Fantastic house for a family reunion!

My family and I had a wonderful time in Ourter Banks and this house was just perfect and completely comfortable for our large group. Everything was clean and the host was very responsive to every call and text with the questions we had. The kitchen is fully equipped with large pots and serving bowls, which made it easy to prepare meals for a group of our size. The pool and hot tub were very nice addition when we got tired of the beach, which was just steps away. Highly recommend this place for reunions and get togethers.

Family fun

This house was perfect for our large family. 8 adults and 9 children. Bedrooms on each level with private bathroom for most. Great room/kitchen was large enough for all of us. Short walk to the ocean beach and larger swimming pool and hot tub. Constant fun! House was in great condition. Lots of kitchen utensils, appliances and dishes. Bed linens and towels included. We agree we would vacation here again.

Fantastic week at the Outer Banks

Our family had a great time at the Outer Banks. The house was perfect for our family, which consisted of three generations ranging from 82 to 13. It was just a couple minutes walk to the beach, and the pool and hot tub were excellent. The main living space allowed all of us to hang out and share meals together on the upper level, and it was nice to have a second living room with a pool table on the lower level to allow us to spread out as well. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. The host was very responsive and able to address small issues that came up during the week which was appreciated. Rodanthe is a less populated area with several camp sites. It is ideal if you are looking for a less crowded, more remote beach experience. We were still close enough to drive to Nagshead and Kitty Hawk to enjoy some of the features in those locations. While we planned to go to Hatteras and Ocracoke one day, we were enjoying the house and Rodanthe so much, we decided to stay put instead.

Great Stay

Our group of 18 had such a good stay here. The location is perfect...only a few steps away from the beach. The house is massive and it never felt squished even with 18 people. We didn't have any issues while we were there. I would highly recommend this spot for a large group.

Really lovely home!

My friends all enjoyed our stay so much! The kitchen was stocked with plenty of pots and pans, coffee mugs, plates, silverware, etc. We were able to cook multiple full dinners for 19 of us. Plenty of beach chairs available, boogie boards, etc. We hungout at the pool and hot tub every day and enjoyed how close to the beach the house was. Such a nice, quiet little cul-de-sac. We just had one small issue (not enough bath towels) but Doreen helped us out quickly. Small touches (like ice makers in both freezers, plenty of dishwasher and laundry pods, etc) really made the stay so much more enjoyable. We were able to squeeze 7 cars into the driveway pretty easily. I’d absolutely stay here again.

June vacation 2023

There were 14 of us, ranging in age from 23-88. The house is beautiful and spacious. It was great to have the pool and hot tub and to be so close to the beach. We had a few minor issues; most were taken care of as soon as I reported them. One of the bathrooms had an issue with the shower which was not resolved. There were a few little things but nothing major. The one thing that we really missed having was containers for food. Sounds like a small thing, but in every other place we've stayed, there were at least a few Tupperware-type containers to store food. There were none and with 14 people, storage containers are a must. We loved that all of us could sit at one table for dinner every night. The big island in the kitchen was great for prep and food service. Loved having two kitchens and 2 dishwashers in the main kitchen. We really liked the way the house was laid out and appreciated Doreen's responsiveness.

T&L MC Memorial Day Getaway

We arrived a little early for our 1pm check-in. Thought the people at the house were the cleaning crew, but later found out they were not. After they left the house, we found that we needed to clean almost everything before we could do anything. We also had an issue with locking the door. After taking multiple pictures, cleaning and finally getting myself together, I contacted the owner. After talking to the owner, the door lock issue was resolved. She then spoke with the cleaner who came by the house later that evening to explain what had happened and to make the beds that were unmade. The owner did refund 75% of our cleaning fee. The owner and cleaner were both very apologetic and very easy to talk to. The home itself was very nice and in a nice location. I just hate the situation we walked into and the stress it caused our group.

Great house, great service, will definitely stay again next year!

We LOVED this house! We had a large group of friends staying for a long weekend. The property is so pretty outside, had plenty of parking for our five vehicles, and even had an extra lot on the side for our dogs to walk! The house was spotless upon arrival - beds were all made and towels were in all of our rooms and all clean and packaged in plastic wrap. The house is at the end of a cul-de-sac, and the beach is so close. The great room has a beautiful wall of windows looking out toward the ocean. We really enjoyed our morning coffee with the ocean views. It took us less than three minutes to walk to the beach—the whole group of 20 people! It is February, and not busy season, but we love this part of the OBX because the beaches are never crowded. The house had a beach cart with some chairs for us to use which was convenient. Our friends are great cooks and found the kitchen well-equipped. Plenty of pots and pans, as well as serving dishes. Our group found plenty of seating at the large table and kitchen island. *We also enjoyed the two dishwashers for all the dinner-aftermath.* We spent a lot of time enjoying the game room on the lower level. It’s great with a big sofa, pool table, tv, and wet bar with extra fridge. The game room has a door that walks out to the pool and the hot tub. The pool wasn't opened (PM said it opens in April), but we enjoyed the large hot tub! The pool and hot tub area is fenced in and surrounded by some pine trees and was very private. We did forget a few items and had to run to the store. There is a dollar general less than five minutes down the road. They have a great grocery section—limited but had everything we needed—pet supplies, personal care stuff, alcohol, etc. We were able to order ahead on the app and just pick up at the store. Our group had so many questions lol and reached out a ton but Doreen was amazing. She is super familiar with the area and responded quickly and offered some great suggestions and recommendations. We are planning our annual friends outing for next year and will definitely stay here again!

OBX Family Fun Vacation

This was our first time staying at this home in Waves and we are looking forward to coming back next summer. We love the location and the closeness of the beach and the sound side. There was plenty of room to accommodate our families and it had enough amenities to be comfortable. When we arrived the cleaners were still there however they did their best to get things ready. We had a couple of questions when we arrived but Doreen, as the property manger, was easy to contact, quick to respond and helpful. We loved the fact that you could easily walk a short distance from the house and get to the Dairy Queen for a sweet treat and see the sunset on the sound too. There are some nice shops in the area for coffee and gifts. Lisa’s Pizza was a must do the last night so no one had to cook! The 24 hour Food Lion was only a 30 minute drive away but well stocked even for a midnight run. The pool was a great bonus and we had the availability of the hot tub although we were so busy we only used it once. The beach was perfect for boogie boarding and yet flat enough for the littles to enjoy. There was enough space to not feel overly crowded. The family consensus was that this was one of our best and most relaxed vacations ever. This was a perfect location.

Great house in a great location

We had a wonderful time staying at Island Pines. It was very clean and spacious for 16 of us. The walk to the beach was short and the pool and hot tub were used every day. Honestly the only issue about the whole stay was not enough outside garbage pails, which they were working on for us. The house meet the needs of 5 different families and we couldn’t have been happier. We would stay here again for sure!

Island Pines

According to the email I received check in was 4pm. My daughter-in-law arrived at that time. Was told by cleaning crew they needed another half hour to hour. I arrived at 5:30pm and they were just leaving. Was told there was sand all over the pool table. They did their best to clean it up. The fan in the living room and several bedrooms was coated with dirt. A light fixture in one master bath was hanging and another was loose. All air vents throughout the house were black. I don't think they have ever been cleaned. There were holes in the sheets of another master bedroom. Another had a drawer broken in the dresser and was unusable. The grill had not been cleaned at all. My son bought supplies to clean it but couldn't (I have pictures). The grease trap was so full if he tried to light the gas it would have flamed and caught everything on fire. We had to rent another grill for the week. We were told by someone that the previous people had been dancing on top of the hot tub and tore the top. We never used it. There were dirty plates and bowls in the cabinet. We were going to use them, so I hand washed them. The write up said towels were provided. Each person got one towel, hand towel and wash cloth. The coffee pot still had grounds in it The Keurig couldn't be used until it was descaled. We did not do that. The rug in one master bedroom was torn and had the imprint of an iron on it. The house is definitely spacious with plenty of bedrooms and baths. We did get a lot of use out of the pool.

Location was great.

Just a few minutes from ocean. Bedroom/ bathroom ratio was extremely desirable for our families. Pool/ hot tub was really nice to get a break from sand and salt water. And Facebook posts about heavy traffic were over exaggerated-never was at a standstill. Plus we had perfect weather all week. (Helped we could cool off in air conditioning.
