The location of this rental was very nice, close to the beach and shopping. This was the dirtiest place I have ever stayed in. The vents and fans were covered with dust, there was poop on the baseboard in the bathroom. The first few nights people in our party had headaches from the dust and one person had to get a refill for their inhaler that they rarely use. It was nice being together but I wish it was in a cleaner place. We did call and complain to the management company who sent out the cleaners again, when they came they left the car running came into the house and mopped the kitchen floor and left.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very 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: The house is beautiful and spacious. It is very well stocked. However, it really needs some TLC. It needs top to bottom cleaning. Floors, ceiling fans, AC filter, need to wash all of the bedspreads, shampoo the carpet or replace it. The shower curtains had mold on them. The dryer needs to be replaced because it only dries on one setting and takes a long time. The exterior needs landscaping, pressure wash the building, repair some exterior facia/wood. Clean up carport area. Kitchen appliances and cabinets need to be cleaned. I sent this message to the management company. All they did was drop off a new toaster and one shower curtain. They never even replied to my other comments about repair and cleaning. House has potential under new management.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second year at Kandel. The space,layout and location is perfect for our larger group (14). We have noticed some wear on the home's general condition. There are a few areas that need some work. The toaster didn't work (2nd year in a row, same toaster), furnishings could use a refresh, some rust on shower curtain holders, hot tub cover strap was busted, carpets could probably be replaced. Nothing major but it was still noted amongst our group. Pool/hot tub were good and they were cleaned while we were there. We were disappointed on the cleanliness upon our arrival, while we had early check in and were notified the property was ready via text, the cleaners were just leaving as we pulled in (about 1.5 hours after the text). It appeared as if they hadn't done much. There were food remnants on furniture, floors and counters. Some of the showers looked as if they hadn't been touched. In the interest of full disclosure, we didn't reach out to the property managers because we didn't want to have to wait to have someone come back. We just took care of it ourselves. The linen service was a huge PLUS. Overall we would recommend this property as we have already reserved for next year. Hopefully there will be some off-season updating.

Great location, 5min away from a shopping center and great restaurants. The 2 min walk to the beach was awesome. Will definitely be back!

Property and Location was perfect for our vacation.

Nice time. HVAC unit went down service tech repaired Could use carpets to be cleaned A good spring cleaning needed

When we arrived our first impression was how filthy the place was. Food residue on the refrigerator handle, dead fruit flies in the refrigerator, old food in the microwave, dishes in the dishwasher, bathrooms were cleaned maybe half. Outdoor furniture completely busted up and the hot tub had murky water. None of the bedrooms have been vacuum in a long time. We found Cheetos, popcorn and dead bugs. This place has potential, but needs some updating and more then anything better housekeeping! Would not recommend.

Great location. Easy access to everything

The property was ideally situated both really close to the beach and the main shopping centers. The house itself was fantastic! The pool was a welcome break from the heat when it was too hot to go to the beach. The house had plenty of space and we all loved the main living room area on the top floor to hang out together. Only negatives were the bugs, just need to be careful opening/closing doors in the evening. Overall I would highly recommend the place and hope to be back again!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were extremely disappointed with the overall experience of renting this home. It was our least favorite rental in the 23 years of vacationing in the Outer Banks. We don't feel that things are kept up with at this home nor was the cleaning prior to arrival the same level that we have experienced with our realtors.

Reviewer Comments: Loved how well set up this house was and it's proximity to the beach as well as all the great things to do in Corolla (lighthouse, seafood, movies, mini golf, shopping, adventure ropes course). The adult beds were comfortable and the children's bunks didn't squeak, everyone enjoyed the picnic table on the deck, the good size kitchen, the pool table, outdoor pool, hot tub, hammock-would definitely recommend!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was Great, I liked the fact we were near the shopping and a lot of places we could take kids to dinner and let the adults get away as well. The one thing I would like to see updated is the TV unit upstairs in the Great Room 3 remote controls is pretty much out of sight, turning on, changing channels and working the DVR are kind of a pain in the butt, we end up doing everything manually.
Other then that a Great Vacation.
Thank you,

We had a very relaxing time at the Kandel in the Wind. Everything was pretty clean (had a little trouble with my allergies). The heated pool was perfect for the week we were there. The location was great, we even walked to breakfast one day. We did miss out on seeing the wild horses which was disappointing. I would mention that the dryer didn't really work had to run clothes through it multiple times and for families that don't have small children the alarm on the door near the pool was a little frustrating. Overall we had a wonderful stay. Thanks again, Cross Family

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 6 of my best friends and I spent a week at this property. Everything was absolutely beautiful and amazing. The location was great for what we needed... the beach was just at the end of the road, grocery stores were convenient, and it wasn't too far from other shopping spots/restaurants. We were a little sad that we had paid for the heated pool and it didn't work for the first three days that we were there but once it was fixed, we definitely utilized it as much as we could. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone who asked about it! It was absolutely amazing!
