The house was beautiful and clean and had everything we could need. It was easy to get to and in the perfect location with shops and attractions within a quick drive, and the beach just a 1-2 minute walk away. Instructions to access the home and for checkout were clear and easy to follow. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had a great time!

House was nice. Older home but clean and private. Only draw back is that it backs up to a busy highway

Fantastic property. Kitchen was very well stocked, had everything you could need. Location was great, so convenient and easy walk to the beach. House was lovely. The beds were hard but that’s the only negative. Would certainly return!!

House was perfect for a few families to gather for a week! We enjoyed the hot tub during the cooler spring break weather, and the beach was a quick walk across the street. Nicely appointed house with comfortable beds, amenities and fully equipped kitchen. The decks on multiple levels were great to sit on, enjoy the sun and watch the ocean waves. Would definitely book again! Village Realty was excellent to work with!

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Village Realty is happy to hear that you have enjoyed your stay. We strive to provide an amazing vacation experience, that you and your family will look back onto for years to come. Off season is a wonderful time of the year to explore the outer banks. The shops, beaches and restaurants are certainly slower paced, and you the guest are able to enjoy the sights at leisure. We will be happy to help you with your next vacation booking and look forward to seeing you again. Safe travels! MH

It was our first time visiting the Outer Banks, everything was exactly as described by Villages. The location was great and a short walk to the beach. It fit our family’s needs and exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend and would revisit the same house and location in the future.

We had an amazing time at a truly beautiful home! Simple checkin with a code, house was pretty clean and in a good location. A few minor hiccups (missing Roku for non-smart tv, a few dead bugs, missing beach chairs and beach cart) all minor and not the home owner/realty company’s fault. Realty company responded fast and mostly solved the issues. A great experience would absolutely recommend!

Great house with a wonderful location. Close to restaurants and stores and an easy, 3-minute walk to the beach. The house was clean, roomy and filled with amenities.

We really enjoyed our visit to Carolina Dreaming . The house was clean and well furnished, especially the kitchen. The location was very convenient to the beach, shopping, restaurants, and local sights. Only problem was road noise. Wish Village Realty agent had mentioned house backs up to a busy road. Other than that, the house was great.

Great place to house all 14 of us for a fun week! We had a couple issues (shower clogged with sewage, which was remedied immediately after we called) and crackers under the drundel bed but good overall

What a great house! Beautifully decorated and so clean. We really enjoyed the hot tub, pool table and loft. The stand alone ice maker was such a great bonus. Kitchen was well stocked and everything was in great condition and working order. Couldn`t have asked for a better rental for our family vacation!

Carolina dreaming was just that a place you dream of taking your children!! As soon as we opened the door it smelled amazingly clean! The pictures portray exactly how the house is! It is well kept up and updated! The kitchen, dining and living area is so open that we never felt crowded when we all were in the same area! Plenty of bathrooms so everyone could get cleaned up at the same time and plenty of sleeping areas! We are so pleased! Also bonus is a wonderful view of the ocean! Basically no houses block your view straight to it! Only possible negative is the road noise but is the worse on the top level but even then it did not bother us! Would definitely stay here again!
