We loved our stay. The house was clean. We absolutely loved the location.There are some things that could be updated, but everything worked as specified. The pool had an issue with the heater and it was not heated when we arrived, but Joanne was so very helpful and responsive. The pool guy got it fixed quickly and we were even refunded part of the fee. We loved the layout of the house with the rooms on the second and third floor, each having access to the decks. The hot tub was great and had a wonderful view of the ocean. We did not use the grill, because we brought our own. It did look like it needed cleaned though. Overall, it was wonderful and we would stay there again. A big thank you to Joanne for being so quick and responsive. She also took the time to validate my concerns prior to our stay based on other people’s reviews.

The house is a perfect size and set up for a large group. Great beach location. One of the deciding factors was the elevator as I brought my parents in their 80’s, it really was ideal for them and for getting all the supplies to the third floor kitchen. We rode out Tropical Storm Ophelia and other than some water leaks the house is pretty solid! We will definitely have stories for years to come! Overall a great vacation.

Check in was easy and contactless. Found the house and property clean. There was enough room for all of us. Found some sand throughout flooring but to be expected. Probably more when we left even though we swept daily. Great location and easy access to beach. Only a couple things need to be improved. 1. Fix sliding doors, they need an overhaul. 2. Replace kitchen faucet, hard to turn off. Joanne was readily available and addressed a couple concerns while we were there in a timely fashion. Much appreciated. Overall a great experience for our family.

The house is in a great location. Lots of room. Great views. HOWEVER… the house was dirty. Cleaning service was there less than two hours. The house was full of sand. The lower floors had a musty smell. We had to go buy several plug in air fresheners and Swifters to clean all the floors. There was a broken toilet and the jacuzzi tub gad a broken handle so no one could use it. Microwave stopped working on Wednesday and wasn’t fixed during our stay. Pool had weeds growing all around it. Bath tub/shower drains were slow to drain. Bath mats were dirty. Mold on the shower curtains. Dust everywhere. We paid too much money for any of these things to occur. Such a shame because it is set up nicely.

We had a great stay! House was very large, plenty of room for large families. Joanne was very helpful throughout stay!

The location of the property is very desirable but the house itself as well as the cleanliness was lacking. Upon exploring the house, we found that the floors in the bedrooms were covered with sand and slept in sand filled beds the first night. We had to wash all our bedding the following day as well as clean the floors. The grill was unusable due to heavy debris/char, the blender did not work, the childs high chair was missing the safety straps, there is a leak on the jet tub faucets, the sliding door in the main area had a water leak as well as the door in the top floor bedroom, the lamp was glued together & the pool table had damage to the felt & a large stain. We also found that the hot tub was not clean, which we contacted the owner and she sent out maintenance to deal with it in a timely manner. She also offered to send the cleaning lady back out but we had already cleaned ourselves. Later in our stay, we found that the pool heater quit working due to the water in the pool being too low to filter through the pump. We informed the owner of all of these issues which some she was aware of and did not inform us prior to our stay. She also informed us that it is “standard practice” that the quilts on the bed not be washed after every guest. The owner did refund half of the pool heat cost due to our issues. This was our first rental from VRBO and were very disappointed. I would not recommend this property to family or friends due to the list of issues we encountered.

Everyone enjoyed this beautiful home. Celebrated my husband's birthday, extremely happy and greatful. Thank you Joanne for your prompt responses and your kindness. You are appreciated 💛

We rate this property 5 out of 5! It was comfortable for two families. The elevator was very convenient for luggage and groceries. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

We had a wonderful stay at this house. It was spacious, clean and in a great location. It was perfect for our large group ranging from toddlers to grandparents. The host checked-in with us to ensure everything was okay and answered our questions quickly. We really enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning from the ocean-facing decks. We hope to stay here again in the future!

This was an amazing place to stay. The house was immaculate inside. Lots of room to spread out and enjoy our honeymoon. Everything we could have asked for. The grounds of the property were good but needs to be cleaned up a bit. Other guests have left unwanted beach gear and trash on grounds. Driveway needs to be manicured a bit, with the trees and shrubs encroaching in on the driveway, made it a little tight getting in. We are definitely going be staying there again.

We loved our time here and enjoyed this home so much! Communication with Joanne was fast and helpful. Highly recommend this property for family trips!

Enjoyable trip with family and friends and the house offered the perfect location for us to enjoy the beach and sceneries in the area. The communication issue was mainly with the VRBO app not working. The inbox (messaging between homeowner and myself) was not loading for a couple of days when we had the smoke detector/CO alarm issue at 5am. Handyman arrived the next day after phone calls. The biggest negative about this house is cleanliness. Aside from the wear and tear of the entire house - dipping floors, broken cabinet drawers and laundry door, ripped curtains, ripped sofa, loud exhaust; we also found a dead cockroach in the tub. we were told the house was on a pest control program but the dining table was sticky, fans and chandeliers need dusting, entire house need a general cleaning. we left the kitchen cleaner than we found it. there are also trash - old inflatables and swimming/beach gear strewn about property within the fenced in pool and driveway. the house needs a lot of repairs and upgrading. recommend getting this done to refresh the listing. Unfortunately, we will not stay here again.

We rented at the end of the season and it showed. House could use a good cleaning; trash and broken beach accessories (chairs, umbrellas, toys) left strewn inside and around the carport and pool area. With a very high cleaning fee plus a pet fee, I would have expected better. Overall we had an enjoyable stay.

We LOVED this home and it’s location! The kitchen was stocked very well with all cooking needs. All bedrooms had access to the balcony’s! Pool was a big hit with the kids. Nothing but great things to say about this home.

Excellent place!

Comfortable house for family use. We really enjoyed sitting on the top level deck and watching the folks come and go over the dunes. But the pool was the favorite space for the family. We got in some swimming lessons and the kids had a great time.

This is a great house and location for a family vacation. Enjoyed the beach, pool and hot tub. Loved the setup. House has plenty of space, lots of windows and light and is well equipped. My only complaint would be that it wasn’t as clean as it could be. The ceiling fans are covered with dust and the shower curtain liners were not clean (we replaced those). But these are minor matters and should be quite easy to fix. Overall we really loved this property.

Overall the property is very nice and fit us well (our family config: 2 married couples, 1 add'l adult child, 4 teens (2 girls, 2 boys). Layout especially common areas was great. Kitchen was outfitted well (and the 'frig and ice maker kept up under high demand). House held AC well, though bottom level (including bunkroom) tended towards too warm (even with shared second level thermostat was cranked cooler). Pool and hot tub were both hits! Renters should know it is a bit of a trek across hot sand to the beach. Also, the beach directly in back of the house is narrow with a drop-off (this might be a one-time thing...couldn't tell) but one could walk 75 yards either way and have wider beach. Lisa's Pizzeria was a hit, as was Austen Seafood (store). Salvo itself offered adequate options for groceries, stores and a couple of decent restaurants. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the property and the week! Sunday-to-Sunday made for a calmer entry/exit!

House was wonderful and had everything we needed- pool was great size for all the kids to play in, beach is very close. Very helpful host as well. Would definitely stay here again, it was beautiful!

Great property. Set back from ocean by primary and secondary dunes which was lovely. Sunday checkin is a plus for us. Easy communication.

This home is ideal for large groups. While we only had 7 people, each teen was able to have their own private room. Weather was quite cold so having a heated pool and hot tub saved the trip.

We had a great stay at this house. The elevator was very convenient, and I love having the ocean in the backyard. We plan to return next year and would highly recommend this house to anyone.

This house was perfect for our stay around the Thanksgiving holiday. We enjoyed the location on a quiet cul-de-sac. The kids enjoyed the game room and running over the dunes and onto the beach. The house was clean and there were no maintenance issues. The kitchen was well-stocked and the beds were comfortable. No need to look further - this house is great!

We have been coming to the Outer Banks for 15 years; we visited this time of the year for fishing. The ramp, elevator, and handicap-friendly shower really set this home apart from other oceanfront options. The no-contact check-in and check-out were very convenient. The house was comfortable and in a great location. The host was very accommodating. We hope this home is available the next time we visit.

We were thrilled to find this home on VRBO after staying here previously when it was in a rental program. This home was perfect for our family and the location can’t be beat. We enjoyed the convenience of the beach in the backyard and the private pool and hot tub. Sitting on the decks watching the sun rise and set never got old. The home is well-appointed and had almost everything we could want. You can tell the owners take pride in their home. The cleaners left the home spotless, unlike some other local rentals we’ve stayed in with sub-par cleaning jobs. It was so convenient having an elevator for luggage and groceries. We had such a great stay and are already planning to return to this home next summer.
