House was very clean, well laid out and seemed recently renovated. Very close walk to the beach. Wish it has beach view but other than that, very nice house.

Hey Marshall, I'm glad you appreciated the cleanliness and the recent renovations. A beach view would be a nice touch but since we do not have that I'm pleased you found the proximity to the beach convenient. Thank you for the review and hope to host you again soon!
Although chilly we had the absolute best time. The house was beautiful, location perfect. And we never got our check in code but James was easy to reach and got it to us right away. Highly recommend this house!

Hi Donald, I'm so thrilled to hear you found the house beautiful and clean and that you enjoyed its convenient location. I hope to host you again!
Super clean. Great location - short walk to the beach. Great layout - plenty of room for our family of four to spread out. Liked spending time on the porch in the morning and enjoying a pre-dinner beverage out there in the evening.

Hey Jason, thank you for the amazing review! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I hope to host you again soon!
We loved our stay at RUM-D.C.A.! The house is very new and super clean. We loved the layout and the hot tub. The beds were comfy and all the amenities you were expect were there for our use. The location was great as well - close to the beach and a short trip to restaurants and other activities. We've stayed in lots of rentals houses around the U.S. and abroad, and this one tops the list for looks, amenities and cleanliness!

Hi Leah, I'm delighted to know you had a wonderful stay at RUM-D.C.A.! Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience and I hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again soon!
We had a fantastic time during our stay. The property met all of our expectations. It looks exactly as presented in the listing. It is clean and has ample kitchen supplies for cooking.
We loved that it is located so close to the beach. As other reviews have mentioned stores/shops/restaurants are close by.
James is so helpful and is very quick to respond.
I would highly recommend booking this property

Hey Amy, I'm absolutely thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic time and that the house met all your expectations! It's great to know you found it clean, well-equipped, and perfectly located. I'd love to welcome you back for another beach vacation!
This property is exactly as listed and a short walk to the beach (across Oregon Inlet Rd). There was room to spread out in the house and outside yard space. I ended up having Corolla Beach Services setup a tent and chairs for us a for a couple of days (which was such a treat and wonderful customer service), but we would have been able to use the beach equipment at the house. The chairs were not in the greatest shape, but there was a wagon, umbrella, chairs, and a cooler available for use. There was also a corn hole set at the house too.There were a couple of stray hairs and spots in the master shower that could have been cleaned better and the pollen had settled on the outdoor furniture, but overall the property was clean and we had no issues.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Sara! I’m so glad to hear the home was a comfortable place for you to unwind after college move-out, and that you enjoyed the location and the yard space. It’s great to know you made use of the beach gear.
I appreciate your notes about the outdoor furniture and master shower, we’ll be sure to pass that along to our team so we can improve in those areas. Thanks again for being such a great guest, and I’d love to welcome you back anytime!
The house is beautiful and the property was clean. We were expecting to be closer to the beach-we weren’t expecting to have to cross a major road to get there on foot.
James, the host was phenomenal-he always replied within a timely manner. He was professional and helpful.
One of the reasons I booked the place was because of the hot tub, but we decided that we couldn’t use it because when we opened the lid, sand was everywhere-in every seat and on the floor. That was very disappointing. This is the reason I didn’t give it an overall 5 score.
A second reason that I didn’t give it a 5 score is that the mattress in the master bedroom was awful! We ended up sleeping at the foot of the bed on the first night. The second night, we went upstairs and that mattress was much better.

Thank you for your feedback on the property! I’m glad to hear you loved the location, it truly is a beautiful spot, and the cleaning team always ensures the home is spotless for each guest’s arrival. The property is 600 feet from the beach, and I provide pictures showing the exact distance and the route, which does involve crossing a road. I apologize if this wasn’t what you expected, but these details are shared with you prior to booking. Regarding the hot tub, it is cleaned thoroughly between each guest’s stay. If you had contacted me during your visit, I would have been happy to send someone to address the issue right away. I also understand that mattress preferences vary, and I’m glad you found a more comfortable option upstairs. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
Hi Kyle, thanks for the 4 stars! We'd love to hear what you meant by 'but'—any feedback is appreciated. I hope to see you back again soon!
