privacy due to the surrounding landscape. My grandson grilled steaks, we utilized the pool every day, and my son-in-law swam in the ocean each morning. We will definitely reserve it again!

Great pet friendly home and town!

We chose this home as we were seeking a pet friendly home for a family wedding we were attending nearby. It is in a great neighborhood and our dog loved the private beach (just a short walk from the home). We had teens with us and used the bike rental company recommended- easy bike to town on the path and our kids loved all of the shops and restaurants in Duck. The yard is fenced in for dogs and separate from the pool area which was nice. The rental company was very attentive and helpful to work with and the house is very spacious and has a great layout for large groups (and dogs!)

Great location

The location was perfect, it allowed kids of all ages to tolerate the walk to the beach. The covered hot tub was very helpful when it rained daily during our stay. The outside seating is a little more than what is pictured but is pretty sparse. There is no outdoor dining but the outside shower and bathroom was very nice to have when the kids were coming back from the beach. The mid level den was very nice to have additional rec space. The lowest level does smell strongly of mold which worsens when the air conditioning turns on.

Yearly family vaca

The location was terrific- just a short walk to the beach. The pool was great to have and was used frequently. The house set up was nice with plenty of space for everyone. The linens were provided but why is only one kitchen towel given in a house that can hold 12 people? If I would have known this I would have brought some with us. My biggest issue was ants being in one of the closets and finding a cockroach in the lower bedroom. This house needs a better cleaning job done between stays.

House was spacious and overall a good fit BUT air vents show heavy MOLD infestation!! Lacked outdoor sitting on ground level by pool. No outdoor eating area and lack of adequate upper level outdoor sitting. The mold was of great concern!!!

Property management makes it not worth the effort

When you pay more for a VRBO (twice as much as comparable home stays nearby), you expect listings to be properly cleaned/serviced and well stocked. Unfortunately this listing had not been touched since the last high season -- lots of dust/dirt, cobwebs, clocks set to the fall, hot tub had no smell of cleaning chemicals. Residence lacked basics like kitchen towels, hand soap, trash bags, Tupperware, and serving ware. After going through multiple calls with the management company to list my family members, sign pages-long contracts, and download particular apps for check-in, I expected to be treated well when I called to ask about the inoperable fireplace. Instead, they were incredibly rude, yelling over me the same line about me not understanding their contract. I would have appreciated a simple "sorry for the confusion" rather than being berated. Location is fine, check-in/check-out were easy. But not worth the price for the lack of sparkle and lack of respect.

The fridge/ice maker weren’t working for the first 36 hours, the out door shower/bathroom was dirty, the 1nd floor a/c wasn’t working, and a previous tenant left behind some nasty underwear not removed by the cleaning service. But ,Paramount was very responsive and solved the problems as quickly as could be expected.

Duck Birthday Weekend

Very nice house and excellent location. Two problems, though. First, the TV is WAY too confusing. It took two days of pain trying to find channels before I had a technician come to the house. Even he was confused though he persisted and after about 30+ minutes figured it out (Spectrum via Apple TV). You should put some quick instrucitons in a lucite sleeve (similar to all of the other info for the house) on the coffee table. Would have eliminated a LOT of frustration. The washer did not work. The same technician looked at it and when he was there, it did work. But I later figured out it does not work either when it is on "whites" or "hot" for the temperature. When I ran a load with "colors" and "warm, it worked fine.
