There were so many spiders and earwigs throughout the house, the couch was well worn and the pool was filled with debris upon arrival. Overall a disappointing experience. For the first time we brought no beach chairs or an umbrella because every other vacation the property had them. There were no pool chairs or beach accessories available. A few upgrades or a little freshening up would made a big difference.

We are so sorry that you didn't have a great experience. It is very important to us that our guests enjoy our home. I wish that you had communicated with us about your concerns so that we could address them. We have contacted OBX Pest Control so that they can slide by the house and treat for insects. I know the weather was very wet last week, perhaps the rain drove them inside. There should have been furniture by the pool including a table with 4 chairs, 4 lounge chairs along with a few single chairs. We have never advertised providing beach chairs, umbrellas etc but do provide information on a reliable rental company in Rodanthe. Our couch is older but we have not replaced it since it is so comfortable. We take your comments seriously and will evaluate our home at the end of the season. Thank you for your feedback. Again. we are sorry you didn't have the experience that you hoped for. Steve and Debra

Beach Bliss!

The home was exactly as listed. The layout is perfect with plenty of space inside and out. It was very clean and well kept. We used a local company that delivers and picks up beach chairs, beach umbrella and beach cart. This was a great way to haul everything back and forth to the beach.

Island Time was just as great as all of the other reviews stated! Quiet location close to the beach, and convenient to grocery shopping for your week's needs. The house is clean, well decorated, and the beds are comfortable. Probably the most well-equipped kitchen I've seen in a house that size.

Excellent experience again

This is the 3rd time my family has stayed at this house as it never disappoints! The house has plenty of space and most everything you'd need for your trip. We especially enjoyed the pool this year as it was so hot and the pool was so refreshing. It is so close to the beach (1-2 min walk), so you can go down to the ocean for a bit and back to the house when you need a break from the sun. The decks are wonderful and we enjoyed the views. Overall, I would recommend this house for location, amenities, the awesome owners, and affordability. Thanks for another great stay!

House was well stocked with kitchen accessories: plates, cups, silverware, utensils, etc. Bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and had all that was needed. Beautiful view with good seating from the many decks. Great pool area, fenced in. Short walk to ocean. Highly recommend for small families looking for a cozy home feeling!
