Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: All in all, our stay at The Coast is Clear was enjoyable. However, all of the sliding doors in the house were either very hard or impossible to open and close. It is obvious they need to be repaired or replaced. I felt that this was a safety issue, hence the No response to the last question.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The vacation home was unfortunately in very poor condition, it was very outdated with horrible mattresses in every bedroom and the rental company did a terrible job cleaning the home prior to our arrival, in fact they had dirty towels under the car port for more than 15 hours, sand in the tubs, the outside stunk like someone cleaned fish and dint clean up. We still had a great time because we made the best of it but i would give this house a 1/5 and would NOT recommend renting this home.

Good location, Pet friendly, but very run down and filthy

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Despite being close to the beach (located behind a very tall Sand dune so the beach is not visible from any location in the house), and pet friendly. This house was a big disappointment for a vacation rental. First the house was filthy, and not from being pet friendly. Things such as banisters on the stairs being black from hand grease, the fridge had old blood and juice stains in it, floors were sandy and dirty. We actually went to the store to get cleaning supplies and had to clean to make it somewhat livable. The furniture was in very poor condition. The couches had time faded and loose slip covers, the bedding appeared to be at least a decade old if not older. Two beds were broken (our oldest daughter had to do a balancing act while sleeping or else the bed would teeter on its three legs). Even the details in the rooms showed a lack of care. The walls are an old dingy white... a gallon of paint would do wonders... Each room had a contractor grade ceiling light circa 1982... is it really that hard to install a $80 ceiling fan? The bathrooms and kitchen were all dated and in poor condition. I will say the kitchen was actually well stocked for cooking. When you look in the "backyard" you are treated to a lovely view of cigarettes and beer cans. This house has the appearance of being an inheritance that someone can not afford to keep.

Great location and views but worn out

Everything was good for the most part. The property needs maintenance and some renovation. It's just worn out, from the deck (has soft spots, be careful!) to the interior and furniture. Non-functioning ceiling fan in the great room. If you're looking for an updated, new and shiny place, this ain't it. We had a little snafu with the housekeeping but it was taken care of. It's right up against the public beach access so there's a constant parade of cars on the street and people walking by. The houses are slap up against each other so easy to hear the other renters carrying on into the night. It served our purpose but we waited too long to rent something for our stay so choices were limited.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is perfect and the layout was great. The beds were very comfortable, but the family room furniture has seen better days. We talked about renting it again next year. The owner's may want to think about a privacy gate where the home actually provides direct access to the beach board walk. This is because we encountered people using the home's hose to rise off.

Great location, poor upkeep

The location is 5 out of 5. We’ve stayed all over OBX and this location is top marks. Right on the beach, easy access to the water, shops, and restaurants. The neighborhood is well lit at night for walking the dog etc. The house itself on the other hand is poorly maintained, I’m not talking about maid service or cleanliness necessarily - that was adequate. There are outlets not properly affixed to walls, many of the top floor lights flicker even when off, and there he decks are squishy. The top floor deck rail isn’t one to lean against so be careful. The teenager room is completely disconnected from the main house in every way. The rooms nice and if you have older kids it’s probably okay. The neighborhood doesn’t have a pool, so the lack of one at the house kind of stinks. The bathroom showers struggle to drain, probably from all the sand… but just something to know in advance. If I had known the above in advance I wouldn’t have rented the house and certainly won’t again.

Coast is clear

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Coast is clear is in a great location and great for pets. However, when we arrived there was a horrible sewage smell inside and was not taken care until a plummer could come-a bathroom seal had to be replaced and the plummer said the baseboard and floor boards were saturated with urine in that bathroom. There was a moldy shower curtain in another bathroom and we had to wait a day for that to be replaced. There was a rug runner in the kitchen that smelled like urine so we left it outside for the week. The rug in front of the sliding class windows had visible stains on it. Outside water was turned off, but that was taken care of as well. The management company was great with addressing the issues. The space was great and the kitchen was well stocked with dishware, pots and pans and utensils. This would be an even better place to stay if the furniture was updated in the living area. When you pay what we paid to stay there you do expect the place to be odor free and clean. We expected it to be dated due to the pictures which were accurate. Overall, our stay was rocky to start but once the smell issues and the moldy shower curtain was addressed it got better. The location and views were great.

Like visiting Auntie's beach house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was perfect for us! We loved being close to beach access and shopping was nearby. The upstairs deck was our dog's happy place and we enjoyed people watching with him. As others have mentioned, this rental is in need of upgrades and maintenance. I would describe it as visiting your Auntie's lake or beach house that hasn't changed much since you first visited in 1998, mis-matched silverware, "well-loved" furniture, and assorted left-behind beach chairs. Brand new televisions everywhere, but we were here for the beach and quiet time, not cable and streaming.

Some reviews had mentioned noise from the public beach access walkway, but we enjoyed watching the parade of beach goers from our deck! Traffic was heavy, but that's what you get during summer visits.

Some of our family in the bedrooms were able to hear people a couple of nights, but overall not a problem. The house was clean but very much in need of updating (general consensus amongst the family). Had a couple of questions regarding entry upon arrival and the agency was very helpful.

Mattress need to be swapped out in all bedrooms, cabinets need replaced they were half broken when we arrived. The fifth bedroom is not attached to the house which is inconvenient. Overall it’s a nice place great location. , Just needs a few updates especially mattresses.

Potential

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place has great potential! It has lots of room and is in a great location. Overall, we had a nice stay here. The cleanliness of the place was our main issue. It was neat, but not so clean. The maintenance guy came while we were moving in to change the filters, so they were clean, but the vents covering them had so much dirt/dust on them, it would just fall off if touched--obviously no one cleans these. And there were tables in the other rooms that had not been dusted in a while. Trash under beds, pictures that had fallen off walls laying on the floor under bed and up against the wall. Furniture is not in the best shape (drawers, handles, etc) but it is functional. Rugs look to be old and well used. Formica Kitchen counters were wiped clean but many stains on counters that could possibly be cleaned with a more heavy duty cleaner. Way too many dishes in cabinets--not enough room for renters to put food/supplies. Most of the decor looks as though it has been there for a while and could be done without. If a little bit of $$ were put into this place to update it and have some good cleaners keep it up, it would be so much better. I loved the room that it offered for our large family. Maintenance staff were quick to resolve our issues.

Bed spreads had bad smell and we washed them.4. Grill cleaning brush was gross looked like it was warn out and full of hair.5. Carpets need cleaning. 6. Could locate a broom to sweep on bottom floor.7. Vacuum on second floor smelled like vomit.

5th bedroom dirty and locked

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The fifth bedroom is in the basement and has a separate entrance to the rest of the house. The bedroom was locked and the keys were hanging on a single hook with no tag high up on the wall. We initially could notLocate the keys so we called the company who had no idea any keys were involved. After hours on the phone with maintenance, someone was able to direct us as to the location of the keys. We added a yellow tag and key ring for future guests. The bedroom was not cleaned and there was sand in the beds. The guests staying down there for bit but something in the beds and had to go to urgent care for steroids as their entire body was covered in bites. The beach is busy. The location is the entrance for most of the neighborhood with people walking up and down all day and night. Noise from the public beach access is heard late into the night in the bedrooms. People were also setting off fireworks throughout the week late around 11pm. The views from the top deck are nice. The middle deck is just a view of the dune. It worked for this year but we will not be returning to this house.

Perfect location

I will say the beach reality is really on top of things when it comes to issues with the property! The house wasn’t the cleanest. It was very dusty on all surfaces when we arrived. Under the beds weren’t vacuumed and the kitchen cabinets weren’t wiped down. Other wise we would rent from beach reality in the future but probably not this property again. One more thing… the place was pet friendly however the back yard is not. Lots of spikey brush, be prepared to walk your dog in the neighborhood and on the beach your entire stay.

Deck is splintery and has lots of nail pops. Major issue was lack of handicap access to the beach. Had to drive 1/2 mile down the road to get my wife's wheelchair to the beach.Next time I would get a place with a pool.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very nice, spacious and in a great location. The worst part was trying to keep track of the keys. This unit should have a keyless entry or a lock box to store the keys. That's the last thing you want to worry with when on vacation is keeping track of keys. Also, the one room is totally separated from the main house - you have to exit outside and unlock the door to access the room. This is fine for older kids or adults, but we didn't realize it was totally separate living quarters. If you didn't realize that when making your reservations and had a young group of children then that would definitely not be a suitable arrangement for your group.
