Great stay!

This home was perfect for our vacation. Very comfortable for our group of 7. Notable things are the spacious living and dining area and easy check in and out process. Its a short walk to the beach and a short drive to the grocery store. Would recommend for any larger groups, and would definitely stay here again my self.

Fits the needs of a large group

The views and sunsets were amazing! Especially watching it from the hot tub on the top deck! Spacious for many people and my dogs were happy to be able to run around the deck. Close to the beach! We enjoyed our stay as a family of 6 + 2 dogs

House great but Vacasa lacking.

The location was great and the house was fine. If you are staying more than 2 or 3 days make sure to bring or be prepared to buy paper towels, garbage bags, dishwashing soap, etc

Close to beach!

The house was within easy walking distance to the beach. My dog loved lounging in the sun on the deck, and the hot tub was great. Beds were comfortable. Certain areas of the home could have been cleaner on arrival. Overall a nice stay!

Great location!

This was a great vacation spot for our family and friends. Plenty of space for all of us and the deck was our favorite spot to relax! Short walk to the beach and just enough places to eat and stores to have options.

Good location, clean, comfortable house

As far south as you can go before reaching the Hatteras Nat'l Seashore. Beach - 3 minute walk, beautiful, blue water. Nice sunset views to the west over the sound. AC worked great. All was very clean. Everything you need in a beach rental.

Large spacious home

The home was large and great location . There was flooding in the driveway, which is no fault of the owner . It had rained a lot the previous week . So getting in and out of the house was challenging.

Better than expected

The cleanliness and the accommodations this house provided were awesome, I expected to find signs of previous tenants with pets, damaged and stained furniture, broken fixtures for the rental rate of the home, but nope everything was clean and worked as it should. Very impressed and will definitely book again.

Great Beach House

Plenty of rooms and bathrooms! Hot tub on top deck was perfect. Big living room with lots of space and the kitchen was fully loaded with pretty much everything you need if you like cooking for the group. Big dinning room table. Lots of decks. Decks galore! Even a screened in section to keep the bugs out. You can walk to the beach or just drive across the street and park at ramp 38 if you’re feeling lazy. Definitely recommend!!! Thanks guys!

A couple of nights get away

We arrived at the house late at night. It was a bit hard to find. Additional lighting would have been helpful. The trash under the car port smelled bad due to a broken trash can. The bedrooms were all very nice and the common rooms were also nice and clean. However, the refrigerator was linking water from under the freezer and the top floor bedroom did not have soap or shampoo. The front and back yards were nicely kept. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will consider this property for a future stay.

Very Nice Home

As Good As It Gets is a wonderful choice for a vacation stay. Parking is a bit of a problem, and when it rained the driveway was flooded. It was a bit of a hike to the beach for us 70 year olds and it was very hot this week, but we survived. The house is roomy - plenty of seating for guests and a perfect bedroom set up for the group. Three bedrooms with baths was very appreciated. Sorry there was no game room. The kitchen has so many utensils and plenty of pots, pans, dishes, etc. I would prefer not having the hot tub in the sun, but it was a great hot tub. We brought our own small charcoal grill, but there is one provided in the backyard. Saw 2 cockroaches which were relocated to the back yard. Nice yard with green grass. I would come back again.

Cozy house and good for larger families

This house was great for the most part. The first day we checked in, we noticed that the hot tub wasn’t working, finally got ahold of someone the next day and were basically told they’d get to it whenever they get to it, it never got fixed. Also, the ice machine didn’t work. Like another review stated, it would have been nice to know that we would’ve needed to bring more toilet paper, dish detergent, laundry detergent and paper towels. The hours for the community pool (a little over a mile away) were limited and food options in Avon were difficult to get food for dinner but luckily there is a Food Lion close by. The only other issue we had was location, you have to drive an hour for any main attractions, which for some would be great!

Do not book with Vacasa

We arrived with the shower full of sand. There was significant mold on water dispenser in the refrigerator and the A/C wasn’t working on main floor. The biggest problem was the run around we got on how/when they would fix it. The property manager still hadn’t gotten to us by mid day of the following day and we ended up packing up to move out. We couldn’t stay in a place with no working A/C as we have health issues. Plus the timeline in which they addressed the issue was not okay. A very uncomfortable situation all around.

Vacasa is the worst management company ever

The house is great. It has been our go to for over 8 years. We may never go back due to how badly Vacasa manages things and the crazy high fees plus poor customer service.
