We've rented this house for many summers - it's well laid out, has unfussy furnishings and lots of windows to enjoy the ocean views.

Wonderful house with great views of the ocean. The beach is nice and wide. We saw several deer in the dune behind the house. We liked the small table in the middle of the main floor for games.

We absolutely loved our stay!! The house is great, with beautiful views!! The king bed is very hard,and we didn't get good rest. A new mattress is the only thing this home needs,everything else was great,and we look forward to our next trip down!!

This house is oceanfront and very easy access to the beach. It is near stores and shops which makes it convenient. The house is "older" but comfortable. We loved the living area and ability to all sit comfortably and the view was perfect. Local Guest SErvices took care immediately of a few minor issues with house when we checked in. We will definitely come back here

1. Upon arrival at 4 pm, 4/2/22, we found the place was not touched between rentals. It took four different calls to 3 different phone numbers to get an emergency cleaning team to show up. We cleaned the refrigerator/freezer ourselves so that our food did not go bad. 2.We got locked out of the house two days after arrival because the coded lock system had a dead battery. Help arrived in the form of Ice, a gentleman from North Macedonia who replaced the battery, fixed the dishwasher, brought us a loaner vacuum cleaner and painted a white line to highlight a hazard on an outside walkway. I also showed Ice the location where feral pigeons had moved in the house ceiling because of a missing soffit. Ice was very professional and refused to take a tip from me say that he was doing his job. To summarize, great place but not so great rental management.

House was spacious with a great location on the beach. However, it is in need of cosmetic updating. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay very much.

The pictures are deceiving. This property needs a lot of TLC and could use some updating. First we were told via email that check-in was 4p but when we arrived into town in the pouring rain we received a text that the house would not be ready until 6p. This started off the stay on the wrong foot. Overall the house was tidy but there was a good amount of black mold (HVAC vents, ceiling, etc.) and dirty filters, and having a high mold allergy, I knew what to expect for the week. Being a Property Manager for 23 years I would not represent this property (if in fact it is the owners that refuse to repair and maintain it). Needless to say the doors and windows remained open for the duration of our stay. The attention to detail was lacking. The master bath had a TP holder on the wall but no spring loaded tube to hold the TP (you know you can buy one at the Dollar store). The hot tub did not function properly (likely the age) and was a bacteria pool. Also having one of these at home, I know the need for balanced chemicals and the health hazards if not properly maintained. The view and beach access was spectacular and that made it bearable. The master bed was not comfortable and we ended up sleeping on the couches in the living room. This could be an amazing high-income rental if the owner invested a bit to bring it up to date. It was quiet and had all the basic essentials we needed. I liked that they provided linens and towels and first rental I have ever had that provided TP!

Very large and open house! Location, amenities and layout met all our expectations and needs. Upon check-in, Vacasa requested input on the cleanliness of the house. So immediately I went into inspection mode which is why I gave this house a 4. Dog hair was left on furniture, carpet has stains, and floors need to be mopped. I spilled water on the floor and wiped it up with a paper towel and alot of dirt came up with it. Maintenance needs to be done on the dishwasher as it is not cleaning dishes properly. Hot tub jets are at low pressure. Sliding doors need to be adjusted as some slide freely and others are stuck. Sliding door screen needs repair. Master bedroom drapery has mold at the bottom. All ceiling fans need proper cleaning. The vents need cleaning as they appear to be moldy or rusty. Impressed with the central vacuum! Will definitely stay here again because amenities and location are perfect! Plus, Deer walk on the sand dunes each morning!

We just returned from our 4th stay at Kenmare. We love its location, just a short walk to a quiet beach. The three story house offers a large living area on the top floor with room for any size family. The master suite on the third level offers a magnificent view from a private deck. The first floor has three bedrooms as well as two baths and a laundry room. We could not ask for more. The kitchen is well equipped and hosts a new oven and microwave this year. A wonderful deck across the back of the living area provided plenty of space for our family and dog.

The beach is gorgeous in this part of Avon. The home is well laid out for group time on the main level & has an awesome master suite on the third level. The negatives are poor quality bedding/ furniture in 2 of the lower bedrooms. Needs updating, but a comfortable house overall.

we have been vacationing in the outer banks for over 15 years. this house was unpretentious and functionally perfect for our small family and two small doodles. it was however overpriced for numerous reasons: medium-worn finish, age of facilities (hot tub, showers), had about 6 encounters with giant flying roaches ('palmetto bugs'), very slim accessories (pots, pans, utensils, games, etc). no beach chairs. no hammock. deck furniture is worn pvc, thus not comfortable. recommend at least two adirondack chairs or something comfortable at this price point. central audio is ancient no bluetooth audio. who brings cd's or listens exclusively to i heart radio? we were provided toilet paper, hand soap and washing machine soap which was greatly appreciated. nice home, but in a 'normal market' this home should rent for about 25-30% less.

This house feels like home. The setup, on three floors, works well for our little family. There is space for together time with space for adults upstairs and young ones downstairs. The huge deck on the living level provides an immense space to relax and ocean watch. We just reserved this house for our fourth stay, in 2022.
