Retro Relaxation

It was so quiet and so relaxing. I enjoyed the views and especially the ocean during the full moon! I believe if more investments are made many more will book this 90s vibe vacation home. This is definitely a vintage treasure and should be maintained but not toy changed. Lori is very communicative and I felt safe the entire time. Thank you for the stay.

The location is amazing. The house is very spacious, a little worn but met our expectations. The beach is great, saw some dolphins. Suggest to bring a Bluetooth speaker for tunes.

Amazing place in its day!!

Beautiful views, lots of room, interesting architecture and lovely setting. Unfortunately, it needs a lot of TLC due to leaks, and simply being quite old. It doesn’t appear it’s used a lot. Ants were prevalent, especially in the master bath and others.. A few cockroaches were in the closets also. Might need fumigation. Even though those were the issues, my friends, and I enjoyed our stay, regardless of the crummy weather. fumigation.

Horrible Safety Hazard and Roach infestation

The location is great but the house is in serious need of repair and maintenance. Rust everywhere, dry rot in most of the windows a partially collapsed ceiling- which had half of it barely hanging and ready to fall. To complete the nightmare we killed more than six large roaches in two days. We left after the second night and got a hotel Asking for a refund but the owner is dragging her feet. VRBO needs to step in and get my money back. This is not an executive retreat. It’s a nightmare. Help VRBO!!! If I don’t get my money back I will report her and the service to the city as a health hazard.

Ants, Cockroaches, and Mold!!

I highly discourage anyone staying at this house. We arrived to ants on the kitchen table, floors and in the dishwasher. At night we saw 2 inch cockroaches along the floorboards. Great views to the ocean, just don't lean on any part of the deck because it's not attached and falling apart. A family member almost fell off the deck while looking over the dunes. All the showers and bathrooms had mold on the ceilings and hairs in the tub. We love Virginia Beach but not this house

Lack of toilet paper

Loved the location of this house!! Just be aware that even though it lists that it comes with paper towel and toilet paper - ONLY one roll of toilet paper is given per bathroom and one roll of paper towel in the kitchen. That's all. If you want more, you must provide them yourself.

Girls' Weekend

The location is amazing. The house has a lot of deferred maintenance. The walkway to the beach was very dangerous. Loose or missing railings... sagging boards that were so loose we were scared to put weight on them. Stairs that when you stepped on them shifted under your weight. Also two of the bathrooms had not been cleaned prior to our arrival (toothpaste in sinks and hairs everywhere). We had a great time, the elevator made it easy to bring in our luggage, etc., just wish the accommodations had been in better condition.

Awesome beach getaway

This house is an awesome place to get away and relax. There are some issues with the house itself, such as part of the ceiling missing and exposed insulation, but nothing that interfered with the security or comfort of the home. The host did advertise a jacuzzi tub, but the jacuzzi function did not work. Outdoor hot tub was also out of service. Apart from those issues, we had a pleasant stay. The neighborhood is nice, and is close to many great restaurants and attractions.

The cleaning was not good. We had to mop the kitchen floor so we would not stick to it. No hot water up in the master bedroom. Hot tub was not filled could not use, also seen exposed wiring that look to be live. The condition of the deck was horrible was afraid my grandchildren would get hurt on it. The ants were horrible in the whole house. Was shocked that we only received one key to the house.

Great View, with a big caveat.

This house is in an amazing location and has a great view of the ocean through huge three-story windows looking out over the dunes. It has great bones and was once probably the shining jewel of Croatan Beach.  Sadly, the property has fallen into a state of disrepair. The first thing that greets you when you walk in the door is the distinct smell of mold and mildew. That’s because the house has leaks. This has led to water stains and peeling paint throughout the house, and the ceiling has fallen down in places.  While the beach is beautiful, your path to reach it is slightly perilous. The deck is falling apart, so don’t lean on any railings lest they topple over, and watch out for boards that are rotting out.  If you just want the view and the proximity to the beach, this house is excellent! If you want the beach and a nice well kept home (much less “executive retreat”) you should probably keep looking.

Beyond Disgusting

We received the key code and went to check into the home. The location is great. Upon entry a smell of moisture and mold hits you. As we walked through the home the leaking roof and mold was apparent. The home has mold and mildew around every window, door and the HVAC vents. All of the ceramic tile areas have broken and loose ceramic tiles- a hazardous condition at a home on the beach where you don’t wear shoes. Sharp edges will cut feet. The decking is old and dangerous. We had respiratory reactions to the mold in the short time we were in the property. vRBO asked us to photograph all of the fallen Sheetrock, rotten door and windows, broken tiles. After weeks of subjecting ourselves to the VRBO lack of responding, we did a fraud charge back through our credit card company. It was the only way we could get justice. I have photos of the mold and awful state of condition.

Interesting House in a great location.

We had a great long weekend in this rental home. The owner was friendly and communicated well. The location was amazing. The only notable issue was the house needs a little TLC. It was showing its age a bit, however, it didn't significantly affect our stay. We would definitely go back!

A house loaded with character, amazing oceanside location!

The gorgeous ocean view (generously sprinkled with dolphins) from the large deck and wall of windows make a stay in this home very special. Located in a lovely neighborhood, we enjoyed using the home’s large kitchen and gas grill (who needs to go out to dinner with a view like that). There are multiple spaces for dining, playing cards and spending time together. The owner (who is local) was very responsive to any questions we had throughout our stay. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable week.

The location was awesome! The dolphins gave us a show everyday! The house has a truly unique feel. The elevator was a help to get our stuff upstairs to all the floors. The kitchen was well stocked with all of our needs. The staircase ensured that we got our steps in everyday. The house needs some repairs but our host Lori is making them happen. Lori was extremely easy to contact and communicate with.

Spacious With Awesome Views

Great location and spacious house right on the ocean! The amount of space and uniqueness of the house was awesome for our family's desires. The house is in need of some TLC repairs/updates and just with any place you rent nothing is going to be perfect. Most importantly, you are at the beach and even when not on the beach you have awesome views of the beach from the house including watching the sun rise in the morning! We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
