Great House and Great Maintenance Response

We really enjoyed our stay. There were a few small issues day 1 that maintenance responded to immediately. They were quick and friendly. The house it's self had a good layout and decent bedding. The water was hot for the shower so that was great. Water pressure was decent. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all week.

Very clean quiet home, walking distance to the beach

Property was great, nice comfy home with comfy beds! However when we arrived there was a note left on the fridge from the previous guests that the hot tub heater was not working. Come to find out it wasn’t working when we arrived. Called after hours maintenance and someone came out the next day to service it, however it was still not heating up. I then called Vacasa to inform them that the hot tub was still not working and the lady on the phone told me that 82 was a normal temperature for a hot tub (a simple google search completely proves that statement wrong) to avoid getting upset I hung up the phone. Next day I went to the Hatteras rental office to get some someone to fix the hot tub. This was a girls trip and we specifically rented this house because it had a hot tub. The woman at the office was going to send out a maintenance person. Upon his arrival he tried to reset it and explained to me that this hot tub had been down most of the summer! I found this very upsetting that the rental office would knowingly rent out a property with a dysfunctional hot tub. Not to mention the condition of the hot tub. The cover is in complete disrepair so it was very difficult to cover and uncover it. It really put a big damper on our girls trip. Please call ahead if you are planning to rent this property. I’m pretty sure the hot tub will not be fixed.

Cozy house and good for larger families

This house was great for the most part. The first day we checked in, we noticed that the hot tub wasn’t working, finally got ahold of someone the next day and were basically told they’d get to it whenever they get to it, it never got fixed. Also, the ice machine didn’t work. Like another review stated, it would have been nice to know that we would’ve needed to bring more toilet paper, dish detergent, laundry detergent and paper towels. The hours for the community pool (a little over a mile away) were limited and food options in Avon were difficult to get food for dinner but luckily there is a Food Lion close by. The only other issue we had was location, you have to drive an hour for any main attractions, which for some would be great!

Relaxing stay at the beach

The house was very spacious for all 6 of us and our dog. The family/kitchen area was spacious and was the perfect gathering place for meals and family games on the large dining table. We enjoyed the top deck for sunrises and sunsets. The bedrooms had plenty of space and the beds were comfortable. The two master bedrooms had lbig walk-in closets. The deck off the second level was larger than we expected. The ocean-side beach was about a five minute walk away and easy to get to. The sound-side beach was about a five minute drive south. It was nice to have both options. This house was one of the best vacation houses we’ve ever rented for our family!

Thanksgiving in Avon

As Good As It Gets is in a quiet location just a couple minutes walk from the beach. The neighborhood is right on the edge of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, with views of the Pamlico Sound. The kitchen is well stocked with everything one would need to make Thanksgiving dinner. Overall, a great property that our family enjoyed making memories at.

Great layout and location

This house was very well stocked in the kitchen and just a short walk to beach. Food lion just down the road a bit. And Duck Donuts :-) Loved the outside hot tub on the top deck. We needed a pet friendly place and this was clean and nice. The only minor complaint is that the place needs an updated decor- the pictures are faded and there is a lot of older decor that is very dusty. all the games/books/dvds are from the 80s and 90s but we liked that. but this is minor. J with a renovated interior on the decor, this place is 5+ star!!! The neighbors next door were nice and quiet. We will return I feel sure.

As far south as you can go before reaching the Hatteras Nat'l Seashore. Beach - 3 minute walk, beautiful, blue water. Nice sunset views to the west over the sound. AC worked great. All was very clean. Everything you need in a beach rental.

thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

My 3 teens (15, 17, 19) and I really enjoyed our stay at It's As Good As It Gets. It is spacious and comfortable. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with pots/pans/knives/etc. We all loved the choice of movies for family movie night. We did have some initial difficulty figuring out how to get the controllers to turn the TV, DVD player on (even with 3 teens!). It would have been helpful to have the remotes labeled and instructions. the HDMI cable had to be plugged into a different port. Everything great after that! Comfortable places to curl up and read. Decor is homey. Thank you to the owners and VRBO/Hatteras for making our stay easy.

Great place to spend a week!

It was a great location, far enough away from the center of town for less traffic, yet close enough to the shopping areas. A short walk away to a beach entrance and a quiet neighborhood. The house was well stocked with appliances & kitchen utensils, plus it came with linens. We didn't have any issues with anything to do with the house. It was a very relaxing & worry free stay.

Amazingly equipped kitchen and amenities

We were a little skeptical when we read the previous reviews, but the home seemed to be just what we were looking for. 3 bedroom suites, plus two additional bedrooms for our multigenerational family grouping of 10. So we came from 600-1500 miles to gather for a week. Weather was perfect, and we cooked 4 meals in utilizing all 6 cookie sheets for one meal and the extra large crock pot for another enjoying local fresh seafood for three of the meals (po-boys, grouper with basil mint tomato topper, and homemade pasta and sauce with fresh seafood) and a down-home beef and Amish noodles with "smashed" potatoes to commemorate our Midwest upbringing. Not to mention Pops Raw Bar in Buxton was a short 10-minute drive (some ate there 3 times!) making our eat out nights a no-brainer! Only complaints were the tiny soap provided (bring your own) and ONE DISH TOWEL (really? for a week's stay with a kitchen like that?--but we knew that so we brought more), and one tiny bottle of dish soap. The commercial ice machine was wonderful, supplying the coolers to the beach, and the proximity to the drive-on beach access made our rental of the Expedition worth every penny as we set up our day camp on the beach every day. The walk to the beach was also a short trip for those not doing set-up/break-down. Caught a few tiny fish, enjoyed the breakers and the short trip to the sound one day, and played games at night. As Good As It Gets is properly named!

House needs some updating

House was very accommodating for our large family and is located in a great location with beach access across the street from the road the house is on. The commercial ice maker was a big hit by not having to buy ice all week long. We were able to freeze our fish and transport them home with the ice from that machine. We did have issues with appliances and hardware all week long.The A/C unit for the upper floor could not keep up with cooling the house and on Monday it stopped working. After 5 phone calls to the realtor someone finally showed up. He replace the capacitor and got the unit to turn on but it never cooled the house. It stayed over 80 degrees on the upper floor all day. Not good when trying to get ready for a weeding. The A/C guys showed up at 5:00 and said they told them that this unit needed to be replaced back in the spring. The next day the washer stopped working. They said they fixed it but when we tried to wash clothes that night after we returned it stopped working again. The came back and said they fixed it again. It worked but not like it was suppose to do. Back to the a/c, during the day it would get up to 76-77 degrees inside the house on the upper level. Unit definitely does not work properly. They have programmable thermostats in the house which would set the temperature to different degrees all day long. We would lower it and come back and it would be back to 74, very aggravating. I made many phone calls to the reality office asking what can be done about this issues and was told we will get back with you. Here I am back at home and I still have not received a phone call from them. We had issues with being able to unlock the doors. We had to go and get some other keys that seem to work better.
