Although the setting is very nice on a quiet street off of NC 12 in Avon, the house itself was poorly maintained and was the dirtiest house I have ever visited in 35 years of renting vacation homes. The cleanliness issues are too numerous to list here but two examples standout. 1. the dirt and grease were so thick on the hood over the range/oven in the kitchen you could write your name in the grime. 2. one of our family members found a soiled diaper under their bed! I believe this is more the fault of the Vacasa management company leaders than it is the local cleaning crew.

Location. Layout of the house. Kitchen area. Size of the rooms.

We had a great time together as a family, the ocean view was breathtaking, and the beds were extremely comfortable. Unfortunately, this was the WORST vacation rental any of us had ever experienced. It started with being locked out of the house for over an hour upon arrival & it was very cold outside. Sad part is that the office was literally only a few blocks away. Upon entry we quickly realized the house was completely worn out! This house is obviously a churn and burn money maker. The movie theater was in shambles, only 4 of the 12 theater chairs worked, they were completely worn out and left black specks all over you, the pocket door was off of the hinges and almost locked many of us inside the room, and thankfully we had tech-friendly family members because there weren’t any instructions provided. Someone else would not have had a clue what to do! The ad for the place stated DirectTv was available, and we found out that wasn’t true. The fireplace wouldn’t work the first night. The downstairs game room only had one game that worked, and there were no balls in the foosball table, the juke box didn’t work, and the shower curtain in the downstairs bathroom kept falling! One of the beds didn’t even have a comforter to sleep with when we arrived (again, it was cold outside). There were no extra sheet sets in the event of needing a change. One family member became sick in the middle of the night and we were not able to replace the sheets for them to go back to bed. The other issue was the lack of the elevator in the beginning of our stay. Granted, we had been informed before we got there, but there were not any others to change to that were oceanfront. Due to this we had to use the front steps where we realized many of the steps were worn out and unsafe. Every item we reported they did fix except for the pocket door and they only repaired one of the faulty steps. Thankfully, the elevator was fixed and we didn’t have to use them for the remainder of the trip. I hate having to write all of this. It was sad that such a great house was run into the ground. We truly felt that this house was misrepresented and falsely advertised!!! Not worth almost 9k.

Unfortunately this home did not check many of the boxes as promised . Management was notified x 3 and we received approx 12 % discount on our bill the day before leaving . We went in person fo the office on day 2 to get things fixed and nothing happened . It took another call and a email for someone to finally take our complaints seriously Cons Bathroom door off it’s hinges , repaired after 6 days Arcade games broken Projector broken in movie room - unusable No cable tv - luckily my son brought his lap top and own cables so we would could watch a movie on his Amazon acct Garbage in pool area left from last guests Sliding doors onto decks not sliding No wifi at pool / bottom deck Tiki bar is not a bar it’s a dirty sink Water and ice on fridge door broken You get the idea - the list is long Pros Great location - walkable distance to grocery store and restaurant Beautiful beach front access Stove and most of kitchen was great - lacking sharp knives and a kettle Bedrooms were large and nicely decorated Air Con was great Living room was spacious and comfy Lots of deck and pool chairs Entry was easy on Day 1- we were able to access home @ 4 pm Check out was painless

It's a beach house, so you expect some imperfections.... We came to cook and to have close access to the beach - everything and more we had for these activities. The kitchen appliances and furnishings were great, more than usual. The large table easily accommodated our 8 adult guests. Ample room in the kitchen for two or three cooks as well. Bedrooms and baths were OK, but nothing ordinarily good or bad about them. Probably just need a real good cleaning and some minor repairs to bring it up a level. Game room and movie theatre were disappointing for sure. Juke box, video games were non operating. Only 4 of 12 seats were functional in the movie room, and while dvd's played, there were no directions as to how to get the AppleTV device to work for streaming. Deck was amazing - outfit with the best outdoor furniture made. Totally an unexpected pleasure to sit and enjoy the ocean view. All in all we came to cook and enjoy the beach - thus this place fit us almost perfectly....

The space was perfect for our family. Unfortunately, the maintenance of the property was not so great. None of the electronic games in the game room worked. About half of the recliners actually reclined. The door to the master bath was literally hanging by a hinge making it impossible open or close. Pills were found on the bathroom floor upon arrival as well as empty soda bottles in a bedroom. I was disappointed to not find at least a starter of hand soap and a garbage bag or two. The pool was perfect and the view second to none. Not sure if I’d rebook this property.

The home itself is beautiful and the views can’t be beat. Gorgeous. But we did have a few issues. We had trouble with the direct tv and ended up streaming off of our tablet. The theater room, was the same we had to use our devices and most of the seats didn’t work. The door wasn’t on its track, the pool table needs repair, as does the football table. The jukebox didn’t work and one video game wouldn’t come on at all and the other had no sound. We were there during a tropical storm and we had a major leak which I reported in one of the bedrooms. Around the top of the door, we put a couple of bathroom trash cans to try to catch the water. We love the Outer Banks and had a great time, just a little disappointed that all the amenities weren’t as described
