Great price and location if you can endure the mold

The pool and hot tub were great. The kids really enjoyed them. The location to the beach was great as well as the neighborhood. The house desperately needs a deep clean and probably mold remediation. There was mold coming from some of the outlets and the top of a shower. We contacted the property management company and they did come to wipe it off. I can do that I was hoping they would look into it more. The carpets felt dirty. The house has so much to offer, please please give it a deep clean and look into the mold problem.

Overall the house was great ! Loved the pool ! The outside furniture was broke except the 2 chairs on the deck looking over the pool and the pool furniture was awesome !! The upper deck was really spongy 😔 The real downfall was how far it was to the ocean !

All the Mold reviews are true

The pool and outdoor showers were great. This house needs serious upgrades and is full of mold. There was mold coming out of the vents and light fixtures. The shower curtains all were moldy. You could even see the mold on the outside of the house. Would think twice before booking this home.

Great location and value

When reading the reviews, we seemed to understand what we were getting into with the cleanliness but accept the risk since it was a great price. We really enjoyed the pool and the hot tub. The location to the beach was great. It was an easy walk. The neighborhood was lovely. We loved the view from the top deck. We continuously battled ants in the kitchen which was fine it happens. The property management came once to spray. There was mold coming from multiple outlets and in one of the showers. We did notify the property management company but they just came over and wiped it off. I can't imagine was is happening in the outlets. The carpet felt dirty to walk on. One of bunk beds wasn't made and there was visible dirt on the mattress cover. The house desperately needs a deep clean.

At the same time, we are very sorry to learn about the cleanliness and maintenance issues you encountered during your stay.

Your safety and comfort are our top priorities, so please know that we take these matters very seriously. The condition of the carpet and the unmade bunk bed with visible dirt are also unacceptable, and we sincerely apologize for the oversight.

Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. Thank you again for your honesty and understanding.

I have been using hatteras realty for our vacation homes for the past 15 years or so and have always had great vacation homes that were clean and well maintained....until now!!

Smelled like dog pee

The place is big and the pool and hot tub is nice but the house was dirty and smelled like dog pee everywhere. The house also needs a lot of maintenance. There is mold growing on the walls and the paint is cracked and peeling. Also the living room chairs are not sturdy and the legs are bent.

Not the best

The house was a very nice home but our check-in was for 6 o’clock the cleaners were still there at almost 7 they never changed our bed clothes so we had dirty bedsheets and blanks the house needs minor work done to it but it needs a very good deep cleaning because the house is dirty but our stay was nice But when you pay that type of money for a house for one week it should be very clean and you should be able to check in on time

Week in obx

We loved the layout, the pool, and the hot tub. The tvs did not work in any bedroom, the carpet and walls needed some TLC, and the kitchen has sparse utensils, dirty silverware. The hot tub seemed to not stay warm. Most sad was the TV situation. Not very relaxing in the evenings. Loved the decks and washer and dryer. The one bedroom has a hole in the corner wall, and looked as if it was black mold, my mother refused to sleep in there. All in all, love obx, will probably not stay in this home again.

The house needs updated. The place was not clean upon our arrival. We had to go in and clean it just to put our stuff in. The counters were sticky and we found black mold in the vents. There was drops of blood on the floor in the bathroom. The hot tub jets did not work and the temp would stay at 104 no matter what you set the temp at.

We endured Enduring Freedom.

Overall we had a good experience at Enduring Freedom. The house is in a great location/neighborhood. The added expense of the pool and hot tub were great to have but not sure they were worth the added expense. Having them on different levels was somewhat of an inconvenience. The condition of the property was okay … it was definitely dated and themed but the kitchen was sufficiently stocked and the furnishings were nice. When we arrived we found the previous renter’s soiled linens in the house. We immediately called the rental company and placed them outside near the front door where they stayed all week. The location is very far south. Traveling with teenagers, we had to drive long distances just to find “fun” things to do with them. We did have easy access to the beach and we loved the beautiful views.

Wonder why there are no new reviews

Upon arrival, there were dead things in the pool just floating there. But to top that off, we smelled something downstairs. So I flushed the toilet, and it was clogged badly. The plunger wasnt cutting it. We put in multiple calls to have someone come fix it. Even weeks later, there isn't any real satisfactory update. We could not even use 1/3 of the house because the smell was putrid. Other than that, nice house. Not nicely stocked for 10 people staying there.
