While I was very satisfied with the rental‘s location and cleanliness, I do think a few minor upgrades/updates would have greatly enhanced the experience. New mattresses in all the bedrooms are overdue and the showerheads should be replaced. The kitchen is well equipped, but the coffeemaker needs replaced. Those minor changes would make a major difference in the overall experience.

Where do I start! To start with check-in is from 4 to 6pm. The door code was sent to me shortly after Noon the day of our arrival. You are asked to notify the agency upon arrival. We notified the company at about 4:15pm. We were told we could not enter until we received a message from them. We left to pick up our rented LSV. After waiting until about 5:00 we messaged the office about leaving the LSV on the property and about checking in. We were again told we could not check-in until we received a message from them with an ok to go in. We waited. Finally after 6:00pm I called the after hours number. They had to have someone call me back. Bottom line, we were finally allowed to go in at about 6:30pm. Mind you the outside light did not work so we were fumbling around in the dark. No apology and there had been no cleaning service there nor had anyone else been there while we waited and waited to get in. We were parked where we could see the property while we waited. Once inside, we saw blinds in the master bathroom broken right in front of the shower. The fireplace was not functional, and it was needed, which was included as an amenity. WiFi was not working nor were most of the TVs on the 2nd floor working and not because of the wifi. One of the amenities was extra blankets provided for guests. There were no blankets at all in the entire house. We had to go buy blankets for everyone. If the heat was turned up to warm the living room, the master bedroom was so hot it was unbreatheable! Because we had paid the entire amount for the rental, we did stay but the fireplace nor the blinds were ever repaired. The picture showed a large dining table with 8 chairs for seating. That didn't work. One chair was right next to the bar stool so it had to be moved to even get a round the table. The chair on the other end was so close to the wall only a small person could use it. The table could not be moved because there was no space to move it.

Not Good, I called the rental company and left a message and you never returned my call so you could fix the broken bed, or hot tub. When I booked I spoke with Ashley she was wonderful. When I called about discounts for pontoon I asked for Ashley and was told she wasn't working there anymore. Office person I spoke with was not pleasant gave me wrong info.

We had a great time. The house was . everything we expected. We had a little trouble figuring out the TV's but we got it eventually
We also weren't sure about the recycling . The container wasn't picked up the whole week
4.3
The location is great. That said the photos don't accurately represent the house. The house was dirty, screens broken with large holes and the upper deck had spindles on the railing loose that my 20 month old daughter could have fell through. When we turned on the master tub brown dirt came out which was clearly not cleaned prior to our arrival. Also, getting the property management team was like pulling teeth to get a response.

The house was clean and so were the pool and hot tub. Big living room was a great hangout space. 1 minute walk to public beach access

Beautiful home and had everything you could ask for. Great location. Have stayed in OBX several times and this was probably the least clean out of the properties I’ve stayed at. Kitchen had sticky dark cola all over the fridge on arrival, stains all over the carpet and drapes, and some of the chairs were wobbly and breaking. Aside from a good deep clean, the house was amazing and had every perk! Would recommend.

Down By The Sea was the perfect name for this rental. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach, and if you didn't want to go to the beach, there is a nice pool and hot tub to enjoy. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and lots to do in the area. The house itself, was as described. PERFECT!

Unable to use the pool, not open until May 1st. This property recently sided, debris all over the ground, the company should have cleaned better. Also speakers not hooked up for outside or in the game room. DVD was broke, but property replaced 2 days later. All as stated, heating and air worked well. Elevator worked well. Ample parking. The property was suitable for the family and served it's purpose. I would recommend it, but wait till later in May due to weather to book. Some cosmetics needed attention, I left a list loved keyless entry.

There was a stubborn off shore storm the week we rented in May 2022. Gale force winds ppm cloudy and chilly. We couldn’t use the pool or hot tub but enjoyed the house. It was clean, nice linens and the kitchen was well equipped. We took our dog and he and my husband used the elevator! The location is superb. Public access to the beach is on the side street (Calvin Street) so not a far walk.

We rented this for Christmas 2021. The lay out of the house was great as far as the number of beds and baths. The elevator was awesome and helpful. The bad was the beds the master bedroom mattress had springs popping out we got NO SLEEP. The pots and pans were few and out dated and rusty. The pillows had slobber stains could not use them. Could not tell if the sheets were dingy our if they were off white. The carpet needs cleaning all the furniture needs to be replaced. I will not rent this house again. It was horrible. Not even sure if they cleaned the house. I found a old bottle of grape juice under the couch. Overall I give this house a 3.. Please do upgrades to this house especially the beds. No one wants to pay money and feel like they are in a motel 6.
