There were a few problems that were addressed to our satisfaction. The location and amenities (pool/hot tub) were first rate. However,the dishwashers were not up to speed leaving mounds of water to wipe up when unloading. The kitchen was well stocked. The trash pick up and check out time directions contradicted themselves but we figured it out. I would stay here again! ##### MARTHA K.

Also there were no spices to cook with, not even salt or pepper.

Reviewer Comments: We are 2 Grandparents renting with our family There were 15 of us with food to refrigerate. One of the refrigerators doesn’t keep food cold. It works on and off and lets food get ruined and unsafe to eat. That refrigerator NEEDS to be replaced!! The hvac vents/filters need to be cleaned.We had a nice stay, but would never rent this house again with that faulty refrigerator.I would only recommend this property if I knew the bad refrigerator was replaced.

The house needs a thorough cleaning especially under the couches. Furniture, plumbing fixtures need replacement. Areas of the floor tile, on first floor, are covered with duct tape.

I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: pictures & description show one side, being there is another. Kitchen is meant to be used (double everything) no place to store items, needs a pantry. 1 of the fridgs is either too cold or warm, stove fans have no filters, smoke just rolls out, not hot pads provided to protect laminate tops. tile shower has no shelves, have to put personal items on floor, house needs a deep cleaning, duct tape used to fix broken floor tiles. Roaches on first floor, pool deck coming unattached (watch your step) no place to put umbrellas around very hot pool deck, other decks are a hazard (old & rotting), handrails are unsafe to put hands on (6 of the guest got spinsters). Layout good, location great, clean poor, parking great. For the money spent expectations were not met. ##### Scott D.

May 24, 2022 #### Over all A Wonderful Vacation Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 3rd time staying at the Good Life! A few little things that we noticed, the Pool Table couldn't be used, as a couple of the pockets were not there. The foosball table wasn't usable, because one the rods wasn't working correctly. It hasn't been usable on any of our stays. Because the beds are high in some of rooms, one of our party, was hoping they would put a chair in the room. Also, no way to control the speed of the fan in one the 2nd level bedrooms. All and all, it was a wonderful time at the Good Life. Upon checking into the house, we were able to meet the house Owner. She is very pleasant, and really liked our Shelties! My favorite house in OBX! ##### Sandy B. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Susan F. Sep 26, 2022 #### Great location, Not-Great house Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: At first, we thought the house was just “tired” since it was the end of the season. Then, as we unloaded and unpacked, we realized it wasn’t clean - and parts hadn’t been cleaned for weeks (like handrails). The sheets had not been changed and had hair and stains. There were about 8 real glasses and all the rest were cheap plastic- even the wineglasses! The pool was dirty and I don’t think it was cleaned while we were there. Called the propert company the first day about cleaning and sheets and was told owner used a private company. Won’t rent this house or any other with the same owner again. ##### Susan F.

The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this house for two weeks to hold our friends and our family for our Nags Head wedding. The condition of the house was terrible. There was sand all over the windows and hot tub was not working well. Also, the furniture is outdated and in need of repairs. The sofa corner had a piece of metal sticking out that actually cut one of our family members. The worst part was the first night when we discovered a mouse in the house. There were also mouse droppings on the top floor bedroom sheet. Horrible. We wanted the house rental to be an annual trip, but there is no way we are going back there. Shame on the owners for not keeping up with the house. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Angela W. May 30, 2024 #### Nice House Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the Elevator. Helped out with people who weren’t able to climb stairs. And the big kitchen for all of us with 2 frigs and stove.The AC Upstairs took until middle of week to get fixed it was soooo Hot. But finally came 3 rd time to fix the main issue. Showers in some of bedrooms were small and slippery hard to get in and some just a tub no shower. But we worked it out.Saw a roach on middle floor turned us off a little might need a good cleaning and spray down the crawlers. Beds were hard as a rock would recommend little foam mattress on them . Over all pretty house and spacious. Pool was great and hot tub. Stairs to beach is rough if have handicapped people not able to get out. But saw Dolphins every morning from top Deck. Furniture could be replaced has stains on it. And recommend a nice recliner for people who can’t sleep in the beds. There was none. Or a chair especially in the bedrooms nowhere to sit down. Overall it was nice for our big group with a few problems.Thank you! ##### Angela W. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Isabel C. Oct 7, 2023 #### 2023 Family Vacation Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House is in a perfect location. Great beach access and bar/restaurant across the street. Easy keyless access, worked great. Elevator was easy to use and in perfect condition. Plenty of beds/rooms for everyone in our group, and each had en-suit bathrooms which was great! Living room/kitchen area were spacious, plenty of seating, plenty of counter space- and two full size fridges was a bonus! The pool was heated and private, and the hot tub was great (not as pictured through, the hot tub does not have a little canopy over it ). Our family was in the pool every day of this trip- was perfect. I do have to say, the house was not cleaned thoroughly. Kitchen counters were sticky, crumbs from old guests on the dining room rug, one of the ovens was really dirty and we didn’t use in case of starting a fire- as well as random socks hanging on the railing to the beach and under furniture in the house. Outdoor kitchen area was not cleaned at all including a trash can still full from the last guests. The area was recently hit with hurricane storms- so this is unlikely to be a recurring problem, however, for our stay- The basement smelled badly of mold and was damp, including the basement bedrooms. Despite those hiccups, our family did have a nice vacation here. ##### Isabel C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rick C. May 9, 2023 #### La Buena Vida indeed Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were the first of our party to arrive and we delighted to discover no one still cleaning up at 4 pm and the combination sent us by Beach Realty opened the door right up. The elevator got us and luggage upstairs and we settled in on the top floor which offers a wonderful view of the ocean, dunes, a local pier and a huge vista of sky. Lots of windows and lots of porch and deck space with plenty of chairs. The living area provides seating for even large groups (we had only seven people). The kitchen is well equipped, with two refrigerators, two stoves, two microwaves and even an air fryer. Rooms were comfortable and beds were just firm enough for a great night’s sleep. All had bath, shower or a combination. The game/recreation area on the lower floor offered pool, fussball, tv and dvd viewing. Also another refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave. Swimming pool was already warmed. Everyone in our group commented on how comfortable the home was. House was clean and the Wi-Fi worked well. While we like trying different places, this would be a home we’d recommend and would happily return to.Was there a downside? We are all wine drinkers and found the plastic wine glasses deprived us of some of the pleasure of drinking a good bottle. Some of the sliding doors were very difficult to open and would benefit from lubrication. We didn’t watch tv but would have appreciated regular cable or satellite service instead of ROKU on all sets.

Reviewer Comments: Great location and great layout of the house. Only issue we had is that we received a text saying the house was ready at 5:30pm. Upon arrival the cleaners were still there working. We had to wait another 45 minutes to an hour to unload our cars. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### mark h.
