Pros: The house is beautiful! It was spacious and accommodating. Bedrooms were all lovely, balconies all around the house. Game room in basement was great! The pool and hot tub were great. The location was convenient, about 5-7 minute walk to the beach. It's close to food shopping as well. Cons: The kitchen! Large spacious kitchen but it was dirty and disorganized. The fridge was a hodgepodge of mismatched/missing shelves, missing drawer, no light or water filter for the fridge and rusty. The utensils looked like almost everything came from a yard sale, flea market, thrift store. The stove made a constant noise while on, a weird safety feature for irresponsible people maybe? Very annoying 😒 Drawers and cabinets disorganized, nothing where you would think it should be. There were 3 coffee makers. They were not the best. A small weird off version of a Keurig, a filthy old thing, and a really nice one that had unusually large filters and the only food store in town was out of them which resulted in me going to Ugly Mugs for delicious coffee several times. I would ask the owner if they're comfortable using this kitchen. I am a mother of six. I need a usable kitchen. It would not cost much to fix those issues. A large griddle would be a plus for making large breakfasts for large groups of people (pancakes, french toast, eggs, etc.) The grill was also filthy, needed to be cleaned before it could be used. There were several missing light bulbs around the house with an empty light bulb box in the closet. Maintenance came out because circuit breaker in master bedroom kept tripping for no obvious reason. I had a lightless ceiling fan on, one nightstand light, and Alexa on, that was it but circuit tripped several times. No explanation or solution. The lawn/yard was the only one in the development that hadn't been mowed in ages. There were weeds with little prickers that attached themselves to everything and were stepped on throughout the house. Mow the lawn, organize and clean the kitchen. Other small issues, the dust, tops of dressers, anything not immediately visible was dusty. I could write my name in it. Moldy shower in master suite. I took pics and sent to management. We all did enjoyed our time at the Shark Tank. I left this review because I was invited to do so.

House was nice and great for our group. Importantly parking was not an issue.

The house is as pictured. It is the second time we stayed at this house and it is spacious but needs some updating and care done to it. The AC broke which happened the last time we were in house too. The new management Vacasa was hard to deal with. You don't get a local person when you call and it took all day for someone to come to fix AC. Miss dealing with Outer Beaches and will not rent a home again that is under Vacasa management.

We’ve rented through several different companies throughout the years that we’ve been staying at the OBX, and when we found out that the company we booked through sold to Vacasa I was a little nervous on expectations because I’ve heard bad things. This trip was much better then expected! We were able to check in 4 hours early (we didn’t purchase early check in), the house was well stocked with the essentials (LOTS of toilet paper and starter dish soap/dishwasher detergent). The house itself worked wonderfully for our group of 14 adults! It was well stocked with cooking and kitchen essentials and everything was in great condition! There was even a KitchenAid mixer!! There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating that could accommodate our group together. The bedrooms were also great! Definitely one of the better houses we’ve stayed in!

Fantastic location and home

Beautiful home with all the amenities we needed! We loved that every bedroom had a private bathroom plus an extra communal bathroom with shower. The pool was always our after-beach go-to…very clean with nice, comfortable lounge chairs. Hot tub was great, too! Kitchen was huge with lots of storage and very well equipped. Furniture was comfortable and well kept. Lots of room for parking our 5 cars without blocking anyone in. We will be booking this one again!

The living room and pool areas were excellent.

Couldn’t be happier with our stay at Shark Tank in Avon, NC! The house was simply amazing and extremely well kept. It was less than a 5 min walk to the beach and located a short drive/walk from the supermarket and great spots to eat. It fit all 14 of us comfortably for a full week and we left with absolutely zero complaints! If you’re searching for a perfect home for your vacation getaway in OBX, you can’t go wrong with Shark Tank! We truly enjoyed our stay!
