Wonderful community
What a wonderful little community. Stayed there with my girlfriend for a wedding in Morehead city. The owners were there that weekend cleaning up the property, staining the picnic tables, and washing the dock. You can tell that owners really care about taking good care of this place. The room was perfect for our needs and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

New Favorite Place!
The whole place was great--wow the pool! We loved the location with the beach across the road, Bogue Sound right there, and the pool. Room was clean with crisp sheets on the bed. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment and full size fridge was super. Easy parking. Convenient location for all the area attractions. And did we mention the pool? We'll be back!

Excellent location and value however…
Very happy with the accommodations. Great pool and easy access to the beach. Could have gone without the pool police and glares from the older folks who appear to stay full time and don’t care for us weekend renters. We had a gentleman take our photos and threaten us that management would be talking to us. Unfortunately probably won’t be booking here again due to this.

Decent!
A star for location, a star for ease of check in and out, a star for everything being exactly as advertised. No star for cleanliness, I would call it cleanish… this property is in dire need of a deep cleaning, the baseboards and floors were dirty, a private hair in the tub, stuff like that. I’m not about cleaning, so I cleaned it when I got there, I was able to get the soap scum off the tub, but the hard water stains I couldn’t. Shower curtain was dirty, looked like old blood and some kind of spaghetti sauce on it. Cups and dishes were very old, very stained, I couldn’t get them clean, so I went and bought my own. Basically whoever the homeowner is paying isn’t doing a good job, in my 20s I cleaned houses and hotels and this cleaning service would absolutely be fired. Otherwise the stay was perfect

Honeymoon Stay
I rented this for my daughter and husband for their lil honeymoon get away. I reached out to the owner and wanted to send a package ahead of time and she got me connected with the cleaning crew that agrees to set it out. Sadly I lost track of time and didn't send it but the fact she went the extra mile meant alot. Will definitely book again.

This is our second time staying in this particular unit. Cindy was wonderful to communicate with and as before, the unit was spotless. I can’t imagine staying elsewhere. The cost is extremely affordable, the views are spectacular, the location is easily accessible to the ocean/bay, shopping, and the unit is perfect for a small family. I would definitely recommend this unit and hope to return again next summer. Thanks Cindy.

Beware: they want you to bring your sheets and towels, add soap and toilet paper and other stuff. It is cleaned and well located but there are some major issues: 1. Door locks poorly, needs to be replaced. 2. Everything is crammed into a small space, you basically cook sitting on the bed. Bathroom is for only 1 person at a time.

This spot was perfect for my 3 day stay at the beach. I traveled solo and there was enough room for me and maybe 1 other, otherwise it is small but quite clean and comfortable. It had all the things I needed for a great stay at the beach and the weather was perfect! The manager/caretaker was on site and very helpful and friendly

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Jul 2022
Oh my goodness! I am very surprised by the comment since I have not received any messages from you all. I have not received any calls or emails, yet you leave such a negative review? I cannot imagine what happened but I sure wish you would have given me the opportunity to address your concerns before leaving a review. Please contact me directly with any issues and if not addressed fully, I welcome constructive criticism. The only inquiry I received from you was regarding the fact that I don’t allow renters to bring boats. Our board instituted a $150 fee for the use of boat ramp/slips for renters. As such, because I thought this is excessive to ask of renters, I do not allow boats. Cindy

Spring break get away
The property was in an excellent location and the amenities in the room were great! The bathroom area was a little smaller than most but was very clean! The only thing I wish they had in the bathroom was an electrical outlet but there was one just outside the bathroom on the kitchenette wall but would be more convenient if it were in the bathroom itself! The 40 “ flat screen TV was nice and the Wi-Fi was good! I had to call Cindy to get her advice as to how to reboot the Wi-Fi ! Once rebooted there were no further incidents! The pool looked really inviting but the cool temps and rain made that a no go! I would definitely rebook the condo and hope to do so sometime later this year!

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Oct 2021
Thanks for your review. I spoke to you within a few minutes of each of your 4-5 phone calls. I'm not sure how I could have improved my communication rating. I tried everything to make you happy including refunding your cleaning payment. When I asked if we could re-clean or how I could make you happy, your first response was to ask for a rental break on a future rental. The picture of the mop that you took and sent to me was of was dirty mop but I do not replace the mop after each rental. You also sent a picture of the aluminum foil covered pans under the burners. Because they get so dirty and impossible to clean, we do cover them with aluminum foil. There was surface rust on the front of the refrig. since this is the beach and things get rust very easily. We did go down this weekend and replaced the 5 year old refrigerator. I feel like your rating was overly negative and you highlighted things that would be impossible for anyone to meet. I believe any clean floor that you wet and wiped with a white rag would show some dirt. For any renter considering this comment, please understand that this is an older beach hotel rental. It is not a 5 star Ramada Inn. The room is very basic and it does get cleaned after each rental. It is far from perfect but it is certainly in line with the pricing I charge. The blankets and pillow protectors are used in between renters. The blankets/pillow protectors are only washed after several renters. And if a renter leaves a dirty spoon put away as clean, unfortunately, that is probably not going to be caught by my cleaning crew. Since this renter, I did replace the refrigerator and changed out the shower curtain. I used to change the shower curtain each season but see how that probably is needed more often. I will see that that is done sooner in the future.

This is the 2nd year staying here. We absolutely love everything about this rental. Cindy is wonderful to work with. Fishing from the dock is my favorite thing to do.
