A Bright Spot

House was great but.....

Everything was so nice and plenty of space for 5 adults and 4 kids. Beds slept great. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes, pots, glasses and all other kitchen items needed. Loved the 2 1/2 bathrooms. There are only 3 things we were no happy ith. 1. There were 3 lg roaches found in kitchen, deck and living room. 2. My daughter wanted to use an extra pillow to prop up her legs because they were swollen, and there was dried blood stains on the extra pillows. 3. Everything was spotless but our feet got dirty everynight we were there from the living room floor. Other than those 3 things, everything was great. Thank you.

Peaceful Ocean Stay

A Bright Spot was a lovely beach house for our large group to stay in. There was a kitchen table large enough for everyone to sit around for dinner and best of all there were tons of seating options in the living space :)The beds had linens and several comfy pillows to choose from which is great because everyone has different preferences for pillows. The walk to the beach was super easy and didn't involve crossing any main roads which was great! The hot tub was nice and secluded on the side of the house and the outdoor shower downstairs was always amazing after a day on the sand. The kitchen was a little outdated (dishwasher was starting to rust inside and pans had Teflon scraping off of them) but that seems to be the norm at beach houses in the outer banks. The wi-fi was also pretty slow, a few of us were trying to work from home and wound up using our own phones as hot spots. The wi-if was able to stream movies on the TV though so it was still good enough for the average group on vacation. We also had muffins and scones across the street which has free w-if and delicious food so that was also an option to use for working. Overall we had a great stay at this home and would recommend to others for a group beach trip :)

Excellent stay with great views and comfortable lodging.

The house was perfect for our group and just as described! It was comfortable, clean and communication was simple and easy! We had a wonderful time reconnecting with our family. The beach was a short walk from the house with easy access. Overall, a wonderful experience and vacation! Thank you!!!

Hate to leave A Bright Spot

We had a fantastically relaxing vacation with our family of 6 which included our grown children and their s/o and our little dogs. The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable. The AC worked well. Water pressure in the showers was good also. The Avon Beach was close and inviting. We enjoyed walking on the sandbar at night with flashlights to look at crabs, shrimp, fish and hermit crabs. Walking to the muffin and scone shop was delightful in the morning. We had a delicious meal out at Pangea The dishwasher and microwave worked but could use a replacement soon. Overall A Bright Spot was a great place to relax and unwind.

Very Satisfied

Good Morning - we had a wonderful experience at A Bright Spot. House was true to the description, clean when we arrived. We had clogged drains(2) issue that was fixed with in 24 hours. I do believe there may be a problem with the light over the kitchen sink. I does not work all the time. I thought it may be the bulb, but that was changed when the drains were unclogged. Sometimes the light came on and sometimes it did not. I also would like to mention the employees I dealt with at Shore Details were so courteous and helpful.

Perfect Family Getaway

We vacation at OBX every year, but this was our first time to bring a dog and A Bright Spot was the perfect house for our family. The house was clean with a well-stocked kitchen and plenty of space for 8 adults. The beach and dunes were an easy walk from the house and the hot tub was the best way to unwind after a long day. Avon and Haterras have a lot to offer without the noise and traffic of other OBX towns. We plan to return! Thank you, Shore Management!

Great vacation house

We enjoyed our stay at A Bright Spot. The house was setup with great kitchen necessities making it feel like home. Close to the beach and great neighbors around. We enjoyed spending a few minutes in the hot tub on several occasions. The cover was easy off/on and helped keep the water clean. Can't wait to return.

Relaxing Getaway

This property was as promised in the description. Overall was clean upon arrival (some sand remaining on the couches and stairs, but have to imagine it’s difficult to remove entirely) and a bag was left with clean kitchen towels, paper towels and toilet paper. All beds were made and wrapped packages of towels were left on each bed. The property offered beach chairs, etc. and we especially appreciated and used the beach cart to wheel our supplies to and from the beach. Only complaint was that the tub attached to the room with the king sized bed did not drain well from the start with the water at our ankles by the end of a shower. Overall a great stay and we would definitely rent this property again.

Very nice except for a injury that should of never happed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very nice and we really enjoyed our stay but on the first day I Was going to turn on the hose and at the hose bib there was a small deck walkway and some of the deck boards are just laying on the deck and not fastened I stepped on one of the loose boards fell hurt my back and torn my arm up and was hurting for the rest of the week and my back still hurts. Being a contractor myself I and very surprised the deck boards are just laying there it is very dangerous and someone else could really get hurt like an elderly person. This is Mary’s husband Robert.
