House was okay. Time for renovations/ upgrades

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Starfish. The home is located in a development near the site of the old Coast Guard station. While somewhat dated, we found it very adequate for us. The house was clean and everything functioned as it should.

close to the ocean/beach. short walking distance to shops. quiet neighborhood area. unit was clean and fairly well stocked.

The home smelled of cat urine horrible, my son is deathly allergic to cats and was sick the whole trip, we were only aware of dogs being able to at this property and cats are his only severe allergy, the upstairs bedrooms were filled with tiny ants and the beds were very uncomfortable, the supply of wash cloths was slim to none for a family of 4 we had to buy loofas for our stay after day 1, the location was perfect which was the best perk

The Starfish house is in a great location. Short walk to the beach or town and excellent views of the ocean and the lighthouse. This is not a four star hotel but it is a great beach house. House was generally clean but well worn, not dirty but worn. Kitchen was well stocked and there was lots of room for an extended family vacation. Basic furnishings were clean and comfy, bedrooms were the same. The proximity to everything in Buxton is a huge plus. You can walk or bike almost everywhere. Back 3 bedrooms have great views but you should be ready for the light from the lighthouse at night, didn’t disturb sleep but was a surprise the first night. If you bring the pups watch out for the cactus and spiky weeds in the wild grass areas. Overall great location and a solid OBX rental.

We had a major pipe break and flood most of the downstairs. They came that night, got us to a new house for the night and had our house cleaned and ready for us to move back in by the next afternoon. The house was clean and well supplied with everything you need. My only complaint was the kitchen chairs were not very comfortable and the beach access was a little deceiving. There was direct access to the beach parking but the actual beach entrance was much farther away but still walkable. Would definitely rent again.

I loved how close the beach was. The beds were a little uncomfortable but everyone was so tired that it didn’t really matter lol. Would definitely go back again

We had a great time with the family for a 4-day vacation. House was clean when we arrived. It is a 2-3mins walk away from the beach and the lighthouse is like 10mins beach walk. The beach is not that crowded. Sunrise is a must see thing so don’t miss it! Grocery store nearby 5mins drive, Conner’s Supermarket highly recommended. Another thing I like most is that the house has a very good airconditioning which is perfect for the summer. The only thing I would like to recommend is that kindly provide more pillows and blankets for each rooms and better mattress as well. Thank you for the staff and crew! We had a memorable family vacation!

Location was great. Staff was wonderful ! Could use some updates like some of the beds and fridge was a bit loud. A grill would have been great ! And access to a closer pool ! Maybe some baby gates to block off stairs and a high chair/pack and play even rentalable ones ! Just some ideas ! But overall great place great location !!!!!

The location and views were great. The house is very dated and needs a lot of maintenance.

We enjoyed our stay in Buxton! The rental was easy to locate and close to the beach. We wish that it was more updated and provided more amenities, but overall it was nice.

I expected it to be older and outdated. I expected it to be CLEAN. I wiped this place down with cleaning cloths. It was a disappointment from day 1. Day 2- microwave and coffee maker break. The maintenance guy was super nice. He took care of the appliances. That evening came the mouse!!! I should have known what I was getting into by the low cost. It was worth the low cost!! I’ll never see it again. Not sure I’ll even use this VRBO again!! It’s misleading!

This rental is in an awesome location. We had views of Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and of the ocean. Our main objective was to visit the lighthouses, so having one in site was quite nice! It was a very short walk from the back door to the beach and to the original site of the lighthouse. This rental is very spacious and had everything you need for a great vacation. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and dishes/pots. It was great to have on-site washer and dryer!! It is, however, in need of some loving care. There are some repairs and renovations needed. The microwave didn’t work, the screen on the back door was torn, many of the door blinds were broken, and the door to the 2nd floor balcony wouldn’t lock. The kitchen, baths and linens were all clean, but the baseboards, lampshades and other areas need to be cleaned. I know we were there in the off season, but I assume it gets a good cleaning before the official vacation season begins. In all, it was nice and we would stay there again at the price we paid.

The house was clean and spacious. However, the neighborhood/location of the house was by far the best part! The beach was a short 4 minute walk away, and had a parking lot as well for closer access. Oftentimes we felt as though we had a private beach to ourselves, and we were able to get a permit for bonfires on the beach! Overall, an excellent stay!
