Duck stay
Clean and comfortable home. Great location Inadequate lighting in living and dining areas. Lamp on off switch broken in the living room Poorly appointed kitchen - inadequate number and size of pots and pans Lack of written information regarding the house (operating the tv, recycling instruction) and the community (medical services, the board walk). Information regarding house location from the beach was felt to be inaccurate. Material stated it’s a block off the beach. It is more like a quarter mile from the beach

Good if you are looking for a price point
This review is two fold. One on the unit, one on the property managers, Vacasa: We arrived on time to find the unit very unclean. The bedrooms were fine, but the trash cans were full, the floors dirty, and a pending drywall repair in the kitchen unfinished with drywall dust everywhere. We called Vacasa and the representative was very concerned and promised to have a cleaning crew there within the hour. They did just that. The husband/wife team did an excellent job cleaning the condo in about an hour. We were very happy and called Vacasa back to thank them. That said, Vacasa called us back the next day to follow up. They were excellent in responding to our concerns. The Unit: We were looking for a price point because we were only staying in Duck 3 nights. The unit is well located off Rt. 12 and only minutes from Duck. It seemed to have all new TVs(I had to program the living room TV as a new setup) and the internet was fast. The unit could use some upgrades. The living room area rug had curled up corners that are a trip hazard. Shower curtains were a cheaper grade. Both decks were quite weathered and needed some boards replaced. The furniture was comfortable, and the master bed was very comfortable. We wanted to use the tennis courts but the electronic lock wasn't working. If you are looking for a price point rental and don't mind some cheaper appointments this is a fine choice. My rating of 3 stars was boosted by Vacasa's performance.

Nice Property - Close to Duck
This is a very nice property and is in close proximity to Duck - nice walking distance. It is right on the main street so there is some road noise but not too bad, though. The walk to the beach and pool amenities are about a block away. We would definitely stay again.

Nice place
Place was very nice. For the most part it was a clean space, linens and towels were clean. Only few negatives, the area rugs in living room/dining area were flipped up in the corner and could be a tripping hazard. And it appeared the master bathroom was not cleaned prior to us checking in. By choice, since our time there was limited due obligations, we did not notify anyone. Also, the blinds were missing some hanging slats and didn’t operate properly on some doors. This was inconvenient from a privacy standpoint. With that said, I wouldn’t hesitate recommending or staying there again! (Lastly, it would have been helpful to have instructions on how to work the living room TV. There was 3 remotes, one had no batteries).

Not Terrible, But...
Lots of issues, mostly minor. Some were taking care of almost immediately by the property manager Vacasa, but others were more irritating. For example, although this is a beach type property, there were no beach towels, no beach chairs or umbrellas, and no cart to carry any beach stuff to the beach. From a safety standpoint, there was no way to deadbolt the door from the inside other than the code activated door lock, which presumably has the same code for all guests and could be open from the outside. It was a pretty basic property that was missing a lot of the little amenities that make a difference, which we did not expect at that price point. We are neither snobs no slobs, but this property left much to be desired.

Great location. Property was fine.
Location is great. The prior tenant left full trash bags and the property manager never picked them up after multiple attempts. Other than the experience was fine.
