Renter

The beds need new mattresses. The king size bed was very firm and worn. The queen bed was very firm. Did not use the bunk beds. The couch cushions had stains on them as well as the recliner. The recliner shows signs of wear. We couldn’t get the code to work in the front door so we used the key. Other than that the home was fabulous, next door neighbors dog barks very early in the morning. Wished the park next door would have been mowed. Would stay again but additional fees charged by Vacasa are ridiculous. Other companies do not charge the extra fees. I’ve had this happen once before with Vacasa. Will not rent any property affiliated with Vacasa because of the additional fees charged by them.

A beautiful place to stay in front of the water!

The house is pretty big, and has many windows to enjoy the view. Thoughtful amenities are plentiful, and if you follow the rules, you will have a great stay.

We will be back! This more than met our expectations. The location was in the perfect spot, minutes away from everything in Morehead City as well as Beaufort and Atlantic Beach. The amenities were just as listed. The home was perfect for renters, there was some wear on the most used items like the couch and chair, this is expected from a highly used rental. Home was very clean and in great shape. My dog quickly learned how to go up and down steps as we do not have them at home. She loved all the people and dogs that would take their evening walks down the road and became besties with the neighbor dog. The bikes were perfect for an evening ride and the park right beside the property felt like an extension of the yard. The elevator worked great for luggage and rides to the third floor when we ate too much at dinner! We could not have asked for a better place to spend the weekend and look forward to renting again when we are back in Morehead City!

Short Visit

We were in Morehead City to visit with my daughter’s fiancée. The house was as described and clean. The bed in the master had not been made, but the sheets and comforter were there and clean. We had a little difficulty with the number pad to get in, but in the long run it worked and was fine. Overall it was a good visit and nice place for our stay.

Great place

This was a spacious house the 2 bedrooms on the 3rd floor were very spacious and the bunk bed on the 1st fl were very comfortable. This house has an elevator in it so if the stairs are a problem you have that. It has everything you forgot so don’t worry about not having a cooking item because they have it here. It is very peaceful very calming ,

Seafood not Turkey

Biking and kayaking are great options. Kayaks were larger than expected so we could not use:( Views were fantastic. Freshest seafood on the grill cannot be beat! Elevator is very convenient. Decor gave a very nice ambiance to the entire house.
