wonderful property w a million dollar view

Loved being so close to the beach, having a pool was a wonderful way to spend the day during the hottest parts of the day. the house itself was very comfortable with lots of space for everyone to not feel cramped. Location is also excellent, close to grocery, restaurants, and shopping. You can tell it's an older house that's seen some use, but for a group of 7 of various ages, it was wonderful.

Do not stay here! It’s an old unkept house. Nothing good say about this home except its view.

Nothing to love about this home. Price is ridiculous for what you get. It’s outdated, unkept and dirty!

Great location, average house in need of some work

The house is close to the beach and this was the greatest part about our stay. The house was average and could benefit from some deep cleaning and remediation of mold. The kitchen had lots of supplies but all were worn out and in need of replacing. The pool was great and so was the hot tub.
Response from VrboOwner on 7 Sept 2024

Right on the beach

The pool and hot tub were great and clean! Ocean and beach are literally right there. Decks with views on each floor. Walkable to the fishing pier, farmers market, and playgrounds. Well stocked kitchen with all of the utensils, pots, cups and plates we needed. Areas to improve/note: there is no bathroom on the main floor, have to go up or down stairs, mattresses need to be replaced, bedrooms need power strips that are easily accessible; outlets we’re all used up with lamps or tvs.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 June 2023
Alexandra, thank you for sharing your experience with us, we're so pleased you enjoyed our home and its location! It's good to know you thought our kitchen was well-stocked as well. We appreciate your valuable feedback as we see it as an opportunity to improve. Our local manager assures us that they will work with the owner to better accommodate power access in the bedroom. We enjoyed having you as our guest and we hope to host you again.

Wonderful!!

Great house, amazing views! Perfect location!!! Will stay again! My only negative is the balcony slats going from the living room to the downs stairs are to wide. Our 18 month old granddaughter nearly fell through them to the stairs below. My husbands quick action saved her from the fall. We placed chairs in front so she could not go near them again.

Cozy Beachhouse That Needs A Bit of TLC

This house reminded us of vintage OBX and we absolutely loved the layout and design of the house, the pool area and ease to beach, and the views and sounds of the surf were exactly what we were looking for. Our family of 11 have been coming to OBX every year since 1979 - Avon is one of our favorite locations. Please note that even though we loved the comfort of this home, the owners should now invest in the general upkeep of the property- it is time! if needed fixes and updates are made, we would definitely book this house again. ******* Family from Virginia

Great view but in need of some TLC

The views of the ocean were amazing. We stayed right after the beach restoration was complete so there was a large dune with no boardwalk or steps that was difficult for older guests to navigate. No instructions on how guests were to cross the dune. Large dining table was nice with spectacular views. There were lots of little issues with the property that need work. Most doors did not lock. Curtains were down in one room and left on the bed. One toilet was not flushing. Freezer was hard to open and close. Main floor appeared to have been painted and renovated recently. Lots of sand all around the property so even the most careful guests brought sand I to the house. Struggled with the property management company making the issues satisfactory and settled for fixing the toilet two days into our stay. Late check in at 6pm effectively wastes a day of vacation and does not help with addressing problems with the house timely.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 June 2023
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us, Jennifer. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at our magnificent home with its' exceptional views. With the excellent beach location comes a lot of sand and we apologize for any inconvenience this caused your party. We would like to note there are walking paths across the dunes approximately every 50 yards or so. It is always our goal for guests to be able to use all amenities our homes have to offer, and sincerely apologize that you did not have that experience. Thank you for reaching out to our reaching our team to report these concerns, we are glad that we were able to have the lavatory facility serviced and apologize the curtain rod was not replaced during your stay. We have since rehung the curtain and inspected the door locks as well as the freezer door, all of which are functioning properly. Our team strives to provide all of our guests with the best vacation possible, and we are sorry if our standards were not met during your time with us, and we do appreciate you allowing us this chance to improve. We hope to have the chance to better impress you soon!

A little lacking for the astronomical price we paid

The house layout and location were fine but lacked some thorough maintenance attention. Vacasa’s performance was one star, however, as I called three times to report various items and spoke with very pleasant folks who promised I’d be contacted within an hour. Never received the first call. Among the items I called to report were: two sliding glass doors that could not be locked; a freezer that was difficult to open with an ice maker that could not be shut off; a toilet that quit working; bathroom towel racks broken off the wall; multiple lights throughout the house that were apparently burned out; only one small trash can among the three bathrooms; no broom; deteriorating outdoor seating; and the curtains ripped out of the wall meant to cover a sliding glass door. I’ve rented homes in much better condition for half of what I paid for this. Unfortunately, much of this could have been simple fixes if Vacasa had followed through with their promises.

Very disappointed

The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the location. Items on the listing stating they were onsite or included were not there. Walked into what looked like a half done housekeeping day. The bunkbed kids room and most importantly the master bedroom were not ready -master bathroom obviously had not been cleaned.....hairs on the floor, you could feel the dust/dirt layer in the tub. And no towels in the Master or for the bunk bed room. We did get towels, but over 24 hrs after we checked in- We also were greeted with atleast 8 cockroaches, some dead, some alive. We are from FL so we understand that if you leave doors open they will come in- however. If the property is cleaned,vacuumed and pest control services are part of the upkeep this should not be an issue when entering the property on the first day. We also think you should be honest and update the photos on line to reflect the mold/mildew growing around most of the air vents. Ceiling finishings cracked and missing. I understand it's an older home but atleast be honest in regards to the age and lack of upkeep- or adjust charge accordingly

Hi Kristin, we are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your visit. We are sorry that the home was not fully prepared to our usual standard. We appreciate that you reached out to us so that we could bring towels to you. We left towels as discussed by the entry of the home. We have regular pest control at our home. Unfortunately, there are many water bugs on the island and sometimes they will get inside. Rainy weather especially can bring them in. The home is closed for the season and undergoing cleaning and updates including the vents and humidity in the home. The owner will also be replacing the sliders and other concerns. We hope to have the opportunity to impress you in the future.

Upsetting

For the amount of money spent in our favorite place in the world we expected to run seamless as every year has. We were told we would be notified if early check in was available and never was notified! We showed up early and was able to gain access to the home. Upon arrival the home had numerous broken items, furniture etc and the house was left filthy but had a note from the cleaning staff that it was a clean and to enjoy our stay. We made numerous attempts to reach out about the broken items and the cleanliness of the home. Day four into the stay someone reached out but stated to return the call within a few mins as they would be off for a few days. We called back and received the answering machine and didn’t receive a return call back during the remaining days of our stay! The pool was previously flooded a few weeks prior to our stay which left the pool lights and some of the amenities non working along with the pool pumping system. The outdoor shower was left with a foot and a half of sand that my mother shoveled out herself so she can enjoy her outdoor shower without becoming all sandy. The house is very outdated and un-maintenanced. For the the amount of money spent I would take my business else where and highly do not recommend booking through vacasa even though we booked via vrbo who utilized vacasa for this home. Minus the house of course the obx was breath taking as always and will forever hold a special place in our hearts!
