Aqua Dreams - K0097

We loved this house! The house was recently renovated and very clean. It was the perfect size for our small family. The view was great as was the beach access with it's own private walkway to the beach. We will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful location, well equipped

We loved the fact that this house is so well located on the beach, behind the dune but easily accessible to the beach.

It was great! Wonderful view of beach from the housr. It was not crowded like Duck etc.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Aqua Dreams! The location can't be beat - it feels VERY secluded with how it's situated on the lot / lack of neighbors to the south but is close to restaurants, shops, grocery store, etc. Best of both worlds!

The home itself is adorable, clean, well maintained, cozy and comfy (and not the real estate version of 'cozy' meaning small!) The kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies / dishwater / etc. Beach just outside the doors is beautiful, clean, and tons of treasures to hunt for at low tide. Game room is stocked with tons of board games (great entertainment while Idalia was blowing her way through!)

Speaking of Idalia - being a group of people from the desert - tropical storms/hurricanes are not something we know anything about other than watching the news from across the country! Beach Realty was absolutely amazing at providing updates and calmed our nerves when I called to ask if we should be prepping more / needing a "what are the locals doing?" perspective. While Idalia wasn't that big of a storm (it was for us LOL) I'm confidant that in a potentially serious storm/ situation, they will step up to that plate without issue.

Would happily stay again (and again...and again!)

we all were happy with the stay . if we could we would rent it again.

As secluded of a first row beach house as one can get. Never felt like my neighbors were on top of me. The house had everything you needed to enjoy your vacation. Great value for what you get for sure

Aqua Dreams is in an outstanding location, near Milepost 20, Oceanfront. It's a little tricky to find the driveway, initially, but what a great spot. The beach opposite the property is wider than at many locations in Nags Head, with a gentle slope that provides easy access to the water. It's perfect.

In addition to location, the property has a lot going for it: an excellent kitchen with good appliances, a washer and dryer, hot tub, TVs everywhere, wi-fi and (importantly) three excellent showers with plenty of hot water. The beds are comfortable. The linen package is well worth the extra charge. The deck furniture is outstanding. Dishes and utensils are plentiful and varied (very much so), and of excellent quality. Furniture is substantial and comfortable. The view from either deck (but especially the upper deck) is outstanding.

We note a few inconveniences: the front door keypad worked only occasionally. I got locked out on our first day, before recognizing the issue. We called in a work order, immediately, but no action was taken during our week to rectify the issue. We used the emergency key to avoid getting locked out. The propane grille was filthy and we wouldn't touch it. The ice maker didn't function. The butcher block counter was sticky, as if someone used vegetable oil on it. It needs to be stripped and refinished. The upstairs was cool but the lower sleeping level was stuffy...not good air flow from the A/C, there. Fortunately, there are ceiling fans to help move some air. On our last evening, high offshore winds ripped some siding off of the south side of the structure. Hopefully, this will be repaired, immediately.

Now, having listed the positives and negatives... would we stay there again? Absolutely, yes! The negatives are easily addressed (and I expect them to be), and the positives far outweigh the minor inconveniences we experienced. I would not hesitate to recommend Aqua Dreams and we hope to get b

This home is very nice. Wonderful location. The house needs a little TLC on some of it.

My husband and I had a great time at Aqua Dreams. My only issue was that upon arrival, the trash from the previous tenants was not taken to the trash cans. Instead, the bags were on the ground below the house.

A wonderful stay! We loved the house! The location was absolutely perfect- almost a private beach. The house was very clean when we came in and the house was well equipped for meals. The beds were super comfortable. Only one minor thing was that the dryer didn't work too well even when we cleaned the vent. (but that did not affect our stay at all ).

My husband and I stayed at Aqua Dreams as part of our honeymoon. The property was great. It was very well kept and the view was amazing.

Love that you can see the shoreline from the decks - even the lower deck. There is a short patch of driveway that is soft sand with a bit of a hill and some bumps. In case you are worried about the 4wd thing I wanted to let you know we had no problems getting in and out with our Subaru. Where you park is fine, and the main driveway is fine - it’s just a short patch of sand that connects. Would be great if that patch could be evened out a little or paved or something - but it did not interfere with our fun. We had a great stay!

I want to say this is a great house that needs some tlc. It is in a great location. Lots of space.They have it decorated very pretty. It is stocked with blenders, all sizes dishes, bowls , pans, cookie sheets, etc. There are books and games, boogie boards and beach chairs. (The beach stuff is in a shed under the house) There are extra pillows and blankets. The house was clean, the furniture is nice. (The queen bed is really noisy, lol). There is not a dresser in the queen room. Just about everything you need is here. There are not a lot of out lets. So to charge your cell phone, you can't do it by the bed. I like to read my computer in bed, but no outlet close enough to keep it charged. I would say bring a small extension cord. There are cleaning supplies. Brooms, dust pans, a vacuum. There is a tub for washing your feet off out on the deck. A hose by the hot tub too. We saw many different birds, a salt water snapper, puffer fish, skates, dolphins, and a whale. All right in front of the house. That being said, you can tell the weather has taken it's toll. Some of the paneling? is bubbling off the wall. The vent in the bathroom doesn't fit the whole, screws are not all the way in , (we really watched our feet). The tub , if you need one, it doesn't plug. That was not an issue for us. There are multiple fire alarms, but one atlaease one was not together. The things wrong are just mostly cosmetic. It really is a nice house, great decks, lots of sun, great shade when you need it. The real-estate was easy to work with. I did call and tell them about some of the above issues. They seemed to care. Future reviews can reveal if they fixed the issues. I would recommend to a friend, but I would also let them know the quirks.

We stayed in a great house right on the ocean. Sitting on the deck watch the sunrise was such a treat. The house was very clean. We really like the open layout of the top floor. The kitchen was very well updated.
