“Just OK”

“The difference between something good and something great is attention to detail.” For a 35 year old home, Bear Inn is good but needs some “attention to detail”. Overall we enjoyed our two week stay but we arrived to find the ice maker not working and several light bulbs missing. At dusk we discovered the gazebo lights and the carport lights were out as well (very dark on the street side for walking dogs). The “legs” of several pieces of furniture were about to fall off which could potentially cause injury to guests. All of these issues were reported to Beach Realty. On the positive side, there is a great gas grill (advertised as charcoal) and the beds were super comfy. We did see the wild horses on several occasions which is always delightful. As an FYI for those who love to cook, bring knives and skillets - all of the knives were dull and the skillets scratched and warped (due to pass guests’ disregard for property - I purchased some cheap non-stick skillets and left them in the house). We would not choose to rent this property again but it is still a good property.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your candid review of our beach rental, Bear Inn OBX.

A little background, we recently purchased Bear Inn in late August of 2022. That Saturday, “turnover day”, we spent the four hours that we had access to our new home taking inventory of everything we felt was needed, or wasn’t up to our own personal standards. Many of the things you noted in your review were also on our list and more (knives, skillets (thank you very much for your contribution), sheets, bedding, throw pillows, sleeping pillows, carpets, etc). Unfortunately, due to rental bookings scheduled prior to our ownership, we were unable to gain access to our new home again until mid October when we closed for the season.

We’ve spent the last few weeks at Bear Inn OBX emptying the house and going over every single piece of furniture, sheets, bedding, silverware, cleaning every corner, replacing every light bulb (even the cooktop hood lights) and we’re still making more lists. Our projects will continue until next rental season to assure the highest quality experience that we can provide for our guests.

Unfortunately, some of the items you noted (under house lighting, gazebo lighting, furniture repair, etc) required a contractor’s touch, which can be difficult to schedule during the rental season. That said, we’ve fixed just about everything on our list, including the lighting you noted both beneath the house and to the gazebo. We’re so sorry that our home didn’t live up to your expectations, but we’re confident that your experience will be better next year if you choose to book with us again.

Thanks for your grace and understanding!

Great memories made

Absolutely loved this vacation spot. The house is perfectly set up and stocked. The gazebo was a favorite spot for meals and sunrises. There were horses all around us and came in our yard on our last day. This is a vacation that my granddaughter will remember for a lifetime. The 4x4 beach was challenging at times but added a sense of adventure and fun that we all enjoyed. Thanks for the memories!

Our home away from home

We have stayed in this home multiple times and it’s definitely our favorite! It is perfect for us. We enjoy the homes layout and the walkway to the beach. Kitchen is well stocked. Beds super comfy. Horses normally daily however this visit with the new build next door, not so much. We will be returning again to our home away from home!

Manager's Response

Thank you Jamie for your feedback. Bear Inn is truly a breathtaking property and we are glad you and your family have made it your home away from home.

Beautiful Beachfront Rental

We had an amazing time at the Bear Inn. The house was very cleaned and pretty well stocked. The grill was a little wonky, and we had a bit of a problem grilling meals, but otherwise everything was great! We saw the wild horses and spent every day on the beach! A wonderful vacation and we definitely hope to come back.

Bear Inn Carova Beach

Love this little place. Cozy and clean and sits right on the beach. Comfortable for four to six adults and dog friendly. The walkway and gazebo are a special treat. Spend some time on the gazebo on your first night, in order to get physically, mentally and emotionally oriented for your stay.

A family 1st at OBX

Great memories were made at Bear Inn! Saw lots of wild horses, dolphins, and a rainbow. Great location. Only complaint was dog hairs on pillows, beds, bedding, furniture and trundles required that we sweep the entire home upon arrival. Had to do some bedding laundry too when we arrived due to dog hairs.

Manager's Response

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the home and your time in the Outer Banks. We apologize that the housekeeping missed the mark and will address this with our team. We hope to welcome you back to the beach as our guest for another memorable vacation!

Third time at Bear Inn! We love this home! Already booked again for next October! Was sad when we thought you had stopped renting it and then found it with Beach Realty. It is perfect for us and our four legged child. Love the walkway to the beach. Kitchen is perfectly stocked. Bedrooms are beautifully designed and comfortable! Wouldn’t change or recommend a thing! We will be spending our honeymoon there in one year! And plan to continue to come back yearly to celebrate every anniversary! ❤️

Manager's Response

Jamie, congratulations on your upcoming wedding! We are thrilled to be a part of those lasting memories and look forward to welcoming you to Bear Inn for your honeymoon! It is such a wonderful home, we definitely agree, not a thing should be changed. See you next year!

October 2020 Stay

We love this cottage. Our second time staying in Bear Inn. The house is so well stocked, the owners have thought of ever thing. The home was and has always been extremely clean. There was a slight issue this stay with the bottom step of the boardwalk where the last step was missing. Caused some difficultly stepping down and nails were exposed. Other than that everything was perfect.

Wow! what a beautiful home and location! The home was very clean and was everything it was advertised to be. Our favorite spot was the gazebo. We stayed out there almost everyday watching the ocean and the horses. The nighttime was beautiful with all the stars in the sky. We have been staying in the Carova Beach area for several years and I have to say this home is our favorite place!

The owner takes pride in providing their guests the best experience and I am sure they will love to hear that you had everything you needed.
