Great family vacation
Ruth B. from Philadelphia, PAGreat location, needs repairs
Heidi P. from Canonsburg, PAHouse is located close to so much, great beach front location! We would rent again in 2 years but only if repairs are made. Media room in 2020 is a nice idea but the repairs need to be first priority. Otherwise we enjoyed the house, amenities & location. Here is a list of needed repairs: top floor master bedroom 8 blinds are broke, someone tried to repair by taping plastic knives to the blinds. 1 broken chair in dining room. There are no cords to connect DVD players to TV, so bring your own or dont plan to watch movies. Propane tank is empty. The house next to us had pool/spa cleaning midweek, would be nice due to sand that gets tracked into pool. Pool liner is in sad shape & needs replaced. Bedroom 6 TV doesnt work at all. Need pot holders in kitchen. Picnic table is badly warped. Having a picnic table on ocean front deck would be great to drag charcoal grill out to cook lunch by the beach! Fixtures & drawer slides broken on several dressers. Ladder is missing in deep end of pool. Several boards need fixed on walkway to beach, some nails sticking out. 2 men down on football table. Bedroom 3 bath tub leaks into bedroom 2 through ceiling vent. Water damage stain on bedroom 3 ceiling from previously reported kitchen sink leak. Bedroom 4 sliding glass door lock is broken off. Towel rods broken off several slower doors. I would choose this house again over sandbox I or II next door solely because the beachfront dune deck is awesome. Thankyou for your hospitality!
Great House for a Big Family
Michelle P. from Mechanicsville, VAWe had one of the best vacations ever, and we have been coming to the OBX for many years! We decided to venture down from Corolla and Duck and stay in Kill Devil Hills for a change. Sandbox III was perfect for our five families who stayed there. The layout was excellent for us. With kids' rooms on the lower level with the game room, it was the perfect hang-out space. Adults stayed comfortably on the middle and upper floors in large bedrooms with spacious bathrooms. We all enjoyed the open floor plan of the top floor where we shared meals and played games. There was plenty of seating for our group of 18. The direct, private beach access was important to us. We chose III over I & II, which were similar, because of the dune deck and because there was not a public walkway right next to us. Mid-week during our stay, there was a heat advisory, but the ocean water turned extremely cold. We really appreciated having the nice pool! As others mentioned, we had some trouble with the hot tub. We also noticed several boards on the deck, walkway, and even picnic table that need to be nailed down better or replaced altogether. All-in-all, we had an excellent stay and would happily return to Sandbox III.
Overall Great Place
Brian B from New Market, MDThe house itself is wonderful - Gorgeous living room/dining room and kitchen area. The pictures online do not do it justice. The views from the top level are great with large viewing windows. The master bedrooms were amazing... the bathrooms were HUGE! The other rooms were nice, but obviously nothing compared to those master suits. We had a few minor things - table legs being repaired upon arrival (finalized that day by very nice members of the Village Team) - a drain that was a little backed up (fixed within a few short hours) and the pool was still leaking. Pool man was extremely wonderful - he chatted with us on every occasion we saw him. He was able to band aid the leaky pool which allowed us to stop running the hose!! Awesome!!The only complaint I have is with the wood decking throughout the entire premises, as others have noted. The deck boards are pretty badly worn and need replacing. The picnic table on the top deck was essentially not usable for this reason. Wear your flip flops and just be careful! We had an amazing time and would def. love to come back!Thank you!!
Needs a lot of repairs!!
Kristina C. from Walkersville , MDThis is a very nice house but a lot of updates need to be done before we would rent again. The pool has a slow leak in it and we had to leave the hose in the pool the whole time. A lot of the deck boards need to be replaced. There was a big leak from kitchen sink that prevented us from not being able to use kitchen the last two days of our stay. The leak is now going into the room under the kitchen on the second floor. Village Reality was very quick to respond about leak.
Manager's Response:
Thank you for your kind response. Unfortunately things like this will happen from time to time, it is awful when it happens on your vacation, we do apologize that this took place but we are glad to have been able to respond quickly and address the leak issue for you. Looking forward to seeing you again next year!
Great House, Lots of Space
Mike M. from Harrisburg, PAWe had a great stay here. The house had plenty of space and nice sized bedrooms. The pool area has lots of room around the concrete deck for kids to play and have chairs set up. The hot tub had issues most of the time we were there and the hot tub deck needs some work. Village staff was great about being helpful with the hot tub issues but evidently the owners of this house have contracted with a separate pool maintenance company. They were ok but didn't provide the level of service I have come to expect from Village. The beach access was great and parking area has lots of room for cars. The house has an A/C unit and thermostat for each floor. That sounds minor but, having stayed in homes in the past that have one system serving 2 floors, this was a nice feature. We have stayed in 9 different houses (for various reasons including a growing family) over the years with Village Realty. We enjoyed them all but this is the first that our family has said we would likely stay here again.
April 2019 Stay
Lisa B. from HainesportOverall the house was great for us. Lots of space, great lay out, well stocked kitchen. My only feedback is the pool definitely seemed to have a slow leak of some sort. We had the hose running in the pool the entire week and it still was very low each day. Also the heater for the hot tub and pool kept blowing a fuse. Often the pool and hot tub were not heating. Lastly several of the sink and or shower controls were loose and or dripping. Specifically the kitchen sink and the downstairs bathroom shower on the 1st floor.

We had a very nice time on our vacation. The house was adequate size for our family of 12. The young ones loved the pool and game room. I enjoyed the fact that the house was situated near the beach and had its own private walkway. There were a couple of minor problems with when we go there, but nothing that wasn't corrected in a timely manner. My only 2 complaints is we would liked to have instructions on how to use the sound systems, and the batteries were missing in some of the remotes, we just purchased some ourselves. I liked the house but it does need a bit of updating, with the decks, pool, stairs and gates. Overall I would happily stay again and appreciate Village Realty's service. Thank you.
