Waterfront home with ocean views, private pool & hot tub

Loved the spaciousness and location.

Location

We have stayed at this home several times before and rebook because of its large size which comfortably sleeps our ever growing family. It is close to the beach which has bathrooms and showers, or a bit further down is beach access with tidal pools for kids. The house is well equipped with plenty of cook wear and implements, the gathering areas are spacious, comfortable and accommodates everyone easily. The pool and hot tub are very nice with plenty of loungers.

This would have been 5 stars if the place wasn't so dirty & run down .We had to wash every dish & pan before we used them as well as the fridge ,stove & microwave. The floors in the game room were so filthy that you had to wear socks in them and we found a pile of toenail clippings on the couch. The views were breathtaking and made up for the fact that if you looked down you saw garbage off of every balcony that was made up of tossed cigarette butts, bear cans and such. It's obvious that housekeeping comes & does a basic check and replaces linens but not much more. Most of TVs & appliances are hanging on their last legs and need to be replaced as more than half did not work. In my opinion if you are charging that much for a home listed with so many amenities then you should see to it that the home is clean and the amenities work. All that said it's impossible to have a bad time there as the views are spectacular and the town offers much to do.

I first want to mention how WONDERFUL Robert with Vacasa is. He was very helpful and always available to answer any questions. I would highly recommend Vacasa. The house was perfect for my family. We had exactly 14 people and it accommodated us nicely. We loved the very private setting and sound front for kayaking. The only complaint would be the quality of the mattresses...they could use a little updating.

The house was fine, but arriving Saturday night to not hot water or the ability to cook what a brutal start. Propane tank for the house was empty and nothing was open on Sunday, so it wasn’t filled until mid-morning on Monday. That’s rough with 7 people in the house.

The house is pretty spectacular. Beautiful sound views, enjoyed the dock, and the pool area is one of the best we have had. The home does need some attention however. Mattresses in all bedroom need to be replaced. We never got to enjoy the theater room because the TV did not work. The railing in the top level deck needs repairing (loose). Carpeting in bedrooms could use an update (Stains). I hope that VACASA works out the kinks in the check in process. It was very confusing, even for someone who has been visiting the outer banks for over 30 years. Also, need to have a local contact number, not one overseas.

This house had everything! Pool, hot tub, private dock, large dining area and kitchen. Our family had a wonderful time and made some great lasting memories. Would've given five stars but pool needed maintenance but it took two days to get someone out there and the pool was a mainstay of activity. Since this home is so beautiful, they should spend a little on some upkeep like blinds as an option for the main level, the floors can use a little tlc and the carpet has to be redone. Some small touches would make this an absolute shining star in the OBX.

The sunsets were absolutely stunning. The house and amenities were good, TV's were good but bedroom units may be a little small. The pool was great and some family members used kayaks for fishing, crabbing, and recreation. Public ocean access was nearby. Coming back next year.

This house was amazing on our family vacation. The house is spacious and everyone has their own bathroom. The elevator comes in handy for the elderly and getting heavy luggage to the upper levels. The pool and hot tub worked great definitely glad we got it heated. The dock worked amazing for kayaks as well as our 16ft Skiff bring your own ropes and fender guards. The water in front of the dock is 1-2ft, so it is accessible with a small Skiff. The closest boat ramp that you can use it the Scotch Bonnet. It's $10 to use the ramp, and is about a 2-3 mile drive on the water. The sound is super shallow so a boat with a jackplate is ideal. The fishing is great out in the sound and around the mouth of the canal. Ultimately we had a great time swimming, hot tubing, fishing, boating, kayaking, and cooking out by the pool. This house doesn't really give you many reasons to leave the house. Also with the sunset view you get from the back deck, you will definitely want to be there when the sun goes down.
