Fall Special*$1495/Week*Heated Pool*CloseTo Beach*Amusement Park*Zoo*Pet Welcome

Loved it!

In an effort to save our family vacation due to Hurricane Florence at the OBX, I quickly had to find an alternative. All I can say is that I could not be happier with how things worked out. The owner, Debbie, was so professional and efficient, providing timely responses to any questions I had as well as sending the documentation necessary to secure my booking.

This property was perfect for our entire family; 4 generations and 2 dogs. Large enough for everyone to have more than enough space, it also was private, secure, and felt like our very own home for the week. Below are some things that stood out to me and that I really felt should be showcased about this property:

- The front door of the home is weighted, which was perfect for the two youngest members in our family (ages 1 and 2). They were able to explore on their own without us having to worry that they would sneak out the front and/or into the road.

- The pool cannot be accessed from inside the house. You must go outside and then back in the screened in lanai; again, perfect for little ones to stay safe. I'd like to add that the door handle to access the pool is located higher on the door so little ones cannot get into the pool without an adult.

- The entire backyard is fenced in so the dogs could roam. There's sand for the kids but also a good sized grassy area for pets to do their business.

- The property was secure with cameras. We felt so safe and never once had a concern regarding that.

Aside from those highlights (which were most important to our family), the kitchen was great, laundry was great...I just cannot say enough wonderful things about the property and the owner.

In an effort to also be as objective as possible to provide the most helpful review, it is a stretch for me to think of anything that would be considered "negative". However, if I had to think of anything:

- The fridge in the kitchen is not very big, which made it difficult to store groceries for meals we wanted to cook for everyone.

That's really the only thing I can think of, which was not a big deal in the least. Again, I cannot thank Debbie enough for helping me save our family vacation. We WILL be back, and cannot wait to visit again!

I urge any family looking for a wonderful vacation property to stay here. You won't be disappointed!

Family vacation was perfect. House was plenty big enough for all kids and grandkids. Kitchen had all things needed for cooking in and pool was a big hit with all. Debbie was great to work with. Will certainly return.

The positive: The house is big with plenty of seating inside. Bathrooms are big enough as well. Dining room is large.Plenty of dishes, pots and electric items. The negative: The air conditioner is very poor on a hot day in the house. Seems to be cycled and your not able to turn it down lower to get it cooled. Back bedrooms roasted. Sofa beds springs poke your back need new mattresses no one could sleep on them. Only 2 quilts no extra blankets or pillows. The kitchen needs new knives won't cut butter, and you have to look multiple times for things so unorganized things put everywhere. Outside are old wood tables not fit to eat at and yard was a mess with beers bottles in a cooler from last guest and BBQ hadn't been cleaned in sometime. Broken chairs just left out as well as broken toys in sandbox and around pool. Very Messy! Pool closes at 9pm(REALLY WE ARE ON VACATION WITH CHILDREN 10PM AT LEAST)all lights turn off at 9 as well.This is our 8th time to rent through Home Away or VRBO and all have had nice outdoor areas which were clean. No cleaning supplies and 1 roll of toilet paper and paper towels, no garbage bags this was a first all homes had more to start and cleaning supplies to clean up with garbage bags. I personally wouldn't stay again there are nicer homes for the same rates.

Great rooms, pool was fun
