The property was dirty from top to bottom including a trash bag full of unwashed linens found in one room, towels were inadequate and the washer unreliable. Owner/manager was unable to visit and help in a timely manner so we did laundry and cleaned the place. The location was great.

Our stay was just OK. The check-in process was difficult because the owner didn't provide the check-in instructions so we had to hunt them down and finally got in touch with them 2 hours after check-in time. We actually had to call the realtor who was selling the property in order to get through to the owner. The house has a lot of issues. For example, there are places where the subfloor is gone so the floor sinks in, the kitchen faucet is not properly attached and has low pressure, the upstairs shower didn't have hot water, and some of the lights and outlets don't work. But it was clean and had lots of room and generally baby friendly. The location was great as we could walk around the town and we're close to the docks where our family had a boat.

Check-in was a delayed response from the host, which required me to go through Vrbo to make the connection to the host for the check-in instructions. However, the kitchen was clean and organized.

The host added some nice touches to the property such as newer dishes, towels, and board games. The property did have issues with light switches behind doors, doors that wouldn't close, freezer seal falling off, kitchen faucet not attached to counter, fan in main room not working, etc.

Quirky coastal architecture as expected. Beds were larger than photos. Air conditioners were excellent. Close to everything. Was surprised to note the abundant televisions, plentiful linens and towels and three convertible sofas.

Great Location

This is a great in town Oriental location. You can walk to everything. The house has large spaces. The dining room and bathrooms are very roomy. However, the finishes leave much to be desired. If it is a bunch of friends gathering to have fun and you don't care if you have mismatched furniture, vinyl flooring and semi par bedding, than this is for you. However, I would not recommend this for a family. The stairs are dangerous. They have multiple steps that are irregular sizes. Could be a fall hazard for older people and children and even those that consume a little alcohol while on vacay. I had an issue with the cleaning crew that never showed up to remove the li end and clean from the previous renter. I chose to use my own best g and slept on the sofa in the dining area. None of those things were important to me, as the location mattered the most. I hardly spent any time there, other than to lay my head down at the end of the night. The management company was in touch with me but really did not seem to go out of their way to get things done. Again, I was there for a wedding up the street so none of this really mattered. I just wanted to make others aware. Also no lighting in the backyard, and no raining a on the porches.

delightful cottage

Four over fishermen stayed recently during an excellent old drum fishing trip. we have fished there over a decade. The cottage was on a quiet quaint Oriental street near the harbor. I had moderate difficulty opening lock box for key. A text via vrbo resulted in no response. The interior was clean but had a few quaint findings. There were no towels to be found along with no bar soap. Again a text was not responsive. Both items were found upon seaching cabinets and closets. The pictures show bunk beds upstairs, I failed to notice the bottom bunks were on the floor. For 70 and 80 year olds it was a challenge getting off the floor. The kitchen was well equiped and plenty of gear. The instant coffee was a minus to me. Overall it was clean, inexpensive and worked out. Again we are accustomed to hunting camp fare that is rustic and had a delightful time.

Brief stay for a family memorial

Because of the sadness involved with this trip, not a fair review. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice convenient place

The house was perfect for our fishing trip. All had our own beds. Beds were clean and comfortable. We appreciated the coffee maker in the kitchen. But, I have to mention that the loudest siren I’ve ever heard in my life is in the back yard. There was a tropical storm approaching while we were there and the siren went off at 2 a.m. and we thought it was an evacuation alarm or something. Turns out it’s just the alarm for the fire station….that would have been nice to know about. But other than that, the place was fine and suited our needs. Communication with host was great and they let us check in early with no problems. Thanks.

Beautiful Home in Oriental

The home appeared newly renovated and was very clean. It was close to everything and enjoyed walking to dinner and various shops. The neighborhood is great along with the residents.

Quiet coastal community

Oriental is a quaint sailing town within reasonable driving distance of the beaches. This house has all the amenities to make a comfortable stay far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the beach but still feels like you’re at the coast.
