We would certainly recommend this property to other families who enjoy the quiet, and having all the attractions that it offers. A short drive to restaurants, shopping and attractions was a real bonus.

Wonderful Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved this house and location! House is very charming, we fished with our small boat using the boat ramp next door, crabbed from pier and caught huge ones. We kayaked and enjoyed the pool, the butterfly bushes attracted so many butterflies around the pool area. House is gorgeous, did have a hard time knowing the windows did not open which left us with fire escape route concerns in an emergency. Well water is a little funky in smell but we read reviews and brought gallons from store.

Charming!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you want quiet and private this is it!We have stayed in Corolla, and Nags Head so this was different but amazing. You do have to drive to the beach but it is not far. Rooms are spacious, ceiling fans are in every bedroom which is a plus!Water is well water with an odor due to the location of this property, so you will need bottled water to drink but this was not an issue. Pool is amazing and hot tub was great, but the winner is the bluetooth speakers outside! The dining room table is antique but adds to the charm on the place. Enjoy a vacation here, we did!

Beautiful location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice home and loved the views and the secluded area! We did have a problem with spiders though, I had a spider in my bed twice! Could have done without them for sure. Maybe exterminating the home during summer vacation season would be a good idea. There were areas in the home that could have used a bit more cleaning i.e. spider webs on the lamp shades. The air conditioner filters were filthy and affected the flow of air through the vents. But overall it is a nice home with plenty of room and nicely furnished. We would stay there again - just don’t want to share my bed with spiders!

Disappointing

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Within minutes of arriving my father found trash and condoms in his dresser. We had to buy a whole new coffee maker because the one supplied, was in such terrible condition "rusty". Almost every dish in the residence had to be re-washed before use. The house had spider webs everywhere. I understood prior to our arrival that the house was older and would not be perfect but with the amount of money being spent it's disappointing. This was our 8th year visiting the outerbanks for a fishing trip with friends and family. We will not stay here again. At least the views were nice.

Too Much of A Good Thing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upside:This home was IDEAL for our large 5 household family. The location and private pool seemed as though we were on an island all to ourselves. Just minutes from the bridge to Kitty Hawk provided us acces to the beach without worries of being ensconced in a mob of fellow vacationers. Absolutely perfect.The rental agency went above and beyond to correct the satellite issue and shortage of towels when we first arrived.The squadrons of dragonflies made the experience all the more magical.Downside:The owners are changing the number of occupancy, and a family of our size would no longer qualify to stay here. Pity. It more than accommodated our group but now we are forced to find a new location.The weeds around the dock removed the possibility of fishing. We also had to do without the seadoo we had hauled all the way there as the seaweed absolutely choked the engine. Probably better luck for those with a boat. The ramp is literally feet away from the property. The combinations to get to grill and other items in the listing was never provided and we had to improvise for those items.

Sawyer Lodge - July 16-23, 2022

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: -Cleaning people did not arrive until 5:00pm. Very Hot day. They had some issues. Technically finished on time (6pm), but it was rushed- House was at 88 degrees when we entered. Took hours to finally cool down. Unacceptable first night. Thermostats should have been set to 74-75 for departing guests.- Fridge was turned down completely to 1 (not medium). Then it takes 24 hours until all is recouped. Led to having to dispose of a number of dairy products.- WiFi never actually worked during stay. Cable tech person came, but NEVER really got it fixed.-Reverse osmosis kitchen faucet took 24 hours to get working even after filter was changed.-Water smells and it turned towels and clothes brown (found oil Wednesday). This was the WORST ISSUE and I am sure you will continue to hear it from future guests. The warning that was left taped to dryer telling about it was not sufficient. Some clothes ruined as well in the washing machines. You really need to get this fixed by owner.Property Management did what they could and were always very polite and trying to be helpful, but although an absolutely ideal setting and location, improvements to at least this water issue needs to be resolved.

Received a text confirming that our house was ready, arrived at the property only to find the house was not ready, not cleaned, no linens, which I paid for, we had to call the service manager who was very dismissive. Then the water heater broke and spoke with a very rude property manager by the name of Blythe. Wants we got through all that we enjoyed our stay.

A great getaway

This is a fantastic spot for multiple families. The amenities are wonderful and the location is perfect if you are looking for a quiet retreat. You need to bring your own drinking water, as even the filtered water has a lot of iron and is salty. We will come again.

Not exactly what we expected

Reviewer Comments: I was told I would receive a text allowing us to go to property after it was cleaned. That didn’t happen. Took it upon ourself to go there at 6. Front door was open. Which turned out to be a good thing because code would not work. Had to call to have it set. Told beds would be made for our arrival. Linens were left outside in bins for us to do. If it were just adults the place was ok but not for kids. Have to drive for everything. Won’t stay there again.

House is in the marsh land and on well water

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is run on well water, which was not stated . Our pool was dark brown , called realitor said it would clear up in few days and it was safe :( not what I expected . Second dsy they came out fixed pool . The first floor shower does not drain . There is soft spots in the floor , be careful as you walk. Very low water pressure. All 3 trash cans puked over w beer cans no liners. Called relaitor back they sent done one out to get most of the trash .Floors creak on top floor . They neglect to tell you the boat ramp is for the local crabbers. The pictures are outdated , and there are a couple boats that look sunk when you look to the ramp ,it’s marsh land. Our boat motor kept getting seaweed to the pint we couldn’t go anywhere til blades were cleaned. Ended up driving to Rodanthe toPut our boat in after that . This was supposed to be a graduation gift for my son who just finished college. We had 8 of us. The weather didn’t cooperate w our plans. Good pint. Kitchen fully loaded indoor screened porch ,loaded w board games to play. Overall if you like marsh land and want a get away / w not e or ting yo use pool or hot tub or have a good shower not feeling slimy after showering - Msybe this is the place for you . Very disappointed it wasn’t ready ,pool was disgusting looking , trash cans overflowing , fishing in the marsh was non existent ! Couldn’t use kayaks or paddle boards. Marsh land covered inSeaweed. Beds were very uncomfortable and lopsided. Need updated ! Very disappointed :(
