About this property

Dog-friendly home with private hot tub, pool, & pool table

You will certainly find more than Somethin' Fishy at this 3,500+ square foot (including two screened porches) Kinnakeet waterfront home. Located on the quiet sound side, Somethin' Fishy is a short jump over the pond to the beach access. If you'd prefer to have fun on the water rather than in it, book a fishing charter and relax as you cast a line and embrace the scenic views.

If the fish aren't biting at the lake, try a refreshing dip in the private 32 x 14 cement pond (pool). The ground level has a carport, fish cleaning table, under-house entry, bath, and two bedrooms (bedroom one with pyramid bunk and bedroom two with a double plus trundle) with kid's TV. The elevator takes tired sportsmen to the huge octagon-shaped bedroom number three with a king bed, adjacent large bath, and covered deck on the second floor adjacent to a furnished recreation room with pool table, smart TV, wet bar, and full fridge. Main king bedroom number four has a private bath and deck access. Main bedroom number five is a suite with a king, private bath, walk-in closet, desk, and access to screened porch with a bubbly hot tub. The third level has a unique octagonal tower room with TV/DVD plus surround sound overlooking a whale of a room with tall ceilings, a half bath, lavish furnishings, and accesses two sundecks. Cook up Somethin' Fishy in this well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar, nearby dining table, and screened porch. End your day of fish tales by snoozing in main queen bedroom six with a private bath.

Loved this home!

We enjoyed staying at Somethin’ Fishy! The pool area is perfect size for a family, the top floor is open concept with plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen fridge doesn’t have much room and the TVs are a bit tricky to figure out but not the end of the world. We will more than likely stay again!

Week stay

We stayed for a week, the property and house was very nice. Only complaints were the tvs not working properly in a few of the rooms and the beach chairs that were provided are all broken. There were small things like the pool table being stained but that’s nothing big and the table upstairs is alittle sticky. When we were checking out the cleaning lady was not very pleasant and it definitely was a weird encounter, she put the comforters back in the beds (not sure if they got cleaned) and left the sheets where we all piled it up as told. Overall, this is a great area and we did enjoy our stay, we just wanted to leave a review for others!

Best proximity to beach!

Proximity to beach is the best in this house. Great pool for family time. Elevator is great to carry things to kitchen and upstairs bedrooms. Octagon room is great for indoors family time in evenings. Very quiet cul-de-sac. Close to Food Lion, Duck Donuts, ice cream shop and souvenirs “Wings” store.

Family time 2022

Loved the set up of the house. The proximity to the beach is fantastic. Loved having a pool and many decks for the family to spend time in. Loved the octagon room for family time with a beautiful view. The elevator was a great plus as the kitchen is on the top level and we cooked many family meals

Nice relaxing family vacation!

We really enjoyed the house and had a great time in the OBX. There were a few minor things that could have been fixed in the house but overall nothing to stress over. The house pretty much touched base on every thing we needed, baby gates, booster seats, tons of pans, dishes etc...

The beaches and the locality and the restaurants and off-the-beaten-track was excellent

We were not impressed with the cleanliness of the facilities , Linens were left from the prior people on the floor on the second level ,pool was not clean, frigerator had a leak which led to small amounts of water on the floor which were slippery ,rusty utensils and were hard to find , microwave door handle was broken and not fixed properly, had to get propane for the grill we only used twice nails were sticking up out of the boards on the rails and the decks , needs to be updated especially for safety factors

Vacation 2021

Every thing we needed was at the house. The response to a trouble call was quick and professional. But the fee for cleaning was high and we found trash underneath tables and sofas. And we were asked to remove sheets from beds.

It wasn't like it use to be

We stayed there a couple of times before. Love the elevator. However there was a bed that was broken in 1/2 and when you sat on one side it sunk to the floor, The stand alone ice maker was leaking, I did call maintenance about it. One bedroom smelled like a wet dog.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 June 2023
Hi Carol! Thank you for your review. We are so sorry for the issues you encountered with the bed, ice maker, and odor. We have ordered a new box spring for the bed to address this concern. It appears that the box spring had been broken by the previous guests. We are so sorry about this! We also had our maintenance technician come to check on the ice maker leak. No leak was found. We will be sure to have the bedroom deodorized for the wet dog smell. We appreciate you bringing these items to our attention. We hope to host you again in the future!

Family fishing trip

Overall not a bad house for the price. A few things could have been better. Some propane in the gas grill and access to the downstairs bathroom or at least a heads up before we arrived that it was going to be out of commission for our entire 2 week stay would have been nice. Home was well used which made having our dogs along not as much of a worry. Deer roaming the neighborhood was pretty cool and the location was very convenient to grocery store, local shops and restaurants
Response from VrboOwner on 21 June 2023
We're delighted to hear that you had such an overall great time, though we regret that there were some items that prevented you from fully enjoying your vacation experience. We deeply apologize for the miscommunication regarding the downstairs bathroom. We have passed along your feedback to our local manager so they can correct this for future guests. Thank you for letting us know there is room for improvement and we hope we have the opportunity to host you for a more comfortable stay.

Needs repair but pretty nice

The roof had a bad leak that caused a hole in the ceiling. There was some sort of leak on the first floor that dropped onto one of the beds. Maintenance did come the first time we had issues but nobody ever showed up for the second leak. The house is in a great location. The walk to the beach is about five minutes and the grocery store is a quick drive away. The house was very spacious and fit all of our party well. The pool is much bigger than we expected and the hot tub was amazing! We really loved this house, if the repairs for the leaks are made we would absolutely stay here again.

Cozy

Overall house was well spaced and big enough for our large family. Bedrooms were well kept and cozy. I don't like to complain but matressess should be replaced. House was very close to the beach and local stores. Development is very warming and neighbor friendly. A few things that the property management should pay more attention to: overgrown plants on deck to lake, the pool light is out, lights to walkway on lake and around pool and a few flood lights as well.I personally cleaned the grill upon arrival, it was disgusting and the grill does not work properly, should be replaced. Again the house was beautiful just a few things that could be kept up with for the amount vacationers pay to stay here.

Party of 8 adults, teens, a two year old, 2 dogs. Location was great easy walk to the beach, not too overwhelming carrying things. We read the reviews prior to staying and we’re not expecting amazing cleanliness & post hurricane understandably more short staffed however I want to give a few things as a heads up for the price of this house- they have failed to keep up with the property. We found a rotten banana, leftover goldfish next to the bed in the drawers, dirty dishes, and dishwasher full from the previous family. Sand in both a hot tub and pool, including on the pool table. There was broken doors left mops upstairs that were dirty on the outside deck. My husband cut his hand on the door frame because it was bent off hanging. Rusted off broken doorknob to deck. The mosquitoes were so horrible we couldn’t enjoy the pool. multiple boards on the pool deck that were sticking straight up so we had to be vigilant with kids. grill caught on fire trying to make steaks& had to use the fire extinguisher, however they brought a new grill immediately the next day without issue so communication with that was great. Very, and I mean very minimal things provided** There was good dishware and pots and pans however, no basics. The dishwasher tabs were left over from the previous family, there was one dish towel. Overall would stay here again for the basic price but do not expect full relaxing there’s things to be vigilant about and cleaning to do. Love that it was dog friendly though.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the location and appreciated the dog-friendly aspect of the home. It’s also great that our local team was able to promptly replace the grill after the issue you experienced. We sincerely apologize for the cleanliness and maintenance concerns you encountered during your stay. Your experience with leftover food, sand in the hot tub and pool, broken doors, and other issues is certainly not what we strive for, and we completely understand how these things impacted your ability to fully relax. The safety concern with the door frame is especially troubling, and we will be sure to escalate this to our local team immediately to ensure it is addressed. Thank you for your understanding regarding the post-hurricane staffing challenges. We truly appreciate your patience and your honest heads-up about the areas where we need to improve. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us enhance the guest experience and maintain the quality our guests expect. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again and provide a much smoother, more comfortable stay.

Air Conditioning Needs Replaced

The house is older and shows wear, but has everything you need. The air conditioning on the second floor needs to be replaced. It kept freezing up and stopped working. We called twice to have it looked at. After the second call, when it happened again, we would turn it off, wait for it to thaw and turn back on. We had to do this at least 5 times during the week. It would not cool the second floor below 75.

We have sent your feedback to the local staff for further review. We appreciate you letting us know there is room for improvement and will work diligently with the homeowner to make any updates. We look forward to hosting you for your next vacation!
