Do not use VRBO and Do NOT stay at this property. The layout of the house is great but it has major flaws; rotten floors that have been covered with LVP and an inefficient HVAC system that was ignored and masked with poorly installed window units on the third floor. When it rained, water POURED in from the window units and seeped into an electrical outlet. It was a serious hazard and the property manager didn’t seem to care for hours. To top it off, the property manager, Surf or Sound, called to tell me I hadn’t paid the fees for our two dogs so they charged my debit card. This is after departing. I emailed them the paid bill that showed “additional charges” which I assumed were the dog charges. They said that had to be a VRBO charge because the pet fees weren’t included in my original payment even though I disclosed two pets when deciding to rent the house. I will never use VRBO or stay at a Surf or Sound property again. Additionally, the owner of this property is just an investor looking for rental income that is essentially negligible to him. We looked him up on GIS and spoke to him.
House was nice and very big, but pictures on listing were taken a long time ago. Noticeable wear and tear on this place. Pool and hot tub are great. Great location for riding bikes
Overall we were pleased. Some furniture and appliance were either broken or suboptimal. There were not enough kitchen utensils. The pool and hot tub were great. The plumbing in the house was prone to clogging even with just fluid or a small amount toilet paper. The garbage disposal was broken.
Awesome
Tell the next renter’s you don’t have access to the water from the subdivision. The pier is closed at Avon!
Please a been completely updated. Pool was great and the rooms very comfortable.
Where do I start? The Sea Creature really has a lot of potential. Is was really sad that the online pictures are somewhat deceptive. The bedroom were ok, but new new mattresses. The living room is spacious, but the couch was torn and dirty. The carpets were filthy, and your feet stayed dirty. The ceiling in one bedroom needed a little repairing. Definitely need a new coffee maker. The sad part is you change those little things, and the house would get an A+ rating
Great location and value. Just what we needed.
We wish we understood how many steps were involved. We had ants in the kitchen, the fridge does not get cold, the grill is very dirty, and the dryer does not work. However, this house is nice. We had a lovely vacation.
Awesome place out of the way of the more populated places in obx. Would’ve liked to see more game room space, but overall had a fun relaxing vacation.
