Fishing Trip Fun

This cottage is AMAZING! Absolutely beautiful, very roomy. We loved how the majority of the rooms had their own bathrooms. The elevator was a plus for us.

It was an ok stay

Overall we had an ok stay. It was close to stores and restaurants, it had majority of things we needed. But I felt like it was overpriced for some of the issues we had/saw.

Excellent house!

House is great, a little dated, but everything was great. Kitchen equipment covers about everything and double dishwashers for our large group was great! I would recommend heating the pool, it gets cold.

Eh... it was "ok"...

Gorgeous house and location, but needs lots of attention/maintenance to make it worth the price. Pool was awesome... pool table and kayaks - not so much (worn out and falling apart...). Bring your own 12-cup coffee filters; the stores were out and none provided. No keurig, so don't bother bringing k-cups. Otherwise, it was ok. Still had a great time with family!

Tough review - could be easily improved

This is a tough one. The house had some very good qualities, but not a great first impression. The pool and hot tub were great. The house is great for a large group. The listing is an accurate representation of what you get. My complaint would be more with property management. No attention to detail. Lots of little things that could be fixed. Poor effort cleaning it from the prior stay.

Overall a great OBX vacation property

Rating the Pelican’s Pad with 5 stars for meeting all our reasons for booking it: beautiful home, bedrooms/baths, living/kitchen area, elevator from parking level, accessibility, handicap friendly bathroom, seclusion, privacy, views, very nice pool, multiple beautiful decks. Great new floors throughout, dog friendly. We did have some issues but Vacasa was prompt and helpful. Cleanliness was in our opinion not matching the quality of the home. The kitchen could have better ware. But we had a wonderful vacation, spent here 2 weeks. The location is also great, close to the pier, restaurants, shops, sound pathway, you could even walk to the community pool. For a lake location, we were pleased with the absence of bugs. Thank you!

Relaxing Stay

We enjoyed our time in Avon. The photos of the house look better than the actual house as the house has definitely been lived in. We’ve stayed in OBX before and paid more for house rental, so we definitely weren’t expecting a palace for the price of this house. The top floor is beautiful with all of the windows and doors leading out to the deck. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to have the pool heated because we were told the weather was going to be too cold, but we had days in the low 70s. One of the bathrooms wasn’t cleaned when we arrived, but someone from Vacasa came to clean it for us, so that was wonderful. Also, if you are looking to fish in the water behind the house, you may want to look for a different spot. My son tried numerous times without any bites. Definitely a fine home, but not as stunning as the photos show. We are looking forward to our next visit to OBX!

It was a wonderful house with great amenities! Enjoyed the pool, theater room, pool table. It was great having almost all king beds. The only feedback I have is that there were some much needed kitchen needs. additional forks, tupperware, bottle opener, kitchen mitts, pot holder, dish towel, etc

Excellent home!

I have been renting at OBX for over 20 years and have probably been in a dozen different houses. Pelican’s Pad is very near the top! The pool and the cabana with a refrigerator were very nice. Beds and furniture were very comfortable. High recommended!
