SN9017D- Semi-OF! With 3 BRs, Direct Beach Access, Private and Secluded!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 2nd year in this house. The beach, just steps away, is fantastic. This house has everything you need (except a washer / dryer - that would be awesome.) It's a no-fuss, on the sand, little bunker that's perfect for a small group. It's hard to find houses for 2 - 4 people near the beach, and this fits the bill.Sadly, upon arriving at the home, I had to do a lot of cleaning. I had to clean the fan, shower, toilet, and bedroom. It wasn't swept (I had to dump the vacuum twice), the tub had hair and sand, the coffee maker had moldy coffee. The carport had lots of trash. The furniture felt dirty and we covered it with sheets. This really is a great place, and should be cleaned as such.Overall, we'll be back and just hope the cleaning crew does a better job.Because of the condition of the furniture and lack of cleaning, I would hesitate to recommend this house to a friend - especially if they were first time OBXers. I'm afraid it would turn them off.

The property is what says it is. You do have to bring your own linens. Great location and the service desk of the property management group you rent from was kind when I voiced any concerns.

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: All in all, this little place had everything needed for 3 adults. One of our priorities was easy walk to the beach; this fit the bill 100%.You need to pick up & drop off physical keys from the rental office, about a half hour away from the house. The office is close to the Wright Memorial Bridge, which may alter your route.We used 2 of 3 bedrooms. The front bedroom w/ king is the old back porch which has been enclosed. It's large with two chairs, TV, king bed, dresser, and 2 standing a/c units. Kitchen was small but useable. We used stovetop, fridge, microwave, & coffee maker, all in good working order. The house comes with a good supply of plates, glasses, silverware, cooking utensils, pots, pans, and some glass mixing bowls. There is a can and wine opener.There are no linens in the house at all. The shower is very nice. Note it's quite a step in & out of the tub - larger than normal. All water and plumbing worked just fine. The tv & wifi worked great.There are 3 stand alone a/c units in the house: 2 in the main bedroom and 1 in the living area. The other 2 bedrooms each have their own window unit. If you don't like white noise, this place may not be for you. It didn't bother us, but note the house is somewhat loud with 5 air conditioners constantly running.There's no washer / dryer. This is the only reason we didn't immediately book this house again. We travel light & like to do laundry to cut down on packing. We will still consider this house when looking for next summer, but a similar place with a washer / dryer would win out for us.The outdoor shower is nice. There's a shower head and a hose for getting sand off. We used the little charcoal grill with no problems.The shining star of this stay was the location. S Nags Head is perfect for getting around. The beach is gorgeous. If you're looking for a no-frills beach stay, this is a great place. Carolina Shores is friendly and great to work with. We'

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It’s an original “salt box,” style home. The negative: Upon arriving, the carport was full of sand and when we reached to grab a chair to sit outside, all but one in the stack were cracked. The outside shower would have been useful since this house only has one bathroom, however, you would need a shovel and hedge clippers to clear out the sand piled in and foliage growing inside. The inside was not cleaned very well, but we were able to make do. The worst part was the trash under the beds from previous guests. Again, this is on the cleaners and not the house itself. The kitchen is not something we cooked in, as it had a small older stove/oven. The AC units do not keep up, however we are in a significant heat wave right now here. Also, there’s a clothes line, but no washer or dryer.The positives: We would stay again. We had a great time and it’s the perfect no frills place to hang with friends and family. Maybe we just had a cleaning crew that was tired. Cleaning beach houses is hard work. I’m somewhat local and have done it myself. The location is great. It’s a quiet street. It’s a nostalgic type of house for old beach house lovers. Beautiful wood inside and a coziness to it.
