Home Sweet Home!

My family from NY and Fl met at the Virgina Dare as a half way point to celebrate Christmas together. It was so welcoming and felt just like home upon arrivalas. Spacious to fit 7 adults and 4 children with an endless amount of activities to do, before we even left the kids asked if we could come back! So close to the beach and the grocery store. Looking forward to going back!!!

This home was an excellent choice for our annual "week at the beach". Sherry was very helpful and provided a ton of information about the house, amenities, the area and things to do. The house was everything we hoped for and was true to the description and pictures provided on the website. If we don't go to Hawaii, our home, next Summer we will return here.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar 2020
Dave, Thank you so much for your review. It means allot to Joe and myself to hear that our home and efforts have worked so well for you and your family vacation. Wow, a home in Hawaii sounds up there too on great vacation spots! We look forward to having you rent Virginia Dare again. Warm Regards, Sherry & Joe

Love, Love, Love Virginia Dare

We have been coming to Virginia Dare for four years and couldn't love it more. The house is beautifully equipped with everything you could need and oh so comfortable. The views of the ocean and pool are wonderful and the access to the beach is just steps away. Included is a linen service that makes it so easy to just pack up your bathing suit and flip flops and you're on your way to a great vacation. The owner has always gone above and beyond in answering questions and the included concierge service, Shore Details is so helpful. When our family arrives we just all say "Ahhhhhhh....." and relax.

This is our favorite house!!!

My family's favorite vacation spot is the Outer Banks and we have stayed at many houses on Hatteras over the years. Our stay at Virginia Dare was the result of learning about VRBO and I will never go back to going through realtors. Working with Sherry to schedule our stay was so nice - much better to make plans with a person and not a business. In addition, when we were in the house, we felt more like we were at a "friend's" house and appreciated how much their love of the house came through in all the careful attention to details, family pictures and great amenities. Of course, the closeness to the beach, shopping and pool and hot tub were all spectacular and what we've always looked for in a house. We will definitely stay at Virginia Dare again - it will be nice to come "home" to a familiar house in summers to come.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar 2020
Wow, what an awesome review! Thank you. We are so glad you felt so at home in ours'. We share your love of the OBX and all it's beauty. We look forward to having your family stay at Virginia Dare again in the future. It is so nice to come back to a home you know.

Great House!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was great! We really enjoyed staying here. We had 10 people vacationing together and had plenty of space to accommodate us all. The house was clean and well furnished. The kitchen was very well stocked and had extras like 2 coffee pots, blenders and a crock pot. The decks had nice views and plenty of seating. Beach access was an easy minute walk right across the street. Shore Details was a great company to work with and includes beach gear with this rental, which was great not having to pack our own chairs and boogie boards. Linens were also included which is a huge plus. Overall, we were very happy with this rental and would recommend it to anyone considering an Outer Banks vacation.

vacation 2013

Our stay at Virginia Dare was wonderful. We are definitely saving this vacation packet information hopefully to return next year. The house is clean and everything it claims to be. A well stocked kitchen, which is very important, and comfortable, cozy furniture throughout. There is plenty of comfortable dinning space, both inside and out on the deck. We ate at the picnic table on the upper deck for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can see, hear, and feel the ocean breeze from both deck levels. Beach access, being directly across the street, is literally minutes away. There is a nice yard area behind the pool making walking my dog Jack and playing some ball with him very convenient. The pool is fantastic and the hot tub is wonderful. We had a 6, 4, and 2 year old with us so the pool got plenty of use. A pool table and foosball table inspired some healthy competition between some of the adults. What was very helpful is that the owners are very accommodating. Sherry gave a great overview of the area with highlights of places to see and things to do. Personally, I’d recommend the Madd Crabber for sea food. Thanks Sherry. Your beach house is wonderful. We all had a fantastic time.

Best Vacation Ever!

Previously, my family vacationed in Myrtle Beach and had a terrible experience with the house we rented through VRBO. I was nervous booking through VRBO again, but the Virginia Dare completely surpassed our expectations. I sincerely appreciated working with the owner to rent this house for a week. I spoke to the owner several times to ask about the house, amenities, pool, beach access, and the owner was very happy to answer all my questions. The photos accurately depict what you will rent, but almost do justice to the beauty of the property. This house is amazing! Not only did we have a completely clean house, with brand new linens on the beds, the house was stocked with full cabinets of glassware, utensils, Tupperware, pots, pans, etc. All the items in the house were completely clean and ready to for us to use. The concierge service had the Virginia Dare spotless when we arrived. We also used the concierge service to have the house completely stocked with food when we arrived, so we could avoid a trip to the grocery store when we arrived. The house is directly across from the beach ramp too, so we were able to enjoy the beach everyday. This house is also pet friendly, so we were able to bring our dog for the vacation. Our trip to OBX was amazing and when we travel here again, we will definitely book the Virginia Dare again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: FANTASTIC TRIP! Property: has everything you could possibly need to enjoy your vacay. everyone in our crew found beds comfy. owner has added fabulous touches from a trashcan out at the pool, to luggage stands in each bedroom, to wooden dow rods in the sliding doors for extra security, to gates on the decks for your furry friends. Right across the street from public access to beach. pool is secured well to keep little people safe. 2 blocks from foodlion and fresh seafood. property is clean and well equipped. the decks need a little tlc. pool liner is a little worn. there is some regular beach wear and tear. The property itself is a great location, clean and is the first we have rebooked in many years of vacationing on NC coast. Realty Co.: by far hands down best company I've ever rented from 50% of the reason we rebooked for 2020. easy to work with, responsive, organized, efficient...I cannot say enough good things. only thing this house is missing is a screen porch an a vaccum. Looking forward to 2020.

Beware! Property is a Brindley Beach property, a company I will never deal with again due to their deceptive business practices. After booking & paying for the trip & trip insurance through Vrbo, Brindley contacted me directly requesting my payment. Confused, I checked my card and saw that 1 of the 2 Vrbo pending charges was gone; the other smaller one posted. The Brindley agent said that my card would not go through for some reason & I needed to pay them directly after signing the lease. She did not respond to my mention of strangeness that I had plenty of remaining credit & the trip insurance fee cleared. I signed the lease; paid the deposit including a dog fee that was not mentioned on the Vrbo site. After paying Brindley the final deposit, I realized I had not received any info about my trip insurance. After several phone calls with Vrbo & Brindley, I discovered Brindley cancelled my 1st deposit because they do NOT accept payments thru Vrbo, my trip insurance was also cancelled, AND that the posted Vrbo charge was Vrbo's booking fee! (A fee I could have avoided had I booked directly through Brindley.) I was also told that I should have purchased trip insurance through Brindley - I would have done so had I known mine thru Vrbo was actually cancelled - but it was too late now because I had already paid in full. Property especially kitchen was dirty, requiring several hrs of cleaning & poorly maintained - old sagging mattresses, strong dog urine odor, etc.
