We were disappointed in the cleanliness of the house. We brought our concerns to the owner and her reply was “ I saw it after the cleaners left And it was fine”. Cheezits on the floorChildren’s underwear under the bedDirty dishes in the stove and dish washerMold in the ventsHorrible patch job in on of the bedroom rooms and after it rained the “patch” filled with water and was ballooning. We moved out of that room and doubled up in another. Beautiful location, dirty house. ##### Dionn C.

Elevator was a plus, the incline on the stairs is daunting! Kitchen was well stocked and spacious. A few of the mattresses were could use updating or at least a mattress topper for comfort. All in all it’s a rental property on the beach, coffee in the morning watching the dolphins is worth it ##### Stephanie D.

We had everything we could need at the house and the owner was quick to check in on us apon arrival and made herself available for anything we might need. Folks who complain about every fit and finish are not enjoying thier vacation like they should. We will definitely be looking at this property again, if still available, the next time w e head to the beach. It was a true pleasure. ##### Daniel L.

The beach had a lifeguard right out front. There is no crowd and a ton of surfers to watch in the area. The house was clean. No sheets or linens are provided so be sure to arrange that ahead of time or bring them. Croatan is really family-oriented so you need to drive to any bars or restaurants, but that's what we were looking for. Overall amazing stay in a lovely home. We'd stay again for sure. ##### Anne L.

My mom loved the elevator and enjoyed watching the ocean from the deck on the third floor. The house is beautiful, clean, and has great views of the ocean! It is only a short walk to the beach using the home’s personal walkway. The beach is very private since it is disconnected from the boardwalk. We also loved that we were able to bring our pets! Lori is a great and communicative host. We had the best time and would definitely come again! ##### Deborah W. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stacie E. 27 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great location but needs serious updating The location was perfect-close to the boardwalk but with a relatively private beach. The house itself needs significant renovation and maintenance. The gate going to the beach fell off the cement wall. The middle bedroom on the second floor had a serious leak which puddled on the floor. Drawers and stair handrails were loose and the deck railing was loose as well. The stove was difficult to light. The tiles in the master bathroom were coming up. The walkway to the beach was wavy and splintered. There were many ants in the kitchen and roaches too. There was a heavy mold smell on the first floor. ##### Stacie E. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ginny F. 2 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Great location for bringing in the new year, 2024. AMAZING LOCATION! The elevator was particularly helpful with this home's four floors, as four of the five of us had various levels of mobility. The interior is dated, but functional. Queen-sized beds were advertised, but were really only full-sized. The king-size bed on the fourth floor was great. The 5 1/2 baths were modern and a plus during our stay; although, one of the second floor bathrooms did have an unsecured shower curtain. Conveniently, there were TV's in each bedroom; but one of the second floor rooms had a non-working television. The ice maker and dishwasher did not work; so, prepare to buy ice and wash dishes by hand. The kitchen was generously stocked with dishes, silverware, glassware, coffee makers, seating, and a FANTASTIC VIEW! The third floor deck was a high point with the wonderful ocean and moon and dolphin run views. The easy beach access and good shelling just feet from the cottage made our stay very fun. ##### Ginny F. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Paul B. 15 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Great Location, Bad House I will start with the good points about this house. It is in a convenient location, has a great view of the ocean, and the A/C, Wi-Fi and appliances worked. Cleanliness - it was terrible: cobwebs hanging from the ceiling; mold growing on a glass top table; the entire ground floor level smelled like mold and mildew; we had to wipe down all the stair handrails as they were sticky and dirty; the 2 grills were rusted, greasy, disgusting and unusable. Equipment - furniture was damaged with tape repairs; glass top dining table was not attached to the base; kitchen glasses were chipped and dangerous to use; outdoor toys were broken and rusty; Teflon coating on pots and pans was gone; other kitchen equipment was cheap and old; the ceiling fan in the entryway is rusted and makes terrible noises when you turn it on. Safety - the walkway to the beach is overgrown and had warped boards with rusty nails sticking out; broken and damaged pavers on the back patio; holes in the walls and ceilings in multiple locations; stair hand rail repaired with duct tape; toilet paper holder missing; garage almost filled with old carpets, broken furniture and unusable equipment. This house is especially dangerous for children. We have pictures to back this all up. ##### Paul B. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nikol S. 8 Nov 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### housing for conference Well, first let me say - Lori is very responsive to your communications and needs during your stay - so do not hesitate to contact her if you need something managed. I will say that when I read the reviews last year, before renting this house and the one next door I didn't see all the reviews I'm seeing this year which seem quite neg. After staying there and reviewing recent reviews I will say the following. We had a large group 21 pp that shared two houses - we were 3 churches pooling our resources to make a local counseling conference more affordable for more pp to come. We succeeded in staying at these rentals - we could make our food on sight - the kitchen had all the utensils and bowls, and pans we needed - I don't always find that in houses we rent - it had both a perk pot and a keurig allowing for the various coffee/tea drinkers to do what they needed. these homes are aging and are used by weekly renters so things begin to happen, I do believe the owner knows about them and addressing them - further these houses are for sale. what I noticed I mentioned to the owner - for instance the cleaning service she uses didn't clean something I mentioned it and she said she would get right on it with them. I'm pretty confident the issue was resolved for the next renter - so when I say she's responsive just message her. your on the beach - house is clean - organized and we had our own school of dolphins all week - amazing. ##### Nikol S.

The owner claims the previous month’s weather prevented outside maintenance. The issues with the patio and the walkway on the side of the house are clearly more than a month old - hazardous broken/uneven slate patio, exposed nails on walkways and on piles of old wood that have clearly been there for years, walkway lights falling off the deck, exposed cords to trip on, non-code compliant steps and landings - The outside has been neglected for years and it is impossible to avoid since it is the path to the beach. A dated but charming beach house is what we hoped for on the inside but it is not much better with black mold coming out of the ceiling air vents throughout the house. While we were there it rained and 2 of the 5 bedroom ceilings leaked, significantly. The owner claimed it was odd because it wasn’t raining that hard at the time. It’s clear to see that the ceilings just keep getting repatched, but the root of the issue is not being addressed. I requested the owner come to the property or send a representative so I could show my concerns but they did not. The owner prorated a refund of 2 days when we left the property on Thursday because of the leaks. VRBO needs to do quality control on what is being offered on their platform. My recommendation is to do your research before making a decision to stay at this or any of the owners properties ##### Julie C.

Close to everything, and the neighborhood is beautiful. I loved the fully fenced yard for my dogs. I also loved that everyone got their own bedrooms. Property is dated and not very well maintained, or what I would call comfortable, or accommodating, but we spent most of my time at the beach anyway, so it worked out fine. Overall a good stay. ##### Cristy P.

Wonderful location with uncrowded beach! House is large enough to meet the needs of multiple families with plenty of space to hang out too! Host responds quickly to solve problems. Many parts of the house are beautiful and others need some cosmetic updates, but it was perfect for us! ##### Kim S.

It has been well used over the years. ##### Mary S.

In description should mention does not come with linens prior to contract. Property old with safety issue of hand rails almost causing a significant fall in. 70 yo. All issues were immediately addressed and rectified. Lori was a great host. Beautiful views and overall relaxing stay with family. ##### David L.

The beach is not crowded and we have our “own”lifeguard. We were just steps from the ocean. I could see the sunrise from my bedroom window. The elevator was a bonus being able to transport food and luggage. The house was roomy and we were all able to have our space. Commutation with our host was easy and quick. ##### Rosemary H.

There are windows and deck seating that need to be replaced, and we were surprised that we had to rent our own linens, but our siblings and families enjoyed the open layout and functional kitchen. ##### Joan H.
