We just got home from a week at the BU and were so sad to leave. The house and location are amazing and we had the most wonderful time!!!!

It is very close to the beach, and there are excellent ocean views from the deck.

The location is everything to us - access to the beach is steps away, view of ocean from the deck is awesome, and it's not that far from Fishheads. The cottage is always clean, neat, and well-stocked. Our family loves the downstairs area; once the little ones are tucked away, we spend the rest of the evening playing pool and hot tubbing! Highly recomond, especially familes with small children.

Living room/kitchen area had a bad odor that wouldn’t go away. Grill was rusted and unusable.

The description match the property perfectly. The beds and linens were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for a group of 6 adults to cook and prepare meals. There was plenty of comfy seating for everyone to relax and spread out and was perfect to gather to play games. The views were awesome and the location to the beach was perfect. We enjoyed the pingpong table quite a bit as well! Can't wait to come back next year!

It's always had a few issues, but this trip it was significantly worse than all the previous years combined. The handrails were filthy, grimy, and sticky with a thick layer of filth on each. We bought scubbers and ****-n-Span, then cleaned the railings OURSELVES. A toilet seat was broken, some lights/fans were inoperable, the ice-maker mad ice alright, but trying to obtain ice through the refrigerator door resulted in a complete dump of ALL THE ICE in the tray. The Harmony universal remote NEVER charged - an issue from previous years. Several of the cooking pans were beyond disgusting, worn beyond all practical useThe floors throughout The BU remained covered with a layer of sand, especially on the lower level surrounding the pool table. Several of the pool cues were missing tips, but a set of tips in their package was by the pool table so we repaired some of the cues OURSELVES. The pool table covering is coming loose at one point, although the table remained functional. When we arrived there were NO SHEETS for two of the queen beds and couples had to sleep with blankets and bare pillows Saturday night. The sheets were finally delivered late Sunday. WE contacted Beach Realty Sunday morning by email(phones were down by Hermine). WE met Chris and Ken leaving Proteus Ct, two Beach Realty repair people who were doing storm damage appraisals, and they kindly agreed to help us out. They replaced the toilet seat, evaluated the refrigerator, and repaired a door screen. THEY did a great job, although they had not been told about our problems by anyone. It was a chance encounter. There were numerous other issues, moldy deck furniture, a water hose downstairs that was short and split, doors that wouldn't open due to sand collection(again we resolved the problem OURSELVES with a large pan and copious water), and sand, sand, sand. WE WILL NOT BE RENTING THE BU AGAIN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. What a disappointment!

Loved the amazing views from the deck! Couldn't have asked for a better location - just steps to the beach ! Appreciate the dog friendly amenity which is very important to us. Looking forward to next year - but we have so many happy memories from the years staying at the "BU". The Beach Realty staff and maintenance (if needed) were excellent ! THANK YOU owners and Beach Realty !

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had such an amazing time in January with my husband and dog. The house could use a bit of paint on the outside, but inside it is well cared for, well stocked, and above our expectations. Highly recommend. The downside was our hot tub broke down repeatedly. It seemed to be an odd situation, as it kept coming on and off intermittently.The first time, maintenance came out and it was working within hours. The second time, maintenance never came to our knowledge. By later the following day, it was up and running again. Wish we could have enjoyed it our last day, though.

We arrived about an hour early and called property management receiving permission to enter the rental early. This was extremely nice as we had been on a the road for 8 hrs.The home was in great location, we (and our dog) enjoyed our time even more because this time of year few other people were on the beach. The view of the ocean was great and we also enjoyed several nightly pool games. Although my game didn’t improve, we give the home high marks for the pool table, chairs for beach use and the hot tub. We had lots of day trips including lighthouses, Wright brothers Museum and Jockeys Ridge. Ron even caught a couple of trout!

This home is comfortably furnished and the floor plan is ideal for family gatherings as well as quiet time on the deck with a good book. Ocean and sunset views are amazing!

The description match the property perfectly. The beds and linens were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for a group of 6 adults to cook and prepare meals. There was plenty of comfy seating for everyone to relax and spread out and was perfect to gather to play games. The views were awesome and the location to the beach was perfect. We enjoyed the pingpong table quite a bit as well! Can't wait to come back next year!

The house is in great shape with good beach access. We stayed early spring when the time outdoors was limited a bit by weather so having a nice indoor space to relax and be together was important. Our family enjoyed the house very much and will definitely stay again. Thank you.

This house was everything we could have hoped for and more. The beach is so close. It was easy to get the kids out to play in the sand and even splash in the cold water. Everyone had plenty of space to spread out and we all slept comfortably. The top floor is very livable and we never felt like we were on top of each other. The views were incredible. As an added bonus, the internet connection was strong enough to allow us to check in with work as needed during our stay. It was a truly wonderful stay and we highly recommend this house, even in the coldest months!
