Mare Vista #8-A: Oceanfront home w/hot tub & infinity pool

For the cost of our stay and the problems that occurred, it was not worth it! We were charged an extra 1000 ( assuming to ensure that our needs were met) to reserve this rental and had to have VACASA out there 4 times. Now, we have rented numerous times and have never had issues especially when you pay this much money! 1.The remotes did not work in bedroom 3 - had to come out 2 times for this2.You had to have a algorithm to work the remotes3. The drain in another bedroom was clogged.4.The pool stopped circulating on the 1st of the 3 hottest days we were there.5. Having someone respond in a manner of a 10,500 plus rental was RIDICULOUS!I have never left a bad review BUT I have never had an experience like this especially paying this much money.

Our family vacation in this home was very enjoyable. It is beautifully decorated and with 5 levels it is quite spacious. Since it is a multi-level house, it is not suited for anyone with mobility issues. Climbing up and down the stairs is a good cardio workout! This also applies to going to and from the beach. Traversing over the sand dunes while carrying a load of beach gear can be a challenge. We enjoyed flying kites, fishing and walking along the shoreline. The beach wasn't crowded at all. This house is very close to Food Lion, restaurants, gas stations, mini-golf and gift shops. This rental is well equipped with everything you would need. We do suggest bringing extra kitchen towels. There was only one towel which definitely isn't enough for a week's stay. Overall, our family had a wonderful time and made some very special memories!

This house was just the right size for 9 adults and two children. We stayed in the first week of October, most business and restaurants were still open at enough capacity to support us. The house was very clean. The bare essential items were provided - towels, bedding, dish soap, a few trash bags, cookware, etc. Ocean-side beach access was phenomenal, the pool and hot tub were well maintained and clean. Some beach chairs and boogie boards were a great to have as provided amenities. Pictures and 3D tour of the home on the Vacasa App were very accurate and the app was seamless. Would highly recommend this house, and the Vacasa management company for Avon area vacations.

House was terrific… great location. Only word of caution is that neither the home nor its beach access is hospitable to those with mobility issues.

the house was good for the family, had plenty of space and bedrooms. It does need some attention to the outside pool area and decks

We had our annual family vacay in this beautiful house. You can hear the surf from any deck of the house and the views are AMAZING from the upper decks. Our family really enjoyed the location and layout of the house. The only thing to be aware of is the amount of stairs. They were not bad but you def have to use them to go anywhere. The rooms are large and the beds were sturdy. All of the furniture is in good shape. The pool got some shade in the afternoon, which was wonderful.

Our family trip has been to experience new places and OBX did not disappoint. The house was great, all food shopping is very convenient, very nice grocery store within 1-2 miles. Lots of dining and entertainment options also close. We had 3 small children, 9, 6, 4. The beach was a hit for 1 family. The pool and hot tub were a huge success for everyone. Plenty of outsde seating. Bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms + 2 powder rooms was so nice, no one had to be waiting. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes and pot and pans. The game room was also used by several family members. Balconies and views were wonderful. The house has lots of steps because of 5 floors, but the descrption tells you the levels. Our oldest family member was 71 and no complaints. Several family members were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphin in the ocean from the 3rd floor kitchen area, very exciting for the kiddos. My only suggestion would be an outside grill, our family likes grilling. Only glitch we did not have enough bath towels for each family guest. I contacted the manager and were told where we could go to pick up more towels. Also close by. The house does need some TLC third floor shows rain leaks on ceiling. We experienced a pretty intense rain while there and rain leaked in around windows on north wall enough for us to be soaking up with towels. Some wiring is questionable.

Awesome house, location, amenities. Pool and hot tub were great. Only complaint (very minor) the mattresses are hard. We had a Great time here!

Location as high dunes you have to walk over.

My family of 11, ages 12-68, had a great time here & would recommend it to people that are in very good shape. The house is as pictured so realize there are LOTS of stairs to climb all the time. Our biggest negative was the degree of difficulty to get to the beach. It is very difficult to climb all 35 stairs with all your beach gear, then get up and over the sand dune where there are no stairs to help. The way back is worse as it is confusing as to which opening in the dune belongs to the house, we ended up at the wrong house several times and had to go back and find the right path, so bring something to mark your way! This difficult trek made it impossible for several of us to go back and forth to the beach every day so we relied on the pool, which was wonderful but we came for the beach walks in the morning and night and all day long. The good points were the large amount of space the house has and the bedroom sizes are nice. Baths in the bedrooms were nice but need grab bars outside the tub for safety, I fell in and out a few times as I am older and short. Ideally they should make them into nice showers instead as the jetted tubs are very high to climb into. Many of the doors on the house do not lock, the most important one is the front door!! Also the theater door locks you in and you need someone to let you out, needs a new handle with no lock on it. Big issue was the carpets, the nail strips holding them down are not done correctly and we stepped on the tacs many times,
