Great Location

We loved being down in Avon, away from the hustle and bustle of the more built-up parts of OBX. The house was perfect for our family of seven, with plenty of room for all. The kitchen has lots of pots, pans, and cooking utensils (albeit a bit well-used). The kids loved the hot tub and how close we were to the beach. We will definitely rent this house again.

Beach Keen was a great house! It was very clean when we arrived and had a fresh sent throughout the house. New carpets were very nice throughout the house. All beds and couches were very comfortable! Kitchen was well equipped and lots of counter space! Lots of steps though to get up to the house. Close walk to the beach. We will be back!!

Nice location

The house is in north end of Avon where there is less flooding. We stayed in this house about 10 years ago and really liked the location. The house shows it’s age but it served us well enough.

Will definitely be back in October and I can't say enough about the awesome service we received from Carol and Meredith and the main office.

Basic beach house

Pros: AC worked, water pressure was good, , luggage lift was a plus, outside shower was nice, house was relatively clean, it is a short walk to the beach. Cons: grass/yard hadn’t been touched in months, 1 outside trash can for a 9 guests filled up on day 2, kitchen was old, outdated but adequate, carpet is old and carpet at a beach house in general is never good. (LVP flooring is cheaper now and easy to install) The place smelled weird and old until WE bought Glade plug-ins but we left them for the next guest(s). Inside lighting was poor, bedrooms are tight with antiquated furniture. But this is a basic beach house for the price you pay. We had a nice week overall spending most of our days on the beach or fishing at the pier. This is why we come not necessarily for the beach house.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Chris. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated the working AC, good water pressure, luggage lift, outside shower, cleanliness, and the close proximity to the beach—those are definitely important for a comfortable stay! At the same time, we’re truly sorry for the inconveniences you encountered with the unmaintained yard, limited trash cans, outdated kitchen, old carpet, initial unpleasant smell, poor lighting, and the tight bedrooms with older furniture. Please know that we’ve shared your concerns with our local team so they can address these issues and work toward improvements. We value your feedback and hope you’ll give us another opportunity to host you. We look forward to welcoming you back for an even better stay.

an experience of both good/bad

the home needs updateing with the furniture wich is so worn out and uncomfortable, there was moldy shower curtains and mold in bathrooms and bedrooms. We had no hot water for the first 2 days, half the windows had no screens and ther were no directions for TVs. The set up of the home with thw big kitchen table and bedrooms on second floor was ideal for my family but the home needs alot of TLC.

Eh expected way more.

Lift outside didnt work to get items inside. Mold in first floor bathroom with tub. Warped floor in other first floor bathroom by shower bathroom with tub drain is clogged with hair, HVAC on 2nd floor is locked to 70 and does not go lower. All the dishes in the kitchen were very old and showing signs of wear. Overall the house could use a facelift and some new kitchen tools.

It’s ok

If you’re looking for an inexpensive house for a lot of people it’s fine. It has potential to be a really gray house. The outdoor lighting getting up the stairs is scarce to non existent so be sure to bring a flashlight. Nothing in this house makes sense including the only entrance to the deck containing the hot tub are through two bedrooms. One if you are using it and they’re carpeted. It’s very outdated but sufficient if you plan to be gone most of the time and just sleep there.

Broken hot tub - terrible customer service

This property is managed by Vacassa. Vacassa has terrible customer service. You have to wait up to 30 minutes to talk to a human. There is no way to talk directly to the owner at all. I arrived at the property, and the hot tub was broken. It took days to get an answer as to what was going on. Then Vacassa played hard ball on giving me a small partial refund for the rest of the week. It really ruined my whole vacation. VRBO told me I had to resolve the issue directly with Vacassa, and took no responsibility. Overall, my worst vacation experience ever.

Good Location, but needs Upgrading & Cleaning

This house has potential, but needs upgrading and a good deep cleaning. Furniture is outdated. 2 full cans of trash with more left outside the bins was left by for us to take out. Other issues include broken kitchen faucet, non-draining shower/tub, missing refrigerator drawer and shelf covers, exterior stairs had sticky red liquid, dirty carpets, grease stains on kitchen window & walls, all beds squeak loudly and terribly, couch is so old that the cushions are nearly flat, among others issues. But - Kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans and other necessities. Had a 6pm check-in (which I thought was late anyway) but was told we could not check in until 7:15pm - however, I was monetarily compensated for this. Check out instructions in multiple places were inconsistent. Would not stay here again without a good cleaning first.

Mixed blessings.

We were very happy to find a place so convenient to the beach. We had no problem with the house obviously having been redecorated in the 70s/80s - even books and games found in the house were of that era. The owners have just revamped the living room and the hot tub is a treat for sure. The real problems were that when we arrived at night the light outside was not working and is probably still not working. This is extremely dangerous as you have to climb the three flights of wooden steps in total blackness - read more about this further. We contacted Vacasa by text as calling didn't answer unless calling to their new rentals number. After that the light in our daughters room fell apart after she turned it on. This was followed by the dishwasher leaking. And finally the one wooden step breaking making that step incredibly dangerous. At no point did we hear from Vacasa regarding these matters , or were any repairs done. After texting the first two problems we stopped receiving texts in response to our problems. My call to Vacasa a day after our return was answered and the feedback was that "the dockets" were on record. No apology until I pointed this out. I pointed out that having "dockets" about the problems did not fix the problem. So in the end Vacasa is the one who kept dropping the ball.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 Jun 2023
We apologize we missed repairing your concerns during your stay. The step is now fixed, and the dishwasher and lights are functioning correctly. Thank you, Dimitri!
