Great Place on Ocean

Great house on the Outer Banks. We had a nice family trip. Was not very crowded which was both good and bad. I am sure in summer the place is jumping with people. Glad we had a few good restaurants open. I would go back and rent this house again with other family members.

Great home

The home was very clean and spacious. We we loved the top deck with the view and being 4th of July that was an added plus! We had an awesome time and were very respectful of the property.

Weekend Get-Away

We were just here for a little weekend get-away before Christmas. The house is as advertised. It feels like staying at your friends well-loved beach house. The view is beautiful, you are close to everything and there is plenty of room for kids (and the dog) to relax. While it has almost everything, there wasn’t a microwave, which was a bit of a surprise. The sandspurs are abundant, so shows outdoors are a must. We would definitely stay here again.

Great view

Great view from the upper deck. Close walk to the beach. Close to a plethora of amenities nearby. Nice and spacious living area and a hot tub too! Could be cleaned better. Care ful of the sand burs on the dunes and near the house. They will track in on your shoes! Otherwise, a wonderful stay in such a picturesque place!

All the way from Kentucky

We trekked the 10 hours from a small little town in southeastern Kentucky and was not disappointed. The property was well maintained, the management was attentive to a lock being broken on the back deck and overall the place was beautiful. 5/5 stars!

Just OK

The view of the ocean from the upper deck was spectacular, but that was the only positive in relation to the price paid.

Great house!

Although there were only two of us, we can see that this house is very well set up for multiple families. We especially loved the top floor "crow's nest" room where you can see over the dunes to the ocean. Great place to have coffee and watch the sunrise. Since it was early May, we were pretty much alone on the beach. The hot tub off the second floor was wonderful - we enjoyed it very much. Kitchen was fully stocked and there were even back-up appliances is some cases. Quiet neighborhood with no through traffic! Vacasa was VERY responsive to any questions we had. Thanks again to Vacasa and to the house owners.

Never rent a VRBO that is hosted by Vacasa

Absolutely abysmal customer service from Vacasa. Winter storm Enzo shut the entire Outer Banks down and we couldn’t access the property. Vacasa’s response was it wasn’t their problem and they would not offer any refunds or future credits. A simple Google search uncovered untold horror stories similar to mine. I will never rent another property if they are the host.

A gem

Within a minute of being here we realized this home was loved and had been lived in. It immediately felt like home. Furniture comfy, although one bed was a bit soft. Beautiful art and touches. We tried to love it as much as the owners did. Rough walking over dunes for the pups, they picked up some prickly briars so we drove onto beach rest of week. Location was great! Avon is always a good location on Hatteras Island. We hope to stay here next year as well. The management company was fantastic!

We enjoyed our stay right near the beach, it was beautiful

We enjoyed seeing the ocean right from most of the window and sitting on the decks and watching the ocean and listening to the waves.
