Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was my family, 6 adults & 3 kids. The house was extremely clean & with many extra curricular activities. Games, puzzles, pool table, air hockey etc.. Kitchen was loaded with all kinds off cooking gadgets. 2 refrigerators was really nice. Gas grill was fine but the charcoal grill was in rough shape. Need a new one. The pool was used alot, along with the kiddie pool. Hot tub some. The large dining table was really nice for family suppers. The basement was great for the adults after the kids were in bed. Summary,the best rental I have had since we started going to Carova over 15 years ago. Highly recommended for big families. Now. Carova Cottages & Laura. There is a reason why I always rent with them for the past few stays. Everything was in order, easy booking & always there when you need help. I had a vehicle problem which involved a replacement part by a mechanic at the house. Laura worked with me,calmed me down really,and I was able to get my truck repaired & gone before the next family came in. Laura went above & beyond to work with me through my difficult situation. Carova Cottages & Solstice by the Sea. Great combination!!

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: This was a wonderful experience! The house was clean and the amenities were incredible. There was a brief issue where they forgot to include towels upon check-in, but Laura hand delivered them to us within the hour. Exceptional service! The only real complaint I had was that the volleyball court needed some tlc. It was a bit overgrown. But that is just nitpicking. Will absolutely stay here again and I recommend it to anyone who wants to just get away!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the Outer Banks and this house was perfect for our family of 12. Response to any questions were addressed immediately. Only problem is we couldn’t use horseshoes or volleyball because of so many sticky weeds. My Grandaughter ran out there with no shoes and had a ton of thorns in her feet. It needs attention.
