Sep 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 30th birthday I booked the house for my friend’s 30th birthday and we had a blast! The location was ideal, the property was clean. I loved that each bathroom was a good size and not cramped and the fact that the water got hot almost instantly when taking a shower and wasn’t impacted if we all took showers at the same time. The views were awesome. Definitely nice to wake up and see a beautiful sunrise from our decks. ##### McKenna S. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven S.

Nov 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean and Close to Everything This house was very clean. It's a lot closer to the ocean than described which was a pleasant surprise. All but one bedroom had a private bathroom - another perk. Close to Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, restaurants, bait shops and both grocery stores (FL and Conners). Only downfall was the lack of kitchen essentials - only 2 silicone potholders and low quality pots/pans. We made the best of it and came prepared after reading other reviews. Again, it was very clean which is a sticking point for me. ##### Kelly W. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Magdalena R.

House has the perfect layout for both privacy and togetherness for a family with a 4 bedroom needs. This is a rare house that allows 2 dogs, which we needed. Excellent location for fishing and all the necessities of shopping close by. We have vacationed in this house on two consecutive Thanksgiving weeks, and will always check on availability here first for future vacations.

We enjoyed nice long walks near the lighthouse and the ferry ride to Ocracoke Island. The house was clean and the management addressed any concerns quickly. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. ##### Constance G. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2021 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Ellie K.

Good location - although we expected their to be a beach out front and it was all sandbagged - it would have been nice to know that up front but there are lots of great beaches within driving distance. The kitchen could have been stoked with some additional equipment (we had to go out and buy a spatula) but overall we really enjoyed it and would stay there again. ##### Ellie K.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house and location were lovely. The office was closed for the week due to holidays but we did not have sheets for one of the beds making it unusable. We reached out to the phone number and email the office shared with us but no one contacted us. We tried 4-5 times hoping we could get a set of sheets and use the bed and be comfortable. There was also a tornado warning and severe weather one day but no one checked on us. I work in hospitality and we never shut down - never to customers. Someone is also there to ensure the guests are safe and comfortable. ##### Ummara M.

The accommodations were clean and comfortable with plenty of dining table surface and seating. Whether eating or relaxing watching TV. Just steps from the beach which also provided plenty of family space. Parking underneath to keep vehicles and fishing gear out of the sun and elements. Two decks to lounge on with a nice view of the beach. ##### Jennifer D. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbi H.
