Plenty of room for a family of 6. Easy access to the beach. Nice pool and hot tub. Would love to give it a higher rating for those reasons alone but it could definitely use some TLC and attention given to the ants. Overall though a pretty good stay.

Luxe accommodation, with some wear and tear. Beds comfortable, hot tub a treat. Kitchen very nice, but Not A Single grain of salt or pepper Other than that, only annoyance was lack of beach towels, but perhaps I missed that note.Hope to return when pool is open as well.

Had a nice week
The pool was great. Our two grand kids loved it. The house was set up well . Had everything to make ourselves at home.
Perfect location short walk to ocean, could drive to many more secluded spots. House very clean, centrally located to restaurants and stores. Kitchen well stocked any thing you need!!
The house was perfect. Could use a deep clean but overall it met our needs!

Great location
This house was light, bright, and comfortable. It was as also clean. This house is not a beach property but easily walkable to beach.
We can in town for the fishing tournament. And this was just the right fit for our little crew. We enjoyed being able to have a place where we could bring our puppy with us. The pool area was nice. Maybe next time we can try it out in the summer. The house is clean and very open upstairs in the living area.

Well equipped beach house with plenty of room for our group.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nautlius (week of 9/16/17). Having Club Hatteras available to us when we arrived early was a nice perk. Hatteras Realty did a wonderful job keeping us updated of impending weather, trash pickups, etc.. The house was spacious and the kitchen was very well-stocked. We loved having a private pool and hot tub. Great location-subdivision is right next door to the grocery store as well as restaurants.

Worker for us!
We booked this home the last minute on our kids Spring Break. The house worked fine for us and had most of what we needed for our trip. It was too chilly to use the pool but the hot tub was nice. It’s placed in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of stores and a small shopping center.
House was great. However, there are ants in kitchen. Bought bug spray then found some in drawers etc.

Needs to have a walk through
The property was in a nice quiet area with close access to a grocery store. Bit of a walk to the beach but not that far. Reported problems but never resolved (hot tub needed maintenance, lights not working, door lock broken, faucet dripping and more). Pool was nice. Property needs someone to do a walk through before next guest.

Jasmine, thanks for taking the time to share your review. Our team has been working to make improvements and address concerns. We appreciate your visit and would love to host you again soon.
House was clean. Perfect for our sized group. Downfall was that check in was supposed to be at 5pm, which is late in my opinion to charge for a whole day. I reached out to VACASA for more bath towels because we had 7 people staying there, and were only provided with 4 towels. I asked for more towels, but they were never brought. No hot tub cover at all so every leaf that blew off the trees ended up in the hot tub. House needs a few upgrades, but no other complaints! Location was great! Close to everything needed!

Great stay
We arrived Saturday and unfortunately had to evacuate Monday morning so our stay was interrupted by Hurricane Maria. There are no views of beaches from this location but the house was very nice. Beds are not comfortable, very hard and comforters are a little worn. We purchased the bedding package and that was all clean and in good condition. One of the upstairs bathrooms was in need of some TLC. I would definitely rent again. The rental company was very professional and friendly. Just wish we could have stayed for the whole vacation.

A Sweet Spot
Listen, it's a beach house; so there will be some wear and tear. Some lights didn't work and the hot tub needs some love... But this is a sweet spot. My family had a wonderful time and felt like this was one of the best locations we have stayed in OBX. The pool was fantastic. It is close to everything that matters and Vacasa is attentive to any issues. Our door would not lock at first, but a gentleman came and made a repair after we notified them.
The only real issue was it's listed that there is a video game console onsite but that was not there when we stayed. Since that was not the reason we chose the house it didn't matter to us... just a heads up to any gamers.

Hi, Kyle. Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your understanding that wear and tear can be expected in a beach house. We're glad to hear that, despite some minor issues with the lights and the hot tub, you and your family had a wonderful time and found it to be one of the best locations you've stayed in. We're also happy that the pool was fantastic and that our team was attentive to any issues that arose, such as the door lock. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the missing video game console and appreciate you letting us know so we can update the listing accordingly. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you and your family back in the future!
Great location with only a few minutes to walk to the beach. Loved having a washer and dryer as well! Grocery store is right next to the neighborhood.
Neighborhood is quiet and there are lots of convenient dog waste stations around.
Only issues were that two of the three shower curtains in the house had lots of mold on them and the tubs didn't drain well. Because of this, we ended up only using one shower in the house.
The hot tub was also not completely full when we got there (several jets weren't submerged) and the tub gradually lost an abnormal amount of water during our stay.
Also to note: there aren't any dish towels in the house so might want to bring your own.

Hi Briana! Thank you for your review of our home. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the home and location to be what you were hoping for. We are pleased to report that the local staff has replaced the shower curtain, thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our local staff also review the hot tub and all is in working order. We appreciate your comments and hope to host you again very soon.
We had a great week at this property! It was accurately pictured and described (I actually feel it was more spacey than pictured!), a very convenient location to the beach, store, etc. The grill was a little disappointing (it was basically a “camp site” charcoal grill in the front yard), and we did have an issue with the pool mid week: the filter stopped running by Tuesday afternoon - called the maintenance number as it was a hot week and obviously, not having a filter circulating and cleaning led to a little bit of a grimy, cloudy pool by the end of the week. I was really disappointed by the response time from the maintenance sector, and the pool never did get fixed while we were there. One of the main attractions of renting this property was for the pool (we had 2 little guys and an 8 month pregnant guest that were not able to get in the rough ocean and relied on cooling off in the pool). Other than that, everything else was great - wonderful spot and rental for a family vacation.
