Roundabout Resort - Kitty Hawk MP 3, Oceanside, 500 Yds to Beach, Pool, Hot Tub, Pets OK

Had to buy all new sheets, pillow cases, towels, wash cloths, dish towels ,toilet paper, dead flies all in the windows and dead bugs all over the floors the furniture was either torn and wore out and stained up

The house is very old and in need of updates/repair. The home was not clean. We found trash in dresser drawers, chewed gum on window sills and a dustpan full of dog hair stored in a closet. The air return vent was visably dirty, thick with debris. Grateful for the laundry so we could wash everything. The pool area is small and in poor condition. The home was to accomodate 12 people but the home and outdoor space was to small for all us. The wooden chairs on the patio were broken and gave splinters. The dining table under the paviollion had no cushions and the chipping paint stuck to your body every time you sat on the uncomfortable chairs. Lightbults were burnt out, sofa cushions stained and ripped. The rec room which does have a pool table does not have much more than that. The location was not ideal. You are right on the main road, N Croatan Hwy, so the traffic level is very loud and cars pull into the front of the house at high speeds. The beach is 'walking' distance and easy for an adult. It's a bit far for younger children. Our four kids were ages 4-7 and it was a bit of a haul for them. The yard is full of ant hills, cactus and burs so use extra caution wiith walking your dog in the yard. The play ground is in bad shape - there is a thick sticky residue all over the swing chains. Overall we were very disappointed in this home. It was small, dated, in need of repair, and not well cleaned. Would not recommend.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything worked out ok but the overall state of the place could be improved upon. The general cleanliness was ok, there were some stains on pillows etc and a lot of sand in the place but that's not unexpected. All together it worked out fine. Deck and pool area both need updated woodwork. Pool lights are on the fritz. Amenities in the kitchen, bathrooms, et were fine and there were no bugs inside.

Reviewer Comments: Requested grass to be cut on Monday so we could use the playground and volleyball net. Light in dining room had problems. I called again on Wed. to find out what was going on.They showed up Fri afternoon, and were told that the owners had to make arrangements for the grass to be cut. We were leaving the following morning. Mold and mildew in bathrooms.Previous experience here was wonderful in 2008. This time, it wasn't worth it. We couldn't fully use what we paid for. I could go on, but why bother.

The house has a great setup. There are 3 bedrooms and a full kitchen on each floor. The pool is a good size, but needs to be resurfaced. Deck boards and stairs have loose spots and all the boards should be replaced. Gas grill was not usable due to burners rusted out. There are 2 charcoal grills on the property and only 1 was usable due to the grates being rusted. These items were reported to the property management company (Beach Realty) through the app that was recommended. There was no response or repair. The location was great for us. Public Beach access is only a couple of blocks away and it is an easy walk. There are no hotels or public parking around, so the beach in this area was never crowded. The house is walking distance to Jimmy's Seafood, Shipwrecks, and Bad Bean Baja Grill. Be careful crossing the road to Shipwrecks and Bad Bean. I never had a problem, I just needed to be patient. Booking process was deceptive. After filling out the VRBO application and paying deposits, accidental damage insurance, linen fee, and travel insurance, Beach Realty sent a separate link and application. This application mirrored VRBO and asked about travel insurance. Beach Realty did not notify that their travel insurance was separate from VRBO, so I bought 2 policies. Beach Realty advised that VRBO does not relay travel insurance information to them. Even if this is true, they should have a notice on their application that this is separate from VRBO
