Awesome time at the Good Life!

It was the 4th time staying at the Good Life. Love the location and the house! We were a party of 13 and the dogs and had a wonderful time! Kitchen is well stocked! It was too cool too use the pool this time, but the hot tub was really nice! Would recommend the Good Life! We went on the Wild Horse Adventure tour, and saw lots of horses and two babies. Went on the Magic Bus and saw 8 bears! Went to Dirty Dicks and Jolly Rogers for dinner! Can't wait to stay here again in the future!

Manager's Response

Sandra, Thank you for taking time to leave a 5 star review. We are glad you and your family enjoyed your stay on the Outer Banks. We strive to deliver a great guest experience, and hope that you will continue to vacation with us for many years to come. See you on the Beach!

La Buena Vida indeed

We were the first of our party to arrive and we delighted to discover no one still cleaning up at 4 pm and the combination sent us by Beach Realty opened the door right up. The elevator got us and luggage upstairs and we settled in on the top floor which offers a wonderful view of the ocean, dunes, a local pier and a huge vista of sky. Lots of windows and lots of porch and deck space with plenty of chairs. The living area provides seating for even large groups (we had only seven people). The kitchen is well equipped, with two refrigerators, two stoves, two microwaves and even an air fryer. Rooms were comfortable and beds were just firm enough for a great night’s sleep. All had bath, shower or a combination. The game/recreation area on the lower floor offered pool, fussball, tv and dvd viewing. Also another refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave. Swimming pool was already warmed. Everyone in our group commented on how comfortable the home was. House was clean and the Wi-Fi worked well. While we like trying different places, this would be a home we’d recommend and would happily return to.

Was there a downside? We are all wine drinkers and found the plastic wine glasses deprived us of some of the pleasure of drinking a good bottle. Some of the sliding doors were very difficult to open and would benefit from lubrication. We didn’t watch tv but would have appreciated regular cable or satellite service instead of ROKU on all sets. HINT: If you’re a tv watcher, bring your Prime and Yahoo passwords.

Manager's Response

Rick, We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us a 5-Star review! We take pride in knowing our guest are happy with their experience. We will have housekeeping look into getting wine glasses and a work order to have the sliders looked at. Reagrding the TV, they all can get cable through the providers app. If you do have any isues, give Beach a call and we will help. See you on the Beach!

Over all A Wonderful Vacation

This was our 3rd time staying at the Good Life! A few little things that we noticed, the Pool Table couldn't be used, as a couple of the pockets were not there. The foosball table wasn't usable, because one the rods wasn't working correctly. It hasn't been usable on any of our stays. Because the beds are high in some of rooms, one of our party, was hoping they would put a chair in the room. Also, no way to control the speed of the fan in one the 2nd level bedrooms. All and all, it was a wonderful time at the Good Life. Upon checking into the house, we were able to meet the house Owner. She is very pleasant, and really liked our Shelties! My favorite house in OBX!

Manager's Response

Thank you Sandra for your feedback! We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay in The Good Life, and that you were able to meet Julie! She is the best and we are happy to have her in our program! She reads these reviews and is always making updates based on the feedback she receives from generous guests like you. Since your stay a new foosball table has been added and the pool table pockets have been repaired.

Everyone loved the pool and hot tub. The views were beautiful. We loved being beach front and lucked out with the weather. We would recommend and definitely stay again.

Another awesome vacation at the Good Life!

We had the most awesome two weeks at the Good Life. They added a baby gate across the stairs, and it worked wonderful. Adding the screen door on the porch was great! I do wish they could get grass in the dog play area, as our dogs won't potty on the rocks. Our favorite place for a vacation! Can't wait to stay there again! Everybody in our party, just had a wonderful time at the Good Life!

Manager's Response

Hi, Sandra. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your suggestion with the dog play area. We have since removed the rocks.

The pool area was an open bar set up and desserts were served on the 3rd level. You can't beat the number of restrooms, either, 8 full and 2 half!

Beautiful Views; Excellent Vacation

We come to the Outer Banks at least once a year. This was by far the largest home we have ever rented. The home is nice, spacious, plenty of room for a large group. Having a bathroom with every bedroom is AMAZING! It's nice to have the startup necessities when we arrive (paper towels, toilet paper and soap). Loved having the bed linens and towels included, definitely saves travel space. Pool was Awesome! Hot tub was nice. We love to the huge kitchen was great...however, the lack of kitchen pots and pans (no small saucepans in the entire house)and kitchen gadgets was a little disappointing. Some people may come to the beach and never we can see how it may not be as important to some as it is to others. Beautiful home, great amenities and ocean views/access! Would definitely consider renting again in the future! Thanks for sharing your home with us for our stay!

Thank you for your review of The Good Life(La Buena Vida)! I will be passing along your feedback in regard to pots/pans to see that this is addressed.

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!

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!

Awesome week long vacation

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.

Manager's Response

Thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback regarding your recent stay at "The Good Life" 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! Update: A NEW Hot Tub has been installed. The owner has addressed your recommendations for kitchen equipment, as well. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

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.

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.

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.

A wonderful Good Life

Great location, Wonderful cottage, only the living room sofa was uncomfortable and needed a good cleaning or replacement. All other furnishings very nice and the master bedroom bed was very comfortable. Is there a perfect cottage, no, but the Good Life comes close.

Anniversary Getaway

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!

Hi John! Thank you for leaving a review of your stay! We are glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed The Good Life! Bike week can be quite loud, we very much agree, but happy to hear you didn't let it effect your vacation. Hope to see you again soon for a little taste of 'The Good Life'!
Update: Please note, the owner has addressed the hot tub issue and has installed new one. Living Room Furniture also updated.
