M848: Good To Be Back

Village Realty was so helpful when another website incorrectly let us book one of their properties. They helped us find another short-term rental that would accommodate my family for the same dates. Their customer service is wonderful, very quick to respond when we couldn’t figure out the lock! We will definitely use them again when we go to OBX.

Property was in great shape. Very clean and perfect for our short stay. The location was ideal close to shopping and beach.

Great house! Our only suggestion is to get better mattresses. Not much support and every time you sit down or get up (or even roll over in the middle of the night) they are very loud. Aside from that, we had no issues. The house was clean, the kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed for cooking. Would definitely stay here again if we knew they added better quality beds!

Newer home with great furnishings. The pool is nice and clean and I love that there are multiple umbrellas for added shade (even on the balcony). The trees around the house give you a sense of privacy that isn't always common at beach houses. The kitchen is very well-appointed. We've stayed in countless homes at the outer banks and this one had the best assortment of utensils, bowls, bakeware, etc. While the pool door alarm is annoying, I get why others with young or special needs kids would want this and it's easy enough to overlook knowing it could save a child's life.Two issues I feel must be addressed. Both are a quick fix... First, for the love, PLEASE put curtains or shades up in the upstairs common areas. Unless it was raining or overcast (only one of our evenings there), dinner was blinding (same for the TV area). Seriously, two long curtain rods that go about 6-8" past the door frames, allowing the curtains to be gathered on the sides and not block the view, but giving your guests the ability to pull them closed in order to enjoy their meal or watch a bit of TV after dinner with friends and family would be huge. It only affected us for about 1.5 hours each night, but this was prime family hang-out time that was made uncomfortable for guests seated facing the sliders. The second thing I need to mention is that the kitchen pictures need to be updated. It was frustrating that the house did not have the Kuerig machine AS SHOWN in the pictures above. We could have easily brought our own but didn't because of what was shown. These pictures should be a representation of what you get. VERY misleading. We came prepared for one and ended up having to make an extra trip to the grocery store to buy coffee and filters when we discovered it was missing.

Great House! We have already booked again for next year. Small request would be to have the ability to turn the door alarm off for those without small kids.

Second year staying in the OBX. First time in this home. Its stunning and very clean. No complaints and it fit our family perfectly. Just one note, I wish it had food storage containers to keep leftovers. Thats just me being picky. Overall the home was fantastic. Our kids loved the pool and we loved the hot tub. Quiet neighborhood. Perfect home!! Thank you

really enjoyed our first trip to OBX. house was great. village realty very responsive. pool was clutch. kitchen was really well stocked with cooking gear/serving bowls/etc. close to beach and grocery store, can bike to the beach easily or drive to a parking lot in 5 minutes. quiet neighborhood and nice privacy. would stay again!

Very nice ,new home. We enjoyed our stay and are thinking of rebooking this home again. We have stayed with Village Realty for years and my husband said this was his favorite house so far. Nicely decorated in each room. The house has 2 soaking bathtubs and the walls of the tubs are really high which might make bathing small kids hard. Otherwise there is a large glass shower which worked fine for us . The downstairs sliding door going out to the pool has a child alarm which is ear piercing. Wish there was some way to disable it if it wasnt needed. I would just suggest some drapes/blinds in the living room upstairs to help cut down the heat and glare of the late afternoon sun. Overall a nice vacation.
