We stayed the weekend, attending the wedding expo. The house was clean and comfortable, excellent location. Only downfall was you could hear through the walls very easily and the beds/pillows smelled old. Great value for location

Our family loved our stay here. The home was very clean and well stocked. We had one small issue which the owner responded to immediately. The location was great! It is a quick walk to the beach and there are a ton of shops close by.

Great location!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sea Sun Greetings. The house is adorable and in a fantastic location. Our *only* complaint is that you have to provide everything for yourself supply-wise, down to the trash bags. We were left with one trash bag, no laundry detergent and no dishwasher soap by the previous tenant. Come prepared and you’ll have a fantastic time!

Family getaway

This had been a first vacation in a while since Covid restrictions. We work in healthcare so it’s been stressful. Such a well needed getaway. My husband and our adult son and my teen nieces had an amazing time. Location was the best we ever had at a beach place, meaning…The cottage is located between the beach a block away and the market 2 blocks within walk distance. That made it less noisy and more family friendly. Lots of restaurants close by for adult time too. I am an avid cook and found the kitchen to be well stocked with the tools I needed. The beach space itself had beautiful sand and great waves. The dunes were close enough to enjoy an awesome kite flying experience. Most every vacation we have been on is not without a wrinkle, but the host was immediately responsive and that’s important to know when booking a VRBO. The cottage was exactly as advertised. We recommend. If you are not familiar with the area, we recommend booking things like visiting the lighthouse and such in advance.

Great Location!

We enjoyed very much our stay. It is a great location, close to beach access and within easy walking distance to great restaurants and ice cream shops. The beds are comfortable, and the open floorplan was ideal for our family of five. That said, there are some very easy lifts the hosts could do to make it a 5-star stay. I didn't notice in advance that sheets and towels are not provided, but I strongly encourage the hosts to reconsider this practice. Bringing five sets of bed sheets, beach towels, and bath towels takes up considerable trunk space. Making beds, stripping beds, washing and folding sheets and towels is exactly the type of work we're all trying to avoid when we go on vacation. Next, the hosts require guests to provide paper towels and toilet paper for the next guests, saying they hate for renters to arrive and have none of these "necessities", but don't provide them themselves. Why not? The total cost is over $500 a night, but doesn't include toilet paper? Related, while dish machine soap is provided, sponges and dish soap for washing pots, pans, sheet trays, etc. is not, so we had to go buy those items as well. Also no kitchen towels or hot pads. Providing these amenities and services would go a long way. As a restaurant owner, I sympathize with the difficulty in finding help (to wash sheets and make beds). That said, I'm also a fellow hospitality professional, and these amenities are, in my opinion, the bare minimum required in a hotel or short-term rental.

In need of some TLC

This rental was in a great location and the host was very kind, responsive, polite and willing to assist as much as could be. Having said that, we did not feel the description was 100% accurate. The home has a lot of potential but does need a bit of TLC. There was a good amount of dust in places that were overlooked ( the host offered to send a cleaning person immediately)We had trouble with the TVs connecting ( an issue that never was able to be resolved even with multiple attempts) I believe that with a bit of upgrading and TLC this home would be amazing.

Horrible experience from the Host

Booked this rental a day before as a last minute deal. The place was unhygienic (cockroach in kitchen , clothes (swim wears) from previous renters still in bathroom) along with no sheets and pillow covers (though they barely mentioned about sheets in property info but did a good job to make sure the renters miss it). After numerous mentions of lacking basic needs(No toilet paper, no hand wash etc.) they still haven't highlighted or emphasized it in there listing. The host is super rude and stopped picking up calls after talking to us twice. Terrible experience. After company review and various calls it was concluded that the property was not rentable and I moved out the within few hours with clear instructions to the host to refund the money but still haven't received it.

Perfect beach bungalow

If you're looking for a top-of-the-line brand new mega-house, move on. But if you want a legit "beach house" experience, this is the place. Cozy, simple, relaxed. Everything you need to unwind and stage as home base for a beach getaway. The house is 1/2 a block away from a public access and is just a simple 5-minute walk to having your feet in the sand. You're also no more than 5-10 minutes away from the best OBX restaurants. Nicole is so attentive and even reached out to make sure we didn't need anything from her. 5 stars!

Nice but needs updating

The property is in a great location, plenty of accommodations for a group of 8. Perfect distance from the beach. I do have a minor issue and a somewhat ethical issue. The minor issue is with the floor in the house. The owners laid LVT throughout the house, which was “glued” down, but the glue didn’t take, and therefore was extremely annoying when you walked in it. The house is dated, paneling coming off the walls, but that’s cosmetic and can be easily fixed. The ethical issue, is that I received the “house rules” after the cancellation date. Understandably, smoking, is not permitted in the house, but if a cigarette butt is found on the property, you sacrifice a deposit, which I never paid a deposit, therefore, they would just charge your credit card if they find a cigarette butt on the property. The property is on a main street towards the beach, that anyone could throw a cigarette on the property… I didn’t have a problem with cigarette butts, but if I didn’t do it, then I shouldn’t be charged for that. I made sure before I left, that there were no cigarette butts on the property. I did not know that I needed to provide sheets for all beds, it makes sense, and maybe that’s my ignorance. Thank goodness, Joe Lamb Jr and associates (daughters in-laws) helped me out with bedding. I won’t stay there again, but it’s not bad if you’re on a budget.

Cozy Home

Our stay at The Sea Sun was amazing. Very comfy cozy. We took multiple trips per day to the beach because the walk there is quite literally 2 min.!! Not to mention the distance to Harris Teeter w/Starbucks, ha! That is a short drive of maybe 0.3 miles; you could walk there too, although crossing the highway isn't exactly a chance I'd recommend. Multiple restaurants as within walking distance as well! Though we did drive to all of ours, knowing our bellies would be full of the local, fresh seafood and we wouldn't be much for walking after! We would definitely stay again and recommend anyone else choosing The Sea Sun.
