I'm not sure how this rental keeps getting good reviews!! My husband and I stayed here last week for our anniversary and we're less than impressed with the house.
On our second night, the biggest cockroach I've ever seen came across the living room wall. We sent a picture to the property owner, who downplayed the matter asked if we wanted him to come spray! Shouldn't that go without saying?!?
There is mold all over the ceiling of the bedrooms and bathroom. I understand that it is a damp environment and this will happen, but it appears that no effort was made to clean in between rentals.
The location, just behind a restaurant, is very close to the dumpsters for said restaurant. Not too big of a deal until the winds pick up and the smell of seafood that has been steaming in the dumpsters all day is sent your way.
The beds in each bedroom are about as soft and forgiving as a concrete floor. Speaking of the beds, one of the sheets and one of the blankets still had blood stains visible.
If you plan to stay here anytime soon, know that the house next door is under construction. Typically not a big deal, but a section of the Tyvek home wrap has come loose, and even with the slightest breeze can be heard inside the home. We had the TV volume at max and still could hear it whipping outside.
Lastly, and we just noticed this when we re-read the property description, we were never offered the $25 restaurant gift card that the description offers, so I guess you have to ask for it?
Overall, we enjoyed our time at the outer banks, and will certainly return, just not to this rental!!
