Management company absolutely terrible

Issue with a foul smell and black debris coming out of water faucets. Called management immediately. I was promised a call back, which i never received. Had to call several times next morning to finally get a response. Finally resolved at end of 2nd day. House had zero tiolet paper and the cheapest towels. I will never again rent for this management company

Perfect for relaxing off the beaten path

We loved the quiet and more isolated feel of this property. It was very comfortable and well appointed (only thing we found missing was a can opener). The views were incredible and the space fit our three families and children very well with enough spaces to feel like we could retreat and have privacy when we wanted it. Overall an amazing stay if you aren’t looking for busy nights on the town and tons of crowds.

Off the grid

First time for us to stay in 4x4 area (been there on day trips) and it did not disappoint. Wild Horses daily, fishing twice daily with high tides. Quiet, family-oriented. Only advise you do your best to pack all provisions. Despite our best efforts to pack for the week, still required a couple of trips to Corolla. The effort to go to the store to “pick up a few things” is :30 each way of beach driving plus the time driving on roads and in the store. That’s when being that far off the grid does not work in your favor.

Family Vacation

On-site description was not clear that there was no road access to the home. We had to drive through 15 miles of sand dunes and was stuck and had to be towed. Arrive to house to find it wide open and dirty. Attempted numerous times since being home to speak with management via email no response. House is pretty don’t get me wrong but more suitable for locals who are familiar with area. Left next day due to damage to our vehicle. Vacation was ruined in our eyes. Expensive lesson don’t want anyone else making same mistake.

Wonderful home with great decor. Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to prepare/cook for the group. Lots of inside activities as well as outdoor (besides the beach). Quick access to the beach via walking or vehicle. Pass for parking on the beach provided at property which was a big plus. Great stay!

The 4x4 area of OBX is the place to relax.

The house was in immaculate shape when we arrived. Spotless with fresh linens and ready to go. The beach was just a short walk across the street. Our entire family loves nature and wildlife so we enjoyed seeing wild horses, mocking birds, rabbits, right near the house. The beach didn't disappoint either. We saw bald eagles, ospreys, great black-backed gulls, a northern gannet, sanderlings. An immature harbor seal stopped by to rest on the beach for a couple of days. A local non-profit group set up a perimeter to keep it safe. There were plenty of great restaurants and shops open to check out when we made a trip into town. Will definitely visit again. The only MINOR issue we had was internet wasn't working and the paperwork hadn't been updated with passwords for the backup connection. Again..minor. You'll love the views and relaxation at this beautiful home.

I would never use this rental company again

There are several reasons I wouldn’t book here again. Communication with the rental company is the biggest reason. Before I sent a deposit I called to make sure the house has wifi internet bc I have to work from home daily. When we arrived no wifi on Saturday and we did not have wifi until Thursday of that week. We informed the rental company of no wifi when we arrived. I was told it would be working on Monday. The internet company had to send a crew out to run a line from the pole to the house across the street. The front stairs were missing a tread to step on and the pool had trash in it. When I say trash I don’t mean leaves or outdoor debris, I mean garbage actually in the pool. I feel the rental company was to blame for our issues imagine going on vacation and the kids not having any television to watch the until the 5th day you’ve been there! Not so much a great vacation.

Highly recommend!

Beautiful home in a great location. Spacious and new. Would stay again. Only minor concerns were that they don't tell you that the previous house guests are responsible for leaving paper items for the next guest, i.e. TP, paper towels. So they were limited to start off. Also, there is only a Keurig coffee system, so we had to drive back into town to get those, too. We also could not find the recycling center as depicted on the map provided in the house information. Other than those minor issues, the place is amazing and our stay was excellent! Highly recommend!
