JR12: Carolina Dream

Location, location, location! This house was very nice and the view was excellent. As annual visitors to the Outer banks, the kitchens and the associated appliances were excellent - the best we have seen. The bedrooms were average and the beds were comfortable (but the pillows were not). Our only negative about this location was the pool area. It was small, and unfortunately the under deck area was separated by railing that gave it a closed off feel and made it difficult for us to all be together. Additionally the chairs around the pool were very poor almost to the point of being dangerous. They are a very flimsy molded plastic that always felt like they were going to break when you sat in them. The upper deck and second floor deck area offered wonderful views of the ocean and the furniture was very nice. All in all, this was a great location. It was very comfortable and our large family had plenty of room.

This was by far the best place we have stayed yet in the 15+ years weve been coming to Nags Head. We were impressed with how well the owners have kept up the house. We are a large group, and the accommodations were perfect. The house was available and very clean when we arrived. We loved the music at the pool, kiddie pool, 2 washers& dryers, 2 dishwashers etc! We have it booked already for next year

House was beautiful ,clean and ready early for our arrival. A few minor problems were handled quickly and efficiently. Short distance to beach which made carrying equipment easy. Amenities were as described in website. Easy distance to restaurants and shopping. Would rent this beach house again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Carolina Dream. The views were incredible, and we loved having our own access to the beach! There was room for everyone (13 of us), and the elevator and accessible bathroom were perfect for my husband's grandmother. The Village Realty staff was very responsive and friendly. I would rent again for sure!

The location of the cottage is excellent and view of the ocean is superb. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, etc... Office staff was friendly. Unfortunately, the hot tub stopped heating two times during our stay, the fireplace never worked and the pool was closed / heating turned off the weekend we arrived. Maintenance fixed the hot tub the first time we called, however when we went to enjoy it the evening before leaving, the water was cold again. We had been assured two times that we would be called by the fireplace vendor for repair, however this never happened. Not being able to enjoy the three main amenities of the home proved very disappointing. Items noted but not reported while at the home were numerous bulbs burnt out in bathrooms, a slow draining sink, broken chair on upper deck, dead batteries in remote controls, fans in living room in need of cleaning as do the fronts of kitchen cabinets. The cover for the hot tub is VERY difficult to remove and drops pieces of styrofoam in the water.

Great house, Great weather, Great friends!! We look forward all year to our beach trip, we always book the same house. It's perfect for our group. Village Realty is a class act and top notch!

Wonderful house!! LOVED the extra seating area in the main living room, allowed everyone to hang out together on the same floor. Also loved the mid level den for the gamers in the family!!! Only complaints....There were no small to medium pots in the house and there were TONS of flies. We will be back next year!!!

We loved the house and thought the design was really great with the upside down set up. The upper deck was totally comfortable as was the midlevel deck off the bedrooms.

We didn't like having to roll the garbage cans to the street, the one-ply scratchy toilet paper, no plastic wrap or foil in the house (we had to buy it).

All in all, the house was extremely comfortable and was conveniently located. Everything worked except the ice maker in the refrigerator but that was no problem as the house had a stand alone icemaker at the bar area.

Our grand kids thought it was the best house we had stayed in! They loved the house!

We love Carolina Dream we have stayed here twice, it suits our family we have 5 children 1 of which is in a wheelchair. The only problems we had are we found medicines in and under the couch and birds in the vent hood fan. We hope to stay at Carolina Dream again soon

This is the fourth year we've stayed at this home and we'll be back again next year! We love everything about it - the location, the gathering space and the private baths in most of the rooms. The kitchen is well stocked. The heated pool is a favorite as is the hot tub. The home is the perfect place to get away and feel a bit pampered!

Even Jose couldn't take away the joy of the being at the beach!

Our very large family enjoyed a great week here with plenty of space to eat, sleep, hang out and even find some quiet time! The decks were awesome as was the pool area where we spent a lot of our time. The kitchen and bar area were well stocked with every cooking utensil imaginable making it very convenient to feed our large group. Kitchen storage was adequate as well. Only two minor suggestions......more than one broom is needed to keep all the floors swept and more kitchen towels were needed. We never did get the house speakers to play which was a disappointment as it would have been nice to have music at the pool. Overall a great house, we'll definitely look to be back!

Nice house. It was very clean except one pillow case had a blood stain on it. Great items in kitchen except frying pans. They need replacing. Great view of ocean. Nice area for parking. Really enjoyed our stay. Will return and hopefully stay at this house again. Love Village Realty. Nice folks very easy reservation, check in, and check out.

Overall we loved the house. It was a great location & plenty of room for people to congregate. We loved the pool table, pool & hot tub. We would definitely rent this house again. Except for the high winds & Hurricane weather, it was a great week. We loved the large very well equipped kitchen.
There were just a few issues with the house. In the top floor bedroom the bedspread & one blanket were both stained & dirty looking. We didn't use either one. The mattress could stand to be replaced soon. Some of the showers in the middle floor baths didn't drain very well at all. On the top floor there are some electrical issues that need to be looked at for safety reasons. The 2 ceiling lights closest to the fireplace quit working the 2nd day. The big light over the table in the kitchen alcove would dim on its own. There are some switches that didn't seem to work anything. An electrician should check it out.
Otherwise it was a great week & we will be back to the OBX again some day.
