This family-friendly Outer Banks Vacation home is sure to please everyone in your group.

A wonderful spacious house

Our extended family stayed here for a week. There are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils; there are two ovens and two dishwashers to handle a large group. The house was clean when we arrived, with all the beds made and plenty of towels. Beautiful views from the porches, and a delightful swimming pool / hot tub. We loved it!!

50th Bday Weekend

Rented this house with a group of friends as a surprise trip for a friend's 50th birthday. Everything was great, everyone had a great time. Would love to rent this place again during the summer season but I'm sure the price goes up substantially then.

Family vacation

Overall everything was as expected. The only thing was the pool was really dirty when we arrived, however they sent a pool guy out first thing in the morning for cleaning, that was nice. We would stay again.

Overall great!

Had a good experience at Fearing Cottage. Lots of dishes, utensils, pots, and pans to use. Only wish we had a binder which included all the important things such as directions on how to use the tv’s and Bluetooth systems. Also the trash directions were a little confusing. Dumpers say don’t take out to street, message says someone will get them (which they didn’t). Clearer directions would be great. Overall a great location and a wonderful time was had by all!!

We had a great stay! The Fearing was just as the description advised and pictures indicated. It was clean, well equipped, good parking and the outside areas were wonderful. If not already addressed, all overhead lights in the garage need to be replaced in order to have lighted access to the elevator on the ground floor. My favorite spot was the covered porch on the top floor beachside. Thank you!

We had a wonderful trip. We enjoyed this cottage a lot. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. Both of the decks were great. Our only problem was beach access. The steps to the beach had been covered in sand and unusable. Ample parking and great layout for large groups.

The home is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. Maybe being the first guest of the season has disadvantages. no access to beach, sand dune covered access. Small issues like towel and toilet paper hold fell off. Kitchen is stocked with beautiful equipment. good idea to remind guests to bring toilet paper.

Great location and lots of room for large families

This was a great experience as the weather was decent enough for most of our stay in April and the location and easy access to beach and great views of the sea from most of the bed rooms and the best view from the living area was the highlight. Although the house was well maintained overall, We do have a few suggestions for improvement - fix the locks on bathroom doors on those shared between kids and adults bathrooms, the lights in the garage with ground level access to the elevator aren’t working ( we could just use the elevator lights for illumination as an alternative) and a better dryer ( it took forever to dry our wet clothes) would have been a great help.

Overall I liked the cottage, especially the open great room. It was great having all the seating for our meals too. The views of the ocean were wonderful and you have a really nice pool, though it would be nice to have handlebars on the steps. The appliances need updating as not all the burners worked on the stoves, there was an issue with the ice maker on the refrigerator and the dryer took a long time to dry. The bedroom I was in on the second floor with the queen bed had a tv that was very old and it didn't work as stated on the message taped to it. I had looked forward to using it.

We loved the Fearing Cottage! It was so much more spacious than we expected based on pictures and with 13 adults and 8 kids under 5 we needed the room! Everyone had enough room and privacy and it was a wonderful home for kids (particularly the connecting master/bunk rooms). A few minor suggestions. ... please replace the toasters- they barely work at all, spray for bugs- we found several water bugs in the house and several mounds of ants on the pool deck, uncover the stairs to the beach- obvious they were there bit covered by sand like from replinishment activities, provide TV/electronic instructions on main living room equipment- there are about 5 pieces to turn on and set up and it took us 2 days to figure out how to turn on DVD player, some Tupperware containers in kitchen would be great for storing leftovers- none to be found anywhere, check bathrooms for mold growing around shower stalls under and in seems of wallpapers- pretty bad in left master/bunk shared bathroom. There were so many great featu

First time renting from VR and service was excellent. Home could use an assortment of drinking glasses and we had to call for a second coffee pot. Should spray for bugs. VR should have a thorough checklist ( in my opinion) of entire home prior to new guests arriving. Overall experience was very good and we would come back. The eclectic furniture pieces throughout the house are a nice touch. VR poeople are GREAT😃!
