We had a great experience at Beach Stars. Proximity to water was amazing.

The beach was gorgeous and the home was beautiful! Loved the location with nearby restaurants and stores. Avon is more quiet and much less populated than Nags Head and Kitty Hawk area. The home should have been cleaner and supplied with adequate towels and wash cloths. Only had 3 each for 8 people.

We stayed in this home last year, overall good experience with some minor flaws as expected. This year we arrived to an atrociously dirty home at 6pm. 4 pm is already late then being pushed to 6 is even more unfortunate. Upon arrival we open the door and see sand everywhere and I’m not talking the little expected sand, I’m talking a lot. Evidence of a quick brush of floors but not vacuumed. Sand filled tub, old residents items left behind, visibly dirty surfaces in all rooms. No Wi-Fi connection, cable not working in 2 bedrooms, toilet that kept running. Very poorly maintained and managed. While Vacasa did try to help, it certainly dampened our trip as now myself and other family had to deep clean the home, make several phone calls to address above issues. Minimal compensation was given to us for our unfortunate stay. These events could happen in any home I am aware of that. We may consider pausing obx trips until they can get better staffing. Vacasa still blaming ‘COVID’ for issues.

This house went above and beyond our expectations. Perfect location (great fishing spot right in front of house ) . Kitchen was stocked extremely well . Very convenient and just had everything we needed.

Although this home was ideal for location to beach, it left ALOT to be desired … this home was DIRTY. 3 of beds not made, floors were nasty, rugs not vacuumed towels were provided but not put in bathrooms. Major leaks in sliding glass doors water running thru length of living area so sad this home has great potential.

We were so excited to arrive to this perfectly placed, ocean-front property and immediately enjoyed the amazing decks overlooking the dunes and the ocean. Our pup loved it too. The top floor is almost all windows and is light and bright and a great place to hang. However, we almost immediately noticed that the place was, well, filthy. The floors were and counters had crumbs and dust all over them, despite us being assured that a cleaning crew had visited the property. There was sand in some of the beds. The couch cushions and blanket were visibly dirty and stained. The outdoor shower was literally filled with sand, feet high. The outdoor crate of beach supplies, which initially seemed like an awesome touch, was filled with dangerously sharp and rusty items that were caked in mold. It was as if this place has no true people overseeing the property. We also had to call maintenance to fix all of the dining room chairs that were about to collapse. We truly loved our vacation and if the cleaning and maintenance issues are addressed, it will be a gem. But, based on other reviews and reviews of the cleaning service in Avon, NC, it sounds like no one is capable of properly cleaning this place currently, which is extra gross in the middle of a pandemic. The price, the proximity to the beach and the amazing view from the deck are 5-star, but book with caution if you care about cleanliness. There are no real cleaning supplies so we had to buy our own. Also, we were without internet the first day because the service was down. However, the support team had us up and running very quickly and were very responsive.

This house was very dirty inside with roaches in one of the bathrooms. The internet was bad. The upstairs air was poor with a dirty filter. Trash outside on the ground. Old food on the “outside grill”. Microwave door cracked. Broken outside furniture. This was our first bad experience with a VRBO rental. We came home two days early! We have asked for our cleaning fee back as the house wasn’t cleaned for us!

This property could be very nice if it the floors were vacuumed before we arrived. Very dirty upstairs and downstairs. When we arrived we only had 2 rolls of toilet paper for 5 people. Called the office to get more, they did send more right away since 2 rolls weren’t going to last for a week. I feel that I should have been paid for all the cleaning I did! I left the house in better shape than when we arrived. The area is great, very private for the week we were here. I did enjoy the house but I guess the owner just did enough painting throughout the house to get by.

The view of the ocean and proximity to the beach made Beach Stars one of our favorite houses to ever have rented in OBX. I deducted one star because the pathway over the dunes needs to be pruned pretty badly. Other than that, this house was perfect for our family of 4 and our Labrador.
