SOSB33 7 Day Weekend #33-S

The house is spacious with ample and varied bed/room configurations. Elevator was helpful for loading in and out AND for a guest that is mobility-challenged. Open kitchen/dining/living area was perfect for the family to be together AND provided an amazing view (especially around dawn and dusk). Large table for meals and for games/puzzles! Pool table downstairs was certainly a plus! We were able to enjoy the beach with a small trek, and explore the nearby Outer Banks from Hattaras to Kill Devil Hills. The lights in the carport area were out which created a safety issue since this is were the only steps to the elevator access are located. We notified Vacasa and the lights were fixed the next day along with some of the overhead bedroom lights

We had a wonderful time. This was the first time staying in this area. It was a great experience very different from our previous stays in other locations. The house was perfect for our needs. Especially the elevator, it made it so much easier for me to get around. The kids loved the pool and the of course the pool table and entertainment room. We would definitely stay here again.

The walk to the beach is a bit far as others have stated, but in the early morning you can hear the ocean from the deck. If you hate sand walking like me, there is a boardwalk to the left of the dune entrance as you walk towards the beach. The home was perfect for what we needed. The living room/dining area is big enough to gather. The outside pool area also has ample space. WiFi is terrible, we had to use an alternative, others used their hotspot on their phone. The tv in the main room didn’t connect to anything, so something to keep in mind for those that it would matter too. There was a 12 cup coffee pot, but no filters, so pack those. It took two trips to stores to find them stocked. The dishwasher takes forever to run, and as stated the dryer is slow. The property had shampoo / conditioner / body wash in all of the showers, but sadly the time we needed it we found it wasn’t filled. They also provided hand soap, a sponge and some small things for washing dishes. We opted to get some dishwasher pods though, since they only provided two packets of powder and we had a big group. There are nail pops in the deck, so have slip on shoes for kids to go in/out. My kid wore sliders or water socks (if by the pool). We also opted for out water socks for the walk to the beach too, as you need to walk on asphalt. We saw multiple rainbows and got lots of shells. The property is about 15mins from a Food Lion and just minutes to some local restaurants and gift shops. It is well situated for a group not looking to sight see but stay put for the most part. Also, it seemed like while it rained 2mins away or in one case , a street away, this area seemed to get less rain during our stay than reports back from friends shopping about the area. I am not sure if it was a fluke, but we didn’t mind. If we had to do it all over again, we would book the same place, but bring coffee filters. :)

Great location, loved the pool and beach was family oriented and tons of fun.

We never received a notification the house was ready. This house was dirty upon arrival, there was food around the kitchen and dining area floor. We had an issue and called Vacasa and they were out within a couple of hours to fix the issue. There were pills found under one of the beds and the kitchen is not well stocked with utensils and pots and pans. If you plan to do laundry, know the dryer took over 8 hours to dry a small load of clothes. The pool area had usable furniture but tons of nails popping, be careful and wear shoes. The pool has sun all day which can be a positive or a negative. Things I wish I knew when booking this house, the beach access is close but the walk from the access to the beach is a long walk when you have small children and all the gear. The Food Lion is about 20 mins away; there are some close well stocked markets. The Salvo Sound Beach Day area is very close and nice.

We enjoyed our stay, the property had plenty of space for 12 people. The pool area was nice, and my elderly mother appreciated the elevator, which was also great for carrying luggage and groceries to the main floor. The beach was nice, not crowded. It was a little further than I expected based on other reviews. I tried bringing my beach wagon, but once you get to the entry point for the beach, you have to go over two dunes to get to the beach, so only take what you can carry. The area across the main road was a perfect spot to watch the sunset. Overall, we loved the property. I was glad I brought a Keurig for coffee, because there wasn’t one. The kitchen had enough cookware and utensils to get by, we were able to prepare all our meals with the stuff provided. There were some signs that the property is dog friendly, there are scratch marks on the master bath door because someone clearly locked their poor pup in there, and some chew marks on the bottom of bed. We have dogs (that we didn’t bring) so that didn’t bother us, but if you want a pristine house, I figured it was good to note.
