Key to Paradise - K0356

My family stayed here a few years back and would highly recommend this place! From kitchen to laundry room it has all the necessities and just a very short walk to the beach…nice outdoor shower, pool and hot tub!

It was such a an easy process and there were no unexpected surprises. We loved it!

House was exactly as described and we had a great stay. Beach is super close which is what we wanted. The pool and hot tub are really nice also. Overall we had a great time and would definitely recommend

Plenty of sleeping and outdoor space. The pool was a nice size.

Definitely recommend getting the upholstered/cushioned furniture cleaned - they were too dirty to sit on - we only sat on the sofas.

Love the location , clean well stocked . Pool was a lifesaver in hot days

Everything about the home was perfect! We had 10 people and there was plenty of room for everyone. Beautiful pool and very easy path to the beach. Everything was very clean and decorated beautifully. We loved our experience there.

I would rate this rental experience a 7.5 out of 10 The property has great potential but there are a few maintenance issues such as cleanliness (holy dust) and dirty door tracks on patio doors dirty pool needed vacuuming spider webs on decks ridiculously slow bathroom drains Rickety railing on large staircase leading down to the pool AC return cages filthy dirty B Ball hoop bent

Awesome rental! Plenty of space for everyone. Super layout from ground level up to the topside kitchen a great room.

Convenient to the beach just a short walk across the adjacent property then over the dune.

The pool and hot tub added that extra touch that makes this place that much better!

Manager Response: Donald, Thanks for the stellar review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the topside kitchen – because who doesn't want to feel like a gourmet chef with an ocean view? And we agree, any

It was great finding a place to accommodate our three-generation gathering that gave us an ocean view, quiet community feel, with close proximity to dining and entertainment.

House was good. bed rooms were a little small. Tv/internet didn't work until Thursday before we left but not the owners fault, previous renter apparently didn't call it in. would stay there again. pool and hot tub were nice as was the house.

Great location and accommodations. Plenty of room for our group and close to beach. Due for some maintenance and cleaning.

Wonderful property.

Our group of 6 women enjoyed the house a great deal! It was a perfect end of the school year retreat. The pool was nice but had sand in it when we arrived and even though the pool man was there during the week it was not swept:(

Manager Response: We are so grateful for your kind words. Thanks for sharing your review with us!

This property was spacious and clean. Easy beach access and awesome pool. Manager was very responsive and we even were given early access. The neighborhood is awesome also. Property description was accurate. Would recommend friends and family to this property.

The keyless entry and early access was wonderful. Everything was clean and I recommend the linen package as bed were all made (except top bunks). The walk to the beach wasnt bad, had a few hills which made pulling our wagon a little tougher, but luckily all our kids were old enough to walk and carry things. The house could use some updates. A shower head with a hose to help rinse of young children and clean sand from the tub would be great! All new toilet seats would improve general impression of bathrooms.

A shower head with a hose to help rinse of young children and clean sand from the tub would be great! All new toilet seats would improve general impression of bathrooms. The pool gate latch needs to be changed out to make access more protected for young children and make it easier to use from both sides. We had several wasp nests and were told an exterminator was coming to take care of it, but no one came. Luckily no one in our party was allergic. Several wasps did het into the home though from accessing the decks. Overall, though we enjoyed our stay. The layout was great for two families. The pool was great for after the beach too! Would stay here again!

Our house was very clean. We enjoyed the nice pool and hot tub. I would prefer to have the kitchen on the second floor so when people get up early they can't be heard walking in the rooms below. The house had plenty of extras for us to use at the beach. I would recommend this to other traelers.

My family and I had our first beach vacation to the Outer Banks. We chose this place because of its location, and most importantly it's price. I looked at other places to stay, but this place was just too appealing to have a pool and hot tub that you did not have to share with other residents of a complex. The girls had a great time in the pool and hot tub, I loved the amount of equipment in the kitchen, the awesome beach decor, and as I said the location just cannot be beat. The only bad thing about the property, other than having to go up three flights of stairs to get to the kitchen, is the floors on the third floor. When you are in the bedrooms on the second floor, you can hear everything when someone is walking around upstairs. The floors are very creaky, so much so that I was awakened from a sound sleep by someone just walking across the dining room overhead. Otherwise you will not regret staying at this place. The beach is very close, lots of attractions are a short drive away, and it is on a nice quiet side street. I will definitely be staying here again sometime in the future.

Ordered the ‘fresh catches’ at Sugar Creek Seafood, Sam and Omie’s and Basnight’s Lone Cedar restaurants-all were excellent! The dinners at The Pony and the Boat (looked like a newer place-great comfort food!)and I Got Your Crabs were also delicious (we ordered from regular menu and not ‘catch of the day’’ at those places). Most Restaurants had to be driven to. Wright Brothers Memorial National Park, the Hatteras National Seashore Lighthouse & Kitty Hawk Woods Costal Reserve parks were all great places to visit. I will definitely recommend this house to friends!

was great in every way!!!!!

Manager Response: Hi Maureen. We're so very glad to hear that you had a fantastic vacation at 'Key to Paradise' and you found everything to be in order. We hope to welcome you back very soon.

This house is perfect for families of all ages. We were a party of 4 adults, 2 children under 3 and we had a wonderful time here. The house was safe and had all the amenities we needed - from plenty of kitchenware for cooking, high chair and pack-and-play, bunk beds, and a big pool and hot tub. It's very convenient to the beach though you do have to cross a busy road to get there. Fantastic spot to relax with your family though and disconnect.

House was still beautiful with new carpet and paint. Previous reviews indicated it was filthy. So sorry to hear that! It was clean and very nice! If folks would adhere to washing dishes and not putting dirty dishes in the cabinets, and clean up after themselves, this wouldn’t happen. We respect a rental unit as it was our own home and left it as we would our own. Renters need to respect the property so others can enjoy them. Weather not so good - but NEVER a bad day at the beach! We’ll be back! A dumb waiter outside would sure be helpful to older folks! ��

Our family of 12 had a wonderful week seen in this house! The location was perfect, and easy walk to the beach . Even our smaller children could make the walk. All the kids really loved having a pool of our own so that was a huge plus for us

We had a great time in this house! The walk to beach is short but almost all sand. Always great to have a pool; plenty of seating around it as well as all over the balconies. I know it can sleep 11 but really 6 or 7 ppl should be max. The couches in living room seemed new, mattresses comfortable, well-stocked kitchen. Decor was very fun beach-theme. There are only a few issues that are easily remedied. Some of the furniture was a little worn, Drawers in one of the dressers kept coming off the track. While

Location to the beach cant be beat! We made some terrific family memories this week. Our kids loved the pool; plenty of amenities to satisfy everyone outside! We loved the layout of the house. Every room has a deck entrance which was great for evenings. Great usage of space for the size of the property. House well-stocked, great location, all the amenities. The house could use an update, in my opinion. Carpet isnt always the best choice in a beach house where everyone drags in sand. I was a bit disappoint

The app is amazing! I love that you text when it is time to take out the garbage, the mobile checkout feature, report an issue feature. The app made the stay even easier. The house location was great - very much what I expected. The house is a little dated for the price. I would definitely replace the carpet with tile or hardwoods. The pool was dirty with sand when we arrived and there is beginning to be some rust stains in the fridge. Other than that, it was in good shape and served our purposes wel

We would definitely rent this home again. It was close to everything and had all the space our family needed.

We picked a winter time vacation at the outer banks because we want to avoid too many people and find some peace and quiet. We were happy with the house, with only a few complaints. So the the kitchen and bedding supplies weren’t diligently restocked. The window and glass doors were dirty, etc, all suggesting that they were not very well cleaned. Other than that, we had a good stay.

Location was good, pool and hot tub were wonderful. One queen bed like a rock, other queen room could use a cleaning. Overall the house was great.

property location was great, just a short walk to the beach.the house had everything we needed for the weeks stay. pretty rainy week but enough to do to keep us busy. loved the pool and hot tub. however, the house definatly could have been cleaner-child's finger prints all over the full length mirrors, ceiling fans were so dirty, cherrios on the floor, looks like the furniture had not been moved in some time to sweep under it.

The only downside was the pool did have quite a bit of sand in it. The notification on the pool door was served at noon which was after departure of previous tennants. Firstly, showers showers should be taken prior to entering the pool. However it was serviced after departure. We LOVE this unit and take care as it was our own! Can't wait till next year!!��

So close to the beach! Very short walk. Pool and hot tub were great. Views from the top deck were beautiful. Wonderful vacation home.

I had family in for Thanksgiving and couldn't fit them all in my home. We rented Key to Paradise for the overflow, 5 adults and 1 child. It was perfect, the kitchen was very well stocked and the house is precious! Everyone had a great time. We loved the themed bedrooms! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This was my second timing staying in this house and I absolutely love it. The location to the beach and town is great. The pool is an extra bonus to have when the weather isn't the best for a beach day and it is a good size with plenty of sitting.

The house was very nice. Clean. Well laid out and spacious. Totally exceeded our expectations. Except the cable was out and no one fixed it even after a call into the realty company. Otherwise the house was great. Great location! The outside shower was the best. Pool was great too! I would totally recommend the property to someone!!

This home has all the little extras with a very well-equipped kitchen to make you feel right at home. This was our family's fifth year to the OBX and we love to see a new house every year, but we all said we would come back to St. Somewhere! Great time
