This property had serious hygiene issues. If you have young kids or vulnerable individuals (elderly or sick) We strongly recommend to avoid this property. Upon our arrival the trashes from previous guest was not removed and the house was not cleaned. We had to spend few hours just to clean the house so it will be safe for the kids. Flies are everywhere in the house. The location of this property was great and the view is absolutely amazing. However due to poor hygiene condition we do not recommend this property. Will not return
We were fortunate to have had all our children and grandchildren for an idyllic stay at this place. Right ON the beach...it was terrific!Will definitely be doing this again.The host was super attentive to a small issue we had with the hot tub,
Spacious beach house. Loved the hot tub and ocean views. Wish the house would have been better stocked with essential cleaning type products like paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent, something to clean the counters with.
GM,
We checked out a day early. The location of the house was A+. Having professionally laundered sheets were also very nice.
If I may suggest a few things before your next guests.
Ants throughout house, mainly in kitchen/ counters and floors. Stairs and main room
Door on first floor doesnât lock
Outside shower doesnât work
Outside foot spout broken
No screens on windows and some donât open
Several toilets broken and some move around
The house was not very clean and floors were filthy when we checked in
The lower front entrance covered with sand and 2 filthy chairs sitting at entrance when we arrived
No ice maker
Freezer handle comes off when opening
Broken draws on bins in refrigerator with sharp corners
Beach chairs rusted and broken
Entire 1 st floor smells like mold, especially the media room
TV in 1 st Fl king room doesnât work
Garbage was completely full in all cans
It was obvious that there wasnât a walk through before we arrived. This house truly needs attention and I thought I would share my observations. The houses in the area are clearly more updated.
We loved the location
Thank you
Pat
Our vacation was perfect. The house is right on the beach -- can't get better than that! The hosts are super friendly and helpful -- when we needed anything at all, they responded immediately and made sure we were taken care of. The kitchen is modern and well stocked; a great place for people to come together to cook or schmooze. The house was very clean, well decorated and comfortable. We appreciated the beach chairs; so nice to just grab one on the way down to the water. The movie theater was a huge bonus! The elevator came in handy for an older family member who struggles with steps. I am so grateful that we got to stay here, and I would absolutely vacation here again. I can't recommend Saltaire enough. A million thanks to the hosts; your hospitality was above and beyond. You made it possible for our family to make precious memories against the most beautiful backdrop.
Home was well appointed. Clean, nice furniture, bathrooms and bedding. Amazing views. Kitchen had everything we needed. Theater room was a tad musty but would expect this from carpeted basement room. Communication was excellent every step of the way. Go ahead and book with confidence!!
Overall we loved our stay. The house is clean and comfortable for the size of our group with an unbeatable location and access to the beach. The pool table was great fun and we used the theater room often. The kitchen was well stocked and the two dishwashers came in handy! No garbage disposal though. The elevator was great for bring up groceries and for my mother in law to get around. The only complaints would be that it wasnât completely ready for us by the check in time. There is no private pool although it was mentioned in the reviews so it must have been there at some point. We originally booked the property thinking we had a private pool but by the time we realized we didnât, it was too late to try and find another property. it ended up not being a big deal since we were ocean front. We did try to use the community pool on our last day but we were never given any pool passes or parking passes and we were almost not allowed to use it but the manager of the pool let us use it anyway thankfully.
Beautiful Home - Best Beach Access in the Vicinity!!!
Beautiful home, well appointed, very nice renovation on the top floor, very comfortable and inviting. Stunning views of the ocean from multiple decks on the back of the house. The elevator is a huge bonus for anyone with mobility issues or even just for carrying luggage and groceries. Very easy to keep a family entertained without leaving - pool table, hot tub, swimming pool, movie room, and of course the beach. Access to the beach was the best of any of the surrounding properties with far fewer steps to negotiate and a foot wash to keep the sand out of the house. Beach chairs, umbrellas, and some pool floats were provided. The kitchen was well stocked as far as pots, pans, dishes, etc. We didnât find the exercise room with equipment advertised on the VRBO site.
As for the cons, the house really needs AT LEAST twice the number of bath towels. There was only ONE kitchen towel. The supplies provided are reasonable for guests that live close enough to drive and just bring along the necessary things that arenât supplied. That is harder for guests that are flying in. For example, it would be nice to have hair dryers and a big pile of beach towels available. It would also be nice to have things like spices, condiments, laundry detergent, fabric softener, dishwasher tabs, etc. In other homes we have stayed in, guests would leave these types of things for the next guests to use, replenishing the items as needed. They were not cleaned out between sets of guests.
The owner should consider adding a guest book for guests to sign and leave information about the wonderful discoveries theyâve found for the next guests to read. This is a great house that could easily be a spectacular one to match its incredible location. We all loved this house and would stay here again in a heartbeat. We were lucky to have found it for our vacation!
Really nice home. Great location and great amenities. At this point I think the house can use a little updating, but that should not be a deterrent to anyone. Hopefully the owners are thinking about sprucing the place up. If they do that, it can be a spectacular property.
This was the 11th year at OBX with my family. The house and location were by far the best weâve stayed at and would definitely again book the house again for future vacations. The privacy of the property, access to the beach, the decor of the house and the amenities were great.
