Well appointed property, plenty of room, great pool and lots of beach accessories! It is a bit of a trek to get to the beach, especially if you’re taking little ones or much beach paraphernalia!

It is a fairly short walk to the beach and has a nice pool and hot tub. My kids and grandkids had a great time being there.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A great home! Had a great time. The home is clean, comfortable, and close to everything. The pool is great as well. The only thing it needs is a gas grill. The grill there is very rusty and hard to keep your food from tasting like lighter.

Everything was great. We're returning next year. Minor issue with the Wi-Fi. It requires everyone to re-initialize each time it's accessed.

Good Location, Not Clean

The property is in a good location but was not clean. We spent our entire first-day cleaning so we could feel comfortable. Especially during a pandemic, this was not acceptable.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry that the house wasn't cleaned to your expectations upon your arrival. Cleaning has been a huge challenge this year due to COVID...while it is hard to find and keep good crews, we are fortunate that we do have dedicated and professional teams that have stayed with us throughout the season. We do hope that you were able to enjoy your vacation and make happy memories during one of the most beautiful weeks of the season on the amazing Outer Banks! We are all in this together!

Beautiful home!

We had a wonderful week at Expectations Met!! What a beautiful home and perfect location! We especially loved the upper level with the giant open concept room, with its large tv with lots of streaming options, plenty of comfortable seating and attached sunroom. The outdoor area of this home is awesome with a huge pool, newer hot tub, volleyball net and hammock. My only small notes are that the pool could use a light in the pool itself and a safety rail for getting into the shallow end. Other than that this house was perfect and we hope to stay there again another time!!

One of the best

Our family could not have asked for more…house was clean and comfortable. We lacked for nothing. Our only problem was when we arrived on Saturday (traffic was horrible) we planned on cooking on the grill only to find out it was charcoal and we had none and had 5 hungry kids. We did leave a bag of charcoal for the next family 😊

Amazing Location, Great Price, Great Communication!

Communication was consistent and clear. While we didn't need to discuss anything with the property management during our stay, check-in and check-out instructions were clearly communicated in a very timely manner. The check-in and check-out process was a breeze! * The location was amazing! Nestled in to a quiet community, with a straightforward walk to the oceanfront. Can't ask for more. * The property itself was fantastic! Excellent choice of bedrooms, the pool was clean and refreshing, the bottom floor felt like its own apartment, and the top floor was fantastic to hang out in. Nothing else to add - 5/5 stars, and looking forward to booking through them again in the future.

Good stay

The location of the house was good… nice short easy walk to beach. The house was a little dated for me, clean on the surface but could use a little bit of a deeper clean and some basic household items replaced. We did love the layout of the house, and the pool was fantastic. Great having a bedroom on the 1st floor.
