An American Dream - Nags Head MP 10, Oceanfront, Pool, Hot Tub, Pets OK

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We really enjoyed the stay at An American Dream. The house is a bit more dated than some we have stayed in, but it was clean, perfectly functional and the location was awesome. Steps from the beach and a short walk or drive to most anything you need. We loved the number of bathrooms, including the bathroom out by the pool which worked great for beach/pool potty breaks. We had a dog with us and the space was great for him. The fenced pool area was perfect for a pet. We would have loved to have a second fridge on the kitchen level, but we made things work. The views of the ocean from the top deck were a morning and evening must for our crew. For the group we had (15 at the peak) there was ample space to be together and get away to one of the sitting areas if needed. This is a spot we would stay in again.

They have made many changes which make the property more desirable. Such as improved furniture, new washer, a new walkway to the new dune deck and replacing the 80's wallpaper with clean white paint. It's a very nice house. My family of 11 had plenty of room to spread out. The management really dropped the ball on the AC! When we arrived, we discovered only one of the three units was producing properly. No excuse for not having addressed the situation. No way could an inspection by management have missed the disaster about to happen. One unit was completely rotted away. I've never seen anything like it. Would love to share a picture - completely corroded. I called BR at 9 on Mon morning and they had a maintenance guy there within an hour and he had an HVAC guy there in another hour. Unfortunately the systems were too far gone for repair. They installed multiple window units by 5 that afternoon. Not a good situation but better than enduring the 95 plus heat. Praise for quick response. Not so much for allowing the situation to occur. The pool gets a lot of sand when it rains - washing down from the dune. It was clean when we arrived so obviously this is a continual problem. The kitchen could be better supplied. There are lots of plates but only heavy, breakable glasses (had to go for solo cups for the kids.) Dozens of old steak knives but severely lacking in tableware. Ice maker doesn't work. Stove not the best. Provided linens and towels are surprisingly nice. Location is excellent. Service and response was excellent. Our family had a good week enjoying the beach, pool and area. (Even the local urgent care was excellent which we unfortunatley had to visit - twice!) Would recommend!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our family had a wonderful vacation. It would have been perfect if the pool had been cleaned more than once for the fourteen days we were there. The location is perfect for many activities and great restaurants.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was big and in a good location. Several things are in a state of disrepair: Floor boards of the wooden sitting area on walkway to beach are loose and popped up.Old chairs and trash were left on the benches. Hottub not working and pool full of sand, rental manager responded via text but no one ever came to clean or fix either of these during the whole week. I notified on Tuesday. Sand got worse in the pool with 2 rain storms and no one ever came out. I sent multiple text messages. Kitchen cabinets don't stay closed. Beds in the top floor bunk bedroom all need new mattresses. I would not rent this house again.
