Cabana stay

Everything was just as expected, a nice clean room by the beach. The neighbors there were really friendly, the restaurants nearby were all amazing, and the sunsets were spectacular. The room was quiet, there was beach access steps away and the view from the rooftop chairs was really cool.

We enjoyed our time there. We just didn't realize that most everything was still "closed for the season" in Feb. Still, we had a great experience.

Lower your expectations to Motel 6… then lower them a little more.• No smoke detector. Apparently, safety was left off the amenities list.• Windows were so dirty they doubled as privacy glass.• Air vents were packed with dust.• The vaulted ceiling beams looked like they had been growing lint as a hobby.• The pots and pans appeared to be original to the property—circa 1990—and should have been retired decades ago.• The deck chairs were unusable because several of the seat boards were missing.The highlight of the stay? Spending half a day of my vacation waiting for an exterminator to deal with the cockroaches. And, as an added bonus, once they’re exterminated, you get to spend the rest of your stay discovering dead roaches throughout the the rest of your vacation.

Sorry you did not enjoy your stay. We do not know what happened to the smoke detector. It has been replaced. The pots and pans were replaced 4 years ago. We use an exterminator who periodically treats the cabana. You sent us a photo of a bug you found in the cabana. That bug is a type of roach which is endemic to the OBX and can be found in practically every building on the OBX. When I told you on Monday the exterminator could be there at 1:45 on Tuesday I queried if that time was okay with you. You responded “fine”. Dead roaches unforunately are the result of pest control. We apologize for the lint as a deep clean was done prior to the season which began on May 1st. The next deep clean can not be scheduled until after Oct 1st. The air vents should not have had dust on them. That is being takened care of by maintenance. Please note that the cabana has an overall VRBO rating of 9.2 on a scale of 10.

Perfect Getaway

Not our first time at the Cabanas, but it was our first time at this one specifically. It was great for our needs and we always enjoy the beach access it offers. We collected so many shells! We also loved Happy Belly Ice Cream and Dancing Turtle Coffee Shop. The Buxton Book Store is also a favorite. We appreciate you letting us stay here. It was just what we needed.

Great spot- would book again

Close to everything hattaras/Frisco/Buxton, & beach it’s on is better than Frisco or hattaras. Still great sunrises even though it mostly faces south. Loved the 3 balconies- used each of them daily. It was cool it was a “condo” but freestanding, so you have neighbors but no shared walls. Super hot water, cable tv, kickin ac. Overall wonderful for solo or couple. Would definitely book again

Great location. Updating needed. Bed was very uncomfortable. But love Cape Hatteras.

Based on feedback from guests a new bed is now in the unit. The photos in our listing accurately depict the cabana. The feel is that of a Classic Carolina beach cottage. Personal preferences determine the need of an update.

After hurricane Erin came through, we weren't sure if or when we would be able to get to our place. John, my host, kept me up to date and worked with me through the whole week. We found out Saturday afternoon that we would be able to be in on Sunday and could stay till the next Sunday. I was so happy!

Great location - property needs updating

Having stayed at Hatteras Cabannas in the past I knew the location and size of the unit was not going to be a problem. It was just my wife, I, and are golden retriever staying at night. We had friends just down the road who had rented a big house and so days were spent with them. My problem with the unit and why I give it a 2 overall was that the owners have not done anything to update this unit besides a new bed. The tub diverter valve barely worked, blinds were missing slats, the screen door screen was torn and out of it's frame, the HVAC filter was dirty, the refrigerator door - all the door keepers for bottles were broken, the starter package of detergent was a tiny little pod that had to be broken up to use. And the list could keep going and going. This could be a great little spot to spend the week - and it was....,I just wish that owners would spend a little time and money maintaining places instead of just taking in rent.

The photos of our Cabana are an honest representation of what you will see and experience when you stay there. It is difficult to understand that seeing the photos that you would be surprised that in your opinion the “property needs updating”. The Cabana has the feel similar to a classic coastal Carolina cottage. We apologize for the issues you found which must be very recent as we have not been aware of them until you brought them to our attention. During heavy use in the height of tourist season there can be delays in doing some repairs. Strangely we consistently receive 4 and 5 star reviews from this and other listing services and quickly take care of issues that are brought to our attention. What do you mean at the end of your complaints to say “and on and on”? To insult us with “the owners would spend a little time and money maintaining places (sic) instead of just taking in rent” is completely out of line.

The cabana was an excellent choice for my daughter and my trip to the OBX. The host has recently replaced the decking. It looked beautiful but could use some more securing as it was a bit wobbly but not unsafe. The kitchen had everything you needed for a week getaway. From small appliances to cooking utensils- it is truly a fully equipped kitchen. I would recommend stopping at the ‘Red and White’ for anything you would need extra like kitchen towels and trash bags. The cabana was spacious enough to add a small camping cot. The bathroom was clean and had good ventilation. The toilet was a bit wobbly but would be great with some adjustments. The space was easy to keep tidy as you were provided with a broom and vacuum. We really enjoyed staying and look forward to future visits.

OK

Needs work. Plaster in ceiling do to leaks gone. Bed too small. Needs a queen not a double. How about some black out shades. Two cups and two glasses? Other wise plenty of silver ware. House keeper left an envelope for a tip What is that about. Her job to get it clean.

Quiet Hatteras Getaway

John's cabana was a perfect location for a quiet getaway for me and my daughter. The location right on the beach couldn't be better, and the rooftop deck provides a nice view of the ocean and perfect sunset views in the evening! The cabana is a perfect size for a couple or small family and the kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed. We would definitely book again!
