I loved the location and house. Very well outfitted. Would stay again. 3 negatives. 1. Dead roaches found on floor not vacuumed up. 2. Outside water hose and nozzle needs to be replaced. It’s in bad shape. 3 some loose boards on back deck. Outside of this it was fantastic. Will stay again.

The house was very dirty. The bed was made with wrong size sheet so only half the bed was made. No screen door on patio door. Wood slats coming up on deck. Ceiling fans were very dirty. Countertop in kitchen was very disgusting. The paper towel we used was very dirty. The windows had so much dirt on them. The dining room table had paint chipping off and chairs looked like they were so dirty you didn’t want to sit on them. Not my kind of place at all. Never experienced this kind of house in 18 years. Never again. What a waste of money. The only thing good was the view. The lamp in bedroom had to be plugged in cause no switch on it. Other lamp was beat up. Didn’t sit on table properly. Will never rent again. Picture is deceiving.

The oceanfront view is the best and an easy walk out to the beach. Seeing the Avon pier at a distance is nice to people watch.

The home is overall beautiful but does need some TLC. There are areas in the kitchen, especially by the main sink, where the paint is peeling badly. Dining room furniture could use an update…strip table and repaint…either new chairs or reupholster, they are badly stained. The two showers we utilized also need their shower heads replaced. I recommend more attention to cleaning bathroom hardware, otherwise very clean! Maybe condense the storage of kitchen ware to allow cabinet space to store food…there’s no pantry. There was a lot of trash on the outside of the property, especially the rear!!! Our family enjoyed the stay very much, highly considering staying at this home again!!! Beautiful ocean views!!!

The home is perfectly located, the path to the beach was helpful. The cheap flooring upstairs makes for a creeky walk at all times of the day. The front door needs to be adjusted because only the larger men could open it. The hose to wash your feet off had about 17 holes in it (I ended up buying my own to use for the week and brought it home). If a little TLC would go into the home it would have been a perfect two weeks.

24/7 support and professional cleaning did not happen! I rent this cottage for the view and this was the last time I’m renting it. When your customer has a valid complaint you need to take care of them.

The microwave had food exploded in it. Dishes in the cabinets were dirty with food on them. Shower doors moldy. Baseboards never cleaned. Kitchen sink wall black mold behind peeling paint. Someone left cigarette buds in a plastic bottle on the porch full of water, gross. Lots of trash around house, in grass and under bushes. This house needs a lot of attention and care.

Comfortable oceanfront home. Good layout for several families to share and even better views. But the house has been poorly maintained and was not very clean when we checked in.

overall the property is nice but oceanfront air is brutal to housing. so it has the normal oceanfront wear no screens in the windows. very well stocked with pots and pans beds are nice the location makes up for all short falls

Amazing view of the ocean, we enjoyed the house. The house just needs a little bit of TLC but overall it was enjoyable.

Loved the location and the set up of the house was very convenient for a large family of adults. Cleanliness of the house was disappointing.

Very nice home with lots of space. The ocean view is spectacular!

Property was very nice with an awesome panoramic view of the ocean!

Lots of space. Good location and right on the beach. Provided all amenities as listed. Thank you vacasa!

We love to stay here off season because the view is so beautiful (the pictures in the listing do not even do it justice at all). We are a family of 8 so this house is nice and big! Since our last stay, they have updated the living room furniture and it's so much more comfy now!

We stayed at Poetry in Motion for an annual fishing weekend. Amazing location and the home was in fine shape for late in the season. We had a bit of a hiccup with the cable service, but Vacasa was super helpful getting that issue straight in a timely and professional manner.

Very dirty, maintenance on the home was awful. Very disappointing. The best part of the home was the view, and that is the only reason I am giving it 2 stars vs 1.

The house was gorgeous and the dunes were not as big as some eat walking to the beach

Ocean view and easy access to get on the beach.

Great location and amazing view of fireworks from top deck! Oven did not work. Do not think it was a new problem repairman came day we reported replaced with convection oven no follow up after

Perfect location, beautiful and clean home!

great house, right on the beach, lovely views, breathtaking sunrises. this house was perfect for a relaxing family beach vacation. The pictures are an accurate depiction. The house is on 3 levels, so this is not a god choice for those with mobility issues. plenty of parking. large outdoor shower that had better pressure than the master bath. If you love to cook bring a good knife and cutting board, and kitchen towels. There is a great seafood market right down street and many nights we bought seafood and cooked in. The beach and ocean were clean and gorgeous. Nice and quiet also, but this may change as the season continues. My only critique is that the house cleaning services could be improved. All in all we loved our trip to OBX!

We enjoyed our stay and the location was super convenient! There wasn’t a stock pot at the home and we always to low country boil. So I bought one and left it there for others to use in the future. I was also disappointed that there were no hot pot mats in the kitchen and no dish cloth (for washing - there were 2 dish towels, but they were larger, for drying, etc...). But overall, it was clean and a good fit for our family of 8. I am a little concerned that in the future the beach will be more crowded due to the campground opening at the pier.

We didn't have near enough towels and we stayed two weeks, so we had to do a lot of laundry. Only one setof sheets for two weeks as well. The frig leaked, the washer broke and ran water all over the floor, and the oven wouldn't even brown pizza crust. Alsothe left front burner only works on high. House keeper needs to clean under the beds !

Location right on the beach and close to a great number of restaurants. Would come back again!

This house has the most beautiful view of the beach. The weather didn’t cooperate during our visit, but we could still enjoy the ocean view. The layout of the house is great. Nice furniture and the kitchen was stocked with nice cookware. They also have games and books for you to enjoy. My only complaint was that the cable didn’t work in three of the bedrooms. It took me several calls to get someone out to look at it. Even though it was an issue with the cable company it would have been nice if they had made the necessary calls sooner than they did. We finally got the cable in those rooms with about 3 days left in our stay. Other than that, everything was perfect.

This house had awesome views of the ocean and is close to restaurants. Nicely laid out upper story - a great room with the kitchen, dining, and living rooms all together.

We woke up each morning laying in bed watching the sun rise over the ocean. The three larger rooms all have great views. There were a few signs of wear on the house but nothing major. The furniture was nice. Beds were comfy. Stove and dishwasher worked well so overall this house was a great place to stay.

This house was absolutely gorgeous - we felt we had the best view on the Outer Banks! It's a huge house with lots of room for everyone.

The furniture isn't the most comfortable and the floors are incredibly slick (way slicker than any hardwood I've ever been on). We all slipped numerous times...ha! So, bring some socks with rubber bottoms! ;)

We will definitely be back! It's perfect for our family!

The home itself is nice, great location BUT very dated and could use some updates. Not entirely as nice as in the pictures. The beds were very uncomfortable and overall the house was very dirty!!! We spent half the afternoon once we got there cleaning. The mattress pad in one room was torn to shreds, one bed did'nt even have it and the other pad and blanket was very soiled in something??? Called housekeeping and they did replace and supply mattress pads, should have spotted it when they cleaned! Upstairs toilet ran constantly which was awful for the person sleeping in the room below it since it sounded like a waterfall. There was hair and sand in the tub in one room. Common bathroom shower head leaked constantly. Fixtures were dated and rusted, kitchen cabinets were caulked together in corners, dresser and nightstand drawers were falling out, headboard in one room had been broken and screws were hanging out, game room had no light, vaccum cleaner bag was full which is why when you vaccumed it spit everything out the back, it even had a tag on it from maintenance. If housekeeping would have actually cleaned it would not have been so bad. Outside was littered in trash and random furniture was thrown under house where you had to either move it or step over/on it to get to beach, lounge chairs were broken, no screens in windows and most sliding door blinds were missing. We put trash bins to road twice as email reminder said to do and when we left Saturday morning trash still not picked up.......feel really bad for the next tenants, trash was bagged and in bins but after a week in the hot sun its raunchy! Sorry but no wonder Hatteras Realty is hiring housekeepers and inspectors, the current ones arent doing their job and more than likely this family will not be using them again. Hate it for the actual owners of the home, Id be livid if I was them!
