We had a great time at the Mad Hatteras! We rented it with another family. We had ample space for all of us. We loved the access to the beach and the quick drive to lots of places of interest.

This house has a great location and set up and was great for 2 family's with kids. The top floor is spacious and comfy and the deck was great for golden hour. The bad: bugs ("midgs/mosquitos and big roaches) I have never seen that amount of mosquitos in my life. We left with atleast 50 bug bites each and the out door shower couldnt be used. There was a rusty nail on the upper deck (dangerous!). The kitchen is dated and fine but the one burner was a little fidgety to get to work. The bathroom (next to the master bed) was constantly running and stopped working the last day. VBRO stated there was a community pool and even gave us address for the pool which we were not a part of which was frustrating after getting the kids ready and excited. I spent the morning with seaside trying to figure out the misunderstanding. I will not use VBRO for their misleading postings. I would probably not stay here again.

Beach family home

Location is great! Hot tub and deck were nice. Kitchen needed some extra supplies and tlc and there were some ants and it got a bit hot at night in sleeping areas. Close to beach and we loved the outdoor showers. Good for families that don’t want to stress about keeping everything pristine all the time.
