Looking Glass - Nags Head MP 12, Oceanfront, Ocean View, Pool, Hot Tub, Pets OK, Flex Stays

Arrived Sat evening. Could smell the mold as we entered the house. Dehumidifier with full bucket and humidity at 82% and small fans running in every bedroom. Immediately informed company of smell and dampness. Was told a “work order” was started. Told them we may have to leave as could not stay. Tried to sleep in least smelly room. Woke and husband had allergic reaction swelling of the face. Found black mold in the AC registers and in wood in bedroom. Packed up and left before 10. Told the company. Asked for any sort of consideration of refund, zero response. Do not stay here, house is uninhabitable and company had horrible response. Also at main entry no deadbolt, door was easily popped open. I have pictures to support.

Check in was great. Close to the beach and pet friendly. The pool was nice. It was cold and when we called, they thought it may be able to be heated for 300-400, but weren’t sure. The hot tub quit working and did not get repaired during our stay, even though we called immediately. Kitchen was well stocked. Our real issue was with the cleanliness of the house. The oven had liquid spillage in the bottom, fridge smelled like bleach, second floor carpet was soggy (they had a dehumidifier on that level, so a known issue.) and the table and counter tops had crumbs and food and hadn’t been wiped down from the previous guests. Bathrooms were all clean though. Also much of the furniture had not had a cloth touch anything but the top surface in years. A good deep clean at this property would benefit it tremendously.

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: We were very happy with our first OBX beach rental. Beach Realty could not have been more thorough and easy to communicate with. This house was perfect for our group. We did not use the bunk room - but if there were children, you should consider this property!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Roaches! YUCKFor a five BR rental, a 3.5 qt dutch oven is NOT adequate as the largest pot. Upgrade your cookware, please.Pool is small and NOT the one pictured adjacent to the house. The pool is actually not in the listing main picture since it is next to the road in front of the house. Carpets smelled like pets (to be expected with a pet-friendly rental) but maybe do a steam vac occasionally to remove smell. Better yet, replace carpeted rooms with hardwood.All negatives aside, the location is EXCELLENT. Convenient to town, grocery, restaurants. The views are fantastic!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is perfect. Restaurants, shopping, grocery stores are all in very close proximity. The beach access is awesome, being only 75 yards from the ocean! The house has everything you need for a week of vacation. The floorplan is typical for the Outer Banks. The house is dated. The exterior needs attention, carpets are old, the living room furniture is nearing the end of its useful life. Some of the mattresses need replacing and the bathrooms are very dated. We had a very strong pet odor in the house, but a can of Febreze took care of that. The kitchen is very nice, well-lit and perfect for the typical family gathering while cooking. The pool is enclosed in a privacy fence and offers a great respite from a day at the beach. The hot tub is great, and there is a nice bathroom and shower in the pool house. It's a great property that could be exceptional with an investment in updates and renovations.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the house and it was great to be right on the beach. Also easy access to local attractions such as mini golf, Jockey Ridge and Wright Brothers national park. There are a lot of nearby restaurants. We enjoyed Millers and Mulligans. I was disappointed that there were a number of maintenance issues that would be relatively easy to correct that had not been addressed. Such as- Burnt out bulbs, florescent lights in kitchen barely worked, switch for pool lights is broken. one jet control knob on hot tub is missing, jets on master suite Jacuzzi tub don't work at all. AC seemed to be relatively new and worked well. Separate unit for each floor.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This beachfront home offered a perfect balance of privacy and accessibility, making it convenient to grab last minute items. The public access nearby made it easy for friends to join us on the beach. The comfortable beds and clean rooms were appreciated, although some rooms could benefit from updates to cabinets, dressers, and fixtures. The well-equipped kitchen and family room provided ample space for gatherings, and the pool area with its amenities was a great place to relax. However, the challenge with the deeply covered sandy walkway to the beach, particularly for those with knee issues, is worth noting for future guests. Nevertheless, the exceptional service from Susan, Whitney, Terry, and Tiffany added to the overall positive experience. We will consider staying at Looking Glass again in the future and would recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in this location.

The house, with its own pool, could not have been more accommodating for our group.
