Reviewer Comments:
The location of the house is awesome. It's very close to two piers, the bypass, plenty of restaurants and activities, Manteo, etc. The dune to get to the beach appears recently re-built and is very large, so you have to walk to the public access to the right when leaving the pool area. You can also just use the public access as it's an easier walk. However, the house was filthy upon arrival which the management company sent back a crew the next day to re-clean. The Kiddie Pool looks like it's never been cleaned and appears to have a leak - we avoided it like the plague. One of the middle floor's bathroom showers drains through the sub-floor and into the car-port, so there is definitely some bad plumbing and mold going on throughout. Large pool was fine, but was also dirty - likely due to just being oceanfront and the winds blowing in sand and crud. Carpet is tattered and needs replacing, some electrical outlets don't work in various rooms, some rooms are missing privacy blinds on the sliding glass doors, some of the ceiling fans don't function, and overall the house is in need of some repair. Driveway is tiny, vegetation overgrowing parts of the paved driveway, and hard to park all cars for a big family. We found that we loved the location, but did not care for the house and wouldn't rent it again. We've found other homes are equal or less cost than this house with the same amenities, but other homes are much cleaner and overall a higher quality property. Also, our access code for checkout changed at 9:30am, not the agreed upon 10am per contract, so we were lucky we had someone inside when that happened to open the doors for us so we could continue moving out. Property management is responsive via text message, but only the cleanliness was addressed after reporting a poor condition. We felt the house hasn't received proper attention and the pictures are misleading. Stay somewhere else for the cost. 1 star for condition/cleanliness, 4 stars for location.
