Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
The check in was seamless and all communication leading up to our dates of travel were very effective and efficient exchanges. The rooms are much smaller than they appear in the listing photos. Additionally, the master toilet kept running and needing to be self adjusted to refill after flushing. Many closet lights did not work and beds were dressed minimally (so bring blankets). Other than those minor disappointments, the house is up to date and well maintained. The pool and hot tub were both wonderful additions to the home. The carpets should probably be replaced sooner than later. Over all a decent vacation rental option in a great area of the OBX!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
While the location and size of the property were nice, there were many other things that made the property less appealing. The internet connection signal strength was very poor. Often connection was lost. The ice maker did not work, even after a repair person "repaired" it. The clothes washer was broken until Wednesday. The dryer broke on Thursday. The hot tub water was cloudy all week. We asked to have it drained and replaced, but it wasn't done. The 1st and 2nd levels of the property were very humid. While the grill appeared to be fairly new, it was extremely dirty. The property management folks where pleasant and professional but response for repairs took too long. The management folks did say that it could take up to 24-48 hrs for repair, but if you are only renting the place for a week, two days for repair is too long. For instance, the dryer broke on Thursday, so we were unable to dry anything before we left on Saturday. We will not be renting this property again.

We faced several small issues right away: no batteries in the remotes, an ice maker that worked only half the time, weak Wi-Fi on the third floor that made group TV streaming difficult, a poorly working toaster, carpet stains, and cigarette butts plus used nicotine patches littering the pool deck upon arrival and a broken pool net. The biggest problem was an unusable washer. The morning after arrival, it failed to spin clothes and made a horrible noise while agitating. I called Outer Banks Blue immediately and submitted a work order. This was Sunday, no manager was available. They offered to launder our clothes (which we declined) but sent extra towels and washcloths. Monday I followed up and learned repair was scheduled for Weds morning. I spoke with Terry about all our concerns. He promptly sent ice,new pool net,new toaster and fresh linens. On Weds, the repairman arrived and revealed the washer issue was already known. The ordered part wouldn’t fix it, a new appliance was needed. Frustrated we weren’t warned, I called Terry again. He was initially apologetic but later called back with a different tone. He claimed someone told the repairman not to install the part, then accused me of giving that instruction. I was shocked and furious. Terry’s helpful demeanor vanished. I asked for his supervisor and left a voicemail, never heard back. We went 7 days w 16 people no washer. The situation was handled unacceptably/caused major stress, Will never use Outer Banks Blue again.
