Booked and was then sent emails from rental company which led me down the rabbit hole of their reviews. Not going to lie, at that point I was scared of what we would walk into. However, this home was incredibly clean. The beds were comfortable, pillows were great. Very spacious and inviting. Five patio doors leading onto 2 separate deck areas. Beautiful views of the ocean. Outdoor shower comes in very handy.Did not use any appliances so can’t say anything regrading if they worked properly. The coffee pot was broken but reported and ideally will be replaced. There was an issue with the heating and cooling not working properly to which we were told we don’t know how to operate the system, after they came out to check so they did respond to issues. Hard to operate it incorrectly when you turn the system off and it keeps kicking itself on for hours. That said, I believe they will remedy that issue and the house can be enjoyed fully.

On the fence

This was an ok property. It’s just behind the double dune to the beach. The path to the beach had lots of trash, broken tiles, and debris. The photos make this property look better than in person. The carpet in the living area and stairs should be removed. It smells and is dirty. I wore shoes the entire time…and kept my dog on the lower level only (hard surfaces in lower level). The house could use an update/refresh. The neighborhood is rundown. I booked this property to be close to family (their house did not allow pets)…then Vacasa told them they lost their house because the elevator was out of service. That made this property inconvenient to them. This was my first experience with Vicasa and VRBO. I think I will go back to hotels and resorts…you know what you are getting. The house did have ample kitchen accessories, towels, bedding. Beds were comfortable (well the two I tried). Screens were missing from several windows and sliders did not work well. You cannot see the beach…you can see waves and hear them. I got an early checkin which was convenient…and checkout was easy.

I received a call while enroute to location, cleaning team was running late and we would not have access until 7PM instead of 6PM. Unfortunately when we arrived at the property it appeared the house had a quick tidying done, the floors and carpet had not been swept and the A/C was not working on the 2nd floor. Later I found out that management was aware of the a/c issue but did not bother to inform me. Overall this experience was not good for myself or my family due to the manner in which Vacasa handled or rather did not handle the issues with this property. We will not be using Vacasa moving forward.

Mostly good, a few negatives

Enjoyed family time staying all together in this house. We had 8 adults and one child. The house nicely accommodated us all. The house appeared very clean on arrival, upon staying noticed clogged vents/air filters and very dusty ceiling fans. For the price, expected more pristine conditions. The carpet in the living room is obviously old and prompted us to wear our shoes at all times. A big negative for us is the walk back over the dunes from the beach, my 70+ mother who is very active and her husband (who has a knee replacement) could not make it back across the steep dune from the beach. The dune was steep and the extremely hot powdery sand made it difficult to climb even for us particularly if carrying beach essentials. Our solution for my parents was they walked on the beach to the Avon Pier, a little less than half a mile from the house, and we drove down and picked them up. Also, you cannot see the beach from the house but you can see the ocean from the top level deck. The chairs on the deck are very nice and we spent our evenings typically on the deck enjoying family time. The hot tub is small but clean, only a couple of our family used it during our stay. We had a request to adjust the temperature setting, and after calling twice and waiting overnight, the next day I was able to speak directly to the owner who addressed and solved our concerns. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you should need during your stay. Overall, the house is nice and I recommend staying there if you don't mind not having easy beach access. The dunes are beautiful though and we understand and admire their presence. I personally prefer to be closer and have easier beach access so my whole family can enjoy the beach anytime they desire.

Great place!

Perfect house to stay with my family (5 kids and hubby). We enjoyed our first offseason stay after 20+ years of vacationing in OBX. The house offered beautiful ocean views and spacious living space. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Dog Paradise

This property was excellent. You truly can tell that the owners have put thought into their guests who travel with their dogs. The outside runs were great! However, the one next to driveway has a lot of sand spurs. The views of the Dunes were amazing and the sunrises to die for! The house was well stocked and had everything you would need! The kitchen had everything that you needed. We did not need to unpack a good bit that we brought. And there is a charcoal grill also. Short walk to the beach for public access however the dune / walkway is a good climb down to the beach. And the climb back up takes a good bit. All of our guest enjoyed the views, Avon is our favorite part of OBX! This property is perfect location! We will definitely rent this place again!

Autumn heat

Great location beautiful natural dunes and smooth beach. Very fortunate to have had beautiful 78° heat late October. Great recreation room and kitchen in the top of house. Kitchen well stocked and bathroom location fantastic. The shag carpet does seem to be a magnet for Sand Spurs so be careful. Upper deck and furniture are compliments to beautiful sunrises Hopefully return.

August 2021 Stay

Overall property was clean and worked out well for our stay. We had issues with response from property management regarding garbage pick up. Garbage was overflowing when we arrived and not picked up for the entire week. We made daily calls to Vacasa & notified realtor. Was told several times that it would be taken care of but it was never picked up. Created quite a mess with critters scattering garbage across property. A couple of notes to future renters - 1. Grill - is charcoal and inoperable. No handle on lid. 2. Beach access - no direct access from house to beach. Have to walk through neighbor's yard and use pubic access. May be difficult for elderly folks or anyone with health issues.
