Guest Review: Wonderful! Fantastic family venue! For our first ever beach house rental with kids and grandkids, it turns out we picked a feature-packed rental home. The living and sleeping areas are incredibly spacious and well-planned for multi-family use. The open, well-lit kitchen had plenty of high-quality dishes, cookware and utensils, and the unadvertised extra pantry with 2nd refrigerator was a welcome surprise for the cooks! We made good use of the huge dining table for family board games, and when we entertained visiting relatives from Ohio there was plenty of room for a total of 21 people for dinner. The grandkids enjoyed the game room, and they loved the large pool! There are multiple back decks with good views of the pool below and of the ocean with lifeguarded beach near Jennette's Pier, just a short walk away. (The pier is open for night-fishing, and our dads and sons took the opportunity to make a memory by catching a skate!) A favorite family highlight was watching a spectacular lightning storm over the sound from the front deck off the dining room. We appreciated the personal contact with the owner, both through the rental process and in meeting our needs during our visit. We would definitely rent this house again.

Reviewer Comments: The house was clean, spacious, great views of the sound especially at sunset and you can see the ocean. The pool and hot tub were a treat for the kids. There were only two downsides. We were pretty much right on the main highway, but at least the house is on a culdesac. And we weren’t able to check in until 6:30. But it was a fantastic stay and we would definitely rent here again!

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The T.V. did not work. After two visits from maintenance guys, it still didn't work. Wifi is located on the first floor. The main living area is on the third floor. The Wifi does not reach up there. So no T.V. or any Wifi usage for devices.

We do a lot of cooking so the 2 refrigerators were a definite plus. Beach Realty was very responsive and helpful which we appreciated.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our first trip to the Outer Banks and we had a great time with our kids and grandsons. Location was great with groceries, ice cream and fish market within walking distance. Beach and pier just a short walk, pool and hot tub, rec room with pool and foosball tables were very welcome. Enough dining space for all 10, plenty of bed and bath rooms. So much to do and see with only short rides to access. Property was clean and well appointed. Two refrigerator/freezers was real bonus! Staff was responsive and communicated well. When arriving, we missed the turnoff twice, so perhaps a sign at the entrance from the highway would help. Teenagers soaked up a lot of wifi - perhaps a second channel? Overall, was a wonderful place to stay. Thank you!

    Location was great. Short walking distance to beach, ice cream shop, restaurants, Tanger Mall. House is essentially on the highway, but some reviewers commented about how loud it was. We had no problem what so ever sleeping. Sitting in front deck at times was loud, but there are several decks to this home. Pool is great; plenty of space inside. Comfortable beds. House was clean enough, but it needs a DEEP clean: baseboards, some furniture, around door handles, etc. TV in master bedroom never worked. Called maintenance on Monday, didn’t show up until Thursday. TV in living room is way too small for the size of the room.
