Is there a perfect beach house location? Yes this is it

The location of this property is amazing. A short walk to the beach, the best views off the deck. The house is aged but the location mores than compensates. If you are going to the beach to enjoy the beach this is the place for you.

Love this location

The house is in a terrific spot. None of the interior living room furnishings have been updated in years - they are "soft" so you sink into them. Beds are great, kitchen has plenty of stuff. Really is the location and two porches overlooking the beach that says it all.

Repeaters ....

New kitchen! Yay. Our gourp has stayed at this house twice a year for the past 3 years. We tend to stay in rather than gad about the area so the discovery of at new kitchen was fantastic. Thanks owners... Now maybe you can deal with the living room seating, it's dirty and worn and pretty uncomfortable cause it's so soft.

Great Location!

The location is tremendous. House was comfortably lived in / family comfort. As others have mentioned, living area furniture is older and not super comfortable. Understandable given the location and situation :-) However the beds were great and the abundance of towels greatly appreciated. We've already booked another stay.

Best location on Ocean Isle

This is our third visit staying at Summer Sands and we love it! At the beach, it is location first and foremost for us and you can’t get any closer than with this house. It is literally on the beach. The unit is clean, the washer and dryer is great, plenty of parking and the deck off the dining area is our favorite spot to people watch, dolphin watch or just to sit and relax. It’s an older home with not the latest and greatest gadgets or kitchen appliances but it’s functional and we love it. Again, the location is unbeatable

Best View!

Absolute best view on the beach. This is an older home and could use a few updates, we knew this going in so didn’t bother us. Air filters need to be replaced and vents were a bit dusty. Plenty of space and all appliances worked great.

Hi Julie. Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us. We're delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the amazing view.

You were wonderful guests and we would love to have you stay with us again.

Lovely location but very outdated home.

This house was the ideal location. Literally right on the beach. We could be on the deck and let our kids play in the sand. The house however, was very outdated and we had definite concerns as there was mold in the bathrooms and the front door had rust all over which was a hazard for everyone, especially our small kids. Again, perfect location but the home needs many improvements to say the least.
Response from VrboOwner on 7 July 2023
Hi, Erica! We're sorry you had some concerns during your stay. The homeowner has just replaced the front door, the bathroom issues are being addressed, and other upgrades will be done this fall. Thank you!

Annual vacation to OIB

The house suited our family perfectly. Was a little disappointed that the deck couldn't accomodate more chairs/ people. It was wonderful that sheets and towels were provided, thank you! The kitchen was fully stocked and very nice. We were told that we'd get a text if early check in was available. Some of us arrived at the house around 3:00 but didnt check the door. I arrived at 3:45, checked the door and the key code worked. It would have been nice if we would have been notified that we could get in early. Thank you for being a pet friendly house. Our dog, Owen, absolutely loves the ocean and being close to the point made for some wonderful walks and beautiful sunrises.

GREAT Location!!!

You couldn't get any closer to the beach if you tried! WONDERFUL location. I enjoyed watching the waves as I laid in bed! Vacasa personnel were very friendly and helpful. The house feels like grandma's house with it's well worn furniture but it was exactly what my family wanted. Did I mention the location to the beach??!! If you are looking for a high class modern & sleek home, this is not for you. But if you just want a great place to kick back with your family and friends and enjoy the beach, this is what you want!
