Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and amenities were great. The quality of the home and the beautiful view of the Sound were wonderful. I will caveat my next statement with the fact that I realize pets are allowed at this location but that should not universally excuse the cleanliness of a home. It is unacceptable for dog hair to be ubiqutious throughtout the home. My wife and I spent two hours vaccuming and Swiffering the floors and furniture. With the amount of dog hair we cleaned up, I find it highly unlikely that any serious effort was made by the cleaning crew to vaccum, Swiffer, or mop the floors. Also I assume the accumulation of hair casued a dog odor to permeate and linger throughtout the home. In addition, when we moved the coffee maker to wipe the counter there was an accumulation of dirt, water, and I assume coffee grounds accumulated underneath, which again indicates to me that no serious efforts were made to address basic cleaning.

Extended family vacation. Thoroughly enjoyed your home! Thank you!

Perfect weekend getaway. Cottage met all our needs for our stay for my daughter’s wedding being held at Vista Creek. And we were able to take our dogs with us which was a huge plus.

My husband checked that it was on and bucket and drawer were properly placed still never worked. Had to buy ice all week a bit of an inconvenience. Outdoor area was wonderful but alot of things need repair. Railing into Gazebo is about to break. Going out of the gate to yard area near the Gazebo had a black cable coming up out of the ground this was a serious trip hazard. We also were supposed to have pool heat which I paid for but it was not on and I did not get the pool heat until Wed. It would also be really nice if the tree did not hangover the pool the sun only hits the pool in a couple small places. There are a lot of nice Lounge chairs but there is nowhere to use them since everything is hanging over the area preventing the sun from hitting the area. The outdoor fireplace was a wonderful treat at night to help keep the bugs away and roast marshmallows. The fountains in the pool was by far my favorite thing and makes up for a lot of other downsides. The sound is so relaxing I loved them. The other big upside is that the house is set up to cater to your fur babies and that I appreciated and respected a lot.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After the initial disappointment upon arriving, as the photographer did an amazing job showcasing this house, the uniqueness of this house did grow on us. The location is wonderful with amazing views from the deck and easy access to the sound. You may find stray golf balls in the pool or in the front but will definitely have them in the back yard. The 2nd floor layout is somewhat chopped up to accommodate 5 bedrooms and the description of a theater room seems a bit generous. Like others have mentioned, the dining area is small and fits 8 at most, but the 3rd floor is pretty open to allow for other areas to eat/snack. There were a few items (blinds, freezer door handle, baby gate) that could use attention (maintenance) but wasn't worth bothering the PM company with. Top 2 floors were relatively clean but could've used a vacuuming under the furniture and in the windows (dead insects). The first floor didn't look to be addressed at all - especially the bathroom off the pool - leaves and cobwebs, looks like it hadn't been cleaned since the fall. There are other areas around the property that could be repaired/refreshed. Additionally, the American flag flying in the back has seen much better days and should be retired for a fresh one as it was pretty tattered. With all that being said, we enjoyed the stay and appreciated the quirks of the property. It was one of the very few properties that had a pool and hot tub. Its location did afford some gorgeous views especially the sunsets. The neighborhood was quiet, and people were friendly. The location was great and not too far for a day trip up to Corolla or down to Hatteras. A 10-minute drive over to Manteo was also a nice treat. We would stay again but would be hopeful that some of the items would be addressed.

Our dogs love the large back yard.great house will stay agian

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Such wonderful sunsets!! The house suited us just fine but there are some things that renters should know. If your dog can't manage circular stairs (as mine could not), the only way to access the fenced yard is from two of the five bedrooms, or to go out the front door, down the front steps and then walk around back. I had hoped to use one of the two bedrooms with a fireplace and that turned out to not be an option for me.That said, the fireplaces didn't work out for my guests who did have those rooms. One fireplace was too loud (a noisy fan) and one simply didn't work. Maintenance came right away for this and another issue that they quickly resolved. I was pleased with maintenance response. We were eight adults. The living area was a little tight when we were all there and we often had to bring in an extra chair or two from another part of the house on those occasions.But what a lot of great memories we built over the week! It was truly a great winter beach getaway.

We had to leave a day early. We were most disappointed in the staff when we called to let them know the home was flooding, the girl on the phone was very flippant and said, “Yes that happens”!? No instructions of what to do. Thank Goodness we got out just as water was coming over the steps! The house was fairly clean, but ALL the rugs need to be replaced!

Overall we were very happy but there are a lot of steps. It's tough taking the dogs out because the little ones needed to be carried to the middle floor- and the outdoor access to the gated yard is only in bedrooms. We were happy with it and would rent this again. Did I mention the views are amazing!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beach Realty was very responsive & corteous. Unfortunately, we had to contact them at least 7 times for maintenance issues. The decor & functionality in this house needs attention. Lamps that were old, broken & didn't work even with new light bulbs, ill-fitting & outdated bed comforters. The kitchen is not well appointed. Terrible pan selection, only 6 bowls, no serving dishes. The cleaning people did a terrible job before we arrived. Absolutely filthy floors, dusty shelves, stained & dirty bed coverings. Very off-putting. On a positive note, the outside area is beautifully landscaped. Gorgeous front yard & pool area with a nice big hot tub. We used the outdoor fireplace a few times & it was very nice. I do recommend adding a fire tool but we managed. This home has 5 bedrooms and 2 mini bedrooms with space for 14 people to sleep. However, there are no common areas big enough for that many people. The living room comfortably seats 4 or 5 people at most. The dining area is in an alcove so 8 people can sit at the table but can't get in or out without everyone getting up to move. There are no other indoor common areas. The mattresses were all VERY firm. The propane tank ran out midweek & the owner failed to contact gas company for refill so we had NO HOT WATER for 36 hours. Realty company notified them immediately but they took no action. House needs an exterminator. I realize it's a waterfront property in the South but we saw way too many roaches in the house during our stay. The sound access & sunsets were absolutely wonderful. We really wanted to love the house. We wait ALL year for this vacation & spend ALOT of money on the rental fees & this house just wasn't up to par with others we've rented in this price range. I wish the owner would take a look at the interior with the mind of a resident & see how appealing it could be with a few upgrades.

The yard and pool were perfect. Heads up to any renters, the waterfalls in the pool must run, or it doesn’t filter. They were off when we arrived. The pool was cleaned during the week and pumps left on when we returned, so clean! The location was perfect, the bay was awesome for the dogs! Definitely would rent again. The house was clean except for all the dog hair under sofa, beds, tables! It would have been nice to have that swept up. We found out the hard way when the dogs would lose the ball under furniture.

In addition to my husband and I, two adult sons and their girlfriends, we were joined by three of our large dogs. We actually found the unusual glayout of the home and multiple stairs to be fun. The location on the sound and off of the golf course couldn’t have been better. We enjoyed many sunsets and played golf as much as possible. The home was beautifully decorated and the beds were comfortable. We spent many hours in the pool and much preferred it to the ocean even though the pool waterfalls were not working. Our only complaint was the housekeeping. There was a lot of hair and some garbage under furniture. The appliances and kitchen drawers were dirty/sticky. The garbage in the pool area was not emptied and smelled terrible. The prior occupants did not pick up after their dog(s) so there were many piles to pick up on the grass in the backyard. One tub drains was full of hair and had to be unclogged. In short, the housekeeping was a disappointment but the house itself and the location were awesome.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The outside area was very nice. The pool, jacuzzi,gazebo and fire pit were great. Lighting outside was hit or miss. sometimes the motion light went on, other times not. This is not child or elderly friendly. Grounds were beautifully kept and view was awesome. The house needs some help. Opened front door, storm window in door not secure and was blowing in. Pulling up in driveway to see broken aluminum blinds was not very attractive. Most of the blinds were so hard to lift or lower. Garbage disposal non functioning and causing drain to back up. I actually pulled a whole boiled egg out of it. Maintenance man fixed promptly and took out disposal. Master bedroom AC did not even cool that area. Shower in MB was so small we had to use other bathroom. We were without power in MB over 24 hours. Again very nice maintenance man found problem. (Golf balls had hit outdoor motion lights causing them to short when it rained). The kitchen is extremely small so I would not recommend for multi family use. There house is very busy with a nostalgic decor. Not good if you have kids. Location was perfect, short ride to beach and stores. House was dog friendly and that was one of the reasons to rent this home.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon arrival and walking up to the front door, you have to walk through a jungle of overgrown plants. It took most of the first day for the AC to cool the house. WE FOUND LIVE BUGS IN TWO OF THE BEDS!!! The third bed has a tray that slides up and down over the bed to serve as a tray, but can't be removed from the bed which leaves no foot room. Upstairs there were several dead bugs and animal hair all over the family room. We called the rental service and the property manager, maintenance manager and housekeeping manager came over. They ended up spraying the house with insect killer, giving us a fan to use, and sheets so my son and I could sleep on the sofa upstairs. WE WERE NOT SLEEPING IN BEDS WITH BUGS! We were told there are always bugs on the sound side. In seven years going to the sound side, we have never had bugs like this. In addition, the pool clearly had not been vacuumed prior to our arrival. On the positive side, it was a beautiful location and very convenient to a lot of different things. The back yard landscaping was pretty, and the fenced in yard was nice to have for dogs. Unfortunately, we were very unhappy with the condition of the house though.
