Great spot, so close to the beach

Excellent house. The entrance to the beach is just about across the street. Very relaxing and great help from the rental agency, as this was a last minute rental.

The location was great and the property was very close to the beach, which made the stay really convenient. The amenities were nice, and overall we had a good experience.The main issue was cleanliness upon arrival. It did not seem like the house had been thoroughly cleaned before we got there, as there was a noticeable amount of sand on the floors and a few areas felt like they needed more attention. Aside from that, everything else was great. With a better cleaning between guests, this would have been an excellent stay.

Beautiful Location

The location was beautiful, with easy access to the beach. The house was large enough to fit everyone, but the listing says sleeps 14, we had 13 people, and two of our teenagers needed to sleep on the couch. The home could also use some increased pest control. Overall, our stay was amazing. Check-in and out easy, communication with renter great, close to many amenities. Loved it was dog friendly!

Thanks for your comments and your 4-Star review. You are correct, this house has bedding for 12 people, not 14. We will get that corrected on the listing right away.

Spring Duck

Very nice house with lots of decks and excellent views. Clean throughout. King size beds very comfy. Kids complained the single beds were rock hard. Hot tub worked perfectly. Beach a stone's throw away. Quiet street in a pleasant neighborhood. Ten minute bike ride to town on a wide bike path. I would definitely rent this house again. Two minor annoyances. 1) The showers. Cheap plastic inserts. Cramped. The architect must've thought very tiny people would be occupying the residence. 2) A few more essentials like dish soap, salt and pepper, kitchen brush, bar soap, etc would be appreciated. But, again, minor annoyances. A five star house.

Bill, Thank you for your review on your recent stay at "Dancing Dolphin." We are sorry for the annoyances and we will admonish the architect for the shower size. We appreciate the suggestions on the essentials. We do provide soap for every sink and shower/tub and a starter supply of dish detergent and paper products. We do not include spices due to some guests not wanting to have that in the properties. Glad you gave us 5 stars, and we hope to serve you and your family again soon at Outer Banks Blue!

Great Location and indoor space

A nice property but it would benefit from some updating and maintenance. Lovely indoor space and decks. The property was clean but the furniture and appliances are a bit worn and ready for an update. Internet was good. Beds comfortable. The kitchenware and small appliances need updating -cracked and chipped china and not enough of some items. Needs some decorating and TLC.
