We have stayed at many rentals like this and have had a relatively consistent opinion and experience. A few disappointing things were found however. You won’t find out until you arrive and explore the property or read the ‘Guest’s Guide’ that only decaf coffee (of which you can only use a few, the sign says, to get you started and you buy your own) and tea (if you can find it — I couldn’t) and liquid hand soap are provided (we couldn’t find that either). A number of other common items were redacted from the list of supplied items in the ‘Kitchen Appliances, ETC’ paragraphs, such as: dish detergent, laundry detergent, sweeteners, spices (there were a few), salt and pepper, so don’t get caught short bring these things with you because there isn’t even a starter amount of these. You should probably add kitchen towels and paper towels to your list. You won’t have a starter supply of either. Another thing you should bring is toilet paper. You would think you would at least have a starter roll in each bathroom. Don’t bet on it. The bbq is not sufficient for the size of the house. It might have been if a third of it wasn’t rusted out and inoperable which effectively took out half the grill. Fortunately, it didn’t leak gas or blow up when we used it. The microwave will work when it wants to — if you can figure out the secret handshake to get it started.

We enjoyed our Outer Banks vacation very much. The property we stayed at was perfect for us, it was clean and quiet, and check in/checkout was a breeze. Highly recommend!
