Great time had by all

The house was packed with beach toys, house toys and games for the kids. There were kid and adult snacks ready when we arrived. We’ve rented houses before and this was the best stocked rental we’ve ever had. The property manager was super responsive and friendly. We loved it!

Amazing place to stay

The home is in a great location in Duck, easily accessing the shops and restaurants in one direction and the beach in the other. The home was in great condition, with the exterior freshly updated with a great outdoor shower. There’s also a large selection of bikes, boogie boards, tents and a cart to transport it all to the beach. Inside the home is beautiful, with 4 bedrooms on the second floor and another bedroom and bath on the third. All the furniture is very comfortable and in great shape. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need if you don’t feel like eating out. Communication with the management is great, quick replies and very helpful. We will definitely come back, even in the off season!

Did not stay

Upon arrival we noticed that the house was not very clean. Hairs in the bathroom, dirt on the floors, spiderwebs all over the porches. The house had a strange smell that was being covered up by air fresheners that were overwhelming. We decided to leave when we saw several cockroaches. We reached out to the owner and she said she just had the house sprayed for bugs the week before and she was actually there herself and inspected the house and it was clean. I guess our standards are just different. She refunded half of the money that we had paid which was extremely disappointing. We have stayed in several VRBO‘s and have never left one before.

About the host

Hosted by JULIE CRIST

Host profile image
Having been raised by the beach my entire life, I've always dreamed of owning my own beach house and my sweet husband made that dream come true several years ago! This is our family's second beach home and we love it! We have a large multigenerational family (my husband and I, four grown children, 3 married w/5 littles between them). I've tried to put all of the things we loved about staying as a family at the beach over the past 40 years into this one home and added things I would have liked to have had as a convenience while staying such as paper products, linens on the beds, basics in the kitchen and an updated kitchen. It's the little things that make the stay more memorable such as riding beach bikes to the beach, walking to town for ice cream after supper, having new different books to read at the house, rocking chairs on the deck/porch, and not having to either bring or purchase a bunch of items just for the stay such as cleaning supplies, condiments, spices, etc. so I've added those here for our guests. Hopefully, you agree and enjoy staying here at the Gulls Nest. It's so central to everything in Town and oceanside.

Why they chose this property

Ocean Dunes, our neighborhood, is great! Great location to everything and special because at least half of our neighbors live here year-round and we have a community bond to keep the area mutually enjoyable. The Town of Duck is special because it is like staying in a small village town walkable to everything you need and has lots of things you can enjoy such as live music in the evenings at various outdoor bars and eateries and great sunset walks along the boardwalk that expands the entire length of the town.
