This house was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. The kitchen and common areas are big and well functioning. The bedrooms are a great size and comfortable. The beach is so close! Our only issues were with the dishwasher and the dryer not working unfortunately for most of our stay. Once the appliances are addressed this house will be perfection! We did see some bugs but not on the first day, be sure to be diligent with the doors going in and out because the beautiful trees have lots of bugs in them.

The location of the home was perfect and quiet. Beautiful community. Pool was clean and relaxing short walk to beach and pool. As for the homes cleaning company didnt clean all dishes or some sheets. Had to sweep sand from floors on main level. Coffee pot had molded full coffee filter that had been there for wks maybe. The upstairs bathroom ceilings both had a lot of mold showing. Told management company its a major issue. Management company was good to deal with except no adress to send pics of mold to. Also there were 4 full bags of trash in garage and the trash pickup on Tuesday an s friday never came and laundry bag was out on front porch when we arrived annd no one came all wk to pickup. Overall the house worked and location was good. The house is a nice place just needs a lot of tlc

This house was a great size and layout for our family of eight people! The kitchen had everything we needed to make family dinners almost every night, and the walk from the beach was really easy and quick. We would definitely return!

The Great: Loved the location and spaciousness. Easy to access the beach, pools, tennis/pickleball, and basketball goals. 15 minute walk to the marina. Great spot with privacy, but close to Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle and their amenities. 25 minute drive to Beaufort. Couldn’t ask for a better location or the open floor plan on the main level for everyone to enjoy each others company. Highly recommend! The Not as Great: Although communicated by VACASA, ice maker in the freezer and dishwasher did not work properly for part/all of the week. Some updates to fixtures (sliding glass door blinds) and sliding glass doors themselves (rusting on tracks on 3rd floor), not easy to open. Driveway can be a bear for larger vehicles (Tahoe/Suburban size). All in all, very minor issues for the value and location, would highly recommend!

We have been renting beach homes in the area for the last 12 years. This is the first time I’ve ever been disappointed with our choice in rentals. And the first time we have ever had issues we had to call about.

Great room the kitchen was large and well equipped. Would stay here again with more family.

Ocean Escape is well furnished with a quick walk to the beach. It was very clean and felt pretty new. It has lots of room for large groups to spread out. The beach is a short walk away and it was nice to have a community pool and tennis courts (they even have pickle ball). We had several maintenance issues in the first couple of days and Vacasa was amazing at handling them! We were disappointed that the elevator that was in the listing was not available. We arrived during a big storm and it would have been nice to avoid unloading in the rain. One thing that was not clear in the listing is that the lower level is not accessible from the main house (would be with the elevator). This is nice if some of your guests need their own space but our group felt disconnected. The kitchen is not well-equipped, especially for large families. There were very few pots and pans (not even a cookie sheet). Overall, we enjoyed our time at Ocean Escape!
