Luxe accommodation, with some wear and tear. Beds comfortable, hot tub a treat. Kitchen very nice, but Not A Single grain of salt or pepper Other than that, only annoyance was lack of beach towels, but perhaps I missed that note.Hope to return when pool is open as well.

Had a nice week
The pool was great. Our two grand kids loved it. The house was set up well . Had everything to make ourselves at home.
We can in town for the fishing tournament. And this was just the right fit for our little crew. We enjoyed being able to have a place where we could bring our puppy with us. The pool area was nice. Maybe next time we can try it out in the summer. The house is clean and very open upstairs in the living area.

Overall the house was nice had all the amenities been in proper working order.
House was clean. Perfect for our sized group. Downfall was that check in was supposed to be at 5pm, which is late in my opinion to charge for a whole day. I reached out to VACASA for more bath towels because we had 7 people staying there, and were only provided with 4 towels. I asked for more towels, but they were never brought. No hot tub cover at all so every leaf that blew off the trees ended up in the hot tub. House needs a few upgrades, but no other complaints! Location was great! Close to everything needed!

A Sweet Spot
Listen, it's a beach house; so there will be some wear and tear. Some lights didn't work and the hot tub needs some love... But this is a sweet spot. My family had a wonderful time and felt like this was one of the best locations we have stayed in OBX. The pool was fantastic. It is close to everything that matters and Vacasa is attentive to any issues. Our door would not lock at first, but a gentleman came and made a repair after we notified them.
The only real issue was it's listed that there is a video game console onsite but that was not there when we stayed. Since that was not the reason we chose the house it didn't matter to us... just a heads up to any gamers.
Several issues upon arrival. We checked in early because I received a text stating it was clean and we could come early. AC wasn’t working upstairs where most of the bedrooms were. Hot tub/pool area was filthy. Niether were operational. Hot tub was half full & filters were super clogged in the pool. Dirty underwear were left behind on the pool lounge chair. Trash was scattered. Bathrooms were dirty. Toilets didn’t flush well. 3rd floor balcony railing was broken. A small child nearly fell, but we are thankful that we caught her in time. The first couple of days were filled with waiting for maintenance & pool contractor to finish repairs. With all that was wrong, Tony, the maintenance manager seemed on his game. He took care of everything. I do feel that he handled it as best as he could, but NONE of these issues should have occurred.

Second time at Nautilus
The pool and hot tub are wonderful. The house is great place for a family with kids and pets.
Plenty of room for a family of 6. Easy access to the beach. Nice pool and hot tub. Would love to give it a higher rating for those reasons alone but it could definitely use some TLC and attention given to the ants. Overall though a pretty good stay.

Just Perfect!
The house was exactly what we needed for a family vacation!
Perfect location short walk to ocean, could drive to many more secluded spots. House very clean, centrally located to restaurants and stores. Kitchen well stocked any thing you need!!
The house was perfect. Could use a deep clean but overall it met our needs!

Well equipped beach house with plenty of room for our group.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nautlius (week of 9/16/17). Having Club Hatteras available to us when we arrived early was a nice perk. Hatteras Realty did a wonderful job keeping us updated of impending weather, trash pickups, etc.. The house was spacious and the kitchen was very well-stocked. We loved having a private pool and hot tub. Great location-subdivision is right next door to the grocery store as well as restaurants.

Worker for us!
We booked this home the last minute on our kids Spring Break. The house worked fine for us and had most of what we needed for our trip. It was too chilly to use the pool but the hot tub was nice. It’s placed in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of stores and a small shopping center.
House was great. However, there are ants in kitchen. Bought bug spray then found some in drawers etc.

Needs to have a walk through
The property was in a nice quiet area with close access to a grocery store. Bit of a walk to the beach but not that far. Reported problems but never resolved (hot tub needed maintenance, lights not working, door lock broken, faucet dripping and more). Pool was nice. Property needs someone to do a walk through before next guest.

Great stay
We arrived Saturday and unfortunately had to evacuate Monday morning so our stay was interrupted by Hurricane Maria. There are no views of beaches from this location but the house was very nice. Beds are not comfortable, very hard and comforters are a little worn. We purchased the bedding package and that was all clean and in good condition. One of the upstairs bathrooms was in need of some TLC. I would definitely rent again. The rental company was very professional and friendly. Just wish we could have stayed for the whole vacation.
Great location with only a few minutes to walk to the beach. Loved having a washer and dryer as well! Grocery store is right next to the neighborhood.
Neighborhood is quiet and there are lots of convenient dog waste stations around.
Only issues were that two of the three shower curtains in the house had lots of mold on them and the tubs didn't drain well. Because of this, we ended up only using one shower in the house.
The hot tub was also not completely full when we got there (several jets weren't submerged) and the tub gradually lost an abnormal amount of water during our stay.
Also to note: there aren't any dish towels in the house so might want to bring your own.
