Great house. So much room for our large group of 15. We'll stocked, ice maker is a definite plus. Felt like a vacation. Short stroll to the beach. Pool and hot tub were great. Some outdoor sprucing up, showers, picnic area, side yard, would make a huge difference. Host was very responsive and helpful. The included golf cart was an awesome perk.Overall a fantastic experience

Good stay

We had some hiccups with the pool being unclean but the property manager was quick to take care of it. It may be because we were there in an off peak time. It was upsetting to the kids we lost an entire day with the pool but we made do. Some parts of the house were damaged and we had to do a photo walk before check in so we didn’t get the blame but when you have a property that’s rented often it can happen. It was a nice location. Some of the pots and pans were dirty and we had to wash them before cooking (as you should anyways) but that’s more the cleaning service than the owners. All in all it was minimal issues.

Great Stay

Our group of 18 had such a good stay here. The location is perfect...only a few steps away from the beach. The house is massive and it never felt squished even with 18 people. We didn't have any issues while we were there. I would highly recommend this spot for a large group.

Fantastic house for a family reunion!

My family and I had a wonderful time in Ourter Banks and this house was just perfect and completely comfortable for our large group. Everything was clean and the host was very responsive to every call and text with the questions we had. The kitchen is fully equipped with large pots and serving bowls, which made it easy to prepare meals for a group of our size. The pool and hot tub were very nice addition when we got tired of the beach, which was just steps away. Highly recommend this place for reunions and get togethers.

Wonderful location. A bit more quiet than the bustle of Nags Head. Can see the ocean from many windows! Great rooms for many generations. Having the pool in addition to the ocean was wonderful. Quick responses to questions by owner before and during stay.

Family fun

This house was perfect for our large family. 8 adults and 9 children. Bedrooms on each level with private bathroom for most. Great room/kitchen was large enough for all of us. Short walk to the ocean beach and larger swimming pool and hot tub. Constant fun! House was in great condition. Lots of kitchen utensils, appliances and dishes. Bed linens and towels included. We agree we would vacation here again.

Location was great.

Just a few minutes from ocean. Bedroom/ bathroom ratio was extremely desirable for our families. Pool/ hot tub was really nice to get a break from sand and salt water. And Facebook posts about heavy traffic were over exaggerated-never was at a standstill. Plus we had perfect weather all week. (Helped we could cool off in air conditioning.

Great time in Waves!

We had a great time in Waves! This home could use some updating but has great bones and plenty of room for our large family. There is no outdoor space for playing outside do too overgrown vegetation, which also caused the pool deck to be quit dirty. Be advised the closest grocery store or sit down restaurant is in Avon about 20mins away. The walk to the beach is less than 3 mins, very convenient!!

Really lovely home!

My friends all enjoyed our stay so much! The kitchen was stocked with plenty of pots and pans, coffee mugs, plates, silverware, etc. We were able to cook multiple full dinners for 19 of us. Plenty of beach chairs available, boogie boards, etc. We hungout at the pool and hot tub every day and enjoyed how close to the beach the house was. Such a nice, quiet little cul-de-sac. We just had one small issue (not enough bath towels) but Doreen helped us out quickly. Small touches (like ice makers in both freezers, plenty of dishwasher and laundry pods, etc) really made the stay so much more enjoyable. We were able to squeeze 7 cars into the driveway pretty easily. I’d absolutely stay here again.

Fantastic week at the Outer Banks

Our family had a great time at the Outer Banks. The house was perfect for our family, which consisted of three generations ranging from 82 to 13. It was just a couple minutes walk to the beach, and the pool and hot tub were excellent. The main living space allowed all of us to hang out and share meals together on the upper level, and it was nice to have a second living room with a pool table on the lower level to allow us to spread out as well. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. The host was very responsive and able to address small issues that came up during the week which was appreciated. Rodanthe is a less populated area with several camp sites. It is ideal if you are looking for a less crowded, more remote beach experience. We were still close enough to drive to Nagshead and Kitty Hawk to enjoy some of the features in those locations. While we planned to go to Hatteras and Ocracoke one day, we were enjoying the house and Rodanthe so much, we decided to stay put instead.

Few issues. Overall enjoyed the stay.

Nice 6 bed property. 3rd floor has lot of space for a get together. Few issues we noticed and informed the property manager. We found a lot of bugs including cockroaches across the house including kitchen. Music system was not working. Tv sound was not loud enough. Swimming pool was not covered in the winter and had dirty water filled. House was clean. Linen was clean. Proximity to the beach. We all enjoyed the stay.

Great Vacation to Outer Banks June 2020

This was a great and much needed vacation for the family during these crazy times. No complaints about anything property related, it was as expected and there was more than enough room for my large family that stayed here. We had a lot of young ones running around too so the installed baby gates and child friendliness of this home was a huge bonus. If we were not on the beach then we were poolside - great pool! Lisa was also great and easy to work with. We booked this vacation well before the time of covid so leading up to our stay there was some uncertainty to it all. Lisa was ready and willing to work with us if that was going to prevent us from getting to the Out Banks keeping me at ease if our booked week was not going to be permitted. Thankfully we did not have to deal with that but just knowing that Lisa would have worked out a plan B with us was amazing. Thank you Lisa for allowing us to stay and making sure we had a wonderful vacation!
