Horrible Safety Hazard and Roach infestation
The location is great but the house is in serious need of repair and maintenance. Rust everywhere, dry rot in most of the windows a partially collapsed ceiling- which had half of it barely hanging and ready to fall. To complete the nightmare we killed more than six large roaches in two days. We left after the second night and got a hotel Asking for a refund but the owner is dragging her feet. VRBO needs to step in and get my money back. This is not an executive retreat. It’s a nightmare. Help VRBO!!! If I don’t get my money back I will report her and the service to the city as a health hazard.

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.

I would not recommend this House to anyone, Ant. Infested, and and owner was not honest about it
I would not recommend anyone to stay at this house. It is totally infested with ants and I also seen roaches on fourth floor bedroom and office area where so bad. When I woke up the morning. My bed was fulll of tiny ants and I had bites all over me contacted the owner. Yes, she did respond quickly. She brought us over ant traps and hung them on our door. I ended up contacting her again about the leaks, and the upstairs bathroom floor was wet. Then again about the ants all over our food in the kitchen. She told me in my message she wasn’t aware of the ants being that bad. I looked back at the reviews like I should have in the beginning and it mentioned it several times so she lied. She also told me the ants don’t bite they do. I looked it up to make sure I wasn’t losing my mind But I wasn’t. I try to be nice and patient but I itched the whole three full days we were there. Some of my family left Thursday evening because they couldn’t take it anymore. We checked in Monday and left at 7 AM Friday morning. I contact her and ask her for some of my money back for the inconvenience, Being miserable because of the bite & food loss. She told me that if we left Thursday night, she would reimburse us one day. Easier said than done. I have two older parents and my aunt was an oxygen. I have screenshots of our messages. I have photos of my bites. I have videos of the ants and everything that I’m talking about. She told me she was done talking to me and to deal with it through Vrbo.

Amazing place in its day!!
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.

Beyond Disgusting
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.

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.

Ants, Cockroaches, and Mold!!
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

The cleaning was not good. We had to mop the kitchen floor so we would not stick to it. No hot water up in the master bedroom. Hot tub was not filled could not use, also seen exposed wiring that look to be live. The condition of the deck was horrible was afraid my grandchildren would get hurt on it. The ants were horrible in the whole house. Was shocked that we only received one key to the house.

Girls' Weekend
The location is amazing. The house has a lot of deferred maintenance. The walkway to the beach was very dangerous. Loose or missing railings... sagging boards that were so loose we were scared to put weight on them. Stairs that when you stepped on them shifted under your weight. Also two of the bathrooms had not been cleaned prior to our arrival (toothpaste in sinks and hairs everywhere). We had a great time, the elevator made it easy to bring in our luggage, etc., just wish the accommodations had been in better condition.

Misleading images
The only positive thing about this house was the view of the ocean and the nice neighborhood! The previous review problems are all still there. The gaping hole in the ceiling exposing insulation, pipes & wires; the very unsafe deck with uneven boards and wobbly railings; all the sliding doors have an issue whether they don't lock at all or can't even be opened. Water was dripping in at the living room glass door, significantly, during a rain which also lead to a leak in the third floor ceiling leaving a huge puddle on the ceramic tile floor that caused a huge safety issue. There's also a huge crack in a window that looks like at any moment it'll come crashing down. The master suite shower is quite dangerous to climb into without safety handles to grab onto. All the tables in the living area are glass tops with sharp edges....so families with small children beware. The very first day a cockroach was discovered in the kitchen which left the rest of the family weary of wanting to eat in. The kitchen is also missing a base cabinet and another is duct taped together. Still there are missing light bulbs, exposed light fixtures and switches that don't seem to operate anything. The downstairs "dormitory room" has a horrible, horrible odor and is not fit to sleep in especially if someone has a respiratory situation. The unfinished, plywood walk-in closets are very odd. Not sure what's going on with this property, but it'll rent due to it's location....and that's a shame!

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.

NOT as it appears
THOUGHT we were getting luxury home for our family vacation. Built in 1991, it WAS an incredible house but is in desperate need of repairs. VRBO complaints from 2021 unresolved! Landlord’s replies indicate these are resolved but “repairs” are slipshod at best - kitchen cabinet doors loosely duct-taped on, no door for slide-out kitchen garbage cans, light fixtures w/bare bulbs, screens ripped & falling apart, old mattresses & pillows (mattress covers supposedly sprayed with Lysol?) no hot water in basement shower, garbage under beds, dirty socks, trash, & animal feces strewn around patio & exterior. Decking is falling apart, zip-tied together, & DANGEROUS! Basement dorm room sliding glass door almost impossible to open - it bucks like a bronco. Landlord actually told me to go out the front door and come around to use patio and/or for beach access (previous complaints about this 3 years ago). More unresolved complaints: jacuzzi inoperable, bathroom floor tiles missing, ceiling damaged & bare insulation showing, sliding glass doors in queen bedrooms broken & will not open (one handle is hanging by a thread.) Landlord: “don’t use those sliding glass doors,” so some of the balconies are unavailable. Incredible view - water steps away. 3-story windows in Liv room (but WINDOW AC unit badly fitted w/plywood - daylight shows through cracks & temperature control is poor - it gets very hot). With a little effort and a few small repairs, this could be an amazing place!

Awesome beach getaway
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.

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.

local conference stay
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.

The location was awesome! The dolphins gave us a show everyday! The house has a truly unique feel. The elevator was a help to get our stuff upstairs to all the floors. The kitchen was well stocked with all of our needs. The staircase ensured that we got our steps in everyday. The house needs some repairs but our host Lori is making them happen. Lori was extremely easy to contact and communicate with.

Great Property, Needs Some Touch-Ups
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

Excellent Location
The architecture was very unique. Reminded us of a Frank Loyd Wright design. Breathtaking view… see dolphins surfacing several times every day! The most exceptional aspect of the property is the view- I would strongly encourage whoever stays here to gets up for the sunrise! Side note: On the middle floor, I would suggest fixing the sliding doors - remove the hanging handle, Attach the loose tile in the second bedroom . Provide an instruction manual for basic appliances- : Gen-air, TV, Sauna master bedroom, jacuzzi, resetting WI-FI locations. Locations of thermostats. Overall- exceptional- view- beach- access to basic needs- wonderful neighborhood to take walks- ease of access.

Great house on Croatan
This house is right on the Atlantic and we had the beach to ourselves A LOT. It was a very spacious home and definitely met all the needs of our family. The dramatic staircase is unforgettable. There was an ocean view from basically every room. VB Boardwalk was a mile away by car. We had a few technical and mechanical issues but the host was very responsive. If you’re ok with a lot of steps (or an elevator) this place was a great beach stay!
