Had a Great time on this vacation!

The best neighborhood!

We stayed at the house behind the EMS station for years and now it is no longer available. When we discovered this house on VRBO we booked for both April and August. The house is so quiet that you can hardly hear traffic or thunderstorms. There is a doe and her two fawns that visit regularly ( just like at home). We were very content for the whole week!

Needs some tlc.

Overall good house just a few things that need addressed for ease and safety. Driveway is pretty overgrown and hard to get in and out of the car on the one side. Both bathrooms ceilings by the exhaust fan look like they are about to fall and have mold growing there. The main bathroom's shower feels like there's no floor below it and feels like your going to fall through while using it. Overall though pretty good just some maintenance issues needing addressed.
Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019
Response from VrboOwner on 29 March 2020
I am always been receptive to constructive criticism, but I inspected my home today and Mr. Pegher’s comments are incorrect. There is no mold in my home, but there was some dust around the exhaust vents which is not unusual for any property. I would never allow mold to grow in my house, since cleanliness and a healthy environment are very important to me. The vents were not falling down from the ceiling as he stated. Further, I checked the shower and the floor was solid. Both bathrooms have been totally refurbished and are in good condition. The driveway is not overgrown, but merely has natural vegetation growing adjacent to it to provide privacy from the neighboring property. If Mr. Pegher was unhappy with the condition of my property, he should have contacted me immediately during his stay instead of grandstanding after-the-fact and disparaging my property. If I had known of any problems during his stay, I would have corrected them immediately and if he was that unhappy, I would have refunded his money. Giving me a disparaging review and being incorrect in his remarks is totally unfair and unacceptable. He did not mention any of the positive things about my property such as its close proximity to the beach, well equipped kitchen and furnishings, and most importantly, a very clean house.

Location-Great, Stay-Average

This review was written during the off-season over Thanksgiving 2024. This property is very convenient to the beach. Just a 2- to 3-minute walk, and you're there! This helped a lot since there wasn't any major road to cross, just one less traveled road. The home needs upgrades: The "Welcome" mat at the door was worn out and tired. The bunkbed squeaked with every movement, so our son needed to sleep on the sofa. The kitchen needed a few more items to make it more usable. The electric stove was slow to heat. The furniture and decor in some of the rooms were outdated. The thermostat was set at 70 degrees. At night the HVAC couldn't keep up heating the home and when we woke up in the mornings it was cool in the house. Once the temp. outdoors warmed, so did the house. There were sand spurs in the carpet that we kept stepping on which did not feel good! Overall, the home would be ok to stay at if you're on a budget, especially if you have a young family. Communication with the owner was very good.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 December 2024
I was appalled this when I received your rating of 3 stars. This is the lowest rating that we have ever received. You said very little that was positive, including no comments about the nice bottle of wine I left you. You had a concern about the Welcome Mat outside the front door. Although it is completely functional, it’s faded because of the harsh Coastal conditions of intense wind, sand, sun. The bunkbed squeaked, as most do, but the lower bunk does not. The bunk bed is intended for younger guests. We prefer that guests not sleep on the sofa as your son did. You complained about the kitchen. It has a new drip coffee maker as well as a Keurig coffee maker. It also has a blender, toaster, microwave, pots, pans, kitchen utensils, and ample silverware. No one has ever complained before. I have found that the stove is no slower to heat than any others. Since I knew you were preparing Thanksgiving dinner, I checked it before you arrived. The Wolf oven in our house here on the Sound is slower to heat. You indicated that the furniture and décor in some rooms were outdated. ALL of the rooms were disclosed prior to your arrival in photos on VRBO. Evidently you did not view the pictures in the listing. You said the HVAC could not keep up at 70 degrees. Why didn’t you turn it up to a higher setting? You complained about the sand spurs in the carpet You must have tracked them in. Your comment about the house being OK for younger families is derogatory and discriminating.

Cozy, well stocked house steps from the beach!

Great house in the quiet town of Southern Shores, which is centrally located to many points of interest on the OBX. There was plenty of space for our party of 4. The house was clean with a well stocked kitchen, a large back yard and directly across from a path to the beach. The home was very cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.
