Nice
Location was good. House nice size. Will probably rent it again, if some things will be fixed. No broom in house to sweep kitchen floor. Brown sewage water left in dishwasher. Did not smell good. Sand left in pool, outside and in basement. Long black all around the floor kitchen n bathroom. Ant problem. I will give house a B and location A

Little house in the woods.
The property was as expected. The carpet in the house might need to be seriously cleaned or replace. Otherwise, it was just right.

Great Stay in OBX
The OBX is a wonderful place! The house was clean and as described. It was a short walk to the beach. The pool was clean and very good. My only two suggestions are the mattress’s need to be replaced and for the cost of the rental there really should be a gas grill. Would definitely stay there again.

Made this a great first stay at OBX
This was our family’s first stay at OBX and this house was perfect to get used to the area and enjoy the beach. House has enough space for 3 families. The kids enjoyed the pool. Could use updating of beds and the walk to beach was 2 blocks. We had 2 safety concerns and the maintenance team came out extremely quick to fix. Overall it was a great stay and location.

Perfect for our Needs
Perfect house for a family get together. My only wishes would have been for a heated pool and a hot tub that heated quicker. Only other recommendation would be to replace the grill top and actual grille on the in ground charcoal grill.

Customer Service excellent, property condition mediocre
First, I want to start by sending a shout out to the customer service contact for this rental: they were great and answered all my questions promptly and cheerfully. They gave us food recommendations that helped us have a fantastic holiday. If they were all that I were reviewing, this would be a five star review.
However, this property shows signs of wear and of maintenance neglect. The heat for the lower floors was not functioning for our November stay, and the lower floors remained at or below 60 degrees the entire time we were there. Routine maintenance checks of the system would have negated this, as there was missing insulation on the pipes that caused them to freeze and trigger the auto shut off.
We were all looking forward to being able to have an evening beverage in the hot tub, and that was one of the reasons we chose this property. Alas, the temperature never rose above 88 degrees (Sat AM) despite our turning it up to get to temp on Weds evening.
These are the two most disappointing aspects of our stay. There were several other small signs of delayed investment in the house (broken coffee pot, etc).
One thing that the kids wanted me to say was that the Fooseball table is top notch. There were many rowdy tournaments enjoyed.
Overall, We had a pleasant stay because of the company we were with, but the house could use a little TLC.

Nice House with short walk to the beach
We enjoyed our trip and the property was very nice. Unfortunately the hot tub didn't work and the heat also didn't work on the lower levels. However, overall we had a great time and look forward to going back next Fall.

Great location and awesome pool!
I stayed here with a big group of family and our dog. The house is in a great location, walking distance from the beach and also has a great pool/hot tub area. The house was clean, and rooms were all a good size with typically OBX decor! We had a very positive experience overall.

Listing is good representation of property
Listing photos represent the property well. Our only issue was the cleanliness of the kitchen upon arrival - there were food crumbs and dead bugs all over the floor and dishes in the dishwasher. We contacted both the Housekeeping and Maintenance crews and didn't receive a response from either. For the very high cleaning fee, the kitchen should've been in much better shape. There were also nail heads sticking up on the decks - beware with bare feet. Other than those issues, we had a great stay. It is walkable to the beach and in a quiet, conveniently located neighborhood.
