The only reason I gave 4 stars for cleanliness is due to pots and pans not being cleaned by many previous guests.

If clean, it would've gotten five stars - not all TVs worked
Absolutely loved it here, it just was not clean. The TVs in the third floor bedroom and the northeast bedroom of the second floor did not work properly. It seems the wifi connection is bad in that corner of the house. When we got there, the one wasn't even connected and we had to talk to someone about it who called the internet provider but that of course took some time. These things should be checked regularly. Guests should not have to deal with avoidable issues. The kitchen appliances have been updated, we had no issues with anything except some pots and pans should be tossed and replaced. Lots and lots of dishes, utensils, and cookware! Very helpful. They refuse to heat the pool during the summer so it was too cold. Should be heated at request since the guest has to pay for it anyway. All in all, we would stay here again.

The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Vacation Week
We expected a relaxing week and that’s the farthest thing from what we got. Let me tell you what we got:
- A grouchy neighbor yelling at kids telling them not to use the grocery and luggage lift instead of addressing the adults outside with them.
- A broken shower head on the second floor that caused a huge water leak down into the wall and into the ceiling of the bottom floor.
- This water leak required the water to be cut off overnight and part of the day. Also the power/electric had to be shut off as well to the game room for 2 days making it not usable by the kids, which was one of the main reasons this house was chosen.
- I lost a day of vacation as I had to stay at the house to be able to let the plumbers and maintenance people in and out of the house for that day.
- We were advised that maintenance would clean up the water mess from the water leak and they did not. We cleaned it up.
- We as the vacationers were the ones who mitigated the damages to the home from the water damages as the people on the phone lines didn’t know what to do and it took over a half hour or more to get anyone location the line to even come out. By that time we had found the water shut off to the house, after coming into contact with a black widow spider while doing so.
- The toilets in the house will not flush properly, specifically one on the second floor or the half bath.
And the list goes on. But what’s worse is that VRBO and Vacasa won’t address our concerns.

The house was nice and location was good. But.
The house was not very clean. First off there were old trashy beach chairs and beach toys left under house. I called vacasa they sent maintenance man to get trash and fix shower drain. Kitchen/living room floors were filthy. All sliding doors had dirt and sand in tracks. We found goldfish crackers all around the edges of room. Dirty linens still on beds. Stained up mattresses. Pool area was the worst. We spent the first morning cleaning the dirt, sand, and algae built up around the deck stairs and around pool and fence. The deck around the hot tub smelled like straight piss. I had maintenance man spray bleach all around the hot tub area to help get rid of the smell. So after we finished cleaning the house we had a great time. I’m still waiting for someone from vacasa to call me back about the situation.

Great location!!!
We loved the location of this property!!! Its close to Avon fishing pier, famous restaurants, Food lion. Rooms were spacious especially the master bedroom on the 3rd floor. It was clean and nicely maintained.
Only issue we had was the water clogging in 2 baths and when reported we didn’t get the right support back on time so that was very disappointing.

Great property, but not great host
The house is fantastic. Dated, but great for kids when you don't have to worry about messing anything up. It’s also very spacious and accommodated our 4 families comfortably. It’s directly across the street from the ocean, and very close to a grocery store, coffee shop and some restaurants. However, Vacasa is really hard to get in contact with if you are having issues. The air conditioning didn’t work the entire time we were there (it was blowing heat instead of cold air). We reached out the first day we were there, but no one ever came to fix it. The outdoor temperature was comfortable the first few days we were there, but on our last day we came back to the inside temperature being 92°. We were miserable and had to stay outdoors the whole day. I would definitely stay here again if Vacasa would do a better job at managing their properties, but all they give you is an 800 number to call and it’s usually someone foreign promising you you get with the correct person to solve the issue, but they don’t.

Anniversary OBX celebration, 2-week stay
The property is really well located, so close to the ocean, great views, wonderful pool; also really well equipped. The freight elevator was a real plus. Information about the house did not include mention of a grill or outside shower, but the house has both. We came at the end of the season, but the house really should have been cleaner. The king room next to the twin room really needs a new mattress, but the rest of the beds were very comfortable. Would like to suggest that should be blankets for all the beds in addition to the quilt covers.
All in all, thank you for a wonderful family stay!

Exactly as described
Excellent location, great accommodations, the kitchen has numerous utensils and cooking accoutrements: crock pot, panini press, etc.
One con: the bunk beds are definitely for kids only, not for grown ups.

Family Fun
Very difficult to get anyone on the phone. Received most communications by email. If you are not computer savy this is not the place to rent. When I arrived I was suppose to receive a code at 5pm for entry into property. I waited until 5:15 before I started to try and get in touch with someone since I still had not received it. I called numerous times only to be put on hold then sent to voice mail. I emailed with no luck. I finally sent a message on messenger. I got an auto response that it was not monitored on weekends. Thankful who ever monitors messanger answered me. She intervened on my behalf and said someone was going to call me, which they never did. They finally emailed it to me. It was nerve racking. I thought I had been scammed. The property needs some updating but was nice. Pool table was fun but needs repairs. Some stains on furniture need to be addressed. You can tell it had been cleaned but fans, vents, cabinets need to be wiped down. The pool was great and someone came mid week to vacuum and do maintenance. Reported broken microwave and someone arrived quickly but could not fix it. Not a big deal for us. Very well stocked kitchen. Access to beach is terrific. We had a wonderful time but not sure I would rent again at that price point I expected higher end. On a postive note we weren't a nervous reck about messing anything up. We did book this last minute because of covid and were grateful to find a place.
