The Sandcastle By The Sea: Spa, Shared Pool

Upon arrival, which was an easy check in process, the home was surface clean ready. The entire house needs a deep clean as we had cockroaches crawling out of places everyday and had an ant problem in the kitchen. Kitchen faucet leaked since we arrived and was apparently ‘fixed’ on day 3 or 4 but it continued to leak. Nothing was done about the ants or cockroaches so we went and bought Zevo spray and aunt traps. Bathrooms were only wiped down as when I used Clorox wipes to clean more, they were full of dirt and grime. Couch and chair in living room does need a deep clean as they look horribly dirty or replace them. We put blankets from the space beds we didn’t use to cover the furniture so we felt ok sitting on them. Bedding needs some repair as well. Neither of the two blenders in the house work so we went and bought our own for the week. The house has a great ice maker machine which was awesome! Pool was easy to get to but most chairs are broken but tolerable to sit in. Beach was great! Grill on the property needs to be fixed as well as the handle to get the lid on and off is broken. We have been coming to OBX for over 25 plus years and this was one of the dirtiest houses and not well maintained we have been in. We won’t be back.

Convenience of location to the beach and local shopping. A terrific home layout,

Advertised as available but it was closed.

Pool was closed but a lot of shops were still open this time of year

Very happy with the rental but I was not aware that sheets and towels would be provided so I brought my own.Also, one of the towel racks in a bathroom was not securely fastened to the wall and could not be used

.

The house was beautiful and clean and had everything we could need. It was easy to get to and in the perfect location with shops and attractions within a quick drive, and the beach just a 1-2 minute walk away. Instructions to access the home and for checkout were clear and easy to follow. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had a great time!

This location was perfect for our stay. We were just a short 3 minute walk to public beach (across two lane road) with partial ocean views from our balcony. All local shopping is right there. I would recommend this place to others

The house itself was nice with a great location. Was plenty of space and seating available at the house. The beds in the primaries were too firm for our preferences.

We were in this property and plan to visit again in 2023. The location and cleanliness was very nice. This property had everything for all age groups be it board games for kids to beds sheets etc.
