Our recent stay in Hatteras had several highlights and a few drawbacks. The location was perfect for a peaceful getaway, allowing us to escape from it all. We loved the open upstairs floor plan and the large deck, which was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view. The hot tub was a fantastic addition to our stay, and the large single bowl kitchen sink was very convenient. Additionally, the house had numerous sticker labels pointing out the locations of various items, which we found to be a very helpful idea.
However, there were several issues that detracted from our experience. Unfortunately, the owner's garage storage was broken into during our stay, and we had to notify Vacasa. The ceiling fan remote switch didn't work, and the house shook significantly whenever someone moved. Palmetto bugs and spiders were quite rampant, even for outdoor enthusiasts like us. The master bath shower curtain had terrible black mold on the bottom, and the hot tub had no bromine pucks in the floater, making us unsure if it was safe for our family. Vacasa wanted to charge us $75 for a service check. The kitchen table chairs were in poor condition, having been fixed multiple times with various hardware. In our opinion, they are unsafe and need to be replaced. The fit and finish of everything in the house was subpar, reflecting a general decline in quality. Additionally, one half of the toaster was broken, and the kitchen faucet pull-down was missing the button and was broken.
