    The house & layout are very nice. The kitchen and dining areas are stupendous. Pool & backyard are nice. The Sound's water behind the house was disappointing (dirty and poor odor). We had a few unwelcome burps (grill had been poorly maintained and not usable; upper-level A/C was non-functional upon arrival; and had a check-in snafu), however, the Owner/Property Manager was attentive and accommodating (replaced the grill the next day /w a new one; set up A/C servicing which was corrected by end of third day; and quickly resolved our check-in issue). Probably more a result of personal preferences and expectations, the overall rating for me is not great but certainly above average. Again, the Owner/Property Manager was great.

    We rented this property for our summer vacation with our family on our first trip to the Outer Banks. There were 11 of us included our parents, adult children, and grandchildren. The house was large and gave everyone their own room with plenty of space throughout the home. The outdoor areas were wonderful and we enjoyed the pool very much. The evenings on the dock were nice with the sunsets. The walkway behind the home made for nice bike rides in the evening. We were able to ride into the other neighborhood that had a bike/walking track that was great for a longer bike ride. The kitchen was wonderful and had everything we needed. There are two refrigerators which was a benefit. There was an additional full sized refrigerator in the basement kitchen area also. We did go to the beach several days, parking could be a challenge if you don't arrive early enough if you go to the area with bathrooms. One day we went to the public access directly across the highway from the neighborhood. We found a hidden parking area on the right as we approached the beach. There are no bathrooms but it was a convenient location. Everything in the home was wonderful. The interior of the home was clean and well maintained. I gave cleanliness 4 stars because the outdoor/screened porches were sandy and had not been swept by the cleaning crew. Carol was a wonderful host and was very responsive to any requests or questions. We have never had a better host offer such attention. We would stay again!!

    This home was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed every part of it from the large screen porches, game room with lots of seating and activities, to the well stocked open kitchen. The outdoor space and location were even better - the pool was great, several spent time on the dock reading and lounging, there's a great walking/bike path along the water, we had a nice happy hour in the backyard. There was plenty of great seating in every area. The location was great in general very central to drive to many things. Yet there were two great restaurants right at the entrance to the neighborhood which was an easy walk. We also utilized the bikes and biked to the beach and Kitty Hawk Museum. Carol was very responsive and helpful with everything we needed. We had a a seafood boil brought in one night and the person who prepared it said it was one of the best VRBOs she had seen for a family. You can't go wrong here you will love it.
