  This was our first time staying in your wonderful house on Ocracoke. We were so excited when we got to the island, and even more excited when we arrived at your beautiful home. Despite all of the great restaurants on the island, we stayed in and cooked most nights. Your home was extremely clean, the appliances were all new, and the beds were so comfortable! Our favorite things were your crows nest (beautiful sunsets), and the bikes. It saved us a lot of money not having to rent. We certainly hated to leave at the end of the week. Thank you for letting us use your home. We will be back next year!!! For other renters: The owner was as nice as she could be and very easy to work with. Wonderful communication and the home was even better than pictures on the VRBO site show. I would recommend this house to anyone!

  My husband and I recently at Seaside in Ocracoke and had a fantastic time! The house had enormous porches on every floor and even a rooftop deck with a view of the ocean and sound! Open floor plan with lots of space and nice size bedrooms as well. House was spotless and had a great home feel. We'll absolutely go back and highly recommend Seaside!

  We were very disappointed with the condition of Seaside. The carpet was dirty. The walls and curtains wery dingy. The ceiling fan was loose from the ceiling and seemed like it would fly off of the ceiling if left on. The shower in the master bathroom was broken and unusable. The internet access was advertised as wireless, but a computer had to be hard wired to the modem. The bikes that were advertised as included with the house were locked in a closet and the key was bent and rusted, so we were unable to get them out. There was wet and mildewy laundry in both the washer and dryer. This created a musty smell. When we contacted the owner, she said she would give us 100% of our money back. She ended up keeping $200 and will no longer return phone calls or emails. Do not stay at this house. There are plenty of other wonderful properties on the island.

  Owner response: This review is so upsetting because it is simply not true. Our home is not only bright , sunny, and ALWAYS clean, but our guests always compliment how clean and happy our home is. The only part of this review that is true is that the shower knob was off, and it was fixed within 2 hours of being reported to us. There were no dirty clothes in the laundry, the walls and curtains are not dingy, and there is certainly not a musty smell. Most of our renters come back year after year, and our guest books reflects how much they enjoy our great house. The three women that stayed that weekend called me and I told me that they were unhappy and had found another place they wanted to stay. I told them I would refund their money if they were unhappy. What they neglected to tell me was that they had already spent a night in our home, had used 2 of the bedrooms, the baths, and the kitchen. This meant that the house had to be completely cleaned, and I charged them for one night. The reason that I would not return their calls was that they began to threaten me that if I did not give them a refund of the night they stayed, they would begin writing bad reviews of my home. I chose not to engage in this. Again, I have never had unhappy guests in our home.
