    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: It was my family, 6 adults & 3 kids. The house was extremely clean & with many extra curricular activities. Games, puzzles, pool table, air hockey etc.. Kitchen was loaded with all kinds off cooking gadgets. 2 refrigerators was really nice. Gas grill was fine but the charcoal grill was in rough shape. Need a new one. The pool was used alot, along with the kiddie pool. Hot tub some. The large dining table was really nice for family suppers. The basement was great for the adults after the kids were in bed. Summary,the best rental I have had since we started going to Carova over 15 years ago. Highly recommended for big families. Now. Carova Cottages & Laura. There is a reason why I always rent with them for the past few stays. Everything was in order, easy booking & always there when you need help. I had a vehicle problem which involved a replacement part by a mechanic at the house. Laura worked with me,calmed me down really,and I was able to get my truck repaired & gone before the next family came in. Laura went above & beyond to work with me through my difficult situation. Carova Cottages & Solstice by the Sea. Great combination!!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a wonderful experience! The house was clean and the amenities were incredible. There was a brief issue where they forgot to include towels upon check-in, but Laura hand delivered them to us within the hour. Exceptional service! The only real complaint I had was that the volleyball court needed some tlc. It was a bit overgrown. But that is just nitpicking. Will absolutely stay here again and I recommend it to anyone who wants to just get away!

Reviewer Comments: We love the Outer Banks and this house was perfect for our family of 12. Response to any questions were addressed immediately. Only problem is we couldn’t use horseshoes or volleyball because of so many sticky weeds. My Grandaughter ran out there with no shoes and had a ton of thorns in her feet. It needs attention.

They take care of any issues with common sense solutions. It's refreshing. The home was very clean. I have rented in OBX for many years and this is the first year we didn't reclean anything when we arrived. Overall great experience

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our home away from home! We’re always excited to arrive & always sad to leave. A beautiful, clean home that is well stocked and super convenient to the beach, just over the dune. The kitchen is equipped with everything you can think of, along with beach chairs, sand toys, canopies, and games for the rainy days that is also provided. We love sitting on the porches watching the horses in the yard, grilling out around the pool, and late nights playing pool or watching movies in the theatre room. The owner, as always, did an amazing job updating with new furniture, paint, décor and other home improvements. I look forward to more memories being made at the Solstice by the Sea with our family and friends! M. Anderson

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great vacation at Solstice by the Sea. After two years of missed vacations, it was so nice to finally get together again. The kids loved the heated pool. The adults continued on to the hot tub and then the sauna for complete and utter relaxation! Meals were easy in the well-stocked kitchen with room enough for plenty of chefs! The theater room was a big draw for the multiplayer gaming as well as some late-night movies! There were enough spaces for people to disappear if they needed some quiet, but level three is large enough for everyone to gather with ease. We took the two littles to the beach. The 2-year-old had never played in waves or seen sand crabs! The late OCT weather was still warm enough for splashing in the surf and finding treasures on the beach. We all agreed that Solstice by the Sea provided a GREAT vacation. We are already making plans for next year! :-)

    A family vacation full of memories! House was awesome and enough room for everyone to spread out. Well stocked kitchen with all the necessities. All the kids really enjoyed the game room and the pool! The wrap around deck was a favorite for everyone to search for the horses. Will definitely be back!!
