Well stocked and well situated
We had a wonderful week at Fancy close to the beach and within walking distance of Jeanette's Pier.....two living areas were wonderful and the upstairs deck perfect for sun-rise watching.

Simply Wonderful!
The property description was spot on. The location is Perfect! Loved the open vaulted loft design of the home. It was clean, spacious and fun. The home is thoughtfully furnished and equipped with kitchenware, TVs, books, toys, games, and a variety of beach chairs/games. The ease of access to the beach was fantastic! Watching the sunrise from the upper deck was amazing. We played pool at our leisure, relaxed in the hot tub on the lower deck, and slept in very comfortable beds! It all works well together! The propane gas grill was intimidating. It would’ve been nice to grill, but we didn’t use it. Instead we stocked the fridge with beverages and fruit, and The FreshFit Cafe, Lucky 12 Tavern, and the Fish Heads Bar & Grill became our favorite places to eat. We found a local store, W S Stetson Inc, to buy conch shells as keepsakes. We enjoyed The Lost Colony outdoor drama/play, and it was exciting to see glimpses of bottlenose dolphins during our Kitty Hawk Kite Dolphin Watch boat tour. My granddaughter got to drive the boat, and we all learned interesting ecosystem and wildlife facts. We had a wonderful OBX experience and an amazing stay at the Fancy Free property!

We had a great time at Fancy Free in mid-October. There was plenty of room for 5 adults and one baby. The direct access to the beach, views of the beach and the hot tub were awesome. We had no troubles and would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Week
The rental agency did a great job creating a smooth arrival and departure. The house was relatively clean, but I am admittedly very demanding regarding cleanliness. All of the linen was delivered in sealed bags which was appreciated. The owners had obviously once decorated and furnished the home very thoughtfully; however, some quests had been less than considerate during their stays leaving the furnishings somewhat worn and spotted. The walk to the beach was a little difficult for those of us who are not in great physical shape due to the sand from the dunes covering some of the steps almost completely but we were able to maneuver our way.. My husband thought the hottub was very nice . The decks were very convenient for different times of the day and the view from inside the upper level was beautiful.

We enjoyed our stay, the house needs a little love. It was cozy, comfortable and suited our needs. Some upkeep around the outside and a few things on the inside, but we were there for the beach and it totally delivered on that!

Great location!
Great location, comfortable beds and nice spaces within the house. The kitchen is tight, but we made due.
The house needs some TLC as it is showing it's age. The deck railings are dangerous, some are coming apart from the other parts of the deck. The whirlpool tub in the upper bathroom needs a thorough cleaning (green stuff was coming out of the jets). The Hot Tub had scum around the water line and was not serviced while we were there. There is a split in the pvc pipe on the shower that is on the walkway to the beach.
The indoor furniture is filthy. It gives you an ick factor.
The outdoor furniture that is on the main deck (same as the hot tub) is faded to almost no color is showing and also very old and in need of being replaced.
All of the pictures online need to be updated.
This is a great house and it would be ashamed to see it continue to decline.

Beary Good Time
The house itself is OK. It is very dated and there are areas in the home that show severe water damage. They could remove 75% of the art and the Bear room was a bit much! The showerhead on the lower deck does not work and the outdoor showers could do with a clearing of vegetation. The beach chairs are not reliable bring your own and the lower deck chairs are on their last leg. Overall, the house was great for entertaining and has excellent views. It just needs a little sprucing up, clearing out, and dusting. The beds were comfortable.

All in all, I’d say awesome!
First and foremost the shower curtain in one of the bathrooms upstairs had a 4-5” band of mold at the bottom, no one used it until we took time from the vacation to go shopping for a new one, have pictures. The new one was put up, the old one was left draped over the toilet when we left. Also not really sure that the ones that are responsible for cleaning the unit really knows how to, the dust was very easily spotted, also have pictures of glass top night stand.
We arrived early for early check in only to find that there is now
early check in on this unit which, when rebooking for next year that there is indeed early check in.
Yes, although discouraged on our arrival we booked again for 2023.
Emails were sent, complaints were voiced to the realtor but I have heard nothing as of today.

Multi generational vacay
Fancy Free lived up to its name-we arrived and kicked off our shoes and the stress melted away! The check in and communication was seamless, the house well equipped and located so that we could enjoy every moment of the beautiful OBX. More functional than luxurious and dated, but my teens were actually very charmed by this and it reminded me of my many visits as a child to the various rugged beach houses over the years. Loved that the mattresses were so high quality, the large dining table, smaller cafe tables and bar space allowed plenty of room for eating, puzzles, etc...most of all it was a joy to find an affordable, lovely home right on the ocean.

Great location
Great ocean views from both decks. It is comfy house. One of the bathrooms only has a spa tub, no shower. New frying pans would be great. Has most everything you need to cook. Love the beach front location.

Had a great time, house needs repairs and new furniture.
We had a very relaxing vacation and enjoyed the ocean a lot. Beds were very comfortable. The house needs repairs in many areas. Upstairs furniture is in very poor shape, especially deck chairs. Boards on boardwalk need replacing. Outside shower behind carport was a sandy, overgrown mess. Pics on web site are obviously old. We still had a fun week :) If repairs and updates were done, we would come back again. This house is too nice to be so neglected.

Great House
Overall a great week and good experience. House was clean and kitchen was well appointed. Our only complaint - the two bedrooms on the main/lower level did not cool well. The rest of the house was fine. We brought our own beach chairs and glad we did. Owners may want to invest in new ones for the house. Footloose next door had very nice ones for their guests.

Fancy Free
Pros The view and location are awesome. Plenty of room for all-
Cons the AC downstairs never cooled below 78 while upstairs was perfect. The walkway needs tlc as many boards are loose. One big window leaks (was reported and a call was made but no one came to fix it). The hot tub was unusable-a repair team came out but was unable to fix it. Management replies quickly to issues but the repairs weren’t fixed, many things can be fixed during the off season and would make someone’s stay better.

Management replies quickly to issues but the repairs weren’t fixed, many things can be fixed during the off season and would make someone’s stay better.
Manager's Response
We will be sure to pass your feedback along to the owner so he can rectify your concerns for future guests.

Rental Review
Great location, very nice house. Terrible experience using the TV due to the service provider. They need to update that system. But, fortunately we didn't watch much TV.

A lovely week!
We enjoyed our stay in Fancy Free. It was a lovely home in a perfect location! With a little extra attention, it would be a GREAT home. A couple of the bedroom fans were inoperable, there were used, dirty, stained sheets left on the sofa bed, and needed more guest storage. But, in the grand scheme of things, this is minor. Beach Realty was very responsive about a leaking water heater and replaced it within 24 hours! If we didn't have an extra family joining us next summer, we would definitely rent Fancy Free again.
Manager's Response
Thank you so much for leaving a review for your stay at Fancy Free. We are sorry you had an experience with a stained sheet. We get our linens from a large company that supplies most if not all of the rental companies on the Outer Banks. We are so happy to hear that you did not let this minor annoyance damper your beach time, and we are happy to hear that Beach Realty's service department was quick to react and the outcome was easy and not intrusive to your getaway. We sincerely hope to see you on the beach again soon with Beach Realty!

Great Getaway
We had a wonderful stay in Nags Head, I had never been to the outer banks I lived in NC for 25 years, the only thing I have to say is why did I not come here before now. The house that we rented was fantastic, and the stay was great. We will definitely be back again.

Great place!
This place was beautiful! Great location and plenty of room. Only problem was the living room furniture was coming loose and I reported it on Monday but no one came to fix them. We could still use them but didn’t want to be blamed for them breaking completely. Otherwise a great place!

Great House on the beach
We rented this house for 3 times over 3 years as a family vacation. It's in a great location, with decent amenities and the perfect beach access/location.
Our only complaint is the change in the WiFi to a hotel type WiFi. It use to be just a normal house WiFi, which worked wonderfully. Then they changed it to a hotel type, where you had to log in every day and over half the time it didn't work, you couldn't log on, or it would just kick you off. This year it was important to have access to WiFi, as my husband had to work for a portion of each day - which alone wasn't ideal, then just made worse by the internet situation.
The rental staff has been generally very easy to work with.
We will miss going to this house each year and hope you will enjoy your stay just as much as we did, despite any challenges.

Very Good Vacation House
Wonderful location and amenities! Two downers were the carpets were very worn and not very clean, and one of the first floor bedrooms and the hall bath were not able to get cool. In fact, depending on the time of day they were actually very warm.

Looking for a fall holiday, we chose the Fancy Free property because of its location on the island and the area's points of interest. We enjoyed the multiple master suites, hot tub, pool table, and private access to the beach. The house was a good property but is in need of some deferred maintenance, however. On the first night, the TV failed and we spent the entire week trying to get the rental agency to understand and finally address the issue. As a facilities and maintenance engineer, this was upsetting and disappointing. We did not let this ruin our vacation and did enjoy the site, nearby restaurants, and house.
Manager's Response
Thank you so much for sharing with us. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your home and some of the local attractions. We apologize for the misunderstanding regarding the tv and any frustration it caused. We hope you will visit us again in 2019!

Great location, solid house
Great location and beach access! We used the outdoor hot tub daily. Beds are great, as advertised, and living areas are spacious and comfortable. Some furnishings need updating, but pretty solid for this price range. Be aware the upstairs MBR with jacuzzi tub has no shower, and the water comes out too close to the tub side to rinse your head, so we had to shower in other folks' bathrooms. House description is not clear about that.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback regarding your recent stay at "Fancy Free!" You described the location of this home perfectly.

The house has an excellent floor plan for a group stay. The kitchen is very well stocked with dishes and pans, particularly nice knives for a rental and tons of silver ware. We LOVED the hot tub! The upper deck has comfortable furniture as well. The beds were all pretty good, I wouldn't say luxury mattresses, but more comfortable then most beach houses we have rented over the years. The management needs to take more care of the property. The toilets run and even tho we submitted a work order for that no one came to repair them. The upstairs window still has tape on it, apparently from a repair or replacement and there is wood rot on the window frame. the outdoor showers are full of sand and so is the walkway to the beach, the stairs to the beach have all but disappeared into a dune.

We had a great stay-house was so fun and perfect! Kitchen was so well stocked. Only thing missing on arrival was ice (had to wait for ice maker to fill) and toilet paper (nice to have at least one roll if not one per bathroom).

Perfect Accommodations in Nags Head
Fancy Free is an excellent vacation house for family gatherings. All of the bedrooms are spacious and the mattresses are wonderful. The kitchen is very well equipped for preparing any and all kinds of meals. There is ample counter space and more than plenty of room to dine. The outdoor hot tub is a plus and the pool table on the very large upper level loft is great to have on hand for late night entertainment with friends and family. The house's location on the beach could not be better, and is only a half mile walk on the beach to Jeanette's Pier and is close to many well established restaurants (excellent food and service at Owen's, Tale of the Whale, Sugar Creek and Miller's Waterfront which are all nearby) and attractions. The view from the upper level deck of the house is perfect for morning coffee and dolphin watching! Our 2-week vacation at Fancy Free was just ideal for 7 adults, but there are many accommodations for children of all ages as well. The property was easy to find after check-in and it was clean and orderly when we arrived. We will definitely look for this property again on our next family vacation in the Outer Banks.

This was a great experience from start to finish...the realtor was very helpful ..answered all our question at anytime ...when we got there it was quick and easy check in...we were at our house quickly and on the beach....the linen package was so worth the money, not having to pack all those sheets and towels. What can I say about the house other then it was has the most comfortable beds and pillow...I was very upset I forgot y pillows but didn't matter, these were terrific. It was well stocked with everything you needed, although the beach chairs could be replaced. Torn and wouldn't close but all in all we had a great week and we are going back next year!
