You CAN have it all at 'Shark and Awe'! Not your typical beach cottage, this property was featured in the Outer Banks Parade of Homes and was a finalist.

This fabulous Outer Banks vacation rental has a salt-treated Private Pool, Hot Tub, Rec Room, and three Master Bedrooms all in a beautiful, natural setting. Kids of all ages will enjoy their time here with plenty of equipment for the little ones, and activities for all ages. The kitchen and dining area are outfitted for families to prepare and enjoy meals together with ample seating. Spend the day at the beach, splash and play in the private pool, enjoy movie night or the big game on one of the TV's (or bring your own video games for extreme game night). Bring your basketball for a game of one-on-one, or bring those bikes for miles and miles of riding along quiet streets. Community Amenities Available. Beach access is very close by at the crosswalk with traffic signal.

1. No gas for stove and fireplace.2. The edge of the area rug in one bedroom was curled up, creating a trip hazard.3. There were three remote controls for the TV and no explanation for how to use them other than for guests to use existing personal accounts/subscriptions. Some type of basic service should be available.The accommodations were good and the space was comfortable. Some notes related to the HVAC system were unclear/confusing. Would prefer dealing with an owner host rather than a large rental management firm.

Location Cleanliness Ease of Check InWe enjoyed the place. We may not stay there again; two people don't need four bedrooms. We almost didn't rent this place.Gave my CC to VRBO to hold the rental, immediately received a contract - asked to pay "outside of the VRBO platform, which you should never do. I researched the rental company to ensure it was legitimate—the Outer Banks Blue rental company. Fortunately, they are. Likes/Loved: Short walk to the beach. Close to restaurants. Quiet neighborhood. Corner lot - lots of privacy. Large parking area (six cars easily). Living room, kitchen, dining area - lovely. Loved the fireplace. Good beds. Plenty of dishes, pots and pans, large bowls for salads, and cooking utensils. There is a Krups coffee pot, a regular coffee pot, a toaster, a blender, and a KitchenAid. There were 2-3 beach chairs. This place is charming.Dislikes (if you rent here, come prepared): Only one white towel per person. I have long hair, and without a 2nd towel, it is hard to dry off and to dry my hair. No liquid dish soup. No beach towels. No coffee filters or even a few Krups coffees to get you started. Teeny-tiny bar soaps. Very few hand towels. The pool area was a bit tired and shabby. Although if my grandkids were with me, they wouldn't have cared. They provide the minimum: 1 toilet paper roll per bathroom, not one extra. No Kleenex anywhere. Only one additional garbage bag for the kitchen.

Very nice property, good pool, nice decks. Hot tub smelled like way too much chlorine was used, was unusable. Short easy walk to the beach. Convenient distance to grocery and shops.

There were places with mold throughout the house. Multiple of us left feeling under the weather.
