Overall a fine stay

Property managers were easy to communicate with. House itself was very clean and beds were comfy. However, the house could use some care; walls scuffed, decor and furniture broken, dishes (which is on guests to clean at check out) were dirty and the pots and pans need immediate replacement. Location is great.

Even though the weather didn’t cooperate for our stay, we had the best stay. We found so many things to do. Fishing, beach walks when we could, Roanoke Island, lighthouses, and just driving. The house was so nice and clean. Would stay again. Thanks!!!

This house is very comfortable and clean. The location is perfect. The only complaint I have is that they could have added a regular size Keurig instead of the tiny one that was there. Everything else was perfect.

Great cottage

The cottage was just as pictured and the beach was very private. Our only issue with the propertywas that each guest is only given one set of bath towels for an 8 day stay! And with no washer or dryer in the cottage it wasn't sufficient. Other than that, we were very pleased with the experience.

We really loved the house. Would have loved a better beach view, but you can’t control the height of the dune! I felt like people from other houses came used the pool, but again I do t k ow how you would do control that. Overall we had a great stay.

We really loved the location and ease of getting to the beach access and pool. Our teens could easily walk to get ice cream. It was quiet for thr most part and very relaxing. We had several maintenance issues and despite multiple communications starting on the first night the problems were not resolved during our stay. The lights in the kitchen blinkedd incessantly so we had to turn them off

Nice getaway

We enjoyed how close the property was to the ocean! Cottage could have been cleaner when we arrived. Dead flies on windows and blinds, couch was very dirty and the previous renters did not clean the dishes very well. The cookware needs some serious attention. If i would have called the first day, the property managers were will to work with us, but i waited till it was time to leave to send messages and pictures.

Would do again

4pm is too late for check-in. Most people are driving and go directly to the property. I arrived at 3:30 and had to try to contact them so we could get in to use the restrooms. All of the voicemails were full and initially we gave up and left to find restrooms. I guess I could have tried to get an early check-in. Not a deal breaker though. Nice place and great location. Pool was clean.

We encountered several issues during our stay at this large company-managed property. While the text system and portal were excellent, the Wi-Fi password was incorrect. Check-in was scheduled for 4 p.m., but the office closed at 5 p.m. We arrived to find the house dirty and had to clean it ourselves, as the floors, counters, and sinks were not cleaned. The property management group took shortcuts, such as not installing soap in the bathroom dispenser and leaving an unusable bottle on the counter. The master shower dispenser was also empty. Hours later, we discovered the Wi-Fi network name and password were wrong. They offered to send someone to clean the floors, but I had already done it. My daughter noticed water on her head in the kitchen due to a ceiling leak. After another text conversation, someone inspected the leak. The first 24 hours were unpleasant. The property is technically oceanfront, but the ocean isn’t visible from the first floor. It’s visible from the bedrooms on the second floor. The master bedroom on the first floor has an inefficient HVAC system and lacks vents, so bring a fan. It also has a view of the parking lot and septic field. The decor choices are strange, with a large chair in the master bedroom blocking half the dresser drawers and a closet full of vacuums and cleaning supplies. The property lacks a VRBO vibe and resembles a corporate mid-quality Holiday Inn. The beach is inaccessible for those with mobility issues, as navigating several steps
