Overall, we had a fairly good experience here. The house was beautiful with a nice big kitchen and ocean views, and we loved that every room had a private bathroom. We felt comfortable there, but we didn't feel like it was up to other OBX rental standards; the rental is managed through Seaside Vacations. Check-in and check-out was nice and easy.
At first glance, the house was stunning, but when you really looked it at, you could see it was not well-kept. The floors were extremely dirty, as were the walls. The showers did not drain, meaning that every time you bathed, you were stuck standing in your own dirty water. This was the case in at least three of the bathrooms. Plus, you have to make your own beds when you arrive (a requirement that none of us had ever encountered before in an OBX rental), and unfortunately my pile of clean sheets had a hair in them, so I had to re-wash them on day 1.
Check-in is at 5pm and check-out is at 9am, meaning you pretty much lose an entire day that you've paid for because of how early and late they make you get in and out. It seems odd to me that with so many hours in between parties, they wouldn't have time to make the beds for guests?
Perhaps this review is more of a reflection on the cleaning service than the actual rental company. The problem is that when renting a home, cleanliness tends to be the most important factor to a lot of people, and it was this house's biggest demerit. But we managed to still have a nice time.
