Kitchen could use a few more items, but has enough to make do. Coffee pot was missing a piece, but it made coffee so we were good. The view is really sets this place apart, it's amazing! You really feel like you are right on top of the water and the sunsets are incredible. The only issue for us was the check-in and check-out times. It seems most places allow you to check in at 4pm and check out at 11am (I could be wrong). This place is 5pm and 10am. They did grant us an earlier check-in, but 10am was tight for us. ##### Adam W.

We brought our boat and launched it right from the ramp on the property. The sound is peaceful and beautiful, with great views from the house. All the rooms are really big, including the kitchen which can accommodate lots of people helping prepare the meals. The neighborhood is really nice, and you can walk to one of our favorite restaurants (The Froggy Dog). We really had a wonderful stay and will be back. ##### Patricia G.

The house is in good working condition. The neighborhood is very friendly and we met the neighbors and they were very kind. The house comes with one serving only of dish detergent and laundry detergent. The kitchen pots and pans are not great, but we were able to make do, and cook nice dinners, although a nice steaming pot setup would be great, and a few new skillets. Our kids fished off of the 2nd story deck. We caught tiny flounder, pin-fish, and lizard fish. They loved it! There was a white egret that landed on the deck railing. Loons swam in the water outside, pelicans caught fish right before our eyes, the sunsets were amazing, we saw the Aurora Borealis, and also a comet! The layout of the house is very spacious, and open. The kitchen was very big. Everything worked. One thing that stood out to me, was that the kitchen had no sugar, salt, pepper, or any spices left over from other tenants. The coffee maker was "ok". Some houses you stay in will have a pantry with leftover spices and condiments but if you want sugar for your coffee, bring it. Salt and pepper for your food? Bring it. Bring a good frying pan and your favorite cooking utensils. We would 1000% stay again in this house, but now, knowing what the kitchen is like, we would just pack our spices, sugar, salt, coffee maker, and our favorite spatula, so that the cooking would be easier. Rent this house. It's about LOCATION. The dock is awesome, the decks and stairs are brand new, and everything just "worked as it should". We were very pleased. Bring extra towels, TP, and kitchen stuff, and you will feel prepared. ##### Dan D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Krissy W.

Dec 9, 2022 #### Great location and space but needs updates The home was very spacious for two small families and had a great view of the Sound. However, we did have a few issues. When we arrived at the home, it had not been cleaned, although Vacasa staff had told us it was ready. A cleaning crew was sent over once we called and complained. We also had to call an exterminator due to a bug infestation. Small tiny bugs, possibly mites, were found on the furniture and all over the dock. The deck, porch, and stairs need to be updated, as well. The wood is very old and worn. Kids and adults got splinters. Other than these issues it was a good house. ##### Amanda K. ### 8/10 Good #### Mandy b. Nov 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Thanksgiving House was spacious with an amazing porch for sunset views. I communicated with Vacasa 2 different ways to let them know the upstairs shower door was broken, additionally, there was no coffee pot, despite one in the pics of the kitchen, also one of the pocket doors on the upstairs bedroom was broken and would not close. I never heard back from Vacasa on these issues. We bought a coffee pot and left it at the house. Also, very limited kitchen towels and no wine opener. ##### Mandy b.

Mar 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Place to Visit We visited outside of the "busy season". That said, the house is nice and clean - and having waterfront was awesome! We tried fishing and crabbing from the dock with very little luck (1-crab). If I went back during warmer weather, I would either take or rent a boat (to take advantage of the opportunities this property has to offer). It's close enough to everything that the drive is not bad. It's far enough away that you will never feel "overrun". Very nice... ##### Anthony P.

Nov 9, 2021 #### Great location and views, needs upgrades Second Star has a fantastic sunset view west over the Pamlico Sound, a private dock, a boat launch ramp, an outdoor shower, comfortable indoor furnishings and a huge, well-appointed kitchen. The neighbors are great. The location for watersports, such as windsurfing and kiteboarding, is good. However, there is no under-house parking and very little storage. The driveway is not level and difficult to navigate when backing in. The walkway along the water has some loose boards, so be careful. The front door is not sheltered and rain pours off the roof onto your head while you're standing there fiddling with the keys and the doorknob. Inside, there are two nice bathrooms. Neither of them is en suite, even in the master. Sliding pocket doors throughout the house are a little tricky to deal with. Overall, the house is a good value, but management needs to fix the loose boards immediately. Long-term, the owners should think about releveling the driveway and maybe removing some of the over-engineered foundation timbers to make room for under-house parking, storage and an entrance sheltered from the weather. ##### Kevin D.

Can't do justice to watching the awesome sun sets over the sound from the rear deck. This is the pre-show to the beautiful stars! House includes dock, boat slip, AND private boat ramp for anyone wishing to bring their own boat and fish the sound. Caught tons of fish and crabs from the dock. Inside everything was clean and extremely comfortable. There is no pool but swimming off the dock is aways fun. ##### CHESTER T M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Cherokee-Hotels-Harrahs-Cherokee-Casino-Resort.h13319510.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Southern-Pines-Hotels-Pine-Needles-Lodge-Golf-Club.h2222358.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky OH](https://www.expedia.ca/Sandusky-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Sandusky-OH.h1183594.Hotel-Information) > > [Alpine Village Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Boone-Hotels-Alpine-Village-Inn.h9278686.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Resort Lumina on Wrightsville Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Wilmington-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Resort-Wrightsville-Beach.h15394.Hotel-Information)
