The view from the upper level of the house is wonderful and the deck is great for morning brews and views! The house was very clean, the kitchen adequately equipped, and the beds comfortable. We appreciated the two dishwashers. The house was comfortable and had lots of seating.

Friends vacation

The house was very large with plenty of bedrooms with king size beds for 4 couples. Great location with steps to ocean. Property was very nice, little outdated but very clean and comfortable. Wish the kitchen was stocked with a couple of more things like sharper knives and serving bowls. Everything else that we needed was there. Note: Blue Moon is a fantastic restaurant and cannot wait to go back!

Great to have 2 refrigerators. Easy to clean. So nice to have fresh sheets already on the beds. Check in and out was easy. And, they let us check in an hour early without any hassle. Most bathrooms need more towel racks. I really like Beach Realty. They are professional and timely.

Serenity stay - fall 2023

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: The location of this rental was excellent. We went both north and south and found this location to be perfectly in the middle. It was close to grocery and ice cream! The beach location was awesome - cross the berm and you’re on the beach. The house had enough room for all of us (we didn’t use all of the bedrooms. It was clean and had all of the cookware required. The pool and hot tub were great. The grandkids and adults loved it - just steps from the beach. The ability to rinse your feet before coming into the pool area surely kept the sand minimal. The tropical storm was a bit scary on the last evening with no power but the power company was right on it and resolved within a few hours. Overall we had a wonderful fall week!

Could be better, could be worse

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very 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: I’ll start with the positives that the place is in a great location and so close to the beach and the Main floor accommodated our large group comfortably, which was great. Unfortunately the house is a bit rundown and was not clean when we arrived so we ended up cleaning on our own and we had some issues throughout the week that we discovered during our stay (broken patio chair and picnic table, the front deck/stairs feel like it’s about to fall apart, the washing machine sounds possessed, there are no hooks in any of the bathrooms, etc). I the ended had a great vacation but we probably wouldn’t stay here again next year.

I am so sorry to hear that the housekeeping and maintenance was not up to standards as this is uncharacteristic of our level of service and wish for each guest to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Cleanliness is one of our highest priorities and we take feedback like this very seriously. Appropriate staff has been notified to review our cleaning procedures to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Nice house on the beach with lots of interior space

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house had plenty of room for our large group of several families. The rooms were larger than they look in the pictures which was a nice surprise and everyone had plenty of their own space too. Most of the beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of seating in the living room and game room. We would have liked it if the outdoor spaces were a little larger with more seating, but it worked fine. The parking was a little tricky but we made that work as well. We really enjoyed to pool and hot tub and the beach right outside our door was really great! The steps to the beach were a little old and tricky so we had to be a little careful there, but it was so great to have the nice beach right there. We saw dolphins everyday! The location was nice, very close to everything and our teenagers could walk to the pier, ice cream shops and play mini golf in the evenings. This was a great house and we had a great time there!

Good for Families With Young Kids

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: We had a lovely time at this property. The location is excellent, beach access is great, and the pool and hot tub were well-maintained. The kitchen was fairly well-stocked in terms of cooking utensils which was a great surprise for a beach house. Only two items to call out: First, the house was not as clean as I would have hoped (some pretzels on the living room floor from previous guests and one shower in pretty rough shape) but it wasn't a deal-breaker. We were able to check in an hour early, which made the lighter clean more acceptable. Second, the back deck is very rough and one of the children in our party got a splinter. It looks like the wood around the pool was replaced but none of the other back decking, including stairs and balconies. Overall, this was a great house to have several young families in - very comfortable and convenient.

Serenity at Nags Head Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Overall we had a great stay! House size was perfect for our group- loved the 5 King bedrooms with their own bathrooms. The 2 pyramid bunk rooms were ideal as well. Pool and hot tub were in great condition and a welcome respite after a day on the beach. We notified maintenance about several items- raised nails on decking, leftover tent frame at end of walk to beach needing removal, and an unsightly stain in the toilet (which turned out to be result of hard water); excellent maintenance service though understandably due to these being lower priority issues, it did take a couple days before they made it to the house.In the negative side, the kitchen was quite disorganized with pots, pans, lids, cutting boards, utensils in multiple different cabinets. Also there were only 3 wine glasses for this large house. Aside from this, we could rate the house 5 Star for meeting our needs and being as described.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Sept, 2023
Sharon, Thank you for your feedback on "Serenity in Nags Head"! We're delighted to hear that the pool and hot tub were in excellent condition and provided a relaxing break after beach days.

Great amenities, location and views, but needs a little attention

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 very much enjoyed our stay at Serenity Nags Head. The house was located in a great spot, very spacious and housed all 16 of us comfortably. Beds were decently comfortable and bathrooms were clean and functional. Plenty of living and rec space. Decks were mostly refreshed recently except for the walkway over the dune which was very worn. The kitchen was decently stocked and the HVAC systems worked well. Heated pool and hot tub very nice. Our major concern was a poorly attached threshold at the top of the stairs the broke the first time someone stepped on it and grout crumbled down the stairs. I alerted the company immediately but no one ever came to repair it so we had to avoid a significant trip hazard all week. Many blown light bulbs or broken switched and one broken kitchen drawer were also a bit of a bummer. Overall a great week but some attention timely maintenance would be a big plus.

We had a great time and will go back

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We loved the house. It was perfect for our huge family. Plenty of seating for every one. Plenty of room. Lots to do. Very close to the beach. It has two refrigerators and two dishwashers which both came in handy. Very clean. I didn't feel the need to go cleaning before we got settled in. The only downfall for the house for us is the beds are extremely uncomfortable. Unless you love an extremely hard firm mattress then you will get a good nights sleep. A lot of complaints about the beds. Suggestions would be that we wish there were a few more things in the kitchen like regular tea spoons instead of large ones. The kids had a hard time eating with them. And basic small pots. We had to boil a pound of pasta in a huge stock pot because there's wasnt anything smaller. Other than that it was stocked with what we needed. And most of the bedroom and bathroom doors do not lock. They click but you can still open them from the outside. We did have a great time. It's an amazing house.
