We thoroughly enjoyed our Spring Break vacation at the Harper House. A great home for our rather large family of 7 and everyone loved it. Great views and literally steps from the beach. Added entertainment by surfers and dolphins that was very interesting and exciting. Would love to return and would recommend to friends and family. Thank you to the Harper House for a very fun Spring Break!

Location right on the sand was excellent. Home needs some attention and updating.
Perfect for surf fishing! Best to navigate area with a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Streets sand-covered or under water much of the time. Nice fish-cleaning area outside.

This beach house was exactly what we were searching for. Great mellow location. The beach is viewed from almost every window. Equipped with everything you will need. The views are spectacular. We seen some of the most amazing scenes while we visited. Kite surfers. Sunrise and sunset. Double rainbows. There was so many beautiful seashells to collect as well. This trip was so important. It was my mother’s bucket list wish. It was heavenly. I recommend this rental to anyone looking for a peaceful beach house that can be enjoyed day and night.

scary water week.
Angel worked very hard to get sand removed from the entry steps to house. The ocean was very angry the first few days we were there. Water everywhere under house. We loved our stay even though very different from many other stays. There is plenty of seating in great room and the beds are very comfortable

Love the harper
Been staying there for 10 years God willing me and the family will be there for 10 more. The view is unbelievable!!! If mike (the owner) ever decided to sell I'm all in. Sharon from vaccacas office is fantastic helped me reverse the weeks I always want. Couldn't be happier.
The only downside to staying here is the encroachment of the surf that occasionally sweeps beneath the house and driveway. Safe parking for vehicles during these times (...now more frequent) is a challenge.
House was great for view and location! Nails sticking up on top deck, floors were sticky, bedroom doors don’t lock, had to buy a coffee pot because the one there was dirty. Didn’t help washing it.! Carpets need a good clean! Loved the living room!

Great location
Nothing like being only steps from the water. Listening to the waves all day and night, sitting on the decks overlooking the ocean is simply wonderful. You forgot something? It steps back to the house... Bathroom? Mere steps away... Lunch? Run upstairs and grab something.
Everything we needed plus was there.

Please be aware the top deck banisters are loose and a child could easily fall through! We reported it and they never sent anyone out to repair them.

We apologize for any concern you felt due to the deck railing. We do have a vendor scheduled to fix this. Thanks, Mary!
The walls need to be cleaned. All dishes need to be cleaned and floors need a deep clean. Everything from carpet to linoleum is nasty. Couch is nasty so I sat on blankets that I washed before use. Huge roaches in the house! House needs some attention from owners clearly!

there were cigarette butts all over outside would not have been an issue if the agreement hadn't specifically said no smoking inside and out there were screens laying on the ground missing from windows and a door the ceiling fans throughout were very nasty just about every faucet In the house was dripping trash pickup was also an issue cans were full upon arrival trash was dumped once and it was on a Thursday not Tuesday or Friday like the check in notes and even still they only dumped 1 can

We sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issue you encountered upon arrival and appreciate you alerting us and allowing our team to make it right. We hope to host you for another truly carefree and great vacation in the future!
The house on a few easy steps to the beach it was great to just step onto the beach. We could see the waves and sit and watch the ocean from the living room. We came for the beach. The house is for sale and badly in need of TLC. Some of the sliding patio doors done work, a screen was torn and the first night we saw an American cockroach. The staff at Vacasa were polite and friendly and apologized for this but didn't do much else to correct the situation. A maintenance person came to spray for mold in the AC vents but when asked for pesticides said he could not give any out. We continued to see roaches in the evenings in the kitchen and downstairs. Definitely put a big damper on our time there.

Harper House was amazing
We loved everything about this house and its location. We cannot wait to return. We cook a lot when we do the beach house vacation and were extremely pleased with the kitchen and its setup. A couple things to be aware of if your looking at this house. High tide comes to the house now, so there is limited beach space in front of the house, which gets shared by the others on the streets behind you. It never felt crowded, and people were courteous, but you don't have that large beach space in front of the house like other properties. This was a huge plus for me, some others may not like it so much. There are also a lot of stairs. That is to be expected for "on the beach" houses. This may be an issue for older guests or older dogs Part of the road and the driveway are sand. We had AWD or 4WD vehicles. I do not think it would have been an issue if we didn't, but that is probably something to keep in mind. All these are issues with a lot of beach houses, and no complaint at all on our part, just something to keep in mind as you plan a vacation. Again, can't wait to get back to this house. 42 years of OBX trips, and this is our current favorite.

The views are great the house layout is great
The house is situated directly beside the ocean. The views are amazing. Pretty much the ocean may come up directly to the small dune protecting the base of the house. The home itself is in need of updating and cleaning. The place was very dirty upon arriving. Sand was on the floor already in some places. The kitchen floor was gross. The shower was gross. The carpet is relatively old. 2 dying roaches were found on the first morning we were there, one in the kitchen and another in a bedroom. We didn't see any more after that. The rental company provides clean sheets which is good, however, the blankets were dirty and had to be laundered before we could use them. Since I was in the off season, I wasn't disappointed because the rate was good, however, it seems that for the same week next year the rate is a lot higher, I would certainly be disappointed if I paid that much.
