Location of house to the ocean was terrific.Pool was wonderfully refreshing.Kitchen utensil's, ice cube trays, baking sheets were in bad shape.Not provided - trash bags, foil, pot scrubbers, beach towels & extra toilet paper, People might want to know:34 steps (up/down) to walk on the wood boardwalk to the beach. People with mobility challenges should know this.33 steps from 1st level (driveway/pool) to 3rd level (kitchen/living-room)...is challenging to bring luggage/food into the house.

Pros: The views are absolutely stunning and the pool and hot tub are a great bonus and wellmaintained. The beach is quiet and not too crowded. Check in process was good and seamless. Cons: House definitely could use some TLC especially on the inside. We had a hard time with the outside shower. Beds and furniture not too comfortable. We couldn't get the TV in the master bedroom to work. All in all the views and pool were great. Would probably not go back to this particular house but it was our first time using VRBO for renting in the Emerald Isle area. Glad we gave it a try!

Fabulous views!

This was our second time staying at Ocean Panorama. The house is in a great location. The views are amazing. We all enjoyed the pool area and hot tub as well as the beach. The house is stocked with almost everything we needed. The owner is great at communication. It was hard to leave.

Respite before wedding...

We were looking for a week of R&R before our daughter's wedding the following weekend. Liked the location and view most of all -- lots of birds on the beach and in the reserve. Quiet neighbors and relatively few people on the beach. Nice to have the pool and hot tub as the ocean was pretty rough during our stay. Great beach walks. Host was quick to respond when we had question/issue with the hot tub. House is as advertised.

Lovely view of the ocean

We really enjoyed walking on the beach with our doggie. The house has huge windows right onto decks and the ocean. I was able to have coffee on the top deck, then another time, just enjoy the sun - before the big snow storm! Thanks, Dan, for your wonderful communication.

Our private fun getaway

This property has everything! A pool, oceanfront, and very private. We also could bring our dog, who is part of the family. They host was great! Lots of places to go to eat and see, if you want to. A perfect place just to sit and relax and watch the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We definitely recommend it.

Panoramic A+

What a view, i've been visiting this Island for 55+ years and this was the best view of them all, a front row seat to the beach, ...while the house may not be a " luxury" accommodation, the location certainly is, it was clean and everything was in working order, the Hot Tub was nice to have in the cool evenings, and the pool although not heated was enjoyable during the day...the deck was fantastic w/ shade if necessary, so overall I hope we can return next year at this same time...it was a sunny 72-78 degrees w/ some breeze which is perfect in my opinion! This was a great value vacation !

Beautiful views and easy access to the beach. The pool and hot tub are great. House is a bit dated and the beds, besides the master, are not the most comfortable. Location and great communication with the owner make up for the few deficiencies.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Hess

Host profile image
I have been in the eastern Carolina area for over 30 years having been bought here via the US Marine Corps back in 1989. I have since lived in GA and NC with my wife, but now make our home for at least half of the year, here on our wonderful outer banks island.

Why they chose this property

Ocean Panorama lives up to its name, even though I have owned this property for almost 10 years now, I still cannot get over the incredible views of the ocean and sound from main living area of this home. The beach is essentially private with very little traffic on this part of the beach due to the Roosevelt Preserve that you can see in the pictures. This gives a wonderful private almost deserted feel to the beach. There are of course other people on the beach, but even on the 4th of July this is very slightly populated. The short walk to the beach and the private pool and spa makes this a wonderful place for family and friends.
