Money > Safety
Unfortunately, we were traveling during Hurricane Debby and were not able to access this property. The area was under a state of emergency with flooding and road closures. We asked about a credit to be able to travel when it was safe for our family or even a refund on the cleaning fee since we never stepped foot on the property. Vacasa who manages the property stated that “unless there is a mandatory evacuation, we will not help.” They even sent us tips for what to do during a tornado or other effects from the storm. Sadly, we cannot remark about the property due to not be able to travel to it.

Beautiful house and location
This property was beautifully kept and perfect room for our family. Having towels and linens provided along with the starter kit of toilet paper/paper towels/dishwasher and washing machine pods was great. The dock was perfect for fishing and our SUPs. Location was across a busy road to the beach, but easy 5 minute walk to public access, or you could drive to public access and park. Close to Jockey’s Ridge State Park and minutes from good seafood and restaurants. Short 10 minute drive to Bodie Island lighthouse. Overall, great place for family of small group.

Great location, and beautiful house
The pictures is exactly how the house was displayed. Beautiful decor and everything you would need for an extended stay. Complimentary items were left like toilet paper, paper towels, washing pods, dishwasher pods, soap/shampoo and dish soap which is a great help when you're traveling. We did a lot of sight seeing during our stay but enjoyed the location of the house.

Such a charming house!
We loved everything about our stay at this charming property! The property was just as pictured and the views were even better! The property was immaculate and had everything we needed. The only thing we needed that wasn't provided was an iron and ironing board. We would definitely stay here again and again!

Magical!
Just.. dreamy....you can imagine you are in your own little slide of paradise. The home feels luxurious, cozy, clean, and beautifully designed. The only thing that was misleading, the ads show the TVs with netflix, hulu, Disney and various other streaming services, but they don't actually have them available. You must bring your own accounts, which we don't have, so a cold December weekend we planned to curl up and watch TV didn't really work out that way. Doesn't matter, our trip got cut short for family emergency, so we are trying to find a time to come back asap we loved it so much.

Quiet waterside
It is pretty obvious that the home has recently been renovated and they did a fine job. Simple, tasteful and comfortable. Open and spacious with nice size rooms, great beds. Central location makes is pretty easy to visit from Corolla to Orcacoke while there. Restaurants and shopping nearby. Nice sunrise and sunset over the water. While not on a beach or bay, the canal is clean and you can sit on the bay at the small neighborhood beach just down the street. Very nice outdoor seating on two levels and lots of glass in the living area to enjoy the views.
