The property has a wonderful location with beautiful views, and features such as the elevator and hot tub added convenience to our stay. That said, we were disappointed with certain aspects of the experience. The customer service did not meet expectations, and the cleanliness and upkeep of the home fell short of the standard reflected in previous reviews. While the setting was lovely, these issues did impact our overall stay. Unfortunately, we would not feel comfortable recommending this rental or booking with this host again.

The house wasn’t in great condition upon arrival. It was dirty and needed noticeable repairs. Parts of the floor were coming up and there was a large stain on the living room ceiling that seemed to be from a previous leak. The kitchen cabinets and outdoor beach storage closet were a wreck. Very disorganized and frankly, disgusting. It was discouraging to cook in the kitchen. The grill is NOT useable- it’s entirely covered in rust.The “games” in the tv cabinet were all missing parts. There were visible roaches half way through the stay. We notified our “concierge” and they did nothing. The accommodation to stay in a house on the beach was nice, but it is very outdated and dirty. It’s disappointing that we felt very uncared for.

we really enjoyed our stay at inntuition.. The elevator was.such a blessing for our aging bodies!We booked for next year already.we had some minor problems with the refrigerator and one of the sliding doors . Next year we will bring our beach towels (not included )and extra towels as there is only 1 per person..Just a heads up to future renters.The view is beautiful and its right on the beach,which is not crowed at all ! Dont miss the Top Sail historical museum, its sooo interesting. We look forward to next year!!

Wish you booked longer!
We had a great time. The views, the ocean are perfect. Im a foodie and the kitchen had everything I needed to cook and make food from breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also located down the road from restaurants, sea food, bar food and grocery stores. I loved our stay and you will too! I promise, you will want to book longer so please do it!. If you enjoy laying on the beach its right there. It may take longer to get from the top floor than to the ocean. If you prefer to get sun and get away from sun its there too. So many options from a balcony witha swing to a balcony with chairs and a hot tub. If you need to get away from the beautiful sights of dolphins and sun and sand , close the blinds and make a nap or movie night. The hosts are great and went out of their way to insure we had a perfect and unforgettable time! I dont like to repeat experiences but I might break my rules with this one. 5 stars and a life time of inside jokes and unforgettable memories! Thank you
