Good pick

This is a good place to stay, right in the center of town of nags head with a lot of good resteraunts and activities for the children to do. The only down side to the property it is a little outdated. That being said it was still a clean property to stay in.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice vacation home with everything we needed. Bedrooms had a lot of space as well as kitchen, den and sitting areas. The pool was nice. Would have liked it heated but that wasn't an option. The house was in a great location.

Fantastic Beach Rental Experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pictures do not do this property justice. The house was beautiful, clean, and had everything and more our large family could need. Inside and outside were very clean. PLENTY of spacious bedrooms and living space. Everything was in working order, ready upon check-in, easy check-out. Very close to grocery store, restaurants (we enjoyed Mama Kwan’s fish tacos, the Beachcomber Tiki Hut hidden behind the Ramada on the ocean, & Swells’a Brewery), and tourist attractions like mini golf, Jockys Ridge and the Wright Bros Memorial. Would definitely recommend and would stay again! Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Smooth Sailing vacation stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Overall, Smooth Sailing is a great vacation rental. The location is great & it has all the amenities, (I.e. pool, hot tub, pet friendly, private beach access, many master bedrooms), that we look for. Our first experience with Beach Realty was great. They are very friendly, professional & quick to respond.The only reason for 4 out of 5 stars on general condition, is that some items need to be replaced/upgraded/fixed, (I.e. hot tube jets very weak, ground level fridge missing shelves, gas grill has extreme grease build up). The main kitchen fridge was replaced (new) while we were there.Overall, a great vacation week for our family - Thanks!!

Best house in 34 years of coming to the Banks!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve been coming to Banks with our children and now our grandchildren for the past 34 years, and this is the best house we’ve ever rented! The rooms were amazing and big - lots of masters with not only bathtubs AND showers, but walk-in closets as well. There were extra rooms as well - for games or reading or a temporary office. The way the extra rooms led to the decks was ideal as well - no bedrooms disturbed by people hanging out late on the deck. Also, the outdoor shower was great - the showerhead worked great (not all rusty and only giving a trickle). The location was perfect - in Nagshead but close to Kill Devil Hills. We could walk to lots of our favorite places (Kill Devil Grill, Tortugas Lie, Harris Teeter, Helen’s and various ice cream places).We will be back!

almost perfect

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: we had 10 people stay. The houses was great, lots of room, very clean. I loved all the different sitting rooms, and playing pool provided some fun during the rain. The location of the house was great, it was close to stores and plenty of places to eat, including a great candy store and fudge store. The pool was very clean, but cold it was really needs to be heated. We brought our golden ret. who loved the beach as well. There were a lot of stairs, and the worst part was the the entrance to the beach had no stairs, but a steep stand hill. I think there may have been stair at some time but now it's just covered it sand. This was a problem for some of our family. Other than that I would stay here again.

It's just an OKAY spot

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: You mostly choose a house due to amenities and location. This house has the location but lacks the amenities that is states on the description. Example, the hot tub does not work, so if you like a lukewarm tub, you are good to go. But if you are looking for a real hot tub, then this place is not for you. Also, there is a lot of sand around the pool, and past guest have used it for their ashtray. So the sand was nasty. The rooms are large and it is nice to have the amount of king sized rooms. The house has a lot of potential for niceness but its average.

Wonderful vacation home

Our group of 14 -- grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins -- had a wonderful week at Smooth Sailing. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped, the beach views and proximity are fantastic, there is lots of room for everyone and the management company was very responsive to all our questions. Highly recommend.

Great Place

We had a great time at the place. We had always stayed in Duck, but this year we went to Nags Head. There is much, much more to do along with grocery shopping less than a mile away. The pool was fine and the 2nd floor access to the beach was easy to handle. We loved the high chairs on the top floor porch. The place was well stocked with plates silverware and glasses. The only problem we had was that the week we were there, the temperatures were well into the 90’s and the air conditioner on the 3rd floor would not hold the set temperature. In the morning it would be back to the set temperature. We called and they were responsive and somebody did come out. Also the pool light in the pool was out and they sent somebody out to look at it. We hadn’t noticed it until the end of the stay. We would definitely stay there again.

Good house for family vacation

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: Everything was clean and was ready by 4pm check-in time. The keyless entry was good because it eliminated the stop at the rental office. House is adequately stocked with kitchen utensils we needed. However, the finish on the dining room table is overall sticky. Possibly wrong kind of paint was used, we used a sheet as a tablecloth.Unfortunately the rental price increase may dictate that we seek another house for next year.

Overall good

Great location. Very spacious house. Somewhat strange layout, but accommodating. The check-in process was terrible. We were told we would be contacted to check-in and never received communication. We finally just showed up and the house was ready. It would have been nice to know further in advance given we were traveling with small children.

Great location. Needs some TLC

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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is on the water and has great views from the top deck. Beach access is easy.The refrigerators were very old and missing shelves in the doors and shelves. They both are in desperate need of replacement. The freezer in one of them doesn’t work well and the fridge in the other freezes in the fridge section.Almost all of the power outlets are loose and do not maintain a connection.The desk had many nails popping up and some of the slats were loose.Kinda weird to have sand surrounding the pool, makes it impossible to keep clean.

Nice House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were happy with the house. The sand dune hill at the end of the walkway from the house was difficult for the three of us that are almost 80 years old to negotiate. The young people dug it down somewhat and it appears that under the sand there is more walkway and some steps. If you could dig more sand out that would be great
