Very good

We were looking for somewhere close to the beach so we would be able to go back and forth with littles. This was a convenient location and an enjoyable stay. House was clean, plenty of amenities. Lots of room for our family and friends. We would come visit Nags Head and stay at the beach house again.

My elderly parents stayed with us and I was concerned about the access to the beach, but the walk was so easy, a ramp and a few steps right over the dune and to the sand.

Hi Erin. We are happy to hear it was easy for them to walk to the beach!
Everything was accurate. However the couch has a lot of stains and the beds/pillows were very uncomfortable. Communications was AMAZING and location was perfect for the event we were attending

Nags Head weekend
This property was fine for our smaller group. The master closet had a funny smell.
I don’t think 10 would fit.

NOT AS CLEAN AS I WOULD LIKE!
LOVE THE LAYOUT BUT RATHER SMALL IN NATURE. SOFAS NEED CLEANING!
Walking distance to the beach, close to restaurants. Great location!! Nags Head situated right in the middle of Corolla on one end Cape Hatteras on the other. The unit had a few issues. A/C wasn’t cooling in the living area (was 85-90 outside) however bedrooms and upstairs were cool. Coffee maker wasn’t working (we called & they replaced a couple of days later). The communication was efficient via text. But for the we paid we expect to not call in with these issues.

Hi Ram, thank you for your review! We are glad that you enjoyed the home. We wish that we could have gotten everything in working order. We have our team working on your issues for future guest. We hope to host you again in the future!
Beach and pool were very conveniently located. House was okay overall. It was nicely furnished however sofas and chairs were all stained. Bedding was not great either. We also had a few “water bugs” scurrying around. When we called rental management, response time was quick and issues were adequately addressed.
This property was clean,and accurately described. However, it was smaller than the pictures present. Their were ten of us and the living room area could not accommodate all of us at one time. There is no washer and dryer so this is a problem when you are their 6 days. Beach access was wonderful and pool was clean and well stocked with chairs.
