My family had a great time. We’ll definitely be back for sure. If I could live there for real I’d definitely stay there forever. We loved to wake up to the ocean off of deck. And home was very clean.

The house was absolutely gorgeous and we had so much room for everyone. Even when we had questions the rental company was so helpful and quick to answer. The only small thing we had happen was the WiFi connection wasn’t the best all through the house. Great location for fishing and relaxing with family and friends.

Just got home from a Great week! Everyone loved the rental and plenty of room for everyone! We had 1 issue pop up and the owner had it taken care of within a few hours. Thank You! If we head back next year I will be looking to see if it is available again!

Home away from home from June 8-15. Great house, and gets better every year. This was our 5th year in the house. Amenities are excellent. The house meets our needs-not too big; not too small, and good value price-wise. Got to meet owners, who have done a great job with the house since acquiring it.

We have stayed at Down By The Sea multiple times over the years and have plans for many more visits! The size of the house is perfect for our family. The house is great and we enjoyed the updates the new owners have made and look forward to seeing future updates. The location is great and we love the beach access!

I've been sportfishing and vacationing in OBX for over 30 years. This was the best house I've rented to date. Vacasa was able to accommodate an off week schedule and communicated all the details perfectly. Everyone (9 snorers) had their own room which is Priceless. The amenities made the place feel like a resort and had excellent access to the beach. Great job by the homeowner furnishing their home.

House was ideal. It had everything you could possibly want or need for a week at the OBX. The facilities were clean and neat, the appliances all worked flawlessly and the elevator was a wonderful addition for some of our older invitees. I would rent again in a heartbeat.

We love this place! The house is big enough for us all to be under one roof (which is perfect for this mom of all grown kids) and still have our own space! The beach is fantastic! I just wish the top deck was a little higher so we could see over the dune in front of the house…. But we love it and are already counting the days until our next visit!
