Dog-friendly oceanfront home with private outdoor pool, hot tub & central AC

The house itself was beautiful, we had a pleasant time, the only downside was the house not being cleaned. We had to sweep and wash the dishes, other than that we had a really good time.

The location was perfect for our family vacation. Some family members this was their first time to the Outer Banks. Everyone had a blast!! House was great, just as the website described. The property was right on the beach. The property did need some repairs on the outer decks. Property management company was very responsive and friendly.

Despite my disappointment we still had a great family vacation, the views of the sunrise were amazing.

We were very excited to stay at this home and immediately disappointed upon our arrival. Some TLC from the owners would go a long way. We escalated our concerns the first day and still have not heard back on a resolution to the numerous safety and cleanliness concerns we shared. This home could be amazing if it were maintained and managed properly.

Excellent house. Well equipped, even for dogs too! We enjoyed our time at Rise n' Shine 164, even though we lost wi-fi halfway through our stay.

Overall the location to the beach is nice. The house is in fair condition with some small issues that others might not notice (paint chipping, shower faucets aren’t great, some various junk around the pool, floors creaking). This is our first time staying in Waves, NC and we won’t again. We enjoy going out to restaurants and such and it’s relatively limited in the area. Essentially a 20-30 min drive north or south to expand options.

Our stay was lovely. We were a family of 9 with 2 dogs and there was plenty of space. The views from the beach were awesome and it was very private even though there is a campground next door. There were a few negative reviews after we booked our vacation last year which had us concerned but we were extremely happy with the Vacasa staff and their reassurance that the house would be clean and presentable for our trip. Sure enough, the house was clean, well kept, and clearly cared for. We had a few minor issues during our stay and the Vacasa team was very prompt in getting back to us and handling the issues. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for a week of eating at home. The bathrooms were clean. The linens were fresh, the furniture was comfortable, and the layout was awesome (although be prepared for lots of steps if you plan to come in and out of the home frequently - the kitchen, primary suite and living room are on the 3rd floor). We would highly recommend this house for any family looking for a quiet and relaxing stay in Waves!

We had a great long weekend stay with friends and family in this spacious home. Visiting this area in the off season is very quiet and remote. We had the beach to ourself most mornings for sunrise and enjoyed happy hour around the pool table and hot tub. There was plenty of seating and entertainment room on the top floor and the large kitchen made group dinners very easy. We’ll definitely be back again.

I loved the location of this house, it was on the ocean. The layout was great for a larger group. The beds were comfortable and each bedroom has its own bathroom. Access was easy with the keyless entry. The sunrises were amazing from our balcony. If you want a beautiful place to stay, this is it.
