NH06: Ocean's Edge

We came in from the UK, PA, SD and Va! We had an amazing time! Oceans Edge was fantastic - easy access to anything and everything we wanted to do! We will be back!

The house met all of our needs, some updated USB plugs or clocks with usb ports would be nice. The driveway is tricky for motorcycles but doable. The hot tub and pool are wonderful but make sure you put all your food away at night and clean up the counters. We noticed a couple of unwanted bug visitors but it was isolated to the kitchen area. Overall great place to stay and wouldn’t stop us from coming back again.

We really liked the location, but the driveway is not very motorcycle friendly. The house could use a bit of updating). The bedroom on the third floor has a very squeaky frame. The hot tub and pool are very nice.

This was our first year getting an Oceanfront house. I don’t think we’ll ever go back to anything else. I was surprised how much space this house actually had. We booked late so our options for housing were limited with our requirements but this house ended up working out great for us. I never once felt crammed, beach access was right there, the house was clean and the ice machine was clutch for coolers. Cons to the house include that people across the street were using our driveway as a public access to the beach and walking right by our obviously parked cars and near the windows to the side of the house and were able to see us over the gate to the pool while swimming. A no public access could fix this for sure. Other cons: our laundry had some questionable dark stains, though, playing devils advocate, they could’ve just not come out with the laundry wash which I’m praying was the case. Some of the rooms didn’t have lightbulbs in the ceiling lights so I bought lightbulbs, one of the king suites showers were clogged so I purchased draino to unclog it, and before you ask, we called maintenance on Sunday and no one ever showed up to replace the lightbulb near the hot tub so it was dark at night outside which no big deal but these were things I think I shouldn’t be responsible for. The king suite did not have a plastic shower curtain, just a fabric one. The pool chairs seriously need replaced. They are unusable, we came to the house and they were broken, we attempted to glue them and it was unsuccessful. Housekeeping didn’t place any sheets or pillow covers on the downstairs beds, so I had to rush around and do it before the people staying in those rooms got there. There’s only one large fridge which makes food space difficult so bring coolers, there is a mini fridge which we used for alcohol storage. The only other thing is I found 4 roaches in the house. Now, I did read other reviews of this being a problem on other oceanfront homes so it may just come with the territory but I imagine a exterminator could help with this. I’m aware this comment seems negative, but when I’m searching for reviews on vacation homes, I like brutal honesty and it’s up to you to research and figure out what you can and cannot deal with. All in all, my family was happy and we had a great vacation. You can’t beat the view of the ocean in backyard. The house just needs some updates and a little better housekeeping but was worth it in my opinion. Hope this helps others.

This was our 9th year here at the house, it is so convenient to everything, love being able to just walk out to the beach. Our family plans on going back next year

We have rented two or three of these houses for our triennial family reunion since the late 1990s and they fit our needs perfectly. They are reasonably priced and have the necessary amenities. Being on the beachfront is perfect and the beach nourishment project removed the pipes the first night we were here and so we had total access to the beach. We rent chairs, gas grills, surf boards, and paddle boards from Ocean Atlantic and they show up as expected. The kitchen is well equipped except it really really needs pot holders!

This was the third year we have rented this house and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Good location and large enough to accommodate our three families (11 including kids). The kitchen is very well equipped - we have speculated that the owner must have been in the restaurant business given the quality of the cookware. We haven't had any maintenance issues upon arrival and really have no complaints. That said, the property is showing its age - the furniture is stained and the appliances are only adequate. There is just one full sized refrigerator and the dishwasher takes several hours to complete a cycle. Also, the pool could use some maintenance/repairs. Unfortunately we now need an elevator in the family and so we won't be returning to this unit, but absent that requirement, we would.

The location is fantastic and the house is HUGE! Loved having private beach access and lots of bathrooms for the family. The pool and hot tub were also amazing. The only issue was the cleanliness of the house when we arrived. The whole house was musty and the the bathrooms/kitchen/living area needed a cleaning by our family before we felt comfortable using them. The furniture and bedding also could use an upgrade/deep clean. We also called out a maintenance person (super friendly!!) to come replace the HVAC filter, as it was super dirty and might have contributed to the air in the house not feeling so fresh the first few days. Well be back, just with some cleaning supplies at the ready : )

Great week stay after Hurricane Florence ,no damage. the house is clean plenty of room for everyone short walk to the waters edge, and the view was gorgeous. definitely would stay here again!!

House is great with good location. House is very well maintained and everything inside is in perfect working order. We were just a little disappointed that the hot tub was moved off the balcony and outdoor shower is gone.

We enjoyed the location but the house was musty and nothing would dry inside the house. We did have a lot of rain so that could have contributed to it but we kept the doors and windows closed so not sure. Also we had 17 people which was fine for the amount of bedrooms but not enough seating area for socializing. Ended up rearranging the furniture to make more room and seating area. Had lots of kitchen pots, pans and dishes. Also could use a better area for cleaning feet. Sand just accumulated around the feet washing area and it was then tracked Into the pool and first floor.

Absolutely one of the best houses in the OBX!
Fast service fixing any issues, house is clean and awesome peat Village Realty!
Thank you!

Third year renting this unit. It works perfectly for us. When we have any problem they are right there to fix it. Plenty of parking and always clean and kitchen is always well supplied. Beds made up and ready for us. Hope to be there again next year.

Love this area everything is very close and easy with kids!

This is the 3rd time in 6 years that my group of friends has taken an OBX vacation. This is by far the best house we've had. The size of the house was perfect. Location is great as everything is nearby (shops, restaurants etc). First time we've ever had a beachfront house and from now on we wouldn't have it any other way. Awesome customer service as all of our issues were looked at the very next day. Thank you for letting us stay in this gorgeous house.

We have stayed here four years at this point and plan to come again, love the house, it fits us nicely, the new colors are very fresh looking and when we had any problems they were taken care of immediately. Thank you Village Realty
