OCEANFRONT ELEGANCE, 8 MASTER BEDROOMS -

My extended family of 18 stayed in this spacious 8 bedroom home for one gorgeous October week. ISea Esta really is a pretty home with nice decor and lots of sunny places. We loved the enormous wide open kitchen well stocked with appliances, utensils, cookware, etc. The Viking cook top was great! Having two dishwashers and plenty of refrigerator space was great too. The location right on the beach is amazing and convenient--can't beat the views from the dining area. Pool was clean with ample seating around it. Enjoyed many soaks in the large hot tub. Took some wonderful, long bike trips around the area, which was quiet in the off season. Stores do close early though and some restaurants are closed.
We are frequent vrbo renters so we have seen the gamut of houses and amenities. The cons that kept this house from a "great" rating were lots of cigarette butts that initially greeted us at side of driveway and beside pool deck shower entrance, dirty stairway carpet, pool table and cues in disrepair (but still had fun use of it just had to share a cue stick), hot tub cover looks like someone dropped a boulder on it, no cleaning products at all, confusing electronics despite manual instructions being provided and most curious of all was that there was not enough TP for all the bathrooms (6 rolls for 10 bathrooms)--called the rental co and they said that is standard? May seem nit picky but it's the "little things" sometimes. Bikes for use would be a nice touch as well so no need to transport.
We would return--just feel it needs a bit of TLC and some attention to detail.

We had a wonderful vacation! The home is lovely and and didn't lack a single thing. We felt right at home without the need to do extensive cleaning (many times we have had to in other places.) We celebrated my sister's 40th Wedding Anniversary with a formal meal and were blown away with the pictures! It looked like we were at an expensive restuarant. Thank you so much for this opportunity. When we come back to the Outer Banks, we will certainly look this place up. The only negative we had was the pool. It definitely needs a solution for the skimming problem. But it wasn't so bad that we couldn't enjoy using it. Thanks again and best wishes for a properous season.

Sea Esta Is a beautiful, well equipped home. Our group was from five states and ages ranged from 8mo. to 60yrs,and a wonderful time was had by all. We already reserved for next year. We would reccomend a new gas grill, pool skimmer, workable baby gate and a better functioning pool filter and solar cover.
