Lots of improvements needs to be done, however the house is for sale so I’m assuming there will be no more updates. We were also under the impression that we would have tv, however there was no connection to several of them and the remote controls were missing batteries The hot tub only heated to 92. The ants are almost unbearable. They were everywhere in the home. There was a lot of mold in the bathrooms. Ice maker didn’t work properly. I’m really disappointed as this was not our original vacation home we chose. We were offered this home as an accommodation as the home we originally rented was already booked. I read the reviews and they weren’t great however out of the choices we were given this home is the one that would accommodate all of our family. We were assured that the complaints had been addressed. The only good thing was the beach was in walking distance.

The location was great

It was clear the residence had not been occupied in a while. There was no cleaning or inspection prior to our arrival. We arrived to a dirty house with ants everywhere. They were on every surface and the floor. They were live ants crawling everywhere and tons of dead ants all over the floors and windowsills. The towels and sheets had to be washed when we arrived due to the dead ants all over. The property managers were completely unresponsive. We were told every day of our 4 day trip that the local management had been contacted and that something would be done, but nothing was ever done. We never heard from the local management. We had to personally purchase cleaning supplies, scrub down every surface, and clean the floors. We set traps but they kept coming back and getting into our food. There were not enough towels provided to us for the number of people we had reserved the house for. Many of the light bulbs and light fixtures did not work. There weren’t lids on two of the outdoor trash cans, so there was two feet of standing water mixed with trash in the cans when we arrived. The hot tub had not been cared for and was filled with sand and grime. The cover for the hot tub was dry-rotted and disintegrating. The house itself was in a great location. The house had good amenities and games. The house would have served us well had it been cleaned and the property managers been responsive. It is clear this house was not well-maintained, nor did they care about the guests.

Good

Pool was good, location is great. House is poorly maintained and could be much better. when we first showed up other than some hiccups with the cleaning people delaying our check in we thought this was going to be a house we would rent year after year for our annual obx trip but as you started to walk around you could see ants in the bathrooms and kitchen, not even salt and pepper left for tenants to use. The deck is structurally unsafe to the point of boards falling off when stepped on and nail heads sticking out of the deck. We wouldn’t recommend anyone with small children stay in this house it would be a nightmare with splinters, nails, loose railing, and loose boards. There were some cockroaches in the bottom floor and the ice in the ice machine was covered in dirt and sand. It’s a shame because if it was kept clean and there weren’t short cuts taken on painting anf maintaining the interior and the deck was repaired it could be a beautiful home.

It was great. The problems we had were taken care of. It took some time but they compensated us . The house had plenty of dishes , glasses silverware. I did bring more pots but I cook big meals . It does take 24 hrs for the fridge to cool. But there is a foodlion 10 mins away. And the beach is less than a 3 min walk from the house. I will definitely be back !

Two families stayed here for the week (12 people). The layout of the house is great for big groups - plenty of beds and bathrooms. The pool and hottub were great. A few things that could be improved: The microwave worked but was very loud; the fridge smelled like fish when we arrived - we purchased Baking Soda for fridge/freezer, and by the next day it was better. Lastly, the decks could use some TLC... pressure washing at a minimum to clean them and there was also a loose board on first level.

Decent price, walkable to the beach and near to convenience stores. It was a good stay with sufficient space for our family. And the good ends here. House was not clean enough compared to all my prior vacation stays. some bed sheets had stains. Insufficient/incorrect description of rooms. 1 room cannot be considered as 5ht BR. We felt short of bed room. Old and misleading pictures of the house. Not enough basic necessities such as trash bags, soaps and minimum needed kitchen items were not provided. Clothes dryer was not working. Not a single beach item such as umbrellas or Not a single beach item such as umbrellas or chairs were available. Tv in living room did not work for any smart feature. Only cable was working with limited channels. But there were good purposeful utensils. Dryer was not working. Wifi was weak in most parts of the house.
