The Captain's Hook

The house is large enough for a small extended family with children but is lacking some comfort. The beds and pillows, like other reviewers have already mentioned, are very uncomfortable. I recommend bringing your own pillow. The pool is a nice feature but the outdoor furniture is mediocre and dirty. We didn't use it but it's worth noting that if you decide to use the grill, it might not have been cleaned from the previous user. Yes, you have 2 towels, hand towels, and rags for each bedroom and there is a single roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. Each bed has a bottom sheet, top sheet, and comforter/blanket available. You will need to provide laundry detergent to launder these items throughout the week. There are plenty of dinnerware, silverware, cookware. The refrigerator does not have a water or ice dispenser but does have an ice maker. Dining room table is very large and can hold lots of people. The air conditioning responds well but has difficulty keeping some of the bedrooms cool during the night.We did experience a clog in the toilet. After submitting a fix-it-form to Village Realty, a maintenance worker and follow-up plumber responded quickly and professionally. There are also employees that come around and take care of rolling trash cans to and from the curb and pool maintenance. The playground area, fitness center, and welcome center are nice and accommodating. Harris Teeter is about 1/2 of a mile away! Timbuk II shopping center is just up the street and a great place to go for shopping. If you want to drive down to Kitty Hawk, Nags Head, etc just remember that you are driving through Duck and Southern Shores which is a 35 mph single lane road. Everyone drives the speed limit so you can estimate a good 30 minutes from Kitty Hawk to the house. Don't forget to buy your $50; if you are accessing the 4x4 beach. It's free to drive on the beach but to park you need the pass. The area police are constantly driving up and down the beach so you will get asked to leave if you don't have a parking pass. There is an air station about 1.5 miles south of the beach access point, near the lighthouse. The closest beach access point requires driving and you might not find parking. You will not be able to walk to the beach from this house. Overall, a good house in a great community. No worries of theft when leaving items in the truck beds or hanging out to dry. I would recommend this house to the budget conscious family looking to vacation in OBX that has 4x4 capabilities and is going to drive on the beaches.

House was great but pool and outdoor furniture was filthy, had to clean outselves

The home was great! Plenty of room for our family and the location was perfect.

We loved the amenities and the pool! The best was the Pine Island Beach Club! The house is perfect with the exception of two things: the mattresses are hard as a rock and the barstools are very uncomfortable. Otherwise wed love to come back again next year!

This home is perfect for a small extended family (in our case, family of 4 along with Grandma & Uncle). Home was very clean, though the outdoor furniture was basically unusable & needs to be replaced or at the very least thoroughly power washed. Nice layout & very spacious living area. We also love having access to the beach club (seems to be a little known gem!). However, I will not rent this house again unless the owner replaces the mattresses! They are AWFUL, even for a rental home. I'm in my 30s & woke up stiff & sore every morning. A real shame as otherwise this house is just about perfect for us.
