Home was clean with a nice layout. Kitchen well stocked with dishes utensils and cooking pans. Out door grill has a gas line. Nice pool and hot tub with 2 outdoor showers. Outside of home needs some work. Torn screens on porch. Decks need some sanding and painting. House sits along a busy road and is noisy sitting outside and you need to be very careful crossing street to beach. During our stay we had little to no Wi-Fi service and no streaming for TV because of no internet during the entire week. When we called for repair someone came immediately but it could not be fixed during our stay. Apparently had been a problem at this home for some time even before our stay. Overall a great vacation!

Was a little worried heading to the rental due to some on line reviews but was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The location was great. The inside of the property was wonderful. The outside could use some maintenance but nothing horrible.

We had an absolutely wonderful week in Southern Shores. It was just my husband, son and I with our Silver Lab., so there was more than enough room for all. The common space was awesome - quite large and open and lead to both a deck and screened porch - and accommodated a couple of dinners with friends who were also renting a house for the week. The pool and hot tub were nice to have, as well! Plenty of seating and the covered area was great for taking a break from the sun. The only negatives I saw was the front lawn and bushes was littered with trash when we arrived - most likely, blown into the yard during the previous weeks' storms. Also, the trash and recycling cans were all overflowing when we arrived - the previous renters most likely could not figure out the trash schedule. Finally, the road is quite busy and loud during the day, as expected, but calmed down significantly as the sun set each evening. This wasn't a real problem for us, as we spent most of our time during the day at the beach - perfect weather! Everything else was absolutely awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

The house is old and you can tell by the looks in the outside and inside but also by the terrible smell. As soon as we got there, we noticed that the jacuzzi was dirty ( yellow foam and the water was not clear). Also the grill that is available was absolutely disgusting, it was clear that it was not clean and made the room smell greasy. The last drop was when we found cockroaches in the dishwasher and then coming out of the bottom of the refrigerator. This was not a pleasant stay and I invited my family to stay with us. Horrible!!!

The location of this property is very nice. The house itself however could really use an update and refresh. The bright spot was the property management firm. When we checked in the furnace wasn’t working and it was after working hours. Their on-call representative was at the house within 5 minutes and when he realized he couldn’t fix the heat he was back within 30 minutes with space heaters for each room. Outer Banks Blue got the repairman out the next day who fixed the issue. If you select this property make sure you bring basic necessities such as coffee filters, salt, pepper, etc as the property has nothing. Also, you will need to bring hair dryers as no hair dryer is provided either. The property is ok but I wouldn’t stay here again.

The property was in a great location with a gorgeous view of the ocean. We could walk right across the street to the beach. My husband, children and grandchild were together each day. My favorite part of the home was the level with the kitchen, bar, dinning room and living room altogether. It was spacious and comfortable for us all to be in one area. We had a lovely time.

Location is great. House layout is nice. Adequate amenities. House could use a good thorough cleaning and repairs/ updates on items. DirecTV didn't work so no TV while there, was their issue but still inconvenient and seems to be an ongoing issue they've had. Nails in carpeting sticking up in places are a hazard. Had some bugs trying to vacation with us but they weren't welcome. Would consider staying here again if above mentioned items taken care of.

Had a great stay. Only issue was cockroaches that we had to deal with
