Reviewer Comments:
The stay was very pleasant with a very responsive host. I would say we were pretty content with the property cleanliness and host responsiveness.The kitchen is well stocked and there is plenty of space to sit for 10-20 people. Make sure to bring your own shampoo, conditioner etc. We did not have any in the bathrooms. It was not a big deal for us as we always carry our supplies and there are places very close by if you need to buy anything. The outdoor grill needed some cleaning. The elevator was a great help but stopped working after the first day for us. Should be quick fix for future guests. There is an outdoor shower near the parking area but it’s not functioning. Overall a great place to spend time with family and friends. It’s walking distance from the beach which made it a great location to stay. We would definitely recommend it and would love to go there again.

This was our first time at OBX and we were very pleased with the location of the house, size, amenities, etc. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. Kitchen was fully stocked - only thing that would have been nice was an electric griddle for pancakes. The pool was a little chilly during the day but warmed up by nighttime. I would recommend heating it even in summer. Check-in and out was seamless and easy. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again!

Rental unit is in a great location - just a very short walk from beach access. Pool and yard are nice - we had a rainy week so the covered pool was a huge plus. A few of the beds were rock hard and very uncomfortable - making for a tough and sore week for some who unfortunately didn’t let me know until most of the way through the week when I found them sleeping on couches. Kitchen pans (frying pans and cookie sheets) can use a refresh - otherwise fairly well stocked. Overall a good experience. The beds are the biggest issue.

The indoor pool was the reason we chose this home and it was a big hit with everyone. Warm enough with temps in the 50s. The layout is great for everyone to gather or to have their own space. The kitchen is well equipped, but could use newer pots and pans. Crock pot came in handy. Two ovens, sinks and dishwashers in kitchen were very handy. First floor kitchen was handy with extra fridge. Separate ice maker would be handy if it worked. Carpets look new. Recliners in the 4th floor media room are worn and should be replaced. There’s a nice gathering area on the 2nd floor, but no TV there so it wasn’t used by our crowd. Most mattresses were comfortable but a few were not.

Great house for a family reunion! Plenty of ensuite bedrooms, multiple seating areas, and decks. It stormed all week but we were able to enjoy the covered pool. We stayed at sister house Sea Spirit in 2021. Love the location, close enough to beach, and everything convenient to get to.

Our group of 15 enjoyed the layout of By the Sea. Having a fenced in backyard area for the dogs was an added bonus. Covered pool area, another great addition to the property. Short walking distance, about 5 minutes to the public beach access was very convenient. Property was very clean and met our needs for everything we like to have for amenities. Great central location to plenty of restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores.Beach Realty was a great company to rent from.

What a perfect house in a perfect location. Easy walk to the beach and so much to do at the house as well. The elevator was key for us to have my parents 65th anniversary celebration. They are 86 and my Dad absolutely needed the elevator. The bedrooms were very spacious and we loved everything the house had to offer.

Good location for our family. Plenty of rooms for everyone. Nicely furnished and in good condition. The pool was great for the kids as was the fenced-in yard. Adequate parking for 8 cars. It's convenient to the beach (about a block away) and also to stores etc. Kitchen seemed a bit undersized however based on the number of people the house can accommodate, but we worked with it and it was fine.

Overall was good. Most of the beds were okay but the ones on the 4th floor were horrible. Felt like we were sleeping on a board. I woke up on the 2nd day in agony. I ended up having to go buy a mattress topper.

Family reunion stay
Our family came to the OBX for a cousin reunion (all adult cousins, their partners and children) and rented this house for 4 days.
The pros about this house:
- It was large enough to comfortably accommodate our big family.
- We loved the convenient location, just a short walk to the beach.
- Easy access to some great sightseeing.
The cons:
- Two of the bunks were not made when we arrived - the mattress pads covered in hair and fuzz were an unpleasant sight upon arrival.
- Pool area needed cleaning (pool deck was dirty and very much in need of a hosing down) and many sliding doors were stuck/rusted shut.
- Extra pillows in closets did not have pillow cases on them or provided to put on.
- For the amount we paid for this house, it would have been reasonable to provide more than one roll of toilet paper per bathroom (note that 2 of the bathrooms didn’t have even a roll in them) and a couple of trash bags. All in our group are well-traveled and have stayed in myriad vacation rentals - ALL of which provide toilet paper, dish liquid larger than a travel size bottle, dishwasher pods and trash bags.
We had a wonderful time together as a family but the home was lacking. I’d give the home 3 stars and would not choose to stay here again.

Reviewer Comments:
We have rented this house many times in the last 10 years. Nice upgrades with furniture inside and outside. It's a very roomy house which is nice because we have a big crowd every year. That being said, the kitchen refrigerator was totally unacceptable...a small side-by-side that doesn't fit that much food (and we bring a lot so that we can save money shopping at home and so we don't have to spend our beach time at the grocery store), and there was only 1 shelf in door which meant that all our small items/condiments had to go in the main section of which there was already little room. Also, the one drawer is broken and every time we pulled it out it was a mess. Very frustrating to not have an appropriate size refrigerator to accommodate so many people. We had to go up and down 2 flights of stairs to get what we needed to prepare meals. We also could not use our devices in our bedrooms or out in the pool area because the WiFi did not work anywhere except in the living area. Also very frustrating, especially for those who work remotely and needed to periodically check in. The house was pretty clean, but there was a glob of hair on my shower wall and the mirror was a mess. We had to call to get the right number of towel packs and bath mats, which the staff provided in a timely manner. The covered pool is great, but none of the lights or moving parts work, plus it really needs a good power wash...the corners are pretty gross...but the furniture is nice. Our mattress in the second floor master next to the kitchen creaked every time we moved and I would suggest ceiling fans in all the rooms. After the poor refrigerator and WiFi for a house that sleeps 25, we decided to look for a different house. When we learned that the cost for this house went up a whopping $7,000 from what we paid this past year, it was a no brainer. We found an oceanfront house for 2023 for much less that checks all the boxes and more....

We have been coming to 'By the Sea' for years. It is comfortable, roomy, and is in a great location...just a short walk to the beach. This year we were pleasantly surprised and delighted with all the upgrades and improvements with new furniture, appliances, and renovations. It was cleaner upon arrival both outside and inside that we have experienced in the past. We already booked for 2022!

Contactless Check in was a breeze. House was large enough to accommodate our family and very spacious but... First, housekeeping should be more vigilant about cleaning and inspecting after previous guest. There were dirty socks and underwear found in 2 of the bedrooms and a white pill under the chair, Serving utensils still had old food stuck on them and were in the drawers, Pots, pans, and kitchen mittens and pot holders were half washed, cotton shower curtains were stained, which clearly define lack of housekeeping and upon check out we saw why. There were 3 gentleman sitting in a gray SUV out side of the property when we were checking out smoking marijuana and drinking at 9am!! As soon as we pulled out of the driveway they waved at us pulled in so we doubled back and they were inside the property. Next, we did not appreciate the repair personnel being given access to the unit while we were inside. It’s understandable if we were not there and they needed access but the repair personnel enters and exits the property unannounced which is a privacy violation! Lastly, and the absolute worse, I got stuck in the elevator for 30 minutes and had to call “911” for rescue! The phone inside the elevator did not work, the number posted inside the elevator for emergencies was to a company that no longer serviced the property and Beach Realty was unaware. Which left us to question when was the last time the elevator was serviced! I was so distraught from being trapped in the elevator that the remaining 3 days of our vacation was ruined. Was told that the elevator would be repaired the same day which was Thursday, no one came to access damages or to make repairs. Had to continuously call to get someone to come out for repairs. Elevator was eventually partially repaired and no one was brave enough to use it again! Which meant it was a complete disaster trying to get our elderly disabled parents up and down 2 flights of stairs for 3 days!!

We all enjoyed this beautiful spacious beach rental. All of our family members had plenty of room. The only negatives of the rental was a few beds were not very comfortable on second floor. There were 2 stoves, microwaves, and dishwashers, but one of each was not in working order. We just used the ones that worked. None of the items were old or worn out, so not sure why. The pool was great and definitely got used a great deal. I would recommend this house to a large family/group.

We held a family reunion at this location, plenty of room, lots of accommodations and very comfy. A few things to note:
One of the stoves stopped working while we were there
One of the Microwave oven handles was broken
Both upstairs dishwashers had to be run two-three times, best to wash by hand
There are no: handtowels
bath matts
dishsoap anywhere
trash bags
handsoaps in bathrooms
toilet paper is rationed, we got six
rolls. Bring TP
Couldn't read the bottom floor thermostat
No Hot Tub chemicals or test strips or instructions
Washer is uneven
Dryer does not dry
No T-pot
Water tasted horrible-bring your own
Great Stuff: Plenty of Hot water!
Ice machine was awesome
AC worked well
Elevator was great
Comfy furniture
Beach Office was great
LOTS of outlets
peaceful street
plenty of parking
elevator cart available
So all in all, we had a good experience and having stayed in similar homes, we may have higher expectations than most It's a lot of money for a week and you just think you should have enough of the basics. Maybe these folks don't have to worry about booking or hospitality. In that respect is was a bit disappointing. We've paid less and gotten lots more. To be fair, we didn't call Maintenance and just made due. Didn't want to spend our week entertaining Repairmen or waiting around for the.

First, the good: Spacious, comfortable beds, good showers, good A/C, bathrooms clean,pool was clean
Bad: WiFi didn't work throughout the house...had to be in certain areas to use it, kitchen stuffed with way too many items that are not needed (pot lids, wine openers, 3 yucky electric can openers - I tried to clean one to make it usable, horrible quality kitchen utensils (i.e., had to purchase can opener-electric ones gross, manual one didn't work), no small bowls/plates
Basement thermostat unreadable, only 2 usable pool sticks, foosball table missing a handle (these were things mentioned last year and have not been fixed)
Access to pool needs more pavers to get inside without stepping in dirt and mud which we then bring inside the pool area and ultimately the pool...needs a better place to step at entrance to pool
Top floor ceiling fan still inoperable (said this last year)
Dryer very inefficient - needed several cycles to dry things
No bath mats were included in towel packs
Had to call 3 days to get Keurig coffeemaker that was advertised on website
Had to call 2 days to get repairman in to fix 2 toilets
Staff was nice, but had to stay on top of things myself
Moved a broken chair from deck to garage so no one would get hurt on it
Random broken furniture stored in closets should be removed
Broken microwave handle (been that way since last year)
Check shower liners - one was torn badly and barely hanging on
Pool ceiling would not open - could not turn the key to open it, therefore it felt like a sauna in there
Had to clean kitchen counters upon arrival - had lots of places where they were dirty with grease buildup or whatever
Wine glasses should not be on display - they should be in a cupboard when they stay clean

Staff was nice, but had to stay on top of things myself
Moved a broken chair from deck to garage so no one would get hurt on it
Random broken furniture stored in closets should be removed
Broken microwave handle (been that way since last year)
Check shower liners - one was torn badly and barely hanging on
Pool ceiling would not open - could not turn the key to open it, therefore it felt like a sauna in there
Had to clean kitchen counters upon arrival - had lots of places where they were dirty with grease buildup or whatever
Wine glasses should not be on display - they should be in a cupboard when they stay clean

Reviewer Comments:
Overall, good experience, but the property seemed a bit worn compared to the prior year. The pool roof did not open (we were not told before our stay) which was a disappointment. There were also issues with one of the Microwave handles being broken, the pool table surface was uneven, and there were some general staining of some furniture and carpets.
We realize the situation was difficult this year with Covid, but wanted to go our of our way to thank Tamara in the Beach Realty office for all of her assistance during our stay.
