Three story house in nice neighborhood with beach access and close to shops and restaurants. Great amenities including pool and hot tub. No view of ocean from house. About third of a mile walk to beach and to nearest restaurants and shops. Kitchen is well stocked. Check in and check out are very easy.

The house is beautiful and in a great location! The only advise I have is know that it is 3 stories and the kitchen/living area is on the third floor. Not a problem, just wanted to make it known for anyone that has problems with stairs. We had a great time and would go back to this house with a large gathering. Very family friendly!

A Wonderful Week in OBX

This house worked out beautifully for our family vacation in the Outer Banks. We had plenty of space and it was easy to communicate with Beach Realty as needed. We really enjoyed having a pool right on the property and having multiple decks were terrific! Would definitely recommend this home.

We really loved the size and location of Casa Bella. It was close to the beach and shops in Duck. Unfortunately, the house was in need of a thorough cleaning. It lacked even the most basic of materials. No mop or broom for the outside areas. Keeping the floors clean was a battle. Many of the remotes to the TVs didn’t work or were missing. The space was great but it needs some TLC.

Thank you for giving us feedback about your experience! It sounds like the cleaning was not to our typical standards upon your arrival. In the future, please let us know immediately as we would be more than happy to send out a crew to address the missed areas. Same holds true for missing items, we certainly want your stay to be as hassle free as possible. Overall, it sounds like you had a nice time. We hope to see you again soon.

A large family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The walk to the beach is LONG and after a day of fun in the sun the return trip is even harder because of the incline back to the house. The house is lovely and well designed for noise purposes. It easily accommodated our family. The mattresses are in serious need of updating and the pool is quite small.

Great week in Duck

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: Our family trip this year brought us to Casa Bella in Duck. The experience with the rental company was great from the start and remained as such for the duration of our stay. The location of the home was good for our needs - we did rent a golf cart to shuttle family from the house to the beach and strongly recommend doing the same if you have anyone unable to walk very long distances. The only complaint we had was overall condition of the home as it could benefit from some TLC on the interior. The outdoor amenities were great, pool was very clean and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Feb, 2024
Thank you for sharing your advice about renting a golf cart, Jon! Future guests could benefit from reading your review! We are very glad you enjoyed the pool! We appreciate your feedback about the properties interior. We look forward to hosting you on your next trip to the Outer Banks!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this was quite clean and we loved the flooring. Bedrooms were spacious. The pool was a little small but very nice and serviced regularly. The midges were pretty gross, but not house's fault! Couldn't get hot water in the kitchen sink. We had to clean the exterior dryer vent to be able to dry anything. Love how close to Duck it was but definitely need a golf cart for beach and we did not know that in advance and could not rent one when we got there.Overall great house!!

We picked this home because it fit our needs and was dog friendly. It was clean and everything worked fine. Main tv did not work but maybe it was user error? Not here to watch tv anyway. Lots of steps which is good exercise. Wife said where is the elevator. Lol. Location to beach was great. Was a very short walk. Would rent this again next time we plan a trip to Duck..

Casa Bella in August

We liked the house. It was very clean. We did the linen package which helped since we were coming from Jersey. Loved the location of the house, easy to walk to some shops. Our 17 yr olds love that. The beach was with in walking distance. We did rent a golf cart. My elderly parents came with us so that helped in getting them to the beach. The only complaint was the grounds. We couldn’t use the volley ball court. It was covered in weeds and my husband weeded the pool area when we got there. That needed to be weeded as well. I understand that it’s hard to keep up with some of these things but we couldn’t use the volleyball court and that was disappointing. Other than that we had a nice stay.

Great House to Spend a Holiday

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Follow the Sun for Thanksgiving week. We had family gathering from VA, TX and NC to celebrate the Holiday together. While we spend every summer at the Outer Banks, this was our first opportunity to stay over the Thanlsgiving Holiday. We had plans to cook our Thanksgiving Dinner at the house, but frankly, was a little concerned with how well equipped Follow the Sun was to meets our needs. Follow the Sun met and exceeded our expectations in many areas! The house had plenty of room for all of our guests and plenty of space for everyone to gather and share meals. We were very pleased with how well prepared the kitchen was to prepare our Thanksgiving Dinner. Virtually all of the kitchen essentials were fairly new and in great condition, what a relief that was! We liked being so close to Duck (10 min walk) and we made several trips to town for activities each day. Pros: * Overall size of house and accommodations * Proximity to Duck * Well Decorated and well appointed * Nice pool and hot tub (however, we could not partake in the pool due to the season) Cons: * A bit far from the beach for our liking * While the house was clean, the carpet downstairs needs to be cleaned

Kitty Hawk Rentals is so very pleased to hear that your family gathering for Thanksgiving at "Follow the Sun" exceed your expectations and Thanksgiving was wonderful holiday for your families. Being close to Duck Village is always great, being able to just take 5-10 minutes and you are back at the property. There is so much to do and see in Duck Village, hopefully your family had time to enjoy the wonderful Sound Front walkway/trail and experience being right over the sound and see all the wildlife in their habitats. The swans and geese arrived just in time for your holiday in Duck. Please join Kitty Hawk Rentals for many more vacations here on the Outer Banks in the future.

Adequate,but not Awesome

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was 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 appreciated the ample room for our group of 11 adults + a baby, and enjoyed being able to sit down together for meals at the large table. The linen service was wonderful. We also liked the location--close to shopping in Duck, and fairly close to the beach. However, we were disappointed by the unpleasant damp smell in the basement, the unusable volleyball court, the overgrown trees that blocked the sunsets, the non-functioning wagon to haul beach chairs, the broken/rusted beach equipment, the lack of deck chairs (only two for a house that sleeps 16), and the uncomfortable furniture in the living room.

The pool did not get cleaned as it was suppose to be cleaned half way threw our vacation . But over all it was a great family vacation.

Thank you for letting Kitty Hawk Rentals know that all in all your family enjoyed their vacation at "Follow the Sun". We do apologize that the tree trimming did not get completed while you were at the house.

Follow the Sun -7/18-7/25,2015

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we were satisfied with our rental experience. There were some issues that I will address. The volleyball court was basically unuseable-weeds, etc growing in sand had not been cleared out nor was there a rake or tool for us to use to do it. The trees that grow close to the pool area should be cut back-they drop an unpleasant purple berry in the pool and on the area surrounding the pool.I understand that with such a quick turnover from one group to the next that there is little time for carpet cleaning- somehow, it should still be done. The last two times that we have rented in Duck, we found out upon arrival that the house we had rented was for sale. I do believe that the owners do not take as much pride in their rental when they are expecting to sell it (things that should be repaired or replaced are not). I do think that the rental company was responsive to maintenance issues we made them aware of and responded quickly in addressing those concerns. All in all we still had a very good vacation.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It is obvious from the lack of improvements that this house is for sale. No pool furniture has been added so they are down to three chairs. Same with deck furniture, some of which is broken. We love the layout of this house, just hope the new owners put some effort into making it more inviting.

Very pleased to learn that your family's choice of "Follow the Sun" was a "perfect" home for your vacation here on the Outer Banks. This is a great house for a family group with spaces for everyone to gather, but also places to go and just relax, nap or read that book you brought with you. It is always great to have a pool and other amenities for everyone to enjoy as much as going to the beach. Please join us again for many more vacations at "Follow the Sun" in the future.

It was a dog friendly property, but every time my son got down to play with his toys on the floor he was covered in dog hair from the previous guest.
