Hi Rosa, thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that you guys enjoyed your stay with us. We are glad to see that the property was in a great location. We hope to host you again in the future!
The house is in a lovely little community with a short walk to the beach! Beach spot was nice not overly crowded! The house was clean and everything worked properly! We liked how every bedroom had its own bathroom! We also liked how close we were to the grocery store and other shops! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Hi Casey, thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that you guys enjoyed your stay with us. We are glad to see that the home was big enough for you and that everyone had a private bathroom. We hope to host you again in the future!
I loved it. A conveniently located and quiet cul-de-sac. It was very clean and the AC worked great on all levels! My daughter loved the pool. I didn't use the hot tub this trip, but it looked excellent as well. The living room is large and a good spot for everyone to relax. Two levels have balcony access with multiple bedrooms having their own access. I can't remember the street, but there is a "Turtle Beach" nearby! A must for everyone, especially kids--roughly 50 turtles just hanging out waiting for food

Could have been a little cleaner . I’d suggest bringing your own cook ware , the ones supplied were pretty beat up and gross

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry the cleanliness and cookware didn’t meet your expectations. I’ve shared your comments with our housekeeping and property teams as well as the owner of this home, so that we can address cleaning standards and replace worn items. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope you’ll consider staying with us again so we can provide a better experience.
A perfect property for a new family tradition. Located in a quiet, private neighborhood yet in close proximity to shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, entertainment, and beach access. A well supplied kitchen, ample space to hang both inside and out. The sound of the ocean from the upper deck was very relaxing. The pool and spa were clean and well maintained as were the decks and interior spaces. The adjacent pond has a walking path that was fun to explore and the resident neighbors were kind and helpful! We will certainly be back!

House was great but could have been a bit cleaner. Would have been easier if the management company used VRBO instead of their own app/website.

Thank you for your feedback and we're glad you enjoyed the house overall. We appreciate your comments about cleanliness and the booking experience, and we'll use them to improve our services moving forward.
Our family really enjoyed the house. The house is set up perfectly for a family to enjoy time together but also to enjoy outdoor spaces together. The beds were comfortable and kitchen is well stocked. The house is also very close to grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. When staying at this house you must go to the turtle pond and feed the turtles just right by the house.

Hi Jennifer! Thank you for the recommendations on where to go and we are glad you enjoyed your stay.
Loved the location and house. My son really enjoyed feeding the turtles! The only thing I would recommend is additional pest control. The flies, ants, and spiders made it difficult to enjoy the pool area at times.

Great house, excellent amenities, overall awesome experience. Only downside is the misleading picture of how close, or should I say far, the beach is away. Picture has it close, in actuality, it’s a hearty ten minute walk away.

This is the best location I have stayed in in OBX, wonderful neighborhood and a few blocks from the beach, such a great vibe! The beds were super comfortable, each room had its own bathroom, the kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of room for everyone. Pool and hot tub were amazing. We had a problem with one of the AC units, we called and they had someone there within an hour. Definitely one of the perks of going through a place that has a management company. I don't think we will look any further for our next trip, this is the winner!

We only had the long weekend, but wanted to get to the beach. It is nice that this was available for less than a week. Nice that you can bring dogs.
About 10 minute walk to the beach. Nice little lake with a path around it that is nice for walking dogs. Close to Timbuck II with restaurants and shops.
Pool small but functional. Covered hot tub area is nice. Bathroom and shower near hot tub is a plus.
All living space is on third level. Dogs got their exercise following us up and down. 😀

Great location!
We enjoyed the location of this property! It was a short walk to the beach, close to shops, restaurants & grocery stores. The house was perfect for our family of 4, the pool & hot tub were a huge plus for us! The only issue we had was the trash from prior renters was left behind so my husband ended up taking it out. There were no trash bags & hand soap on the top level & when we called/emailed/messaged about it, we were told someone would drop it by the same day and after numerous follow ups, that finally happened 3 days into our stay. By that time, we had already gone out and bought trash bags and hand soap from the grocery store.
Aside from that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We would definitely stay there again but we likely would make sure we brought back up trash bags and soap so we didn’t have to play the back and forth game with the property management group.

Thank you for your review Flora, we are happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay minus some issues you did experience, we do apologize for about this and the soap should of been brought out to you before the 3rd day of your stay, as far as the trash bags per your what to pack letter it states to bring trash bags as well as other items, as we only provide one trash bag per can and then after that the guest is responsible for the rest of their stay.
We do hope to host you again in the future.
We received all information well ahead of time to check in. The check in process was super easy and non invasive. All we did was use the access code. No meet ups or exchange of keys. This was great with a large group going back and forth from the beach to the house. No need to keep up with or pass around keys. Simple access code is genius. The property was exactly as recommended and spotless. The pool hot tub and grill were all ready to go upon arrival. The house was clean and appointed completely. we brought nothing but towels and toilet paper. Everything else was there, plates, cups, cooking utensils, pots, pans etc. there were even k cups for the coffee maker!!! The house is a short walk to the beach and we just loved the pool and hot tub area. Grill also worked great. We used it two nights in a row!! This was literally a turn key vacation rental. Absolutely loved it.

Check-in was very easy. House was dirty, you could tell it was quickly cleaned but really needed a deep clean. The interior had dust and cobwebs only primary surfaces were cleaned. The carpet had a lot of dog hair on it from past guests and left your feet black. The vacuum there barely worked and there was no cleaning spray to touch up. The kitchen did have everything you needed however it was a unorganized hodgepodge of old leftover stuff. The kitchen cabinets were dripping with grease and grime. The exterior was hard to use with the amount of giant cobwebs all around including the exterior bathroom. I really wish there was a broom I would have cleaned up all the cobwebs and swept all of the pine needles around the pool. With all this being said we would rent this property again the location was awesome a dead end street within walking distance of the beach entrance. The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for our group. Now I know though to bring my own cleaning supplies and what I'm getting into, I would need to spend an afternoon cleaning it so that we could have really enjoyed it.

If you’d like, please reach out to us directly—we’d be happy to discuss your concerns further and work with you on a solution.
Great trip, Kees property management was a bit frustrating to work with communication wise.
The house was amazing, very clean on the inside. The pool and hot tub had not been cleaned in a while and the pool guy did not come out on the first day as promised. Then once he did there was an electrical issue that had affected the pool and hot tub. It all took the first 3 days of our trip to be repaired. Things were only done with me calling and reporting what had not been fixed or that the pool guy had not come, then showed up stayed 40 mins and left for 3 hours until I called Kees to tell them that. Only when he returned did he realize the electrical problem and that took a whole other day to get fixed. The house is beautiful, very clean, easy access to all the restaurants and shops and two grocery stores. I felt bad for the owners I feel like Kees could be better at checking the properties before check in , that would have allowed for all the repairs and replacement tv to be identified prior to our stay. Only on day 3 of not getting follow up information unless I text or called, I became very frustrated. The owners were amazing and promptly authorized the repairs of everything we were having issues with. So, I recommend the house and the owners. Was not impressed with the pool guy or the communication. The absolute best communicator was the actual Kees Maintenace man, he was very prompt, communicated and did what he said he would do. The girls answering the were polite but not unless I asked to get an update was, I updated. I had to inform them of progress.
