Reviewer Comments: The house was the perfect size for our family, however, it could have been in better condition for the $. The pool was great, but for a house that sleeps this many, it should have been checked in the middle of the week as it was very cloudy due to how much an how many of us were using it every day.My biggest complaint was the elevator. Bryant called us a few days before our arrival to let us know that the elevator was not working and would not be fixed during our stay and asked if this was going to be a problem, when I said it was definitely an inconvenience they just were like, "Okay, let us know if you have any other concerns during your stay." I feel like we should have been offered some sort of discount since we did pay for a four story rental with an elevator. ##### Wendy I. ### 4/10 Poor #### Nicole W. Sep 30, 2020 Liked: Location Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy #### Not worth the money The rental process for this property did not end with the “confirmed booking” on this app. You will go through correspondence with a separate rental agency that makes you sign several pages of policies. No groups of any kind besides immediate family, which is pretty crazy for a house that sleeps 23 people. Very odd that not even church groups were allowed. The way money was spent in this house made no sense to any of us. White rugs and white cushions showed stains everywhere. Coffee maker was broken. Porch screen ripped and completely broken table outside. The exterior of the front of house is the most appealing part. Poor landscaping in the back leads to a very dirty deck and furniture near the pool. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anyone and do not plan to stay here again. The house had tons of potential but it was not put to use. ##### Nicole W. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Hansel T., Maryville Feb 6, 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Cheap and Shoddy Several balcony door locks broken or missing, Ice maker broken, one role of low quality TP per bathroom, No extra trash bags, floors were dirty, second hand repurposed furniture with rips and tears, no first aid kit, 14 page contract to fill out and send back, rigid rules with severe penalties ($300 for missing garage door opener) for check-in and check out. Really doesn't sleep as many as the website claims comfortably. We were going for a memorial service and I stated as much in the initial VRBO correspondence....but kept getting "Enjoy your Vacation!" emails. Email from property manager stated we need parking passes then I was told we didn't need parking passes at the office? I wanted a place where the family could gather and mourn without having to worry about insignificant things....however the tone set by the property manager's automatic emails and materials made everyone feel unwelcome and uneasy. In the beginning of the process, I chatted with a VRBO tech about the ridiculous contract and she was no help. ##### Hansel T. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Robyn P. Aug 29, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Hard Pass Let this be a warning that the property photos don’t represent the current condition of the home, which is exceptionally tired. Features & furnishings are broken, missing, torn, and/or dirty. On the upside, the location is fantastic, and for those traveling with a large group, the home was big enough, so it never seemed crowded. The pool was definitely a bonus. The following is a list of some of what we experienced. 1. The next-door neighbor is awful. On Saturday at 12:30 PM my guests, and I were enjoying the swimming pool. The neighbor continuously yelled profanity and kept screaming that this was “a neighborhood, not a party.” 2. Ants are a huge problem, and I don’t mean just a couple ants. Thousands of ants were in the sink, counters, and around the refrigerator. I even had ants crawling on me while sitting on the family room couch. 3. Upon arrival, none of the four TVs worked. Maintenance came and was able to get two of them working. BTW, the maintenance workers are fantastic! Huge shout out to David & Jason who quickly responded to all the repairs needed during our stay. 4. Nearly every piece of furniture was dirty, torn, or broken, and I’m not even exaggerating. 5. The carpet is stained beyond repair. 6. Some pots, pans and cooking utensils were missing. 7. There’s more, but I think you get it … ##### Robyn P.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very 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: LOVE LOVE LOVE this house and the location but it's apparent that it is probably rented 52 weeks a year as there is much that needs maintenance/touch up/repair. #1 NO ICEMAKER!! There are TWO refrigerators and neither one makes ice. We paid 16k for a week and we had to go buy bags of ice every day. #2 The beds are THE WORST. I think they bought them all at one of those cheap mattress outlets and chose the absolute lowest quality they could get. #3 the "screened" porch on the back overlooking the pool has huge sections of screen torn away so the bugs come and go with ease. #4 Two microwaves in the kitchen and only one worked. #5 the large TV in the kitchen was inoperable when we arrived (we never used the TVs really anyway) We called Bryant Real Estate to report all of the above upon Check in on Saturday and on Wednesday a repairman showed up unannounced. The repairman was super nice and was able to fix the TV but the busted microwave, lack of ice maker and other items were obviously not able to be dealt with at his level.The kitchen was well stocked with plates/pots/etc. The furniture was all very nice with the exception of the horrible beds. The pool was wonderful for when you come back from the beach. The walk to the beach was super easy, maybe 300 yards or so. We loved all of the outside decks. The one on the top level has a wonderful view of the ocean. Anyway, a house like this and for this price (16k/week) should have good beds and an ice-maker too. Honestly, this house was perfect for our family of 19 but every time I went to get bagged ice it just made me so angry and then everyone complained about how they slept on the terrible beds every morning on top of that. Anyway, if you can overlook the lack of ice and the terrible beds, this place is awesome. ##### Gar T.

Sep 30, 2022 #### Not a $$$ Exclusive Family Vacation Rental, OK for Frat Boys Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very 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 visited the home last spring and found it to be perfect for our Labor Day wkend which now included our son's marriage. Big enough for our immediate family and across from the beach w/ a POOL! We had special requirements for the home: elevator for our wheelchair bound nephew and senior parents. We knew it was broken but was assured it would be repaired before our vacation. Booking was quick and easy and they had our money in full by July 4th. We kept inquiring about the elevator w/ no reply until 1 week before our vacation when we were informed that the elevator would NOT be operational and that we had til the EOB to cancel the rental for a refund. Needless to say this was unacceptable and I called immediately to see what the agency/owner's would be able to do for our call back, no information, no alternative housing, no assistance in finding handicap facilities for our nephew/parents, etc...We had no choice but to continue w/ the rental and we were astounded with how worn, dirty, and unkempt the house was on our arrival. We couldn't walk on the carpets inside or out without shoes on, making a 2 yr olds vacation a battle. Unpacking there was no empty cabinets for the food we need for our group. Organization of the kitchen was haphazard at best making cooking time a chore. Morning 1 we had no hot water in half of the house...Apparently the solar powered water and Gas hot water heaters aren't talking to one another. To be fair, they sent a very helpful and pleasant repair man who confirmed my Dx and repaired the situation. There was no broom, vacuum, or blower to tidy up the deck so that became another chore. Dinner Day 1 was a Boil which we normally cook outside but the grill was cheap, rusted, dirty and best of all, barely operable (took 1 hr to cook a burger). No back up Propane tank in case you run out (it felt nearly empty but since we couldn't cook, we didn't use any more. The garage was a disaster w a good portion of it filled w/ ##### Keith K.

The vacation rental was very 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: Overall we had a great stay. Issues: Top floor shower did not drain well. Main level bathroom did not have a towel or toilet paper rack. Deck banister off the kitchen was loose. I called this in as a safety issue and it was not responded to. Issue w the biggest oven but it was addressed timely. Great location, great facility overall and having my 87 year old mom with us the elevator was a great asset. ##### Tom H.

Reviewer Comments: This home is very nice and spacious and well stocked with all the utensils, pots, and pans you would need to cook for a large family. The elevator is a great ADA accommodation. My only complaint is that the walls were dirty and the carpets could be cleaner. Overall the house was very clean and pleasant. The bathroom that accommodates the bunked room on the 3rd floor could use some TLC. ##### A guest from Raleigh, NC This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerald B.

Aug 4, 2021 #### Horrible unprofessional realtor Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very 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 toured the home in October before renting. The screens on the porch were torn badly and the furniture was moldy. We told the realtor and they said it would probably be fixed before July. It wasn't, rendering the porch unusable. Then, I personally returned an undamaged and functioning garage door opener to the realtor. They charged me $50 saying it was damaged with no proof or notice. We have rented homes up and down the NC coast for 20 years and I've never seen such a lack of professionalism. I would highly recommend renting thru someone else. The rental is listed on multiple sites. ##### Sharon K.

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: This propety has a wonderful location and great floor plan. I could give it 5 stars if only it were given some TLC. The walls need painting & the carpets need to be replaced (filthy). No ice in either frdige-had to buy our own everyday. Needs exterior maintenance too. Deck furniture a little lacking. Could be perfect though! This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly H. May 25, 2021 #### Exceeded our expectations 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: I rented Sparkie's Place for my team retreat. We were very pleased with the house, the location and the experience! The house was well-stocked, the pool was beautiful and clean, the beds were comfortable and the space was plentiful. I was honestly a little nervous about the house after reading some of the other reviews, but it ended up exceeding our expectations. Yes, there is some staining on the carpet and some walls are scuffed up, but that was totally inconsequential to our stay. We loved it!The kitchen is amazing and is the heart of this home. We had 10 people cooking and preparing meals and were very comfortable. Everything in the house worked and the house was very clean when we arrived. I would definitely book this house for my team again!The view of the sunset from the upper deck was amazing, the short walk to the beach, the firepit, hammock and outdoor shower were all great surprises, too. The kitchen is very well-stocked and there was enough room for 12+ vehicles. I couldn't have been happier with our stay at Sparkie's Place.
