OBX Vacation 2024

The Life of Riley was a beautiful home! Yes it felt like we were home. The amenities were awesome. Our hosts thought of all the little things we may have needed and provided them. Including pool toys and rafts, yard games and quality kitchen pots and pans (not cheap scratched Teflon stuff). Lol... This home is perfectly located to shops in walking distance and the beach. This home was so clean and spacious and provided our large group with plenty of room. We would ABSOLUTELY stay here again!

Wonderful beach house

This house was excellent for us. Very clean, had everything we needed and more. Plenty of room as well for a large group- with extra room even. Short walk to public accesses for the beach. It was so nice having extra beach chairs and pool accessories to use too! No complaints at all about this house and I highly recommend and would love to stay again in the future!

Nice Property would stay again!

My Family and Friends and I really enjoyed this property overall. It was a little rocky in the beginning as I asked to get early check in and they said you had to do it over a week in advance and I feel like I am normally used it to being the opposite way. Nonetheless they got us in well before the check in time which was great. The property mgmt company could have given better information in my opinion. I asked about a grill since I only saw one of those park looking charcoal grills and they told me that is all the property had. That was incorrect as they had a very large gas grill on premise as well. Would have been super helpful to have the right information as we lugged a large grill with us as we had 10 people in the house. The property mgmt company also said the baby gear listed in the listing was not there but it was infact there. So I am not sure why they don't have the proper list of items as this is really needed for families travelling with little space. Other then that everything was great. The house had more then enough space and a great layout. Pool was fantastic the kids never left! One last thing i would reccommend is having a vaccuum for guests to use to help clean up. There were times I would have loved to just vaccuum but had nothing to use and a dust pan and broom doesn't work on carpet! Definitely keep this property in mind for large families or groups!

Great stay for a large family

The house was beautiful, nicely decorated, well-appointed and maintained, in a great location and had plenty of room for our group. We liked the outdoor spaces and the lower level pool table! The only issues were that the house could use more forks, the stove vent was not working, and it would have been nice to have some kind of shade around the pool. Also, I did text management using the number provided about a grill brush-we never did hear back, but ended up finding a well-worn brush that needs replacing. Other than those minor issues, great trip!

Family vacation

We enjoyed our stay. The size of the house was great for four families (some with kids). It was a short walk to the beach, and we also enjoyed the little shops within walking distance. It was a convenient distance to grocery stores and restaurants as well. We enjoyed the many balconies and the pool and hot tub. Even though VRBO says check-in is at 4:00, the rental company has a window of time from 4:00-6:00, so the property may not be ready until 6:00. Also, we discovered the dryer was broken on the second day and although a repairman came twice to look at it, it was never repaired, which was inconvenient. The house could use some updating but overall it was comfortable.

A great place for a family vacation

The house was perfect for our young families. It had plenty of rooms for everyone to have their own space and no one ever felt in each other’s way. The location is perfect for a short walk to the beach and centrally located to everything you could possibly need. It had everything you could need for young kids already at the house. We played lots of pool and enjoyed our time out by the pool at night. I’d highly recommend this house and would certainly return again.

What a beautiful property. Everything was as advertised. We had a wonderful time and would rent it again in a heartbeat. Great location only a block or two away from public access to the beach.

The house with a pool and hot tub

Our family greatly enjoyed this house. The pool and hot tub were a huge hit with everyone. The beds were comfortable. There are a lot of steps which could be a problem for an older person. The ocean could be seen if you looked between 2 other houses. I wouldn't exactly call that an ocean view. To me that means an unobstructed view. Other than that it was a great house for a large number of people. We would book it again.

2019 family vacation

The bathrooms were very dirty when we arrived, we had to clean the bathtubs and sweep the floors when we arrived. I emailed the cleaning people about the problem but they did not get back to me until Wednesday and we had arrived Saturday. So our vacation was not off to a very good start. The house was decorated rather pretty and we enjoyed the pool though. There is a lot of things to do close by.

We had a great week at “Life of Reilly.” Everyone has a great time-enjoyed the pool, hot tub, hammock and pool table and beach close by. The house is plenty spacious for a large group. We would definitely rent again!
