Quick beach stay

Nice property with good amenities. Very clean and laid back. Appeared recently updated, 1 min walk to beach. Note, this portion of outer banks has experienced severe beach erosion. Hopefully dune restoration is planned.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Cleanliness was a major issue

We ended up booking this house Thursday-Sunday. That really only gives you Friday and Saturday because of check in/out. If I was staying any longer than that, I would have complained on the spot about the cleanliness of the house. Every surface is covered in dust, grime, or hair. You're probably thinking that it's because this is a dog friendly house, but I'm not talking about dog hair. In the age of COVID, and being that I'm pregnant, this really bothered me. Not only that, but there was still some urine on the toilet seat from the last guest. I would maybe expect this from using VRBO to rent from an owner, but through a real estate agency I'm pretty shocked. Especially for the money paid for the house. I had to go in and clean up for the first hour or so that we arrived and then resist cleaning the whole house. It just made it very hard to relax. Other than that, the sliding glass door to master bedroom 1 doesn't latch, so sleeping at night with no sense of security was a bit of a bummer too. I've been going to OBX since I was five years old and this was my first experience like this. Love OBX, but won't be returning back to this house.
