We arrived Sunday , July 21st - there were 15 in our family vacation! The home was beautiful, the space perfect for our group. We had plenty of room to all be together, and room to have alone time or individual family time. The pool was wonderful and being right on the beach is just the best!! We cooked in the house most nights- the 2 refrigerators, 2 microwaves, 2 stove/ ovens in the main kitchen were great. It certainly streamlined breakfasts too!! The TV remote in the 3rd floor living room was temperamental, but we were able to use it. There were some games and puzzles there to use. We didn’t check in until the designated time of 4 pm, but felt the house could have stood a bit more cleaning. I did not go in every bathroom, but top floor master bath the toilet was very dirty. I wondered if it was just stained, and used toilet brush. No, just not cleaned out. On second floor, one bedroom ,an opened packet of muffins was found in the bed near the foot board. In another room a mans g-string underwear was under the bed. For the price, the house could have been cleaned better for sure. The screened porch had no door, so bugs just flew in, the stairs from the pool to the beach need replaced completely. Some steps are dangerous, some wood rails loose, very worn and splintery. Would that cost most than a summer week’s rent to replace?? There were some shards of broken glass near the picnic table on the back porch - my grandson ended up with a piece in his foot. I understand renters are to clean up, but that porch should be swept by cleaning crew. We loved the house and had a great time !! If you’re looking for volleyball as advertised, don’t plan on it- the ball will end up in the road out front or in the driveway. The horseshoes are there if you happen to find them by the dog area- rusted stakes with horse shoes lying near them. I’d suggest just throwing those out and removing from your ad. We only grilled out once due to the high

We had just an awesome time. A couple of small things, like, their isn't an outside door on the porch, which was challenging making sure the dogs didn't run out, when somebody went on the porch. And the laundry ( dirty bedding) was left in the elevator. We called the office, but it didn't end up getting picked up. But as a whole, everything was GREAT! Just love the house and can't wait to rent it again!

For over 25 years I have been coming to the Outer Banks and I honestly believe that this was the nicest property that we have ever stayed in. Beach Reality was a joy to deal with and The Good Life rental lived up to its name. The interior is beautifully decorated and the numerous amenities, (pool, hot tub, and game room) kept everyone busy. The location of this property worked out really well for those heading out to other activities. Thanks so much for a fantastic week.

The house was very spacious and the views were wonderful. Walked the beach every day with my dog. There would be alot more to do and see in warmer weather. It was perfectly located between our two favorite restaurants, The Kill Devil Grill and the Blue Moon Beach Grill and right by the Nags Head fishing pier. I would suggest changing out the pedestal sinks in the bedroom baths for storage vanities so there is room to put your toiletries. There were a few minor things wrong when we arrived but were taken care of in a timely manner by a wonderful staff, especially Josh, the maintenance guy, who took the time to talk to us old folks. And it could've been a little cleaner, but all in all we had a great time.

Response from Beach Realty of North Carolina, Inc.
Thank you for your feedback regarding "The Good Life!" It is hard to beat the ocean views from this amazing rental. Being Oceanfront brings a whole new meaning to vacationing on the Outer Banks. The Kill Devil Grill and Blue Moon are some of the local favs as well! We are thrilled that you had the opportunity to dine at both of them during your stay. We will pass on the suggestion regarding storage vanities to the owner. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Outer Banks in the near future!

Our group of 18 (ages 2-70) stayed in this beautiful home last week. It was fabulous. Location could not be better and the beach was great. The house is very large and all of the beds extremely comfortable. So nice that every bedroom has it's own bathroom. The kitchen is the most well stocked we've seen. The two refrigerators, sinks, ovens, and dishwashers really came in handy. Lots to do within walking distance. The pier restaurant is a must, as is the pizza from the Lucky 12 right across the street. Only a few small maintenance issues which were quickly resolved. I can't say enough about this great property!

This was on my bucket list to do with my kids and grandkids and we had awesome time. The house was perfect and any problem I emailed Elaine at Beach Realty and she would respond quickly and have someone to the house almost immediately to address the request or problem.
We were disappointed the hot tub wasn't able to be repaired until 2 days before we were to leave, and the pool was very cloudy, but that didn't stop the grandsons from having a blast in it. A few things the owners could add to the house would be slow cookers, crockpot and a large pot for seafood boils. Other than that I wish we would have had a few cleaning supplies so we could keep up the glass dining table. Most people don't want to buy this as they wouldn't use much, but if provided would tend to keep things cleaned. Thanks for a great time at this beautiful house. My only suggestion to anyone is to utilize the realtor and email them with any concerns. Otherwise they won't know of a problem. Don't give a bad rating if you have not addressed the problem first and then if it wasn't taken care of reviews can reflect that then.

Response from Beach Realty of North Carolina, Inc.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback regarding your recent stay at "Shore Leave." We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time spent here on the Outer Banks! Elena is an amazing team player and is always willing to go above and beyond to ensure each guest is taken care of. We are sorry to hear about the issues with the hot tub. Unfortunately when these situations arise, we are at the mercy of the vendors and getting parts ordered to rectify the issue. We appreciate the advice you have shared with other vacationers! We hope to welcome you back to the Outer Banks again in the near future!

Very nice home. Great views, good location. The linens that were supplied when we arrived were not packaged and in poor condition. There were 3 Refrigerators, and only 1 had the water supply on to make ice! The pool was not heated, even after the pool guy showed up to work on it. The elevator was a blessing, made it so much easier with luggage and groceries. We had great time and will definitely be back. Thanks to Beach Reality!!!

My husband and I enjoyed a fantastic vacation at The Good Life (La Buena Vida.) It is a beautiful house with priceless unobstructed views of the ocean. My only complaint would be that the view out of the front window is not quite as picturesque, as it is located on the Beach Road directly across from a bar. Unknowingly, we booked our vacation during Bike Week in Nags Head. The bar seemed to be the most popular destination spot for the Bike Week crowd. It did not ruin our stay by any means, but all those bikes revving their engines at the same time can get pretty noisy. Vroom! Vroom! Needless to say, if you're looking for a relaxing getaway just be aware of the events going on in the area before booking your stay. The pool was fantastic, the hot tub was steamy (although the jets were not very powerful), and the house was very clean. I usually feel the need to disinfect everything when I go on vacation and that was not the case with this house. This is a great property and I would highly recommend it to anyone going on an adultcation or a trip with the whole family. Lots of fun amentities to keep the grown ups and the kids entertained!
