Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The indoor pool was the reason we chose this home and it was a big hit with everyone. Warm enough with temps in the 50s. The layout is great for everyone to gather or to have their own space. The kitchen is well equipped, but could use newer pots and pans. Crock pot came in handy. Two ovens, sinks and dishwashers in kitchen were very handy. First floor kitchen was handy with extra fridge. Separate ice maker would be handy if it worked. Carpets look new. Recliners in the 4th floor media room are worn and should be replaced. There’s a nice gathering area on the 2nd floor, but no TV there so it wasn’t used by our crowd. Most mattresses were comfortable but a few were not.

It stormed all week but we were able to enjoy the covered pool. We stayed at sister house Sea Spirit in 2021. Love the location, close enough to beach, and everything convenient to get to.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our group of 15 enjoyed the layout of By the Sea. Having a fenced in backyard area for the dogs was an added bonus. Covered pool area, another great addition to the property. Short walking distance, about 5 minutes to the public beach access was very convenient. Property was very clean and met our needs for everything we like to have for amenities. Great central location to plenty of restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores.Beach Realty was a great company to rent from.

The elevator was key for us to have my parents 65th anniversary celebration. They are 86 and my Dad absolutely needed the elevator. The bedrooms were very spacious and we loved everything the house had to offer.

The layout was spacious and gave us many different areas for hanging out. It's a short walk to the beach and having the covered pool was also helpful.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Good location for our family. Plenty of rooms for everyone. Nicely furnished and in good condition. The pool was great for the kids as was the fenced-in yard. Adequate parking for 8 cars. It's convenient to the beach (about a block away) and also to stores etc. Kitchen seemed a bit undersized however based on the number of people the house can accommodate, but we worked with it and it was fine.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall was good. Most of the beds were okay but the ones on the 4th floor were horrible. Felt like we were sleeping on a board. I woke up on the 2nd day in agony. I ended up having to go buy a mattress topper.
Property is spacious and clean. Suited our needs well. Definitely will be back
Sooo many bedrooms and bathrooms. Family of 18 stayed and we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Loved the two kitchens as well. Pool is awesome well. Short walk to the beach. Great views from the decks. Overall we loved the house.
Our family came to the OBX for a cousin reunion (all adult cousins, their partners and children) and rented this house for 4 days. The pros about this house: - It was large enough to comfortably accommodate our big family. - We loved the convenient location, just a short walk to the beach. - Easy access to some great sightseeing. The cons: - Two of the bunks were not made when we arrived - the mattress pads covered in hair and fuzz were an unpleasant sight upon arrival. - Pool area needed cleaning (pool deck was dirty and very much in need of a hosing down) and many sliding doors were stuck/rusted shut. - Extra pillows in closets did not have pillow cases on them or provided to put on. - For the amount we paid for this house, it would have been reasonable to provide more than one roll of toilet paper per bathroom (note that 2 of the bathrooms didn’t have even a roll in them) and a couple of trash bags. All in our group are well-traveled and have stayed in myriad vacation rentals - ALL of which provide toilet paper, dish liquid larger than a travel size bottle, dishwasher pods and trash bags. We had a wonderful time together as a family but the home was lacking. I’d give the home 3 stars and would not choose to stay here again.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented this house many times in the last 10 years. Nice upgrades with furniture inside and outside. It's a very roomy house which is nice because we have a big crowd every year. That being said, the kitchen refrigerator was totally unacceptable...a small side-by-side that doesn't fit that much food (and we bring a lot so that we can save money shopping at home and so we don't have to spend our beach time at the grocery store), and there was only 1 shelf in door which meant that all our small items/condiments had to go in the main section of which there was already little room. Also, the one drawer is broken and every time we pulled it out it was a mess. Very frustrating to not have an appropriate size refrigerator to accommodate so many people. We had to go up and down 2 flights of stairs to get what we needed to prepare meals. We also could not use our devices in our bedrooms or out in the pool area because the WiFi did not work anywhere except in the living area. Also very frustrating, especially for those who work remotely and needed to periodically check in. The house was pretty clean, but there was a glob of hair on my shower wall and the mirror was a mess. We had to call to get the right number of towel packs and bath mats, which the staff provided in a timely manner. The covered pool is great, but none of the lights or moving parts work, plus it really needs a good power wash...the corners are pretty gross...but the furniture is nice. Our mattress in the second floor master next to the kitchen creaked every time we moved and I would suggest ceiling fans in all the rooms. After the poor refrigerator and WiFi for a house that sleeps 25, we decided to look for a different house. When we learned that the cost for this house went up a whopping $7,000 from what we paid this past year, it was a no brainer. We found an oceanfront house for 2023 for much less that checks all the boxes and more....
