AVKS170 Three Sheets to the Wind #70-1

We absolutely loved this house! I searched hundreds of houses looking for a home that was dated with nostalgia and this nailed in on the head. The home was clean, and comfortable but it was set back in time in a truly lovely way. From the old school decor, to the same exact plates I grew up with, it was a blast from the past and we will definitely be going back. So many of the rental homes are white washed inside with gorgeous modern interiors, and we love that too, but we wanted something that felt cozy for winter, and embracing when you walk in, and this house does that. There is a board game closet stocked with lots of great throwbacks. We loved that the home is walking distance to groceries and restaurants. There is ample parking in the driveway to probably fit five cars if needed. For winter stays, the house was very warm and not drafty, the heat works well, and the windows have all been upgraded to double pane. Management was great, we had a few minor things come up that were quickly addressed. This house would be great for families and especially good for a girls or guys trip to reminisce old times. If I didn't live in Atlanta, I would consider buying it!

My husband and I really enjoyed the home. Lots of stairs. Boardwalk to the beach was awesome.

We have been booking three sheets for years and every time we stay we create so many memories. This stay we noticed the new living room furniture which looks so nice. The upstairs toilet was a little wobbly, but I’m sure that’s an easy fix. The hot tub didn’t work, but they gave us a refund for the hot tub fee right away. Overall, we had a great stay. Thanks for the memories!

The house was perfect for us! If you struggle with stairs, this is NOT your place. I don’t know that this area (OBX) is your place if you struggle with stairs. On to the house itself. It could use some updating, sure. But it was still very comfortable. The biggest things I saw was the carpet starting to rip up on the steps. We only slept in the king bed one the main level. The room was huge! The bed was too firm for my liking but I still slept ok. We were kind of bummed that only one window opened and stayed open on its own but didn’t have a screen in that bedroom. We had cooler nights and would have loved to slept with a window open. The AC in the house is amazing! The upper loft room does tend to stay a lot warmer than the rest of the house but is to be expected since it’s on the 3rd level. The views from that room are awesome but the stairs are kind of steep. If you are traveling with a group or family, there were so many board games and books provided for rainy days or evenings. We had plenty of cookware for the meals we cooked. I would have preferred some more non-stick pans but we made due. The coffee pot is a normal one so bring or buy filters. The hot tub was clean and was great to have on arrival day and in the evenings of our trip. And don’t be fooled! Those ratchet straps for the lid are NOT for just in between guests… the ocean wind WILL open it again if you don’t use them. We did see some beach toys in the outdoor shower area. We would stay again

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon! It was perfect for us!! We loved the views from all the rooms we used in the house, the porch and hot tub. Beach access was super easy!

House was clean and comments from negative reviews we read before getting there were so minor they did not affect our stay at all. Great place

Great place, beautiful beach, and didn't realize it's only 5 min to Food Lion and Duck Donuts!

House definitely a great value! Older home but clean and access to beach is great with stairs on both sides of dunes! Would definitely stay at this property again!

We had a wonderful stay here at Three Sheets to the Wind. We felt like we almost had the whole beach to ourselves. The views from in the house, decks, and hot tub are beautiful. We had great weather all week.

Great ocean views and very short walk to beach. House is showing its age and could use some sprucing up but very comfortable.

We love three sheets! We haven’t been in about 5 years, but it’s our favorite house. We love the little reading nook and the views are fantastic.

Grammy and Grandpa took 3 grandchildren to OBX. After much research we chose 3 sheets to the wind. There is some truth in all the negative observations. In spite of that, due to the location, we would recommend this rental to anyone. If we get to return to OBX I hope to rent this property again.

We enjoyed the house and especially the oceanfront location! The hot tub was wonderful, the kitchen is well stocked, and the porches looked out at the ocean were lovely. Everything was comfortable. It would be nice if they'd fix the hot tub cover and the toilet paper holder in the downstairs middle bathroom. We would stay there again.

What a great location! Easy walkway out to the beautiful beaches from this ocean front house. Also very close to the pier and walking distance to grocery store, markets and restaurants. Views from the decks are spectacular. Kitchen very usable and comfortable sleeping.

This home is a great value for a beach front property. While this home isn't updated, it works perfectly for the small amount my family was in the home. So if you are booking understand the bathrooms are dated. But everything inside the home functions. Couldn't get the propane grill to work, but the charcoal one was perfect. What I wasn't pleased about was Vacasa. My family reunion was scheduled a year and half ahead of time when the beach nourishment project was not scheduled to be in front of this house. The scheduled was changed and unfortunately I lost my beach access and had lights and noises nonstop for 5 days. Vacasa never notified me of any changes and would not offer anything to alleviate the premium paid for beach access. I have decided not to book with Vacasa again but now that the nourishment is done I do recommend this house. You will have plenty of beach for your family.

Nice home, very nice location, well maintained and clean with some evidence of age and watermarks on wood trim. A few lightbulbs out and toilet in master suite kind of sticks and refills periodically. Carpet, hot tub, and appliances in good condition. I thought ocean view was mostly from loft only but main level has a very good view of the ocean waves, dolphins, birds. The beach access deck at the top of dune was a favorite

We loved this house. Beautiful beach in the backyard, perfect decks to enjoy the stars, clean and perfect for a peaceful vacation. Great proximity to grocery stores but still secluded and quiet. Five stars!

The home has a great location just off the beach and very close to groceries. The home was very relaxing. There were a few small issues. The water smelled like rotten eggs. Many of the dishes and pans were dirty and older. The home has clearly been well loved and is need of updates. The furniture is old and worn and the comforters are outdated. The beds were comfortable. There is an expectation of cleaning, but not enough supplies are left to clean properly. No working sweeper. Not enough dish soap, trash bags, etc. I would stay here again but I would just pack a bit different knowing what I know now.

The bathroom on the main living floor needs some TLC. My wife and I stayed in the lovely loft and that was our main bathroom. Some peeling drywall and old dingy shower controls. But useable. Lots of OLD electronics in the main living area. I donated a fiber optic cable so that the stereo system provided better sound for our movies and TV. The biggest negative was the state of the home when we arrived. The cleaning crew needed more time and vacasa was polite and generous because of the late entry. While that was highly appreciated, we still expected a somewhat clean house. I think all they did was put sheets on the beds. Maybe our expectations are too high. Food on the steps, vacuumed 4 to 5 cups of sand out of the carpet. So doubt they vacuumed at all. Sand on a bedspread too. Doubt anyone has cleaned the ladder nook in a long time. There will be sand everywhere. Parking area is sand. So sand comes in easily. Oh, and there was no screened area of hammock like the pictures showed. Once we got passed all that, we had a great time. Great views of the beach. Nice hot tub. AC works really well.

Nice home, right on the beach and with a hot tub. The house itself has some repairs needed, but nothing major. Was really happy at the proximity to the Food Lion. We'd rent it again.

When you arrive at the location, you are greeted by the beautiful scene. Ocean front!! The house is massive from the outside but set up very comfortably inside. The wall of windows on the second level showcased the ocean. The house has everything you need and has all the supply’s You will ever need in a rental kitchen. The floors had just been steam cleaned and a tad wet when we arrived, the hot tub was empty and being refilled by the staff. They have a linen service bring clean stuff and take out the used. *NO* bugs in the house at all!! Very impressive. Cons..... the hot tub top was broken, very difficult opening and closing the tub. Still usable. I emailed but no one responded. The hot tub jets need work, a few didn’t operate at all. The bathrooms need a upgrade. A little paint goes a long way! Replace the master bath toilet. Please be advised new renters!! This is a dated home but it was clean and had everything we needed. It’s not a hotel, so things will go wrong. It’s worth it!! The ocean and outside decks are impressive!!! I will definitely rent again!!!

We had the best week! Great house, great location. The house could have been cleaner and the property definately needs more than one trash barrel. That being said, everything else was fabulous and we can’t wait to go back to three sheets to the wind next year!!
