SN25: Pixie's Place

Wonderful ocean front property! SPACIOUS bedrooms, short walk to the large beach, and we really enjoyed being able to watch dolphins from the top deck. Additionally, both the owner and Village were very communicative when they needed to enter the property for a maintenance repair.

the house itself was beautiful, had a nice view from the top floor. the bedrooms were nice and spacious. this would not be the house for anyone that had trouble with steps/dunes as there are several at the property. our biggest complaint was how there was no walkway over the dunes to get to the beach making it difficult to get over them with kids and all the beach toys/items. but overall we had a great stay.

Two things needed at the house. Better directions for trash pickup schedule. A printed guide showing what tv Chanels are available.

The house was nice. You can't see the ocean from the balcony because there is a high dune there but it's just a short walk over the dune to the beach. Tiles floors make it easy for clean up with pets. Beds were comfortable and this is the first beach house I've stayed in that had good water pressure in the showers. Hot tub was nice but below the house. Kitchen could use more appliances and the dishwasher wasn't the best. Also we thought the hot water heater may have had a leak. Bedrooms were decent sizes. Nice they provide bed sheets and bath towels. Lots of open space in the living room kitchen area. Perfect for spontaneous dance parties.

We had a very enjoyable time at Pixie's Place (SN25). The location is ideal, and the views are beautiful. The house is nice, but could use a bit of an update. Village Reality was quick to replace burned out lights within minutes of being contacted. The only disappointment was the "grill". It is actually just a very small camp sized charcoal grill (charcoal not provided). We had to rent a gas grill for the week.

A most enjoyable stay. The property sits in a very nice area, a full three miles away from the commercialism of Nags Head, but yet close enough to enjoy the amenities of Nags Head. It is a waterfront property with an easy walk to the beach and a beautiful sandy beach to enjoy. Our grandkids and granddogs loved it. The sleeping arrangement was great as the kids, their parents and the dogs could sleep on one level and my wife and I could sleep on the upper level. We had everything we needed as far as kitchen and living room amenities, and the washer-dryer was important when you have 3 & 4 year olds living there for a week. I would have given it 5 stars but the house is beginning to show its age. It could use a little TLC. But this did not hamper our stay at all. My daughter-in-law, who can be very critical, thought it was a very nice place to stay, and I got the credit for finding it. The hot tub was also enjoyed by all. If this was a summer rental, though, we would not have chosen this house because it does not have a pool. Checking in and out was easy, and we never had to call for servicing. I highly recommend this rental during the months when a swimming pool is not desirable.

It was very nice and great for the dogs. Having an overhead light explode was scary.

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.

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.
