Due to COVID, We are taking extra precautions to properly disinfect the rental. Here below are steps taken.

Expect our homes will be clean, sanitized, safe and that we are adhering to CDC regulations. Here is our protocol for each department.
• Housekeeping Protocol:

◦ Housekeepers wear masks and disposable gloves when cleaning and disinfecting items and surfaces. Gloves will be discarded after each cleaning and cleaners will wash hands immediately in warm soapy water for 20 seconds after gloves are removed

◦ We use EPA-registered hospital grade disinfectants that provide CDC recommended antimicrobial chemicals – We provide all housekeepers with these chemicals

◦ Housekeepers will be focusing additional attention on high-touch surfaces, including but not limited to: doorknobs, elevator buttons, keyless entry pad, TV remotes, light switches, stair handrails, cabinet drawer pulls, appliance handles such as fridge, microwave, & oven, laundry machines, washer/dryer knobs, and thermostats. All hard surfaces, kitchens, and bathrooms will be thoroughly sanitized

◦ Housekeeper will use disposable cloths, sponges and mop heads for each home. Vacuum cleaners will remain in the house and will be emptied after each use

◦ All windows and slider doors will be open while cleaning and left open to remove and disperse the droplets and reduce the amount of virus in the air – which will reduce the risk of infection for others

◦ Beds will be made with freshly laundered sheets and pillowcases. Pillows, mattress pads, and comforters will be misted with sanitizing product

◦ Supervisors will follow cleaners with a spray to ensure all surfaces have been correctly sanitized

◦ We will have no more than two cleaners in a home and family members only

• Laundry Protocol:

◦ All bed linen, pillow cases, towels, and etc. are laundered at our facility in commercial washers and dryers at high temperature to help kill coronavirus.

◦ All Laundry staff wear masks and disposable gloves when cleaning and disinfecting items or surfaces. Gloves will be discarded after each handling of a load and the laundry attendant will wash hands immediately in warm soapy water for 20 seconds after gloves are removed.

◦ While transferring items from the bin to the washer, our team has been trained not to shake the laundry, which could disperse the virus through the air, according to the CDC.

◦ Sanitizer is also used between each folding task to keep all surfaces clean.

◦ After the dirty laundry is placed in the washer, our staff disinfects the surfaces in the laundry area such as the knobs and the door pull on the washing machine and dryer.

◦ Laundry bins that hold dirty and clean laundry are kept separated and washed between uses with bleach or other EPA – registered disinfectants.

◦ Once linens are bagged by laundry staff, it is placed on the porch for pick up at a certain time and cleaners will pick up bags and all supplies one at a time.

◦ Housekeepers will return the laundry bag at the end of the day and it will be washed and ready for the next turn day.

Family Fun in Salvo
Overall our vacation was a 5, but this house is more like a 3. The property has great potential, but has not been maintained. The pool was fantastic, but was surrounded by weeds and included a pile of broken and rusted pool toys. The pool loungers(3) were all broken and unusable. It was nice to have direct access to the beach, a short walk over the dunes for a day in the sand. However, the fence door was not secure and with a dog and small child, this was a concern. The host was informed and was responsive, but the issue was not resolved. The house itself worked out great for our group with plenty of room to spread out inside and out. It could have been cleaner(walls and floors) and just needed more attention to details like clogged bathtubs and broken blinds. With a little effort, this property could easily be a 5.

Best House Yet
The house is perfectly situated and sized for us, a family of five, with a private pool and direct access to the beach. The interior is nothing fancy but clean and functional - actually nicer than what we saw in the pictures provided. It's clear that the owners are invested in keeping the house updated and were responsive to questions we had during hour trip. Overall, it was an excellent house to spend the week. We plan on going back.

Could be great!
Location was perfect! And we loved the pool tho it wasn't heated, but one warm day it was tolerable. While we were fans of the house, the furnishings seemed haphazard and convenient. The furniture doesn't fit the house and the linens were of poor quality(think cheap hotel). But we liked the layout and design of the house.and the decks! I wish there had been a table and more visit-friendly chair sets on the many decks. We were able to cook no problems. There was no extra anything tho, not paper towels or toilet paper or trash bags. The hand soaps were nearly empty and no dish liquid or powder/pods. Not even salt and pepper. Some kitchen towels would have been nice also. I sound as if i am complaining however i can honestly say we enjoyed our time here and would stay again. Just want the owners to know it could be even better! One last thing- when we arrived, we found and envelope asking for a gratuity from the cleaner. I leave a tip for outstanding service. This was not. There was trash behind the nightstand, which i left, and there are crumbs in the silverware holder. Just doing a few things could make this house into a more comfortable home.

New to OBX
New mattresses were much appreciated. Property owner is making many efforts to improve this property. If you’re not familiar with the dune situation in OBX be prepared for crossing to be a challenge, not a reflection of the property owner just something I wasn’t quite ready for. Currently there wasn’t a good seating choice for older guests that need to put their feet up, again not a reflection on the owner just something I should have realized when booking, hopefully new living room furniture will be in the future. *house was no longer brown, but rather a beautifully updated turquoise!

Just what we needed! Centrally located between Avon/Hatteras and Nags Head. Easy access to the beach. The beach was clean and quiet. House had the basic amenities needed. They are in the process of updating and the owner was open with upgrades and work being done. It was dog friendly and we appreciated the fenced in yard! Looking forward to next year!

On the beach with a pool!
The house is located on the beach with a beautiful pool in Salvo, NC. The house is spacious with three bed rooms, two bathrooms and a full kitchen. It also has a washer and dryer which is perfect for a beach house. It also has a roof deck! The pictures are exactly what we saw when we arrived. We enjoyed our week in Salvo.

Much needed, wonderful stay
This was the perfect get away for my family. The house was very comfortable and this is probably the first vrbo I have rented that actually had decent TV service and reception (Thank you). The pool felt wonderful and clean and well kept. The beach was beautiful and not crowded. I enjoyed greatly being able to wake up and walk out through the dunes to watch the sunrise. In the same breath I was able to catch some amazing lightning from the storms which luckily rolled through in the evenings and overnight. There was great communication with the owners or rental management as they were truly wanting to make sure we had no issues with the house. I truly appreciate their concern on my behalf. The only thing I would suggest to future renters (no fault of the property/owners) grab your milk and eggs and other necessities before getting to the property. There is a run on those items with everyone else coming to their vacation rentals. The closest grocery is 20 min. South in Avon.

A great family location
Our family of six adults and one infant had a great stay at Family Affairs! In the morning we would take the short walk over the dunes and spend the morning on the non-crowded, dog friendly beach. Since it was a short walk, we would leave our stuff on the beach and come back to the house for lunch. After we had enough beach time, we came back to hose off in the outdoor shower and enjoyed the pool. The pool was awesome, a great size and blocked from the wind! The pool has a large enclosed area which was great for our dogs to enjoy. There is a nice deck, which gets shade in the afternoons, so it was great for eating dinner and relaxing outside. The neighborhood is quiet and the road is suitable for walking the dogs or taking the baby for a stroller ride. Two streets away is a bike path and an ice cream shop. Overall the house was well set up, spacious, and clean. We would definitely return. Thanks!

Family Affair, indeed!
This is our second consecutive stay at Family Affair and it was lovely! The new a/c unit with temp sensors was perfect and we were very comfortable. The house was very fresh and tidy upon our arrival as well. The trail to the beach is so convenient and everyone really enjoyed the pool. We knew there was no shade so we took a special sun tarp for ourselves. A pergola in the future would add that much more oomph for guests. The house is within easy driving distance for restaurants and mini-golfing, as well as other things. One of our daughters is relocating to a northern State due to a job change for her so getting to spend time with her, her husband and our grandson along with our other daughter and her family was extra special this year. This vacation and time with family was much needed as my father passed away in March of this year. He loved the Outer Banks and would have had a great time. It was definitely a pleasure staying at Family Affair and I'm sure future guests will also enjoy their stay there.

Lovely place! We will be back next year.
We couldn't have asked for a nicer week at the ocean in OBX! This place had everything we needed. It allowed us to take our dogs, had a clean, private pool, was just a walk over the dune to the ocean, had a hot and cold outdoor shower, had extra dishes and glasses and had every appliance we needed. The only 2 drawbacks were no icemaker in the fridge and to see the ocean, one had to climb up to the patio on the top of the house. Stores were close enough however, to pick up ice as we needed it. The beach here was never crowded and the owners and the property managers were prompt if we needed anything. All in all, a great week.

Great family and pet friendly beachfront rental!
We had a great experience renting this property for our family of 5 and the family dog. The week was sunny and warm, it was nice to have the air conditioning inside after a long day at the beach or pool. The pool was a huge hit, perfect size for the property and the fenced in yard was great to keep track of the dog. Some extra pool and beach toys under the house with a wagon came in handy as well. The house was well cleaned prior to our arrival and having the towels in plastic wrap gave us that extra clean comfort. All kitchen appliances we needed were there and plenty of options in the area to order from as well. Having the outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach was nice, and the 3 levels of deck were appreciated. We got some beautiful views of both sunrise and sunset from the top level, and seeing the boats on the water was also nice. The house will need continued TLC as it is showing age in some areas, but it has everything you need to have an amazing week in the Outer Banks! We would definitely stay here again when we come back to the area in the future!

The house was perfect for the three of us—my husband, our dog, and me. The house had an excellent beach access. We enjoyed the pool and ended up using it every day. The furniture was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. There were several good restaurants as well as souvenir shops nearby. I would definitely recommend this vacation home for guests looking for a ‘pet friendly’ beach gate away.

Spring break week at the beach
Our family of 4 (+1 dog) spent a nice relaxing week at the house. It has everything you need, particularly in the kitchen which even had an air fryer. The pool was nice, a little cool in April, but great to have it right next to the house. The beach is a short walk through the dunes and can't be seen from the house, but the ocean can be seen from the rooftop deck. There were extra sand toys, beach chairs and a wagon under house. Check in was super easy with the door key pad and a clear and informative email from the owner. Otherwise, it was clean and functional like you'd expect and we didn't have any issues while we were there. Thanks again for a great week!

Our family of 5 really enjoyed our stay here. There are great views in front and back, short & easy walk to the beach, comfortable beds & furnishings, I could go on. Salvo is the perfect spot on the OBX, not too busy but close to all you want to see. Our kids loved the pool, the shell collecting and seeing things we don't see in Michigan. We were lucky to have dolphins swim straight in front of the cottage. Thank you for sharing your home with us ☺️

Nice location
The location was nice. The layout of the house was good. The house was too short to see the ocean, so that was disappointing. The dangerous ladder stairs to the roof were impractical. The house was not very clean. The living room furniture was stained. The master bedroom had moldy water stained walls and was in the worst shape. Outside lighting was too little and not all of them were in working order.
