Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pool was wonderful! Just the right size and with a few shade trees to sit under. The biggest drawback was the sofa in the main room. So uncomfortable. Other than that, the house worked well for us, was clean and adequate. The hot tub was really nice and clean.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I could not expect more from renting Bananna Republic. The house felt like "HOME". The pool was heated and enjoyed after long days spent on the beach, refreshing. The Hot tub was an additional night cap. The views were spectacular. My only draw back was the distance to the beach however the exercise was a plus. Many thanks to the owners for the delicious Peach Cheesecake!!! We hope to be back next year.

Great place.. it has everything !!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is amazing, we really enjoyed our stay, very well located, the pool, the hot tub, the views, are amazing, the house is very well equipped (kitchen, towels and linens). Unfortunately, we did have an issue with the garbage, the prior tenants/cleaning crew left a huge overloaded smelly trash can at the entrance of the house, even though we spoke several times, the office did not send anybody to take care of this and we ended up picking up garbage that had spread all over the floor overnight :( The person in the office was very apologetic but they should have taken action. Probably this was a one time thing... we still liked it very much and would go back....

Our priority at Kitty Hawk Rentals is to provide top-level customer service, and we strive to ensure a positive guest experience. I do believe that the mix up with the trash was a one-time ordeal and we will be sure to discuss the matter to avoid any trouble in the future. I am happy to see that other than this mishap you were able to enjoy the beautiful home and that it was full of essentials. We would love to have you stay with us again!

Great vacation/beautiful home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First I would highly recommend Beach Realty and Construction, very nice and accomdating staff upon check in. I found the home to be nicely maintained and clean! I also found the layout of the home to be highly desirable, with beautiful views of the Currituck Sound. The walk to the beach is very accurate-200 yards. The pool for this home is a huge plus, larger than homes that I've rented from in the past. Banna Republic is conveniently located between Duck and Corolla which means you can visit the Mustangs/shop/eat or do activities on the Sound/Ocean side. The way that this home was built, you can see both the Ocean and Sound. The home also has very comfortable beds, which most rentals do not have. I would definitely recommend this home.

4/10 Poor

Left us wanting.....

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House looks good in the pics but whenyou get there you notice how badly it needs an update. The outdoor games and area were not useable (broken, and too brushy) We picked up trash from the yard before the rest of our party arrived so as not to be embarrassed. The house sleeps 13 yet has a VERY small refrigerator. Our party of 9 found it totally inadequate. 3 of our 5 bedrooms were not made up and worse yet ; the sheets were not present so that WE could do it ! I don’t think the owners know the quality of the bath linens that their laundry service provides. I can’t imagine another reason my paper towels are thicker than the washcloths. Bath towels were small and thin. On the positive: The house was clean overall. And except for nails sticking up in many places on the deck....the pool area was lovely and exceeded our expectations.

Thank you Paul for your review and for letting us know about the issues with the refrigerator, yard area, and linens and we wholeheartedly apologize for the inconveniences they caused. We will pass this information along to the owner so they can take action. Thank you again!

At the beach house banana republic

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were happy linens were supplied and the house was very well stocked with things we needed. However, the cleaning had a lot to be desired. The carpets were not swept well and not under any furniture. The middle floor bathroom had so much dirt around the baseboards and tub area. Vents were terrible, ceiling fans terrible, the bedroom doors were filthy. Lamps and mini blinds very dusty. We didn’t notice right away, cause due to the terrible weather we ran around shopping on Monday and Tuesday. We would not stay here again. We did contact housekeeping at the end of the week, hoping they will do a much better job for the next people coming in. Living room couch and chair are very much in need of replacement.

Dated but friendly...like a kindly old aunt one visits often...

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was bright and friendly in atmosphere...some what dated kitchen but well equipped with all the dishes, pots and pans one would ever need...pool was nice but wasn't heated as we thought it would be...the hot tub was nice to soak in. The house was in a great location not far from the ocean and the crow's nest platform gives one a nearly 310 degree view of Sound and sea with great sunrises and sunsets. I would rent the house again. The internet service is fast and reliable and supported 4k streaming thru the devices we brought and plugged thru the TV as well as wifi signals were strong via our phones no matter where we were in the house...WIFI 4 protocols and link speeds to the router at about 300mbs. Internet connections varied between 10 to 80 mbs down and 4 to 20 upload with good latencies. 4k streaming capable with no lags.

Great Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our trip staying at the Banana Republic. The homeowners were very gracious. The house was very clean. We had only two issues (wasps near the hot tub and a tv not connecting) and the realty company, Kitty Hawk, was VERY prompt both times. They came out the same day and fixed both issues quickly. I was impressed. The house has great views from the decks, a wonderful pool (nicely warmed by roof solar heat) and great hot tub. All around few complains. It'd be great to have a second fridge for cool beverages, but its otherwise rather well equipped. We had plenty of room for us all, and loved the stay. Decent distance to the beach (only half a block) and the provided cart made it easier. It was also a decent close proximity to fun attractions in Duck (loved the Sugar Shack and Duck Donuts and of course Sunset Grille).

Great vacation house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 2nd year staying at the Banana Republic. We enjoyed it last year and enjoyed it again this year! The house is large, roomy, plenty of rooms, and the kitchen/dining/living areas are all laid out in a very functional and attractive way. The pool and hot tub are terrific and the walk to the beach is short. We would stay again. My only complaint this year is that I think the decks need to be refinished or sealed... the kids got several (7) splinters this year when in bare feet the first few days...after that shoes from pool to house/hot tub became mandatory. There was also quite a few spiders...inside and out. Other then that - a beautiful and well kept vacation home.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 May 2022
We are very pleased that overall "Banana Republic" has been a great fit for your family and we appreciate your family coming back again this year. We will bring your comment about the decks to the owner for review and future maintenance. See your family again in 2018.

We appreciate your time to review our property "Banana Republic", I would say you have stayed in Duck before since you know all the fun spots :) the coffee house is amazing, and it looks so much fun to do some water-sports in the sound when the ocean is a bit rough. This homeowner provides cheesecakes for all their guests and everyone has said how delicious they were, honestly we couldn't be happier that you had a wonderful vacation. We would love for you to stay with us again the next trip you take to the Outer Banks, "Banana Republic" will be right here waiting for you!

The beds were comfy & the kitchen well stocked with dishes, utensils, etc. One of my sons watched the sunset every night from the rooftop deck & the view of the sound & ocean from there was beautiful. Beach Realty is the best with a friendly and accommodating staff. Definitely will return to Duck in the future.

Thank you for letting Kitty Hawk Rentals know that our staff made your family feel welcome and taken care of during your stay at "Banana Republic".
