Overall the house is great, easy check in process, outdoor area with the pool and hot tub were a life saver since the red flags were flying at the beach so week long! Plenty of space for everyone, pool table, ping pong table etc. Proximity to the beach was ideal, 5 minute direct walk, the shed was really well stocked with pretty much everything you could need. There were a few minor issues with wear and tear, mostly to be expected, missing remotes to TVs, a light missing it's cover and so on, as I wrote, primarily minor. The larger issues were that 2 of the sliding doors did not latch meaning anytime we left the house it wasn't secure. What made this frustrating was we emailed the owners and never heard back. Before checking in we also had an email saying check out time was 11am, yet in the notes and on the fridge was a message saying check out time was 10am. Before checking in we had messaged for clarification on check out time and also never got a response. I understand people are busy, but to hear no response to 2 separate messages was a little disappointing. Overall though the stay was positive and we'd consider the same house again in future.
We have been going to OBX for decades but this was our first time in this house and we loved it. The house is beautiful and extremely clean. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need and the location could not be more convenient to grocery stores, miniature golf, restaurants and beach access. We especially loved the hot tub, pool and screened in porch. We can't wait to come back!!
We had such a good time. The house was spacious, clean and perfect for our family. There was included baby gates and pack n plays for littles. Lots of beach equipment was provided The pool and hot tub were a huge plus. The location was great, close to all attractions and 5 minute walk to the beach. We will definitely be coming back!
Perfect location. Very short 2 block walk to the beach at a public access area. Easy access to main roads. Walking distance to grocery stores and cute kid's park. The house is great, easily accommodated our family of 8 adults, 4 children and a dog. Plenty of space in bedrooms (TVs in all bedrooms) and plenty of bathrooms. It is also easy to block off certain areas with baby gates for the toddler and the dog. Kitchen is very well stocked and there is plenty of indoor and outdoor dining seating. Great seating on both deck levels - including a large hammock on the 2nd level deck. Love the screen porch off the kitchen on the 3rd level. We had fun playing pool on the first level, which has 2 separate TV viewing areas as well as a large laundry room and bathroom.Perfect sized, clean pool with plenty lounge chairs on the concrete pad. Great hot tub - easily fits 4 people. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Good for walking the dog. We would definitely stay at this property again!
Plenty of bedrooms, kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of dishes and cooking utensils to feed the crowd. Nice large gathering place. Made our vacation wonderful!
The house was everything we expected and more! Short walk to the ocean! The fenced in pool area and hot tub were a big hits for our fur babies to enjoy playing fetch around the pool. We enjoyed the pool table on the bottom floor and the bikes from the shedâ„ïž We enjoyed our stay and appreciate sharing this beautiful home đĄ
It was our first time vacationing in the OBX and we really enjoyed our stay !! We loved how everything was so well put together at the house !! The house is very spacious and in a very calm nice neighborhood. We will definitely be returning to this location !!!
House is well supplied and very nice. Close walk to the beach and close to a lot of fun, food and things to do. Host and property manager were very responsive to any questions and needs. Will definitely stay there again
This trip allowed my family to get together and have some great bonding time. we came from 4 different areas of the country and made some great memories.
We were a 3-generation family of 8 and were very pleased with the number and size of the bedrooms and the number of bathrooms. Communication with the owner was excellent. The house is a little shabby in places and in need of minor repairs (e.g. splinters on wooden steps and rails). The kitchen is very well equipped, and even though the owners said that basics like toilet paper, paper towels, condiments, and cleaning supplies would not be included, they were all there (we had needlessly packed these things). We enjoyed the pool and the short walk to the beach. Just a caveat for older folks or those with mobility issues--the kitchen is on the third floor, requiring carrying heavy groceries up three flights of stairs. Overall, we would recommend this house.
Thank you again for sharing your home with us.
We throughly enjoyed our time at Kill Devils Hill.
Great beach home and location. Comfortable beds.
Nice kitchen. Great pool and hot tub.
Great beach access. Nice pool & hot tub. Beautiful house & comfy beds . Shed full of every beach item you need for all ages ! Beach buggies to pull it all in too!
We all had an amazing time at this villa and everyone enjoyed themselves tremendously. The check in and check out process was smooth and effortless. Thank you for a great time.
Wonderful house with awesome amenities and beach gear! They had linens and towels and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. The owner responded quickly to get us what we needed - a baby gate and to unclog the bathtub drains. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The sound from the cars on the nearby main street was a bit loud though. The deck was very enjoyable but is very old with some dilapidated boards, furniture and screens, so that was a safety hazard for the toddlers. Not a deck where young kids can wander around safely. The pool and hot tub were awesome and the shed had all the beach gear you could dream of! Beach chairs, toys, wagons, umbrellas, bikes, boogie boards, floaties - you really donât need to bring any of your own stuff. We enjoyed that a ton. Very short walk to the beach! Overall loved it.
Beds are key for us and everyone slept great. The beds were so comfortable.
We were disappointed that the hot tub didnât work. My dad who is disabled was really looking forward to it so that was a bummer. We never could get the lock off the shed with the bikes because it was rusted.
Other issues were resolved quickly. We really did enjoy this place.
Starting with the pros- the location couldnât have been more perfect..2 minute walk to the beach and market, close by bars and restaurants too! Kitchen was pretty stocked with pots, pans, etc. The house was very spacious with plenty of spots for my group to hangout & the check in process was very easy.
There were a few concerns. First concern being that you can tell the owners donât stop by the house often. There was a broken cabinet in the kitchen that was off the hinges, a loose knob on the closet door in one of the master bedrooms, some of the sliding doors didnât lock, and the worst of all, the hot tub display didnât work, which meant we couldnât turn the temperature up to enjoy it. I contacted the owners without hearing back. Communication after check in was nonexistent.. not one response from them. They did however, send someone to check out the hottub, after the first time complaining to them, which wouldâve been great if it had gotten fixed. The maintenance guy did fix the display on the hottub, but once we tried turning up the temperature, we realized it was still not working. I contacted the owners for a second time regarding this concern, and did not hear back.
Overall, my group enjoyed our stay because we were able to lay out by the pool and walk to the beach but lack of communication with the owners is unfortunately a reason for my group and I to not to come back.
Good house with a lot of nice amenities! Fantastic location - walking distance to the beach, multiple restaurants, and supermarkets. We had one or two maintenance issues with the house but the owners responded immediately and got everything fixed. My friends and I hope to stay again!
Great vacation rental for a large family! Plenty of space for everyone. Beach access is very close! Pool and hot tub was a plus! Plenty of yard space to walk your fur babies. Conveniently located to grocery stores, restaurants, and other treats. Walking distance to Goombays. Highly recommended and would stay again!
Spacious 3-level with lots of furnished outdoor space. Four teens and two tweens had the bottom floor to themselves for TV viewing and pool/pingpong. Well equiped kitchen, 2 frigs, ample parking and 300 yards from the beach; plenty of pool chairs, beach equipment... Our 3 families had a great time. We've already booked it again for our family vacation for next summer.
Overall great property. Layout is perfect for large group/family to have plenty of space. Must say the property is ready for a spring clean. A couple bulbs needed replacing but it didnât hamper our stay. We did have a situation to need to reach the property manager/owner about an appliance. The issue was quickly rectified!
Flavor Hails from Smithfield and so do the Dardens! We love everything water, sand and pork. We are high school sweethearts from the 90's and spent our summers working and living on the OBX. My brother did much of the same, and while living West Coast, wanted a little slice of the East Coast as a retreat and taste of home. For our family, Kill Devil Hills is the classic family getaway and we hope you find the ability to relax at our perfect vacation spot. Bring your Hams and sit them on our Decks!
While Thomas and I could sit on the beach all day, our kids are much more sensible. Lilly wants a pool, Chip wanted a game room, Chase wanted a hot tub like Uncle Carson and well, Carson, he wanted a place to surf on the East Coast. This house is perfect for us and we hope you enjoy all the amenities that make this complete for our family.
Location, Location, Location. You can walk/bike to the beach, the grocery store, shopping, Putt Putt, great restaurants, movies, etc. You have the privacy of a large lot with landscaping, private pool and hot tub, all while right smack dab in the middle of OBX vacation mecca.
