End of Summer Beach Trip

This property suited our family of three well. We did not cook any meals, so we didn't get a full look at the kitchen, appliances, etc. Dining area and lower level living area were spacious for us. Steps away and easy entry to the beach and pool area. Close proximity to grocery store, restaurants and aquarium. Pine Knoll Shores is very peaceful, but easy to get to Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach and Morehead City if you're looking for more activity.

Perfect for family with young kids

We loved the location of the property, on the beach, and the pool. My children used the boards everyday on the beach and the kitchen was aptly supplied to cook some meals. This was our first vrbo booking and we’re very satisfied. I’d recommend the area and this condo for the perfect beach getaway. My kids are 6-11years so the stairs were no problem for us.

Great location but needs improvements

We absolutely love the Ocean Glen neighborhood! Unfortunately the condo needs some improvement with cleanliness and decor. Jeff and the management team were nice to work with but I wish they had communicated to us the construction work that was being done on the outside of the property during our stay. We had to park across the street during our stay and it was difficult for a couple of disabled individuals in our family. Jeff did most of the communication through VRBO but when it came to alerting me about the construction he sent me a private email entitled “Jeff.” I only found the email after we had arrived at the property and while I was on the phone with Jeff having a conversation about some electrical issues. During our phone conversation Jeff had alerted me that he sent me an email about the construction. I wish Jeff had emailed me through the VRBO site so that we could have made the decision to cancel before we arrived. Also, I was very disappointed in the cleanliness. I paid quite a bit of money for a cleaning fee but the carpets had stains, the vents and furniture were severely dusty, and the carpets were not vacuumed.

Back-to-school vacay 23'

Overall, a great property. clean and well maintained group of condos. Not directly oceanfront. Pictures are a bit misleading as they suggest "your own" boardwalk and OF deck. However, this is a shared boardwalk between shared OF deck and pool. The Pool was GREAT! Large, 3-8 ft deep, lots of seating, area to lounge in sun. No waterhose under carport, owner suggested we could use the neighbors hookup but we felt odd asking and the hookup was enclosed and covered in spiderwebs. Need more clothesline/clothespins in carport area. Condo had enough space and we didnt feel cramped! A wardrobe or dresser in the living room would be a welcome addition. Small ocean view balcony off the MB but no chairs. Would have been nice to sit on the balcony and watch ocean. Full size W/D was great!! Kitchen was "comfortable". Bring your own pots and skillets. Plenty of dishes, glasses, silverware. The sunroom seemed pointless to us as you cant leave the sliding door open with the AC on. Would have been a great seating area for eating but we didn't want to risk spills on the couch. Large dining table in adjoining room though. Bring stuff for meals or be prepared to drive for food! Hardly anyone delivers to the area, not even doordash! There are a few restaurants, Mcdonalds and bojangles are within 10 miles, gas stations, Food lion and dollar general are close. Beach hardly ever crowded. NO SHELLS or teeth though!

Very close to the beach!

The house was very nice but we did find some areas that could have been cleaned a little better. Very close to the beach and the pool which was what we were looking for! We traveled with our toddler grandson not realizing how many stairs were in the house. He did fine but just putting that out there for others. The house had plenty of beach and pool accessories which was a plus. It could use a few better frying pans in the kitchen but we made due. Would definitely book here again. The community is clean and all the people were very friendly!

Great spot for easy beach access!

We enjoyed our week here! The listing was exactly as described. Easy access to the beach, plenty of room for our family of 5! We visited the aquarium (twice!) when the heat index was over 100. So many great things to do in the area. We will definitely be back. Jeff was a good sport when the Keurig malfunctioned on us. We were able to fix it, but worried the host might be upset about a broken appliance. He had a sense of humor about it and obviously knew “things happen”.
