Nice vacation home.
The location was convenient. The pool was great with an easy walk to the beach, it was fairly flat. The house was nice but starting to show some wear, especially bed pillows and island stools, great room furniture seemed new.

This house is in an amazing location with beautiful views, loaded with enough pots, pan and utensils to feed as many as needed but is in need of many updates. We had a wonderful vacation being together but it could have been so much better if the requests to the rental agency would have been corrected.

Amazing views
This house has the most beautiful and amazing views. Almost every room has a view of the ocean. You can even see it from the pool deck. The house was huge, there were 12 of us and everyone had plenty of space. The elevator was a lifesaver for our disabled daughter. The pictures don’t do the views or close proximity to the beach justice. If you are looking for a house that allows you to sit on any balcony and watch the waves roll in and see your grandchildren on the beach then this house is perfect. It would have gotten a five star if the furniture was in better shape.

Great time . But had some concerns
Nice place but.. it was not cleaned that good . There were cigarette butts in candles on out side deck. One of the dish washers was broke. The railing on the porch’s needs repaired . We were honestly scared to get to close to the edge of the porch cause the railing seemed like it was gonna break. And the code from vasca wouldn’t work.

It was alright
The bedding was old and not really good quality. The tv out by the tiki bar and in the tv room didn’t work. There were at least three cockroaches that were found inside. The pool water never got turned on so it was cold. The toilet was running and one door wouldn’t lock to the outside. Positives. LOCATION RIGHT ON THE BEACH! the place was clean and had plenty of towels. When there was an issue some were taken pretty quickly and the maintenance guy was very funny and caring. Hot tub and clean with plenty of extra stuff added to the house. Overall would stay again for sure.

Relaxation
The layout of “Pinch Me” gives everyone privacy and areas of group interaction. The house overlooks a natural dunes and beautiful ocean view. Gorgeous decks and comfortable furniture makes it so relaxing. We enjoyed the game room, hot tub, pool and tiki bar. Definitely would return!

Beautiful Home
We ended up staying here because " God Promise " which is the one we orginally rented was being worked on. I was a bit worried about this because I didn't know we were switching houses unitl 5 hours before we were heading out for our 16 hour drive with 10 family members ! The house had a couple issues however they weren't expecting to rent it so we would call and they had someone there with every issue we had !! Every repairman that came out was always nice and friendly !! We absoultely loved the house and the views ! The home is lovely I would totally recommend this for a large family to make many memories at the Outer Banks . We come to the Outer Banks every two years and had never been to Hatteras we believe this is our favorite now !! The dolphin watching was FABULOUS

needs work
from my 10/10 response We have a habit of changing vacation houses every few years and will not be returning to Pinch Me for 2022. Very disappointed with the change from Hatteras Realty to Vacasa. Required a long time to get the reservation correct during the changeover. Very slow response to first call email about coffee maker. Delivery person said he had to stop at a store to buy the replacement. When asking about the damaged he said he did not know if there any available in the area. Stopped at the office twice when passing it but the door was locked both times and a note said staffing shortage. At the price we paid we expected better service with problems.

The perfect view
The house has everything and views in every room. It helped that we had perfect weather the entire week. We did pay to heat the pool but maintenance company never turned on the heat and we couldn’t get them to come out and fix the issue.

Awesome
Loved the layout and quiet location, perfect for large or multi-family gatherings. The exterior furniture is brand new and very comfortable; however, the interior couches and chairs have broken springs, refrigerators and ovens have missing/broken shelves and need updating.

Been staying at Pinch Me for 8 years
Love the views and the access to the beach and fishing marinas. I did see that they retiled and painted the pool and replaced the ice maker machines. Was disappointed in little to no upgrades inside the house .. ceiling fan in family room is falling apart and same couch since I have been there .. granted we are there for the beach but it is nice to be able to relax at night. A few mattresses have big stains on them and hope they replace the septic lid in front so I can sit on front steps without getting sewer stench. Great house other than the price increase for 2022 year so had to rent a different house through another realty company for next year!

Could use TLC
The house was dirty and three of the beds had blood on the sheets. Master bathroom had a shower head that was not working. There were bugs running around in the basement. One of the kitchen stoves had a bad element and caught fire. Master bedroom windows facing ocean had mold around the bottom of them and the door did not seal and whistled when the wind blew. The only good part was the location and the view. The walkway to the ocean was also missing boards.

Unkept home, great views
If you are a group of people who do not care about cleanliness or comfort, this would be a great rental for you. We experienced: A broken couch, it appears they attempted to fix it under the cushions with foam that was dirty and falling apart. No pool heat despite booking in advance. They told us the week prior that it couldn't be fixed before our stay. They showed up on Tuesday of the stay to fix it, said it was fixed and the next day there was still no heat. They then told us they would come back and didn't show up until the day before we left and said it would be ready the next day, on our check out, after multiple repeat phone calls. My daughters put their kids in infant rescue swim lessons for months in preparation for specifically this vacation as they do not have pools not live near locations where their kids will have access to the water but they wanted to have them prepared for swimming on vacation. The weather cooperated perfectly but the pool was too cold for the adults and definitely not an option for the kids. The hot tub did not hold heat, they said they would come fix it and never did. The hose handle was broken so we could not wash off sand. There was extensive mold on two shower curtains, one was replaced. We called and they gave us no time frame to show up and arrived unannounced waking the baby in that room and my daughter was uncomfortable using the tub for the baby having had so much mold in there. The shower drains downstairs were clogged with hair and when turning the water on, debris came up making those bathrooms unusable for showering. There were holes in the screen doors. The deck upstairs has splinters coming up everywhere and has not been maintained at all. You could not go out without shoes on and multiple people got splinters from just the railings. The dishwasher was full of dirty dishes when we arrived. The refrigerator is missing shelves all along the door and the top shelf was broken so food had to be kept downstairs and brought up three floors. The Sonos sound system needed to be updated for use with the owners login information and no one could do that for us so we didn't have that amenity. There were cockroaches in the bathroom downstairs and the shower upstairs. The beds are fine but certainly not comfortable. All the blankets for the beds were in a large black trash bag in the closet of the downstairs bedroom and found only after our family drove 18 hours to arrive and sleep without blankets. The views are impressive and the beach access is great. The location can't be beat. Personally our family would compromise the location for a clean, functional home that did not falsely advertise having amenities that were unable to be used. The Hatteras Realty company affiliated for service during our stay was less than helpful and made us feel like we were an inconvenience for having issues with a home we expected to provide a memorable family vacation. Our kids memories are full of waiting to use different bathrooms due to mold and clogged drains, rewashing all the dirty dishes, sitting on the floor because the couch was broken and could no accommodate all the seats, waiting on hold to talk to the company, digging out splinters from the deck, sitting by the pool that was cold without music because we left speakers behind due to the amentity of in home sound, and trying to make each other feel better about spending money on what we thought was a very nice home and in reality was very run down with no concern for guests.

A lovely two weeks away...
The house and location are just lovely. The house is spacious and the elevator makes getting things from the bottom floor to the top very easy. I liked that the kitchen and living room were on the top floor giving the best possible views. We saw dolphins playing every single day. The pool was closed while I was there because it was January but the hot tub was a nice way to spend an hour each day. I'm giving this home a four star review because as lovely as it was (and it really was) it was not without a few minor issues. The couch in the main living area is need of replacement soon, the master bath shower needs snaked (it backed up terribly), and the dryer in the laundry room wasn't working very well (it took all day to dry a load of clothes). Again, very minor issues but they did get noticed. We took our dogs with us and that was a nice treat to have them with us. I would definitely rent this home again.
