Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Whalehead Beach
Whahlehead subdivision is a very laid back area with low crowds and no chain stores. The beach is a private beach for Whalehead Subdivision renters. Two grocery stores are within two miles. There are countless specilaty shops within walking distacnce of the house. The Four Wheel Drive area is only 1 mile north of our house. Many amenities are within walking distance. Great Bike riding area. Many nature and protected areas near by.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Here the Northern Outbanks Island is only a 1/4 mile wide from ocean to sound. Here is where the Whalehead subdivision is located in a very laid back location, with low crowds and very low commercial development. Everything one would need is within walking distance of the house. Coffee Shops, wine stores, natural settings and nature preserves are all within walking distace. The historic Curritck Lighthosue is only a 1/4 mile away. Walk to the Whalehead Club and Currituck County Nature Conservatory. See widlife during your early moring walks in the area. No beach fees or beach tags required. The beach is sculptured by nature.
The beachs are wide and flat with no drop offs. Sunrises and sunsets can't be matched and at night the stars jump out as there is very little ambient light to interfere with natures show. Ride bikes on lightly traveled streets or just hng out on the beach or decks and soak in the sun.

We arrived for a five day stay, but left the house within an hour of our arrival. The deal breaker was mouse poop found first in the basement kitchenette and then in the pots & pans cabinet on the top floor kitchen. We have two small kids (under 2) who love getting into things and we were not comfortable with the idea of them munching on mouse droppings. Overall, the house was in fairly shabby condition. The main floor (kitchen and living room space) was tolerable. The bedrooms were fairly shabby and the basement was dank. There were stains in the basement carpet. There was something growing up the wall of the basement refrigerator. There was a half-eaten cookie in the pack n' play. The peeling paint on the kitchen cabinets and bathrooms in need of maintenence showed signs of neglect. We couldn't connect to the wireless internet. After reading the previous review, we were wary, but after reassurance from the realty company, we decided to try it. That was a mistake. Upon our first complaint, they sent a staff member to clean the mouse poop. She brought supplies from her office, which wouldn't have been sufficient to sanitize the pots and pans. We pressed the company and after much arguing, thet did provide us with a refund for the stay and we were able to secure alternate accommodations for the same price in a clean and lovingly maintained home. Don't feel you need to 'tough it out' in this mediocre house. There are other options that are cleaner and better maintained. And there are realty companies that are pleasant to work with and who work to make sure their customers are satisfied.

This August was the third time in 5 years we have stayed there. We tried other places but for the money you can't beat the value and location so we go back. House has everything we could need as shown in photos and info. The house is well taken care of and sterIts obvious owner up grades as everytime we have been there we see new modifications for the better. Very laid back area and always a non crowded beach. Will stay there again!!

Review Submitted: 09/13/10
We rented this house in late July and unfortunately were very disappointed in the condition and the quality of the house. The conditions of the house were very dirty with many items in disrepair. We made the mistake to overlook the items since everyone wanted to enjoy their vacation and not complain over details like broken vertical blinds, dirty floors and baths. The pictures of this property must have been taken years ago. The list of issues is long and to top it off we are pretty sure that the property has a bed bug issue because the suite cases we used have evidence of bed bugs. Guess what we are now dealing with at home now?
Owner response:Based on this one single unfavorable review we as the owners went to the house as soon as we received this complant. We were unable to find anything to validate any of the complaints except two broken blinds and are still unsure why these comments were made. Despite being unable to find any of the complaints listed we had the entire house cleaned from top to bottom. We did replace the damaged blinds. We take great pride in our house and constantly upgrade many things in the house every year. We also made an unannounced visit to the house on October to see if in fact there were any other issues not being reported to us. We found that none of the issues mentioned above was accurate. The stove is being replaced for 2011 and thats just one upgrade being done for 2011. UPDATE! New furniture was installed in the third level living room in November 2010. We had the house inspected by a certified exterminator. The report which is on file with th rental compnay indicates that there are no pests of any kind present and there is no evidence that there ever was a pest problems of any kind. Please check the listing for the 2011 upgrades being made after the holiday!!

Weather great! You have everything a guest could want. Karichele Staff were nice to deal with. While lying on the deck by the pool a deer came up to the railing. The place is nature at its best! (Comment left in guest book at house July 2004).
