Mom’s Weekend Getaway!

Debacle

We arrived at 5 pm (check in was 4 pm). We had not been given a code to get in so I contacted the person in charge (not the owner). She stated the owner was in western N.C. ‘finding bodies.’ She said she was sorry but the place was not cleaned. In the ‘rules’ it states that checkout time is 1000. Seven hours before we arrived. She offered to clean it but stated it would take two hours. She did offer us reimbursement for our dinner. We were not amenable to that solution. I contacted customer service at VRBO. While I was on the phone with them, three vehicles pulled onto the property driven by three different men. My friends and I decided to leave and continue the conversation with customer service from another location. After some ‘negotiating’ I did agree to a full refund of my money. I definitely would not recommend this property. It was unkempt on the outside with items and boxes on the lower level the person in charge did not represent the owner’s best interests.

Owners very quick to respond!

Very comfy, clean and well equipped. There was some confusion about a hot tub being on premises, as listed, but there is not a hot tub on premises. Owner quickly responded to our concerns about lack of hot tub, and even sent us a gift for the misunderstanding. This was very considerate! Downstairs tenant was very nice and offered to help us move in! Perfect location! My family was very comfortable here!

Enjoyable Visit

House was in a great location to do all the activities at the OBX. Very close to grocery store, gas stations, restaurants, etc.while in a quiet neighborhood. Close to a multiuse trail great for running, biking, or walking. House was roomy enough to accommodate the 6 of us. Bedrooms were good sizes without feeling cramped. Plenty of drawer space for your belongings. Beds are comfy. Bathroom towels are provided and in good shape. You may want to bring another set, as only one set per person is given...or do laundry often. Nice to have laundry facilities. Laundry is on the first floor. House is on the second floor. Bring a laundry basket, or it would be great if one could be provided for those not traveling to the area in a car. Kitchen had sufficient cooking pots/pans. Needed more silverware to accommodate 6 people. Would definitely consider staying here again.

This Xanadu is REALLY a Xanadu

What a lovely place to celebrate our family's Mother's Day excursion to see Kitty Hawk and the wild horses! The charming coastal decor, along with our wonderfully attentive hosts, Mike and Kim, made this a Mother's Day to remember. Every detail of our stay was attended to. Comfy beds and a wonderful entertainment system refreshed us all after a day of sightseeing; it was simply a blessing. If you are going to Kitty Hawk, you can't beat this location in a quiet neighborhood just minutes from the iconic landmark / museum and a short hop up 12 to see the wild horses. We will definitely rebook with Mike and Kim when we are back in the area. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, to our Hosts!

Comfy Cozy

Me and family members enjoyed our stay very much and were very impressed with the cottage. The cottage was exactly as described and very well kept. On a personal note we were scheduled for a deep sea fishing trip which was canceled last minute and the property owner was very accommodating in changing the date of our stay to another open date.
