A great week at the beach

We love this house because it's in our favorite Southern Shores neighborhood and so close to the beach. The house is contemporary without being ultra-modern so we feel at home. The kitchen is well-equipped. We love having a washer and dryer available.

The best neighborhood!

We stayed at the house behind the EMS station for years and now it is no longer available. When we discovered this house on VRBO we booked for both April and August. The house is so quiet that you can hardly hear traffic or thunderstorms. There is a doe and her two fawns that visit regularly ( just like at home). We were very content for the whole week!

Location-Great, Stay-Average

This review was written during the off-season over Thanksgiving 2024. This property is very convenient to the beach. Just a 2- to 3-minute walk, and you're there! This helped a lot since there wasn't any major road to cross, just one less traveled road. The home needs upgrades: The "Welcome" mat at the door was worn out and tired. The bunkbed squeaked with every movement, so our son needed to sleep on the sofa. The kitchen needed a few more items to make it more usable. The electric stove was slow to heat. The furniture and decor in some of the rooms were outdated. The thermostat was set at 70 degrees. At night the HVAC couldn't keep up heating the home and when we woke up in the mornings it was cool in the house. Once the temp. outdoors warmed, so did the house. There were sand spurs in the carpet that we kept stepping on which did not feel good! Overall, the home would be ok to stay at if you're on a budget, especially if you have a young family. Communication with the owner was very good.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Dec, 2024
I was appalled this when I received your rating of 3 stars. This is the lowest rating that we have ever received. You said very little that was positive, including no comments about the nice bottle of wine I left you. You had a concern about the Welcome Mat outside the front door. Although it is completely functional, it’s faded because of the harsh Coastal conditions of intense wind, sand, sun. The bunkbed squeaked, as most do, but the lower bunk does not. The bunk bed is intended for younger guests. We prefer that guests not sleep on the sofa as your son did. You complained about the kitchen. It has a new drip coffee maker as well as a Keurig coffee maker. It also has a blender, toaster, microwave, pots, pans, kitchen utensils, and ample silverware. No one has ever complained before. I have found that the stove is no slower to heat than any others. Since I knew you were preparing Thanksgiving dinner, I checked it before you arrived. The Wolf oven in our house here on the Sound is slower to heat. You indicated that the furniture and décor in some rooms were outdated. ALL of the rooms were disclosed prior to your arrival in photos on VRBO. Evidently you did not view the pictures in the listing. You said the HVAC could not keep up at 70 degrees. Why didn’t you turn it up to a higher setting? You complained about the sand spurs in the carpet You must have tracked them in. Your comment about the house being OK for younger families is derogatory and discriminating.

Cozy, well stocked house steps from the beach!

Great house in the quiet town of Southern Shores, which is centrally located to many points of interest on the OBX. There was plenty of space for our party of 4. The house was clean with a well stocked kitchen, a large back yard and directly across from a path to the beach. The home was very cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

Everything is as expected; clean living conditions, location accurately described, and easy communiciblilty. Thank you Fred... wherever you might be. You went above and beyond stocking that ocean prior to our visit! The fish mourning bell was a nice touch as well! Would stay every year... if only you were pet friendly!
