Dog-friendly home with ocean/sound views and private beach path

The vacation home accommodated our family well. It has all the basics, a short walk to the beach and the layout was perfect for 10 people.

We were very unsatisfied with this house. Check-in was delayed an hour due to cleaning but the cleaning was very insufficient. 1. Shower drain in primary bath full of hair and doesn’t drain 2. Shower floor in primary bath slick from slimy soap scum 3. Dirty dishes in cabinets 4. Ice maker doesn’t dispense 5. White dog hair everywhere especially stairs 6. Primary bedroom sheets do not smell clean 7. Dishwasher does not clean dishes 8. Third floor bathroom drain full of hair and does not drain 9. Balls of human hair in primary bathroom 10. Sand all over floor 11. Trash under bunk beds 12. No beach towels 13. Stove range panel dirty with food and crumbs 14. No soap in downstairs bathroom 15. Vent in third floor bathroom covered in black mold This is second property we’ve rented from Vacasa. Never again!!

Very unclean. Ill equipped kitchen. Terrible check in and out process.

We’ve stayed all over the island over the years, this house compares favorably to many at higher price points. A few little things keep it from perfection but it’s a great stay that we would do again. Location: Handy, easy beach access as stated Home: spacious. Could use a few more kitchen dishes but the appliances are all very nice and cooking there is easy. The elevator was a must since we have a limited mobility family member and it was great. Overall everything we cared about was as it should be, the home was clean, quiet and in a great spot.

The house was as described and very quiet.. Very convenient to beach and the community pool.

The house was beautiful and the beach was super close. It was an easy walk even with two toddlers. The community pool was nice too! We were initially staying in the Atlantic Beach area but had to move to Ocean Escape in Pine Knoll Shores after a storm. Sandy from Vacasa was super helpful and made the transition very smooth. The customer service was top notch!

This house was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. The kitchen and common areas are big and well functioning. The bedrooms are a great size and comfortable. The beach is so close! Our only issues were with the dishwasher and the dryer not working unfortunately for most of our stay. Once the appliances are addressed this house will be perfection! We did see some bugs but not on the first day, be sure to be diligent with the doors going in and out because the beautiful trees have lots of bugs in them.

The location of the home was perfect and quiet. Beautiful community. Pool was clean and relaxing short walk to beach and pool. As for the homes cleaning company didnt clean all dishes or some sheets. Had to sweep sand from floors on main level. Coffee pot had molded full coffee filter that had been there for wks maybe. The upstairs bathroom ceilings both had a lot of mold showing. Told management company its a major issue. Management company was good to deal with except no adress to send pics of mold to. Also there were 4 full bags of trash in garage and the trash pickup on Tuesday an s friday never came and laundry bag was out on front porch when we arrived annd no one came all wk to pickup. Overall the house worked and location was good. The house is a nice place just needs a lot of tlc

This house was a great size and layout for our family of eight people! The kitchen had everything we needed to make family dinners almost every night, and the walk from the beach was really easy and quick. We would definitely return!

The Great: Loved the location and spaciousness. Easy to access the beach, pools, tennis/pickleball, and basketball goals. 15 minute walk to the marina. Great spot with privacy, but close to Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle and their amenities. 25 minute drive to Beaufort. Couldn’t ask for a better location or the open floor plan on the main level for everyone to enjoy each others company. Highly recommend! The Not as Great: Although communicated by VACASA, ice maker in the freezer and dishwasher did not work properly for part/all of the week. Some updates to fixtures (sliding glass door blinds) and sliding glass doors themselves (rusting on tracks on 3rd floor), not easy to open. Driveway can be a bear for larger vehicles (Tahoe/Suburban size). All in all, very minor issues for the value and location, would highly recommend!
