Marilyn from Front Royal, VAReservation #724220 Fearing Cottage 7/15/23-7/22/23 - This was an awesome house for the large number of people we had. The pictures on the website don't really do the house justice as far as the space that is available. We contacted VR regarding fixing a deck safety latch to the pool gate due to the number of children we had, and they arrived within the hour to make the repair. A towel rack needs to be added to the basement bathroom. Despite comments on the website about the wifi being bad, we had minimal issues with the wifi. The covered decks were great, the high deck chairs were wonderful for morning coffee overlooking the beach. The pool, pool deck area and pool chairs were so nice to have, as well as the picnic tables. The basement bar with icemaker was SO helpful; as was the separate bar area and mini fridge on the top floor. The 2 ovens and 2 dishwashers were a lifesaver. The A/C and plumbing worked fine, the artwork, decorations, and furniture in the house was great. Overall, we loved the house. We have always rented from VR for our large family vacations, and we appreciate the service you provide!

Mary from Dingmans Ferry`, PAWe loved staying at this house. We had 14 adults and few children stay comfortably. The pool and hot tub are priceless. Having the beach a walk away is so convenient. And there are so many activities available in the area. We plan to return.

Douglas from Glen Ellyn, ILThis was a delightful and spacious house. Everything was clean and set up when we arrived. The views of the ocean were wonderful. The kitchen was more than adequate for our large family group. We loved our week here and left with so many wonderful memories. We've posted a review on VRBO as well.

Karen from Colchester, CTWe always use Village Realty when we stay at Nags Head, this year the house was a lot cleaner than the previous years. We liked the house we stayed in SN22 (Fearing Cottage) it had plenty of space for all, we loved the pool and the fact that it was on the ocean (the 2 things we always look for). A couple of issues; beds only had a bottom sheets and we had no sheet sets other than twin. This issue was resolved the next day with a phone call so that helped. The other issue was the mattresses, especially in the bunk rooms. We would definitely stay here again if needed.

KimHad a good experience at Fearing Cottage. Lots of dishes, utensils, pots, and pans to use. Only wish we had a binder which included all the important things such as directions on how to use the tv’s and Bluetooth systems. Also the trash directions were a little confusing. Overall a great location and a wonderful time was had by all!!

Kim from Parksley, VAFearing Cottage was wonderful. Plenty of utensils and cooking essentials. Wish there had been a notebook of important things such as when the trash was to go out and how to work remotes. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

ChristyThis was a very nice house with plenty of room and parking for my large family. We loved the private walkway to the beach.You will be disappointed if you are relying on the elevator to navigate floors. It only enters the main part of the house on the top floor. The ground level is in the garage and the middle level in a closed in area off the porch.The beds were awful. There was not any support, possibly due to them not having box springs.

KennethBeen renting vacation homes in OBX for over 23 years. Village Reality is the most honest, transparent, and hassle-free option out there.

Kenneth from Martinsburg, WVWe had a great time, most everyone stated the beds were very uncomfortable it made sleeping very hard. Also the wifi, though it had amazing coverage, was very very slow, making a lot of things very annoying and time consuming to complete. Our stay was great, just a few things that really should be looked into
May 2023 Stay
Kenneth from Martinsburg, WVWe had an amazing week here.Only 2 things that made the stay less than ideal. Almost everyone here including myself found the beds very bad for sleeping.The other thing is the WiFi is horrible. With average speeds of 12 down, and crazy packet loss. It was near impossible to get anything online done. On a positive note the wifi coverage in the house was impressive there were no dead spots in the whole house!Village Reality is without doubt the choice to make for stress free rental. We have vacationed in OBX every year for over 20 years. Village Realty is far and above the best company to work with.

Yee from Charlotte, NCThe main 3 things that we didn't like are the pool was really dirty, grill was old and rusty, and the pool table was old and pockets keep falling off. Oh and 1 more thing, why there is a room separated from everyone? No one in my family wants to sleep out there. Other than that everything else is good.

Deanna from Falls Church, VAThe house is perfect for a large family. Loved the three sinks, Two dishwashers and two cooktops/ovens. Nice pool area, nice hot tub. It could have been cleaner. We found toys, cheerios and other gross stuff in the couch cushions. Lots of dust and grime in areas behind and under. The house has an elevator that didn't work when we got there and wasn't fixed till Thursday which was VERY inconvenient. Village realty handled our problems politely. We will rent again from them.
Manager's Response:
Thank you for your Survey and appreciate the honest feedback. This has been shared with our teams so that we can continue to work on improving our services. We are so happy you all enjoyed your time here.
Love this house!
Clifton B. from Vienna, VA1st time renter and we were very pleased with the house. Kitchen nicely appointed and loved the two sinks and dishwashers opposite each other. Two cook tops / ovens very nice as well. Nicely appointed game room and we enjoyed playing ping pong in the garage, but maybe move to carport? Pool was one of the most spacious we encountered. Hot tub great. Agree with the other comments to add more tall chairs on upper deck for beach views. They were very nice. One of the hanging chairs failed on us while someone was sitting in it. Recommend upgrading the hardware to ensure this doesnt happen to another guest. Village Realty was VERY responsive to all of our needs and requests.
Good house, but needs some help
Karen B. from Germantown, MDThe house was good. It was great having the upstairs balcony covered. We loved the oversized Adirondack chairs, we would have loved more. The rooms were comfortable and bathrooms adequate. The kitchen was very usable. We had some difficult issues. Most important there is only one small side-by-side refrigerator upstairs. We would not rent this house again because of this issue. There is a refrigerator downstairs, but it was two flight down. When we got there neither the water or ice was working. They were able to fix it quickly. Also, the downstairs TV was not working. The upstairs TV is very small. They could not get it to work. It was okay for us because we did not have small children with us this year. It would have been a very difficult problem if we did. The upstairs table was small. With 9 bedrooms it is important to have a large table for more people to eat together.
Five star
Ricker from Cuyahoga falls, OhioGreat house, very roomy, well laid out! Easy beach access. E brought baby gates for the stairs -we have little ones. Just great facility! Felt like home! We have went to Myrtle Beach for 25 years: but will be back here next year! Thank you for your hospitality!
Great Vacation Home for Large Group
Missy from Downingtown, PAOur family has been renting this home for 20 years and we love it. It has a terrific layout for a large group of people. The great room is very big and accommodates many people doing different activities at once. Plenty of parking for many cars. Love the pool . The new stairs to the beach are very helpful - Mother nature has had her way with the beach walkways over the years so we appreciated having one this year. We appreciated that you added an additional washer/dryer and loved the new higher deck chairs so you can better see the ocean from the top deck. We did have some trouble with spotty and weak wi-fi. Would highly recommend this home.
Wonderful Family Vacation Home
Kristin from Stow, OhioThis home was a perfect vacation rental for our large family. We filled every bedroom but there was plenty of space so we didnt feel crowded. The game room was definitely a bonus for the older kids. The only downsides were the spotty internet service, no one could figure out how to work the tvs, and the big hill down to the beach from the steps. And even this mild complaints were not a huge deal. Tv and internet while nice were not necessary. It was hard for some of our older family to get back up from the beach so they just didnt go down as much unfortunately. But still, everyone had an amazing week and said would totally go back!
September-October 2018 Stay
Sharon F. from CulpeperWe had a great stay! The Fearing was just as the description advised and pictures indicated. It was clean, well equipped, good parking and the outside areas were wonderful. If not already addressed, all overhead lights in the garage need to be replaced in order to have lighted access to the elevator on the ground floor. My favorite spot was the covered porch on the top floor beachside. Thank you!
September 2018 Stay
Debbie W. from Galax, VirginiaWe had a wonderful trip. We enjoyed this cottage a lot. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. Both of the decks were great. Our only problem was beach access. The steps to the beach had been covered in sand and unusable. Ample parking and great layout for large groups.
Manager's Response:
Thank you for your survey Debbie! We are so happy you all enjoyed "Fearing Cottage" it is truly a unique home. We are excited to let everyone know that the owners will be working this off season to build a new walkway out to the beach! We expect it to be ready for the 2019 season.
May 2018 Stay
Loretta D. from EwanThe home is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. Maybe being the first guest of the season has disadvantages. no access to beach, sand dune covered access. Small issues like towel and toilet paper hold fell off. Kitchen is stocked with beautiful equipment. good idea to remind guests to bring toilet paper.
September 2016 Stay
Marlene D. from Bristow, VAOverall I liked the cottage, especially the open great room. It was great having all the seating for our meals too. The views of the ocean were wonderful and you have a really nice pool, though it would be nice to have handlebars on the steps. The appliances need updating as not all the burners worked on the stoves, there was an issue with the ice maker on the refrigerator and the dryer took a long time to dry. The bedroom I was in on the second floor with the queen bed had a tv that was very old and it didn't work as stated on the message taped to it. I had looked forward to using it.
August 2015 Stay
Nikole F. from King GeorgeWe loved the Fearing Cottage! It was so much more spacious than we expected based on pictures and with 13 adults and 8 kids under 5 we needed the room! Everyone had enough room and privacy and it was a wonderful home for kids (particularly the connecting master/bunk rooms). A few minor suggestions. ... please replace the toasters- they barely work at all, spray for bugs- we found several water bugs in the house and several mounds of ants on the pool deck, uncover the stairs to the beach- obvious they were there bit covered by sand like from replinishment activities, provide TV/electronic instructions on main living room equipment- there are about 5 pieces to turn on and set up and it took us 2 days to figure out how to turn on DVD player, some Tupperware containers in kitchen would be great for storing leftovers- none to be found anywhere, check bathrooms for mold growing around shower stalls under and in seems of wallpapers- pretty bad in left master/bunk shared bathroom. There were so many great featu
Manager's Response:
Thank you for your comments. Here on The Outer Banks bugs are a common occurrence, but to help combat this the home is on an annual preventive pest control plan. Please feel free to call us in the future should you have any unexpected issues. As we will do our best to remedy.
Thank You,
Village Realty

David L. from MechanicsburgFirst time renting from VR and service was excellent. Home could use an assortment of drinking glasses and we had to call for a second coffee pot. Should spray for bugs. VR should have a thorough checklist ( in my opinion) of entire home prior to new guests arriving. Overall experience was very good and we would come back. The eclectic furniture pieces throughout the house are a nice touch. VR poeople are GREAT!

Our extended family stayed here for a week. There are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils; there are two ovens and two dishwashers to handle a large group. The house was clean when we arrived, with all the beds made and plenty of towels. Beautiful views from the porches, and a delightful swimming pool / hot tub. We loved it!!
