Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First off I want to make it clear that if looking to stay in this house do not bring anyone where stairs are trouble. There are flights of stairs to get to everything in and around the house as well and a hike to the beach. Aside from that and that there are some parts of the house that are dilapidated we had a great time. There were aspects that you can tell the owner tried to make the stay comfortable that maybe others might miss. New floors in the living area, living room furniture in great shape, the hot tub seems almost new AND the AC did a great job keeping us cool. The house exterior could benefit from some work as well as a thorough cleaning (construction materials littering the grounds).

Location was phenomenal to the beach. We could bring our dog. The pool was fantastic for the grandbaby and for us older folks. The hot tub was a nice evening soak to relax and enjoy the sound of the waves. Plenty of room for everyone. Very private to enjoy family without lots of distractions. Ready to go back again!

I loved the location. The property is owned by a “slum lord”. Refused to fix hole in bathroom. Dirty. Screens broken. Cobwebs and spiders. Microwave sparked when we turned it on. Refrigerator leaks. Filthy outside of fridge rusty. Piles of junk and broken furniture around pool. Carpet filthy. Pillows stained yellow. Nightmare😩

The house was accurately described and depicted. I read a handful of reviews that complained of the cleanliness and damages. While obvious that this house needs some upgrades and repairs, it still had everything we needed and worked just the way we needed. The ceiling on the first floor was wrecked and there were towel racks and shower bars missing but the location was unbeatable. We drove on the beach a few days and walked to the beach near the house a few days. Would 100% stay here again. We had an issue with the AC one day for a few hours and the maintenance department was on top of it and so communicative. Overall any concerns with this house are superficial and cosmetic at most.

We had a great week! The proximity to the beach is amazing!! The house could use some updates, but it was very comfortable! The furniture was nice and comfortable, but some of the the bed’s mattress’ could use replacing. There’s a grocery store within minutes. The cleanliness wasn’t the best. They might want to consider a different cleaner. Be sure to bring plenty of trash bags, toilet paper for 3 restrooms, paper towels, bed sheets, pillow cases, and dishwasher soap, because none of that’s provided.

The house was dirty and needed many repairs even the pool need repairs. Took pics as per the property management and sent them in so i wouldn't be held responsible. Dishwasher broke but was replaced quickly. The kitchen and bathrooms all needed to be updated. But it was in a good spot close to the beach.

Good location, however the house was not clean upon arrival.

Reviewer Comments: Semi-Ocean View clouded by Neglected MaintenanceRating: ★★☆☆☆ (2 out of 5 stars)Our family vacation to the Outer Banks was a mixed bag of experiences due to the state of the vacation home we stayed in. The home boasts an impressive location, with a partial ocean view and convenient 30 second walk to the beach (the only house without a walkway to the communal walkway).However, upon entering the home, we were greeted by an unpalatable sight. The overall cleanliness of the property left much to be desired. There was a pervasive lack of attention to detail that was immediately apparent. It seemed like the property hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in some time. This was especially true of the exterior doors and windows, which were smeared with fingerprints, we were told by the cleaning crew that they ‘do not clean exteriors’.The house itself felt dated and untouched since the early 2000s, with wear and tear evident in many areas. It was a disappointment to see that the homeowners hadn't invested in any significant updates or repairs. Many aspects of the house were sub-par and this significantly detracted from our overall comfort and enjoyment during our stay.One saving grace was the pool, which was enjoyable once it was cleaned. We were disappointed, however, to find it in a less than pristine state upon our arrival, and it required additional cleaning by a pool professional. This incident, though resolved, further emphasized the overarching theme of poor maintenance.As for the service, the cleaning crew's policy of not cleaning exteriors left us with an added burden, detracting from our valuable vacation time. This policy, combined with the overall state of the home, left a bad taste in our mouth. Especially because we ended up cleaning the fingerprints off ourselves. In conclusion, while the location of this vacation home is undeniably fantastic, the lack of cleanliness and overall disrep
