Our family of 6 absolutely loved this house. It has an older OBX feel to it, but it was very clean and comfortable. Our teens loved that the house came equipped with paddle boards and kayaks. The views of the water paired with non stop breezes was top tier. We would absolutely visit again!

Overall, this was a very lovely stay. We had not been to the Outer Banks before but appreciated that this location isn't terribly close to "everything" further North as when we did travel that way it was very busy. This location is much more relaxed. Vacasa communicated well and it was nice for the kids to use the Vacasa pool one day. The home is large and as pictured. The views of the sound are incredible. Check out procedures are slightly confusing. There's a paper on the fridge that says one thing, the Vacasa paperwork in the living room with something else, and a third paper near the main floor bathroom telling you to place linens in a tote (laundry basket?). I do like to leave the homes we stay in as clean as possible, so this was not as clear as it could be. Additionally, and this may be because we are used to other VRBOs, so I don't know if this is common here, I really would recommend at least double the towels that are provided. So, if you are a family of 5 staying all week like we did, you may want to bring your own so you aren't doing laundry so much. The home itself could use some updating with minor things (curtains need cleaning, a bookshelf needs reattached to the wall, paint touch ups). That being said, items that a housekeeper would regularly clean were impeccable (fridge, bathrooms, floors, etc.). Check in for us got pushed back an hour for the cleaning team, but this was clearly communicated, and I'd rather wait & have a clean home. Solid 4/5

House could use a little updating and the condensation drips from the vent in the master bathroom. Otherwise it was very clean and the perfect place. Having the use of kayaks and SUP’s were a great bonus! I would stay here again

We loved the location on the water, and the views from almost anywhere in the house. My grandkids enjoyed the games. The issues we had were nothing horrible. Just some tweaks. When you drive up you assume you should go upstairs to the front door that you can see, however that door doesn't have the electronic lock so you have to go back down and up another staircase. Not major, but annoying. The kayaks and paddleboards would have been great, but there were no child size life vest so we couldn't use them. Two out of three burners on the grill don't light automatically. Fortunately we had matches and got it lit, however the temperature is impossible to control. On the lowest setting it jumped from 250 degrees to 550 degrees in less than two minutes. We had hockey pucks instead of hamburgers. Thr refrigerator froze everything on the top shelf even though it was set as recommended. The freezer had a thermometer in it that ranged from negative 10 to positive 40 with ice melting and dripping. These are all minor things, but they make the stay a little aggravating. Overall we liked the house alot and would love it if these things were addressed.
