We had a great time! The communication with the host was very good and were quick to respond anytime we had a question. The home accommodated our family's needs quite nicely. The A/C worked very well in the very warm temps. I would emphasize the required 4X4 vehicle needed to get this property. I do think some general updating could be done to the entire home but nothing that would hold me back from renting again.
For the 2nd straight year we stayed at out of the blue. It was my wife, 2 daughters, their husbands, 3 grandchildren, their 2 Nannieâs and my 17 yr old son.Great home, just didnât want to come home after our week stay. Wonderful hosts.
The home is beautiful, well decorated and in a great location. And although it is located one row of houses back from the water, you can still see the ocean waves and sunrise from the upper deck.
The horses visited almost daily. And we drove our Jeep around many times to see others. The beach was spectacular! We drove it end to end many times. High tide was a bit sketchy at times, but we did fine considering that check in and check out both occurred at high tide.
We spent many evenings enjoying the hot tub and playing cards in the screened porch. It was so quiet and on clear nights, you could see every star in the sky! Thank you to the owners for leaving the pool open longer for us to enjoy.
We did have a few minor issues, and the owner was quick to respond. Nothing big enough that couldnât wait.
My only recommendation would be to bring a few garbage bags with you, as none were left and we had to make a special trip to town to get some.
We really enjoyed our stay here! There were some minor things that the owner could improve upon, such as locks on a couple of the doors, the back door still needs to be fixed
Family had so much fun this week, thank you to the owners for keeping the pool open and spot on communication! Fit our whole family perfectly and a great location.
We have been coming to OBX for 20 years. Never stayed on the 4x4 beach. We will never stay anywhere else! The property was amazing! Spacious and perfect for 2 families. We had 5 kids total and 4 adults. Love thatâs itâs very pet friendly. Clean home and comfortable beds and sofas. Easy walk to the beach for sunrises and sunsets!
Communication with the owners was very quick and informative. Really just love This property! The wild horses were an added bonus! We will be back!!
Very impressed with the property and location. Only real downfall I can say is due to the distance from stores it would be nice to have two full size refrigerators.
A lot of things there need to be repaired the screened in porch. The flooring is worn on the main floor. The grill was a piece of junk and I told the owner repeatedly that it wasnât working. I do believe it was leaking gas. We thought their maintenance person had left the valve on. The grill never worked properly at all. It wouldnât heat up and her reply to me was to bring another tank of gas. Well if half the grill wonât work gas isnât gonna help and the microwave kept throwing the breaker in the kitchen and it did not work we had to tote the microwave from the basement to the main floor and she was made aware of all these issues and for the price to me someone shouldâve went down to Home Depot whatever and purchased a microwave and definitely grill because you are so far from anything and it is such a long ride along the beach and we had lots of food we planned on grilling and we could not
First time in the Outer Banks and the location was perfect. A little intimidating driving off road on beach but after the second day it was a piece of cake. 4WD a must or AWD. Check the Tide schedule before coming and going. Layout of house was nice. Three of the BR led out to covered deck and master led put to upper deck and screened in section. Would have preferred chairs on deck outside of master instead of picnic table. Community door to lower deck did not function so you had to walk through one of the BR to access. Could use some nicer sheets for the bedding and pillows. Pool was nice and hot tub was clean. New furniture on upper deck that was very nice. Living room furniture seemed new and very comfortable. Owners were very responsive from booking until checkout. Over all the house was exactly as listed and we were NOT disappointed. Will definitely book again and recommend.
We canât say enough wonderful things about this property. From the moment we walked in, we knew that we had picked a phenomenal location. Driving on the beach can be a little nerve-racking if you have not done it before, but as long as you deflate your tires, you are good to go. The house was so completely serene, and the wild horses visited us almost every day. The beach was not at all crowded, and easily walkable. The pool was amazing, and the house was extraordinarily clean. The property owners were also completely kind and responsive every time we had an issue. For example, The grill was broken and they responded to me within an hour. We will absolutely be looking to book year over year here. There is even a small business owner who drives up and down the beach every day offering ice delivery! Overall, a phenomenal trip for our family and I canât think the homeowners and property managers enough. 10/10!
We had a wonderful family vacation .Location to the beach is perfect and the size accommodated us all.Some minor issues in the beginning but the owner was so nice and replied immediately to the issues at hand.Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to experience OBX without the busyness of shops and close neighbors
This place has everything you may need for a large group. The location is perfect, the house is lovely, and the lay-out allows for plenty of seating space and areas for guest to gather and relax. The infamous horses are every where. I was able to make meals for 10 people at a time, no problem. Lots of dishes, pots and pans, and utensils. The pool was a great respite after a long day on the beach. The only thing missing was a way to get from the carport to the outside shower, from the outside shower to the pool deck, and then back to the carport and inside without getting covered in sand again. My husband and I enjoyed the lower level bedroom, bathroom and sitting area with a beverage fridge and microwave. Our daughter and her family (hubby and 3 kids) enjoyed the second floor with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Our son, his wife and 2 children (22 months and 4 weeks) had plenty of room in the master bedroom on the main floor. This lovely home is amazingly perfect. I am only sad the family will be too big next year to rebook it. There was even a small welcome gift upon our arrival of dish soap, sponge, dish towel, coffee and a pretty jar of shells. A very nice touch.
The house was nice inside but really needs a deep cleaning. Kitchen cabinets,drawers,pantry were very dirty. Crumbs,onion peels etc refrigerator was really dirty inside. Freezer had red stuff running down inside it. I found a exploded can of pop in freezer. Dresser drawers had hair inside. Had to ask for sheets and pillow cases that fit beds. Could use some extra towels. One per person really is not enough. Screens surrounding hot tub were broke screens on upper deck where picnic table is all need fixed. Door to screened in area (upper deck) needs replaced. Rotting wood. Could not even put latch to keep it closed because latch is in wrong place. The wood is cracked on Front door where lock is. Looks like someone tried to Push their way in and cracked the wood. Washer was not working properly. Had to run cycle then run a rinse spin cycle to get water out of them. Washer or dryer is leaving black marks on cloths. Ruined some bathing suits and shirts. Light in bedroom with twin beds is not working. Had to use lamps. Refrigerator on bottom floor smells really bad. Weeds need pulled around inside fenced area or pool. Had to have them come fix shower on second floor. Rotting wood around sections of house. Windows are all dirty inside and out. Water was brown due to having well water. Owners did have cleaning service come with sheets and maintenance come and fix shower in timely manner. The house overall is nice but needs some fixing. Loved the beach and horses
What a great house and location. If you want a peaceful vacation this is it. The house was spacious and clean with a great view. There is noth8ng like waking in to see the sunrise on the top deck with a cup of coffee. We took picture's of the wild horses who walked around the house. The dining room has the perfect view to watch the ocean while eating dinner. We did not use the pool or hot tub but they were clean and ready for use. There was a small hickup one day with the A/C unit but the owners got it fixed in a few hours. The dogs loved the house and sunbathing on the deck. We hope to visit this location in future years.
