Cozy cottage in amazing location

Our family has been visiting OBX for years. Each year we rent a home in KDH. Serendipity is definitely our favorite home and location yet. We prefer smaller, cozier homes instead of the larger, multi-level homes. The interior of the home is one level; there are 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms which was perfect for our family of 4. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, dishes, coffee pots, microwave, oven, toaster, etc. There's a laundry room downstairs and the washer and dryer work well. There is central A/C which works fairly well. The location is amazing; directly on the beach and walking distance to several restaurants (Awful Athurs, Jolly Roger,) stores, and the pier. Our teenage daughters could easily walk down the beach to meet their friends at the pier every night. The house has a long boardwalk that goes right out to the beautiful, clean beach. There are 2 large decks with amazing views, which was perfect for the 4th of July fireworks, and a clean hot tub on the lower deck which was awesome. The lower level has an outdoor shower which works well. The interior of the house is casual and beachy with nice wood paneling and a fireplace (not usable for guests) but makes for cozy ambiance. There is Wi-Fi and Internet TV in the master bedroom and in the living room. There's a good amount of closet space as well. They allow up to 2 dogs. The management company is great. They're responsive and provide all pertinent information upon check in. Will be returning ASAP.

Outdated and unclean

The photos online do not really do this property justice. Looks better than it really is. Not happy with the price paid for what we got. First off, it is right on the beach which is great. Literally walk out back about 15 yards and you’re there. The areas outback are also ok, deck and upper deck. Aside from that there’s not much else positive to say. Beds old and uncomfortable, furniture musty and not very comfortable. Everything was very outdated and several things in need of repair. Repairs that had been done were janky looking and seemed thrown together. The AC couldn’t cool the home so in the afternoon it’s very hot and stale feeling. The house isn’t level so doors scrap the floor when you open them & the kitchen cabinets won’t stay shut. Appliances were all very outdated and the dishwasher when run gets the counter above extremely hot it melted food that was above it. There’s literally holes in the floor in 2 spots where you feel like you may fall through. Ants were visible and even saw some roaches. The home was not clean when we entered. Trash was found inside, dishes not clean, clothing from previous renters was found in a few spots. We paid for a linen service and they didn’t make the beds as advertised. So much else I could say but in general I would simply look elsewhere. Not sure if it was in the listing or not, but it’s on a very busy street directly behind a Target. My fault for booking and not knowing this, but it should be mentioned.

Home in need of several updates but has nice beach access

The house served its purpose for our stay and the size and space was perfect for our small family and 2 small dogs. The beach access was nice, but the house is very run down and in need of updates. For the price of the rental, I would not recommend it if you can find other availability. I waited late to find a rental and this was the only available house I could find. Ants were a constant battle on the kitchen counters and the beds were very uncomfortable. One bed was broken on our arrival. The hot tub was a nice addition. The kitchen supplies also are very outdated and several broken or not working and need replacing. The rental company did a good job of cleaning prior to our arrival.

Prime rental

The house is prime beachfront and centralized location. Very clean. Only issue we had was that there was sand in the sheets of one of the rooms. The house has alot of amenities and fantastic views. It's your own fault if you don't enjoy the stay.

Serendipity Outer Banks Vacation

The home was cozy, just right with 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms for a family of 4 adults and a big German Shepherd. The kitchen was well equipped tho we ate out a lot. We brought an extra Frypan and a couple of sharp Knives cause a previous review said the existing knives were dull. Beach access was excellent, as were the sea views from the top deck. Might be a good idea to have a sunshade there. The Pathway to the beach needs some minor weeding. Furnishings slightly dated but the ambience was cozy and very comfortable. Bring your own handsoap, and extra toilet paper, and of course shampoo, conditioner etc. We also brought extra laundry detergent, dishwashing detergent, paper towel. Those supplies are minimal and not the best quality. Supermarkets and Target close by. The only main problem we had was the weather! unseasonable low 60s and very windy! needed a few warmer jackets. I would definitively go back to this rental, and would recommend it to friends.

Quick getaway

We rented this small house two days prior to arrival and it’s just what my wife, adult son and I needed. It was as advertised, clean and well provisioned. The realty company had corrected the issues noted by the prior renter and we thoroughly enjoyed being here.

Perfect little get away

This property was the perfect little getaway for a cozy fall weekend. We came with my parents over a long holiday weekend and love the beach front views, hot tub and accessibility to the beach. The host made it very welcoming with little treats for us and our pup! Woods floors very a bit sandy but that’s expected when you’re right in the beach. Over all was cozy home!

Picture Perfect Thanksgiving retreat

Heaven for my daughters, myself, and our dogs. Every vision of what I wanted Thanksgiving to be popped from my mind to reality. I overpacked, worrying about what we might not have to cook a Thanksgiving meal. The house was very well appointed.

Great location with basic finishes

Right on the beach and also close to shops, restaurants, and activities. Great views from the decks (wear your shoes because the decks may hurt you). Washer and dryer are on-site and work well, but be prepared to go outside (possibly in the rain) to use them. The kitchen and bathrooms are very outdated. Appliances and hot tub all work well with the exception of the dishwasher which was almost worthless. The housekeeping was sub-par (dishes and silverware dirty upon arrival, etc). Overall nice place, but I wouldn’t stay here again for the price we paid.

Beachfront

Older beachfront property. One floor of living space. Open kitchen ,living and dining area. Walk out to deck with spa . Table height does not fit with chairs. Stairs up to deck with great ocean view. Nice place to relax.! Bedrooms are fine. Bathrooms are very dated and definitely need a refresher . Walkout to beach is nice. Pier about 1/2 mile walk. We arrived 9 pm. Kitchen and bathrooms were not cleaned. (Moldy toilet, toothpaste etc on counter, wastebasket full of garbage,, master bed unmade . Dirty laundry on entrance floor etc). Frustrating to say the least. Emailed then called the rental service in the morning. Also sent pics of the problems They sent a cleaning crew over to reclean the place. It was fine after that, but obviously we should not have had that experience. It may be a “Beach Shack” but needs to be a clean Beach Shack!
