Sooo many bedrooms and bathrooms. Family of 18 stayed and we didnât feel like we were on top of each other. Loved the two kitchens as well. Pool is awesome well. Short walk to the beach. Great views from the decks. Overall we loved the house.
Our family came to the OBX for a cousin reunion (all adult cousins, their partners and children) and rented this house for 4 days.
The pros about this house:
- It was large enough to comfortably accommodate our big family.
- We loved the convenient location, just a short walk to the beach.
- Easy access to some great sightseeing.
The cons:
- Two of the bunks were not made when we arrived - the mattress pads covered in hair and fuzz were an unpleasant sight upon arrival.
- Pool area needed cleaning (pool deck was dirty and very much in need of a hosing down) and many sliding doors were stuck/rusted shut.
- Extra pillows in closets did not have pillow cases on them or provided to put on.
- For the amount we paid for this house, it would have been reasonable to provide more than one roll of toilet paper per bathroom (note that 2 of the bathrooms didnât have even a roll in them) and a couple of trash bags. All in our group are well-traveled and have stayed in myriad vacation rentals - ALL of which provide toilet paper, dish liquid larger than a travel size bottle, dishwasher pods and trash bags.
We had a wonderful time together as a family but the home was lacking. Iâd give the home 3 stars and would not choose to stay here again.
