SN25: Pixie's Place

We had an amazing stay. The house was very comfortable and the view from the upstairs deck was beautiful.
The location is wonderful and within walking distance of the Nags Head Pier. The short walk across the dune to the beach was very convenient.
We enjoyed every minute we were there. The only short fall was the front porch light was burned out.
The Village Realty Team was great to work with and helpful from start to finish. Thank you.

We've been staying in the same house for the past six years. We love living in this house by the sea for a week. Ordinarily a night person, I struggle to get up a half hour before sunrise every morning in order to bear witness to the magnificent vista shown in this picture. We have never had a bad experience with Village Realty (even had to reschedule one year and they were wonderfully helpful), and we are grateful for making it possible you enjoy the beauty, peacefulness and good food the OBX is known for. We love this house for the location, the proximity to what feels like our own private beach, and for the ease in the renting, check-in and checkout process. The few times we've had an issue with the house or left something behind, our concerns were attended to promptly and completely. I would and do highly recommend your company. Thanks for your help in making our vacation enjoyable year after year. I also enjoy following your posts on Facebook..makes me feel like I'm checking in on my favorite place. You'

We had a great time, beautiful weather and the house was a good size for our extended family. For those with children, the house has a high chair, tons of board games and puzzles. Cons: the fridge never fully cooled down, despite being on the highest setting. One of our cars got stuck in the sand only driveway. You have to go through one of the bedrooms to access the back deck/beach, unless you want to go out the front door. The grill is one of those small charcoal kind you'd find at the park and we were never able to get the hot tub to warm up.

Great family vacation! Could not have ordered up better weather!
OBX is a family tradition but our first time using Village Realty. Nice option to check in earlier but felt it was a little pricey. Nice to have beds made but bath towels were not as nice as expected.
Kitchen was well equipped but could have used more coffee mugs and definitely a better broom. One on both floors would be nice. A nicer sofa area in the living room for to enjoy movie would be nice.
Upper deck was great for watching the sun rise and the ocean. Would have been nice to have high chairs with side tables.
Overall, another great family vacation!!

location of this house is great. very roomy for our party of 12. beach access is awesome. Nice hot tub. Kitchen was well equipped, pots, pans, blender, toaster, a little out dated coffee maker. The grill is a little free standing, park like grill. Ok if you know ahead of time to bring charcoal also pretty small for a large group of people. decent washer and dryer. Had ants in the kitchen upon arrival, but notified rental office and they came to respray, did not have issues after that. air conditioner up stairs was not working when we arrived, but was taken care of the next day. overall, great family vacation.

This was our families first trip to OBX. House was roomy enough for 12 of us. The house is right on the sand and convenient to spend the day at the beach. Very close to restaurants and shopping. Watched surfers and dolphins from the upper deck. Chased ghost crabs on the beach at night.
Down side, grill is charcoal only and not large enough to grill food for 12, similar to a park grill, would have preferred gas grill for ease of preparation of meals.
Reported upon arrival 4am Monday that AC was not working in upstairs, they sent out maintenance to confirm and then HVAC to repair. This did take till 6pm to fix, temp was 86 inside upper level, but it did get fixed.
Also home had ants in the kitchen, traps had been set, office had someone come and spray and we had no further issue during the week.
Home also is pet friendly and there were obvious signs that a large animal with black hair had been there, office notified and did offer to have cleaners come out, it was easier to simply sweep it up myself.
Overal

Pros: Location, location, location! Short walk over sand dune to beach and short drive to restaurants/grocery. Outdoor shower was helpful. Services responded quickly to our request when fridge wasnt working and offered ice for coolers to keep our food cold until fridge cooled down completely. Keyless entry made easy check-in/out. Air conditioner, dish washer, laundry washer/dryer all worked well. Views of beach from upper level were great.
Cons: Refrigerator did not work well upon our arrival. Ants in the kitchen. Kitchen amenities were lacking and not very clean. Keyless entry beeped loudly upon every entry which was hard on dogs/kids. Check-in at 4pm and check-out at 10am.

All in all place was clean. check in should be a little bit earlier than 4 .if the check out is 10 in morning then check in should be ealier we lose a day cause of the late check in and earlier checkout.
