The building jas some issues with many of the higher end amenities not working. The location and views are incredible. Only one of the doors to the back deck opened smoothly. The middle door fell on my son he was able to hold it up till assistance arrived, a younger child may have been in trouble.
The location is amazing. The house is very spacious, a little worn but met our expectations. The beach is great, saw some dolphins. Suggest to bring a Bluetooth speaker for tunes.

Retro Relaxation
It was so quiet and so relaxing.
I enjoyed the views and especially the ocean during the full moon!
I believe if more investments are made many more will book this 90s vibe vacation home.
This is definitely a vintage treasure and should be maintained but not toy changed.
Lori is very communicative and I felt safe the entire time. Thank you for the stay.

Lack of toilet paper
Loved the location of this house!! Just be aware that even though it lists that it comes with paper towel and toilet paper - ONLY one roll of toilet paper is given per bathroom and one roll of paper towel in the kitchen. That's all. If you want more, you must provide them yourself.
This house is an awesome place to get away and relax. There are some issues with the house itself, such as part of the ceiling missing and exposed insulation, but nothing that interfered with the security or comfort of the home. The host did advertise a jacuzzi tub, but the jacuzzi function did not work. Outdoor hot tub was also out of service. Apart from those issues, we had a pleasant stay. The neighborhood is nice, and is close to many great restaurants and attractions.
Beautiful views, lots of room, interesting architecture and lovely setting. Unfortunately, it needs a lot of TLC due to leaks, and simply being quite old. It doesn’t appear it’s used a lot. Ants were prevalent, especially in the master bath and others.. A few cockroaches were in the closets also. Might need fumigation. Even though those were the issues, my friends, and I enjoyed our stay, regardless of the crummy weather. fumigation.
I highly discourage anyone staying at this house. We arrived to ants on the kitchen table, floors and in the dishwasher. At night we saw 2 inch cockroaches along the floorboards. Great views to the ocean, just don't lean on any part of the deck because it's not attached and falling apart. A family member almost fell off the deck while looking over the dunes. All the showers and bathrooms had mold on the ceilings and hairs in the tub. We love Virginia Beach but not this house

Great View, with a big caveat.
This house is in an amazing location and has a great view of the ocean through huge three-story windows looking out over the dunes. It has great bones and was once probably the shining jewel of Croatan Beach.
Sadly, the property has fallen into a state of disrepair. The first thing that greets you when you walk in the door is the distinct smell of mold and mildew. That’s because the house has leaks. This has led to water stains and peeling paint throughout the house, and the ceiling has fallen down in places.
While the beach is beautiful, your path to reach it is slightly perilous. The deck is falling apart, so don’t lean on any railings lest they topple over, and watch out for boards that are rotting out.
If you just want the view and the proximity to the beach, this house is excellent! If you want the beach and a nice well kept home (much less “executive retreat”) you should probably keep looking.
We received the key code and went to check into the home. The location is great. Upon entry a smell of moisture and mold hits you. As we walked through the home the leaking roof and mold was apparent. The home has mold and mildew around every window, door and the HVAC vents. All of the ceramic tile areas have broken and loose ceramic tiles- a hazardous condition at a home on the beach where you don’t wear shoes. Sharp edges will cut feet. The decking is old and dangerous. We had respiratory reactions to the mold in the short time we were in the property. vRBO asked us to photograph all of the fallen Sheetrock, rotten door and windows, broken tiles. After weeks of subjecting ourselves to the VRBO lack of responding, we did a fraud charge back through our credit card company. It was the only way we could get justice.
I have photos of the mold and awful state of condition.

Different than expected but good overall
In town for an event during very early spring. Overall it was fun, easy, comfortable and laidback. However looking at the pictures we thought this was a lavish place. It might have been MANY years ago. I do not feel that the place is well maintained. Nothing horrible, just quirky things. Ceiling falling down in one section, cabinet door broken and some of the veneer coming off. Door to outside in dormitory room broken. Window in master bedroom broken (wont close well). Deck is VERY rickety and feels unsafe in many areas. Many lights do not work. I feel that property is slightly more complex than others and it would be helpful for the owner to do a walkthrough and instructional or provide written instructions. Elevator was a huge help at check in/out given the crazy stairs. Art and decor is VERY cool. View was fabulous along with amazing beach access. Short drive to the VB city etc. Lovely community. Overall we enjoyed ourselves once we got acclimated.
Overall, our stay was great. The home is in a great location, the beach is beautiful, and it's an easy drive to most places in the area. The property is very spacious.
Some issues we had: Various light switches in the house didn't work (especially in the two queen bedrooms / bathrooms), the outdoor shower wouldn't turn on, the railing on the back deck was breaking, and the speaker system didn't work. We noticed some ceiling damage above the entrance to the downstairs bedroom. It looked slightly patched, but still looked concerning
We didn't contact the host about most of these issues (contacted her for the speakers, she said they didn't work) and instead chose to focus on having a good time in the house (which we did!). If these minor issues are fixed, this property would have blown us away. The location is perfect, the house is beautiful overall, and we really enjoyed our stay here.
Also, the note in the listing to bring your own towels and sheets should be more visible. We didn't see that until the host reminded us a couple days before we arrived (we were very thankful for that so we could pack some! she also provided a link to a rental service which was nice). I've never stayed at a vacation home before that didn't provide sheets and towels so that was a bit of a surprise. Our fault for missing that in the listing, but still should be more visible so others are more prepared for that
Well, first let me say - Lori is very responsive to your communications and needs during your stay - so do not hesitate to contact her if you need something managed.
I will say that when I read the reviews last year, before renting this house and the one next door I didn't see all the reviews I'm seeing this year which seem quite neg. After staying there and reviewing recent reviews I will say the following.
We had a large group 21 pp that shared two houses - we were 3 churches pooling our resources to make a local counseling conference more affordable for more pp to come. We succeeded in staying at these rentals - we could make our food on sight - the kitchen had all the utensils and bowls, and pans we needed - I don't always find that in houses we rent - it had both a perk pot and a keurig allowing for the various coffee/tea drinkers to do what they needed.
these homes are aging and are used by weekly renters so things begin to happen, I do believe the owner knows about them and addressing them - further these houses are for sale. what I noticed I mentioned to the owner - for instance the cleaning service she uses didn't clean something I mentioned it and she said she would get right on it with them. I'm pretty confident the issue was resolved for the next renter - so when I say she's responsive just message her.
your on the beach - house is clean - organized and we had our own school of dolphins all week - amazing.
great host. place was well prepared. great location

House is in a great location but very run down. Virtually nothing was provided either, it’s a do it yourself deal for everything…no linens, towels, bathing supplies and only a starting roll of toilet paper.

This property should not be charging what they do. We have rented oceanfront properties every season and this is by far the worst experience we have had.
Place was great, and location...perfect! Lori/owner couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. Home right on beach - perfect views and overall a perfect vacation.
The location and views is 1000% you will go crazy with the stairs in the house. But there is an elevator so checking in with bags is easy. Everything is good shape. But if you have a critical eye like me you will find issues. Hopefully they revolve them soon.
