Great Week!
We had a great week. The location of the home, its proximity to the beach, the size and configuration of the home all were wonderful. We spent time at the beach, in the pool and enjoying time together as a family. We would recommend staying here. Our only thought is that it is time for the home to be updated. It could use some new flooring and a general refresh compared to other homes in the area.

Beautiful home with lots of room
the home was nice and clean, third floor has ocean view and the pool and hot tub was amazing. the only thing that we did not enjoy are the neighbors they look over a lot and second night there they threw a crab in the pool, so watch for them. also the elevator was not working which would have helped a lot with groceries in a 3 story home w kitchen at the top. other than that beautiful home with the ocean a few feet away definitely recommend!!

Looks are deceiving…Do NOT recommend
This is run by a management company. It sucks. Working with an owner is so much better. I couldn’t even get an answer to my questions regarding the property BEFORE I booked, but this was one of the last houses available for my dates, (now i know why) for my grandmas birthday so I went ahead and booked anyway….Non refundable, no payment plans, and when we had issues (which will be provided below), no resolution came at all. We will not be renting this house again - unless it’s free lol. I couldn’t fit my entire review in the box but there’s more… 1. Cleanliness - Gross!! - Dirty linens in bags in the front yard, dirty linens on a few beds, dirty oven gloves & hand towels, dirty rugs, nobody swept under the couches or beds in who knows how long, dirty oven, dirty high chair, dirty ceiling fans. 2. Location - It is not oceanfront. It is ocean view with a LONG steep deck, but there are two houses behind us that are the oceanfront. - The neighborhood is so quiet and nice. 3. Broken Items Inside House - The kitchen sink faucet - One of the freezers - The bathroom in master bedroom upstairs had a railing in the tub that was broken in half leaving pipe exposed. - Multiple shower heads in the house were loose and sprayed the ceiling while on. - Bedroom doors would not close completely. - Vacasa had a repair guy come out the second day, but he told us it would take him hours to fix everything so he didn’t fix anything.…

Christmas with the family
This was a typical rental property which was owned by a group or person for the specific purpose of renting it as an investment. (This is my opinion) First of all, when I have rented before from VRBO the host was always the owner with who you could communicate with. With this property the host was Vacasa, another agency that sees after these properties and manages them for the true owner. This I do not like because it inserts another level of hosts. The property was generally clean, but the floors had never been vacuumed or swept and there was even Crums on the table. Furnishings were adequate but sparce and the floors were in dire need to be cleaned and refinished. We chose this one this year because it had an elevator. This is very necessary for us with a disabled person and greatly appreciated when the kitchen and main socializing space is on the 3rd floor. Carrying groceries and heavy luggage up is a real chore. All in all, it was adequate, and we all had a great Christmas get together. It was so much different from what we rented last year in Duck though that gave us a little disappointment. Last year our host was the owner and not a property management firm. It was equipped with everything you could possibly need and never have to run to the store to buy essentials. We were even greeted with a wine and popcorn welcome gift. We would have gone back there had it been equipped with and elevator.To VRBO--It was very confusing to rent this year. I started out renting and paying my deposit to you and also taking out the insurance from you. Then I suddenly found out that I was handed over the Vacasa who wanted the balance of the payment and kept insisting that I did not have any insurance. If I rent from you again, I only will deal with you and the host will be the owner NOT another managment firm.

Sandcastle - A Lovely Place to Relax for all Ages
Sandcastle offers plenty of accommodation for a multi-generational family or friend’s reunion. Easy access (elevator provided), high chair for a little one as well as comfy sofas and chairs for all ages. Kitchen is very well equipped with newish appliances (2 frigs, 2 dishwashers, large double ovens) and plenty of dishes. Nice sized dining table for communal eating and plenty of living spaces (indoors and outside) to find a private nook to read, converse or watch TV. Good views to the ocean from the 3rd floor and easy walking to restaurants and grocery store. Perhaps bring your bikes to explore further and a Roku for the main living room television. (Our room had streaming services - like Disney & Hulu which was fun to watch on the rainy days.)The pool and hot tub was very clean. We would stay here again.

Great home and location
This was a spacious and comfortable home with a private beach access. Although there was an odd note in the listing and email about blankets only, the beds all had comforters. We also smelled fresh paint; perhaps the home has had a recent update. The decor was more minimalist than some beach rentals, still lovely. Lots of sitting areas and a great ocean view from the top level living room. The elevator worked great but was smaller than I expected -- two people plus one suitcase was a tight squeeze. There are a variety of board games in the home. We had a great stay and would visit again.

Location is great but lower floors hot at night. They finally sent a person who said nothing was wrong. When I got back I looked at one of the two outside units and it was trying to start but couldn’t. Need better service people and quicker response.

Great Location
This was in a great location. There have been noticeable updates to the rental which made it fresh and new. One small problem with the door lock was resolved immediately. The patio door locks are tricky and not broken. Lift handle up and then lock. ☺️ One dishwasher is not working but there are two so we managed fine. Some of the drains are slow so need attention. Overall this is a beautiful property and a great location just a short walk to the beach.

Issues
For starters we had a dead animal somewhere that caused a stench in a room and we could not use it. So, we moved a couple into a room with twin beds and woke up to the carpet being saturated do to a leaky door. The windows in the master bedroom had thick black fuzzy mold in them. Surround sound didn’t work, drains were all slow. Being a holiday, and having 10 adults, we made the best of it.
