This home is simple & elegant with amazing views. We were delighted with dolphins and birdwatching every day. The house was clean and well equipped for our holiday getaway. Highly recommend you book the Knotty Whale for your next OBX adventure.

This house was beautiful and we loved the quiet location. It was spacious and had a great view of the ocean and stars. Only thing I would say that needs improvement were the washer and bedroom comforter. The washer smelled very funky and had black stains in it.. and the comforter was very stained and had fur all over it. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay!

Views were incredible from all the balconies, plenty of space for our large party. Just don’t plan on grilling, ever, the grill isn’t what you’d expect.

The house could be absolutely wonderful but its dirty. So much hair on the fitted sheet of one bunk bed, it appeared maybe a haircut occurred on it and the comforter. The air filter was full on the a/c indoor unit. Heaven know how dirt the one is upstairs above the master bedroom. Only 2 small closets but they are full of stuff and a small hanger on one bedroom door. The kitchen was still dirty from the previous renter. Food all over the stove, countertop and baking soda spilled on the refrigerator top shelf. All floors were sandy, not a little either. There was almost 1/4 cup of sand under the cushions on both dirty sofas. Two vacuum cleaners had no bags but were run without a bag and both had short black hair and sand. Dishes in the cabinet had water in them. A beautiful house, with a beautiful view with so much potential but the cleaning service is horrible. After we got the place cleaned up we had a great time but it took a lot of work on our part to get the house clean. I will say the bathrooms were clean. But the comforters were dirty, the floors were dirty, kitchen was dirty. Kitchen and dining room light fixtures were greasy and dirty. Dining room table finish is sticky. I feel for the owners because their beautiful home is not being maintained

The property was great, super location, nice pool and hot tub. Generally clean. Cleaning as far as under beds, behind things and extra blankets could use improvement. Had to leave two days early because of storm surge, flooding of roads. They wouldnt refund because no evacuation order, even though governor declared state of emergency.

We arrived at the Knotty Whale on 9/2/2023. We were aware of the steps but not aware that we could not access the third level (main level) without going completely around to the back of the house to get to the door to the inside stairs. The one bunk room does not have a door. No privacy. The one queen room does have a private bathroom. The other queen room has to share a bathroom with the bunk rooms. One towel for each of us for the week. Luckily there are laundry facilities on the first level so we were able to wash towels. The property manager, Robert, I will give a 1/10. When we first started talking with him he was nice, but when I called later, closer to our arrival time - I had asked for chairs to be placed around the pool. He thought my concerns were "trivial" and that I was "convincing" myself that I would not have a good vacation. There were a total of 6 lounge chairs by the pool which was very much appreciated so we could have somewhere to sit when we were not in the pool. I texted Robert at 8:49 AM on 9/8 telling him that our upstairs was set for 72 but was reading 80. I called Vacasa 3 hours later and was informed he didn't put a ticket in. KUDOS to Brittany from Vacasa - she immediately put a ticket in for our A/C issues on 9/8 so we could have a comfortable night. She deserves an 11/10 for customer service. Alex, the maintenance guy who came to assess our issue, went above and beyond to check the unit. He deserves above a 10 as well.
