KD117- 3 BRs, 2 BA, 150 Yards to Direct Beach Access. Crow’s Nest & Wifi!

This was the perfect little beach house for our family. Very clean and soooooooo close to the beach...an easy walk for all of us, even with chairs. Decks are perfect to enjoying the beach breezes, and the laundry room was a welcome addition to help us minimize our packing lists. I would highly recommend this rental for groups of 4-6 people!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very busy road in front of property. If u are looking for peace and quiet this is not it. Beds were ok comfort wise. Outside of home looks nice, inside needs some updating. If you are looking to cook meals you better start early. Stove one burner did not work, took over an hour to boil a pasta pot of water. Kitchen needs updated, boards under sink and dishwasher falling apart dirty. Silver ware drawer dirty. Black dog hair every where in home. Couches had some stains. Just overall not impressed.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The water filter was disgusting and broke. The keurig was filled with rust. The ceiling was peeling. It was good for a low cost rental but wouldn’t return. The agency was lacking in communication and never retrurned calls until days after. We requested linens prior to arrival and no return call until a day after checking in.

Great parts of property: -Location is walkable to beach with bathrooms. This accessible beach was great for bringing a wagon. -House has cold AC, nice deck with outdoor furniture -Plenty of couches for relaxing -Washer/Dryer is always a perk -2 full baths and outdoor shower -Space for a family Things that are still true from past reviews that were not addressed: -Nail sticking up in master bedroom floor -Dog hair on throw pillows, rug, washer/dryer area (more bothersome because property is listed as pet free) -There are no longer bunk beds as pictured, now two twins, tiny dresser and one blocks the closet. Other notes about layout, etc -Laundry & extra fridge are ground level room and have access from outside only (bring a laundry basket). -To enter the property it is the stairs on the side. Prepare to be outside for unloading. -The tan recliners, when reclined, hit the blinds and the coffee table... could use a rearrange. -Master has folding doors so not a ton of privacy. -Towels are not provided for free. -Typical weekly rental property where you bring all paper products Other details that would make this 10/10: -Microwave turntable was replaced with wrong size and does not turn freely -Screen door missing closing mechanism -All but one non stick pan in rough condition. We bought a plastic spatula as there were only metal ones. -No cable working in twin room This review is not meant to discourage, just to set expectations. I also left feedback to Carolina Shores.

The location and overall stay was great. My only knock on the property is that the laundry room isnt a part of the main house but instead downstairs in the parking area. You have a window of 1hr between 4pm checkin and when the property management company closes at 5PM. They did however work with me to get the code to the property. I would suggest allowing checkin to be more seamless. There is no bunk beds therefore the listing needs to be updated. Overall, we had a good experience outside those minor inconveniences.

My family and I stayed in the house for 2 weeks. Some of the house needs updated. I had called regarding the linen box from the previous guests had not been picked up. It never was and there wasn’t enough room for our linens and towels. There was a nail sticking up in Master bedroom. The doors for the Master Bedroom are shutters and cannot block sound. There were 3 hornets nest that were not dealt with. Otherwise, the house served its purpose. I believe we will find another property for next year.

Sand and dirt in all the carpets. There was a ton of sand in the master bathroom. Dust on all the shelving and coffee table. The house is a pet free house but there was def dog hair on everything. When I called the rental office they didn’t do anything about it. We spent our first day of vacation cleaning the house to our comfort level. The pictures on the web site also show bunk beds so we planned for that and they did not have them. Making the room much smaller.

Absolutely loved this house! It was the perfect size for all 5 of us and super close to the beach. One of my favorite properties I have ever stayed at in OBX. Cute little quaint house with everything you need. My only complaint was the cleanliness, I assume the family that stayed before us had a dog because the whole house was covered in dog hair. That doesn’t reflect how amazing this house was though. Sometimes that happens so it was no big deal, the property management had someone come by and clean the house up immediately. So I give this place a 11/10!!

Excellent location!!! One block to beach access and a great store at the corner to grab any snacks, liquor, beach items needed. Great amount of space for 7 of us. Large table for games and meals. Enough couches for all. Working kitchen with adequate dishes/cookware. Outdoor shower was awesome. Cute decor. Ceiling fans and AC were great keeping us cool during a heat advisory. A-frame style was beautiful, open, and spacious. Loved what the owners had done. Complaints/issues are with the property management/rental agency. A big downside was poor cleaning. There was pet hair all over the bedroom floor; all over one bed and between the bed sheets of what management assured me was fresh, cleanly made-up bed; next to, behind, and under side tables and couches in the living room; and inside the washing machine! Check-in was a pain. We had to drive 20 minutes (traffic is slow in the summer on OBX) past the property to the rental agency to receive a piece of paper with our keyless code on it. Email, phone, or text would have worked better. Attempts to “contact the host” via email through VRBO were unsuccessful. Once I had booked, they stopped responding to questions. The rental agency called multiple times to ask permission to process card on file for final balance, threatening to cancel reservation. Each time, I approved it but they didn’t charge it. It took three phone calls before it was finalized.
