NHB2: Sunswept

This property was perfect for our extended family of fourteen (8 adults, 6 children). The kitchen was well-appointed (I had brought pots, pans, and cooking utensils not knowing what would be available but we did not need to use them) and the two refrigerator/freezers easily handled all the food we needed. We were able to prepare all our meals in the home which provided healthier and cheaper options than fast food. The beach is just steps from the house and we used the pool every day. Child-proof locks between the house and the pool area and also between the pool and the beach provided a huge safety feature for our grandchildren aged 6 months to 7 years. Village Realty was very responsive with the one small maintenance issue we encountered and the problem was fixed the same day. We could not have been happier with our experience in Outer Banks.

I must say we had a great time on our vacation this week. The weather couldn't have been better. The accommodations at "Sunswept" were perfect for all 9 of us. The few little discrepancies we experienced were handled quickly by the staff at Village Realty compl with follow up phone calls to make sure everything was taken care of and to keep updated and informed.

The Pros:
The kitchen is well stocked with needed items. Has very large pantry. Good Location. Oceanfront with a pool.

Cons:
Only 3 of the 7 bedrooms had TV's. with multiple families it makes it harder to select bedrooms. Yes I know you are on vacation and spending time on the beach, but at night when everyone retreats to their own space it is nice to be able to relax and watch television. The walk way to the beach is one of the reasons I chose this house, unfortunately half of the walkway to the beach is totally covered in sand so my elderly parents could not manage the walk to the beach and back.

Overall this was a nice home centrally located.

When we arrived at the home, everything was clean and tidy. The two concerns I had were handled almost instantly through the app and fix it forms. The gentleman on Sunday evening that fixed the outdoor shower was very kind and courteous. We did not see the pool man on Monday as we were all gone, but the pool was filtering properly and was sparkling clean when we arrived back. Village realty was on top of my concerns. We have loved the location of this home. There is plenty of parking for our 6 vehicles. There were plenty of outdoor chairs and tables. Thank you village realty team for helping me choose this location and for your wonderful tentiviveness to all my concerns throughout the year and during our stay

We stayed with 4 families and had plenty of room. Steps to ocean, pool was large enough, decks were great, although some of the decking was rough and needs repair. Hot tub was great! Patio furniture was broken and only a few chairs useable. Inside of house was very comfy, kitchen a bit small but we spent majority of time outside when it wasn't raining, not in the kitchen! All in all a great place!

NHB2 was a great house for us. We came with 3 Families, 14 people in total. There was plenty of space for all of us (inside and out). The house was clean and exactly as described. It was right on the beach and the deck overlooked the ocean. We even saw dolphins which was an unexpected surprise! Village realty was extremely responsive with any issues we had.
Thank you for a great vacation. We could definitely stay here again!

Pros: Great location on the beach! Plenty of parking. Only a few minutes from Food Lion. Multiple fridges to store all our bacon, beer, and wine (gotta have priorities)! Heated pool came in handy when strong currents post-Hurricane Hermine rendered the ocean off limits for a few days. Kitchen was well stocked with multiple blenders, toasters, and LARGE mixing bowls, pots, and pans. Crucial large pantry. Bunk bed is actually a larger double instead of pyramid. Plenty of curbside trash bins

Cons: Kitchen was a bit cramped - no one could enter/leave when the fridge was open. No sink disposal. Freestanding icemaker on top floor was broken - had to grab ice from icemaker on bottom floor. All deck access doors facing the ocean were hard to open - might've been due to Hurricane Hermine blasting the house with salt water and sand. Only one curbside recycling bin

Overall: Despite the minor inconveniences, our group had a fab time. We love to cook, however, so we'll rent a house w/ a larger kitchen next year
