Hotel California

This house was amazing - as close to the ocean as you can get without being direct oceanfront with easy beach access. The decor & furnishings in every room were beautiful, the layout was perfect with each room having it's own bath (all very nice). The swimming pool & hot tub were very large and accommodated our group of 17 perfectly. It'd be great to have permanent shade/umbrellas in the pool area but we improvised using our beach umbrellas. We never rent the same place twice but hope to stay at Hotel California again next year!

This home was just perfect for our family. The layout ensures privacy for everyone while fully accommodating a large group comprised of 3 generations! Multiple refrigerators and laundry facilities were great, beach access was easy and convenient, and the pool area and theatre were sure enjoyed by all! We have already booked it for a return visit next summer. Some minor things could be upgraded/improved: Wifi is iffy and you could use better outdoor lighting in the pool area. That's it. All in all, a wonderful place to vacation!

We had a great time at this beach house. Not to far from the beach and we liked the pool . We had plenty of room for all that came along. We had trouble in our bedroom on the middle floor with the TV. This room had a separate box for audio and we could not get the volume to work unless we used the buttons on the TV. There was a remote for this system and we thought it might need batteries in the remote. Over all it was a great vacation.

This home is awesome! We were secluded, but right across from beach access. And really close to grocery and not far from h20BX. The ice makers and refrigerators were great! Two washers, two dryers, two dishwashers, two ovens!! I wish I could rent this same home again next year, but we have more family coming and dogs too. This house doesnt allow dogs. The cooktop was still cracked, the basement slider door is really stiff and hard to close. Toilet paper holder in basement 1/2 bath fell off of the wall. There is also flooring that is puckered on middle level. Looks like water got underneath. All that said, still one of the best houses and the only one Id consider renting again after vacationing in obx for 18 years. Thank you!

The house comfortably accommodated our family of 14. We enjoyed the amenities and close proximity to the beach. The house affords lots of privacy with well placed shrubs and a good distance from the next property. The bathrooms are beautiful!!! The management staff was prompt in responding to any concerns we had. My only recommendations would be a thorough cleaning of the balcony areas to remove the plentiful dead mosquitoes and new mattresses to replace the stained ones (that we didnt notice until we were stripping the beds at check out). The cracked cook top that was mentioned by another reviewer is still there.

A group of us ladies take half a week every fall at Emerald Isle for a ladies trip where we can unwind and recharge. Thanks to hurricane Flo we thought it wouldn't happen this year. Luckily we were able to book Hotel California. The house was beautiful and accommodated twelve ladies very comfortably. Also, we experienced a slight issue but Village Realty was quick to respond in a professional, hospitable manner. Would recommend both the rental agency and home.

We have absolutely loved every aspect of this vacation!! Perfect for very young & old alike! The house is gorgeous, roomy & well stocked!! The pool was perfect for our family! We enjoyed the hot tub & the theater as well!! Cannot wait to come another year!!

We didn't think we would be able to vacation at the OBX this year because of Hurricane Florence. We were a day late, but had a wonderful week of great sunny weather and warm days. The house needed some attention, especially a new, easier to use (and not broken) cooktop. The double oven is convenient but needs attention, too. This is our second year in this home and we just love it! Right across the street from the beach. I would say the house is quite well used by many families and as such, shows some wear by this time of year. Village Realty is great and attends to requests quickly!

Our group of 9 adults and 3 teenagers enjoyed the house, weather and especially the pool. Room layout worked for us; dinner table seating for all of us was a bit tight. Having 2 clothes washers/dryers was a real benefit and was an upgrade over the property we had rented the past 5 years. The biggest negative was the several WiFi deadspots in the large house; a mesh WiFi network like we have at our house would solve this issue.

This property is a quick drive to Walmart/Food Lion but is quite a hike at 2.2 miles, and is very convenient for a quick jaunt to the beach and surf.

Overall, we have already booked this property for next year's Outer Banks visit.

The house was cozy and perfect for my stay! Everything in the house was functional (with the exception of some issues hooking up an HDMI Cable to the projector). The pool was a perfect temperature all week, and the house was right across the street from the beach which made going from one to the other easy!!

I would absolutely recommend this rental to anyone looking to enjoy the Outer Banks

Loved our stay at Hotel California! Perfect location!!! If you cant get beach front this is seriously the next best thing!! Pool is private, big, with a lot of space around it for your family to hang out! Theatre room was perfect for our family as we always watch a video from the previous yrs vacation....makes for a perfect family movie nite . Plenty of space in all of the rooms! If you have babies the only thing that was a little difficult was that sounds travels from floor to floor so if you have light sleepers and a full house (and youre loud like we are ) that can be a little difficult! Overall we loved this house and we ve been coming to the outer banks for 30 yrs and probably have rented from Village Realty 28 of those years!!

Our family truly enjoyed our first vacation in OBX. Hotel California met all our needs..its a beautiful home designed with a big family in mind. The spacious rooms & panoramic view of the ocean was spectacular. Short walk to the beach was great! I would highly recommend Village Realty..were very pleased with your service...from office & service staff!

Great house!! Beautiful and well kept Felt like home away from home. The home was well anointed and very comfortable with all comforts with great ocean views. Would definitely recommend and we already reserved the same week next year! Anne Cretella

We all had a wonderful week! This is my 3rd time staying in this house. We love everything about the house and location! However I do think it needs some tender loving care especially outside and the landscaping around the pool area. I want to thank the manager for allowing us to hear the pool even though it was past the deadline! We will definitely be back!!

We loved Hotel California!! The house was a short easy walk to the beach, had a well stocked kitchen, and was very clean!!
We would definitely rent this house again!

House was great, awesome having two ice machines, came in handy. Kids loved the movie theatre. Very spacious and great having multiple hang out areas for kids and adults. We loved how close of a walk it was to beach. Beach was very quite and private. I would recommend fixing the main stairs as well as the 3 stairs by the pool area, and some of the trim work by pool area. Overall great experience at the house would recommend to family and friends.

we loved this house and will definitely return! we did think some instructions for the stove would be useful--it took us a while to figure out to hold the red button 3 seconds to unlock the controls! Also, the kitchen really needs a working electric mixer as well as better stocked mixing bowls and measuring supplies and good knives.

The house was amazing. A bathroom for everyone within their bedroom and a large kitchen with plenty of storage. The two ice makers came in very handy and we all loved the theatre room.

We have had a wonderful 2 weeks at Hotel California. The furnishings are beautiful and the weather has been great! We love having the sun all day long at the pool. We'll be back!

Our family loved our vacation. Hotel California was a dream house. We will cherish our memories and look forward to next year's trip!
