Wine Down at SandCastle, 5 Bedroom Luxury Home w/ Private Pool

Overall we had a great time! The floor plan worked out perfect for our family. The pool, the pool table, and the shuffle board table was a huge plus especially for the rainy days. Convenient to the grocery store and restaurants. Close enough to walk to the beach access. The house could have been cleaner, the outdoor area needs cleaned up. The bed in the Master was very loud and very uncomfortable. One of the bathrooms wasn’t clean upon arrival, there were dead bugs on the window ledges, we found a cockroach on the third floor, and one of the kids had spider bites from the bunk room. The outdoor area had poison ivy coming through the fence, weeds and pine needles in areas. Also, the gas tank with the grill was practically empty.

For the most part enjoyed our stay, but when we arrived the house was poorly cleaned, the back patio had used cigarettes/cigars/vape cartridges scattered around as well as a number of exposed screws coming out of the fence/outdoor shower area. A lot of hazards to have around our young kids led to a concerning start. There were blood stains on bed liners and pillow cases. Many of the soap/shampoo dispensers were empty. Kees was accessible but not very responsive given the amount of issues we had. They sent a maintenance guy the following day and we had to wait around the house all day for housekeeping to come because they couldn’t give us an ETA. Overall ok property but it is clearly poorly maintained by Kees. Do your homework before booking through Kees.

We enjoyed our early summer vacation!

The house needs updating, echoing a previous reviewer. Our major concern was the abundance of dead water bugs (cockroaches) and spiders, highlighting inadequate cleanliness. Water bugs are prevalent in North Carolina, causing discomfort for those unfamiliar with them. Around 4:30 pm, we contacted maintenance, uncertain if help would come due to the late hour and office closing at 5 pm. Taking matters into our own hands, we meticulously cleaned, surprised when a cleaner arrived. They cleaned the master room and living area, finding another water bug. After this, we could enjoy our vacation. The location was convenient, close to stores and an Outback Steakhouse, though the food quality disappointed. The pool was well-maintained, but the grill needed cleaning. Presuming routine pest control, we recommend a pre-check-in inspection for future guests. Had we not encountered the distressing sight of dead bugs, we would have seriously considered booking this place again. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our time at OBX!

This home is beautiful and the neighborhood is just right for a family with teens. However, the property is poorly maintained. We found the home in poor condition. Cigarette butts throughout the property, stains throughout the walls of the home, mold on bathroom tile in master bathroom, used coffe filters still in coffee machine, crumbs and hair on the floor, and weeds and garbage near pool. Management did not get back to me right away wit my concerns. Very disappointing but we still made the best of it. Hope they get their act together with maintaining this beautiful home.

Overall, nice property. You can't see the beach, but you can smell it; nice to sit on the balcony in the morning and drink your coffee. I only rated my check in process as a 3 because I had some issues on arrival, but once it was sorted out, it was smooth. Would stay again!

Upon checkin there was garbage all over the house, dirty linens in every room, and blood on mattress covers. The pool was green and the bottom was covered in dirt. The sides of the yard had garbage all over and cigarette buds.

We had a great time at this property. It was a convenient location, close to the beach and to the grocery store. The whole family had fun, especially with the pool table and the pool outside. I would stay here again.

We had an excellent vacation at this property. The pool was clean and the interior of the property was spotless. Outside of the fencing and near the garbage pickup there was garbage left over by previous tenants. Sometimes a smell would waft over from the water treatment facility nearby but that only happened twice. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect and there is a food lion and other shopping within walking distance.
