Our stay started off a little rocky hot tub was not working and no tips on pools sticks so for about 4 days no hot tub. It rook a few calls to get it right. Gentlemen, that came out and fixed hot tub was great. Tips were fixed. After everything was done, we had great time here and we were compensated, for the 4 days, with no hot tub, so excellent service thereafter. Excellent location. We enjoyed our time. We will be rebooking for next year.

Great location!

I loved the location of this house. This was my first stay in Buxton. The house has lots of charm but needs some TLC. There is a lot to be desired when it comes to curb appeal, however it has a pool and hot tub which was enjoyed by the whole family! Also, very roomy so you aren't cramped with a large group. We could walk to the beach in 3 minutes or less. With some repairs and updating, this could be the best house on the block in my opinion.

Great place!

We were at the house for 4 nights and it was just amazing! Great house, little outdated, but clean and neat! The pool was great, the jacuzzi was great as well! We have no complaints at all, but couple of little stuff. The balconies are very old with a lot of rusted nails all around, so make sure to wear shoes. There are no beach towels and no umbrellas or beach chairs, so make sure to bring your own. The beach is like a minute walk and it’s like a private one. The only people there and the ones from the houses around! We will definitely go back there next year!
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Aug, 2025
Iliyana, thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We appreciate you bringing the issue with the balconies to our attention—we’ll be sure to share this with our local team to address promptly. Regarding the beach towels, umbrellas, and chairs, these items are not included as part of the amenities for this home, but we understand how they can enhance your beach experience. We’re glad you still had a wonderful stay and look forward to welcoming you back next year!

Great Stay - could use some updating

Two families stayed here for the week (12 people). The layout of the house is great for big groups - plenty of beds and bathrooms. The pool and hottub were great. A few things that could be improved: The microwave worked but was very loud; the fridge smelled like fish when we arrived - we purchased Baking Soda for fridge/freezer, and by the next day it was better. Lastly, the decks could use some TLC... pressure washing at a minimum to clean them and there was also a loose board on first level.

Beach

It was great. The problems we had were taken care of. It took some time but they compensated us . The house had plenty of dishes , glasses silverware. I did bring more pots but I cook big meals . It does take 24 hrs for the fridge to cool. But there is a foodlion 10 mins away. And the beach is less than a 3 min walk from the house. I will definitely be back !

Vacasa Home

Lots of improvements needs to be done, however the house is for sale so I’m assuming there will be no more updates. We were also under the impression that we would have tv, however there was no connection to several of them and the remote controls were missing batteries The hot tub only heated to 92. The ants are almost unbearable. They were everywhere in the home. There was a lot of mold in the bathrooms. Ice maker didn’t work properly. I’m really disappointed as this was not our original vacation home we chose. We were offered this home as an accommodation as the home we originally rented was already booked. I read the reviews and they weren’t great however out of the choices we were given this home is the one that would accommodate all of our family. We were assured that the complaints had been addressed. The only good thing was the beach was in walking distance.

Good location and could be a great house

Pool was good, location is great. House is poorly maintained and could be much better. when we first showed up other than some hiccups with the cleaning people delaying our check in we thought this was going to be a house we would rent year after year for our annual obx trip but as you started to walk around you could see ants in the bathrooms and kitchen, not even salt and pepper left for tenants to use. The deck is structurally unsafe to the point of boards falling off when stepped on and nail heads sticking out of the deck. We wouldn’t recommend anyone with small children stay in this house it would be a nightmare with splinters, nails, loose railing, and loose boards. There were some cockroaches in the bottom floor and the ice in the ice machine was covered in dirt and sand. It’s a shame because if it was kept clean and there weren’t short cuts taken on painting anf maintaining the interior and the deck was repaired it could be a beautiful home.

Decently priced house, needs work

Decent price, walkable to the beach and near to convenience stores. It was a good stay with sufficient space for our family. And the good ends here. House was not clean enough compared to all my prior vacation stays. some bed sheets had stains. Insufficient/incorrect description of rooms. 1 room cannot be considered as 5ht BR. We felt short of bed room. Old and misleading pictures of the house. Not enough basic necessities such as trash bags, soaps and minimum needed kitchen items were not provided. Clothes dryer was not working. Not a single beach item such as umbrellas or Not a single beach item such as umbrellas or chairs were available. Tv in living room did not work for any smart feature. Only cable was working with limited channels. But there were good purposeful utensils. Dryer was not working. Wifi was weak in most parts of the house.

Unclean and Unresponsive

It was clear the residence had not been occupied in a while. There was no cleaning or inspection prior to our arrival. We arrived to a dirty house with ants everywhere. They were on every surface and the floor. They were live ants crawling everywhere and tons of dead ants all over the floors and windowsills. The towels and sheets had to be washed when we arrived due to the dead ants all over. The property managers were completely unresponsive. We were told every day of our 4 day trip that the local management had been contacted and that something would be done, but nothing was ever done. We never heard from the local management. We had to personally purchase cleaning supplies, scrub down every surface, and clean the floors. We set traps but they kept coming back and getting into our food. There were not enough towels provided to us for the number of people we had reserved the house for. Many of the light bulbs and light fixtures did not work. There weren’t lids on two of the outdoor trash cans, so there was two feet of standing water mixed with trash in the cans when we arrived. The hot tub had not been cared for and was filled with sand and grime. The cover for the hot tub was dry-rotted and disintegrating. The house itself was in a great location. The house had good amenities and games. The house would have served us well had it been cleaned and the property managers been responsive. It is clear this house was not well-maintained, nor did they care about the guests.

Beautiful spacious beach house in need to TLC

This is a beautiful home in our favorite neighborhood; light and airy layout, and nice views for an Oceanside home, spacious kitchen and lots of seating at counter, dining table and game table. However I can’t highly recommend this house as it is in need of some TLC. The landscape is a disaster with weeds that have been allowed to over grow, killing the curb appeal and taking away from the enjoyment of the pool area. We did use the pool and spa without issue but would have been nice to have more enticing space and some shade would be appreciated. Overall the home is a bit shopworn and could really benefit from some updates. At the very least some of the bathroom mirrors need replacing, and some of the furnishings as well, particularly in the bedrooms and the “tower” room. I saw some prior reviews that complained about poorly equipped kitchen but we found it to have everything we needed and the house was clean, but I can confirm they are still battling some ants. While none were spotted upon move in, a few days later I found some around the kitchen sink. I called to report it and couldn’t get through but automated system said someone would call back but never got call back and I did not try again. I killed all I could see and then put out an ant trap. I know they can be tough to get rid of and they was no food or crumbs in area and everything was clean. We had rain 2 days and we had a major leak right over the fireplace behind the tv. After calling, a maintenance person was dispatched right away and while it obviously couldn’t be fixed during the storm he did identify the source of the leak and provided some bigger buckets to catch the water so we wouldn’t have to keep emptying them and also it protected the tv and stereo equipment. So I can say that we had a positive experience with Vacasa. TV’s in the game room and living room worked on cable and also were smart TV’s so we were able to stream using the wifi. We were unable to get bedroom tv to work, but I did not call to report since it was late when I noticed it. This is first time we did not get an oceanfront home in a long time, but the beach is an easy walk and visible between other homes. It turned out to not be a big deal since we didn’t get to go to beach but the one day. I found the living space to be comfortable; but the mattresses were not. With a little TLC and some repairs this home could be beautiful again. It’s on the market so I hope someone buys it that will bring it back to a higher level.
