Our stay was very pleasant. The swimming pool turned green on the day before we were to leave so we weren’t able to swim in it. The skillets weren’t very good, so food we cooked stuck and burnt. The house was clean and accommodated our group of ten. Overall, a very good experience.

Thank you for your review William. I don't see where you reported these issues during your stay, but we are addressing them now. We will have the housekeepers take a look at the skillets for replacement. We hope that you will come back to stay with us on the OBX!
This house was absolutely perfect for my husband and our two kids. There was enough space for everyone to have their own room but also hang out together on the main floor to watch movies and cuddle on the couch.
The beach was a quick and easy walk down the road and came with lots of beach toys and even a cart that glided through the sand! It really made the trip easy with a 2 year old and a baby who can’t walk himself yet.
The pool was perfect size and has a little ledge for the kids to stand on and the hot tub was pure heavy after a long day entertaining our boys.
There was also a sand pit by the hot tub that provided hours of entertainment, it was my toddler favorite part of the whole trip!
The property manger stopped by in the morning of check in with a problem with the pool but he was incredibly nice and checked up on it a few times during the week to ensure we were ok and we’re still able to use the pool.
We’ve stayed in a lot of houses over the years but this was our first family trip with our boys and it was an amazing time. We will 100% be back! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
Needs some upgrading! Nice place overall but def lacking in some basic items expected when renting
Overall it fit our needs and was cozy. Good location.
We moved the bunk bed upstairs to make it up and obviously the cleaning people have not done that - all kinds of things were under there!
Kitchen was very lacking - their frying pans were old and so scratched up. No cookie sheet except for a rusted pizza pan. They need to toss their plastic dinnerware - gross and who would use that!?
Communication prior & during our stay was very helpful.
The owners need to invest in some type of streaming option on the main TV so guests can rent movies, etc. through their own account. Very frustrating to not be able to do that and the movie channel they had would not allow us to order/pay.
Finally, the American Flag on the front needs to be taken down. It's frayed and that is a disgrace!
