The house was perfect & Beach Realty was equally as great!

The stay at The Life of Riley was great! The service and the prompt responses from Beach Realty was equally as great! From the beginning Beach Realty made the entire process so easy. Very tech savvy. The payment process was easily explained and exactly what was expected down to an app you download with all the information needed all the way to the keyless code entry the day of arrival and messages with reminder notes as in when trash day was and simple reminders and recommendations for anything needed. We had also rented a golf cart from Ocean Atlantic Rentals as they recommended and that also was a great experience and a perfect addition. The location was close to a lot that we could drive to in the cart. The weather over the two weeks we were there was “hit or miss”. Had plenty of days by the pool and many nights in the hot tub. Not quite a beach day weather during our two weeks through (in mid May). Overall, the house was beautiful and we all had a great stay. We celebrated our parents 50th anniversary and it was just perfect. I would totally recommended this home as a rental for a big family and even more Beach Realty with their exceptional service throughout it all.

Family Time at Life of Riley

This was our first time at this house. We loved it. There were 11 of us - our entire immediate family. Ages 11 - 70. The house provided everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked. Loved the breakfast nook. Large table in dining room accommodated everyone. Plenty of bathrooms. Best part was the pool. We spent so much time there - very enjoyable. We are ready to go back again.

Fun OBX Getaway

Overall it was a great experience. The condo is just a 2 minute walk from the beach and really close to a lot of attractions. We golfed, went jet skiing, putt putt, shopping, and was all within a 10-15 minute drive.

The only bad things were that the ice machine upstairs quit working. We used the ice cube trays provided to make ice. Also,the fridge downstairs wasn’t cooling either when we got there. We had to unplug it, wait several hours for the line to thaw then plug it back in. Worked fine after that.

Other than those minor inconveniences we had a great trip and would definitely rent again.

Great home for multi family beach vacations

We traveled with 4 families and this house could not have worked out any better. More than enough room. Loved having multiple fridges. The kids loved having all the games and pool toys. Such a close walk to the beach. Looking forward to visiting again.

Manager's Response

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the home and your time in the Outer Banks. We look forward to welcoming you back to the beach!

Fun at the Outer Banks

We had a great time at the Outer Banks in June. The Life of Riley is a well maintained property with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The property is a short distance from the beach, grocery stores, and Jockey Ridge.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are happy to hear that the home met your expectations and you enjoyed your vacation! We look forward to welcoming you back to the beach as our guest!

Its mostly a good life

The house was great except for some minor issues. The house was pretty clean upon arrival but could have been better. Unfortunately multiple deck chairs and the indoor recliner were damaged. The sliding doors did not seal well making it very noisy during any weather.

Manager's Response

Hi Ryan, thank you so much for your review regarding your stay at Life of Riley. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at the lovely well maintained house. It has every amenity a family on vacation could need, and it is just a super short stroll to the beach. We are sorry you experienced a few minor issues during your stay. I can report the chairs have been disposed of and new ones have been added. These houses can see a lot of use through the year and the outdoor furniture is always the first to go. The owner also went through the home top to bottom trying to find where wind was entering and they could not find an issue. We truly appreciate you reporting these findings as it is user reviews such as these that helps us improve guest satisfaction. We sincerely hope to see you at the beach again soon with Beach Realty!

Very nice house, close to beach.

The house was very nice. It had everything you would need to spend a week of relaxing. It was a 5 min walk to the beach which was nice except you had to go over the sand dunes but it was still nice to be so close. We had no issues. I would recommend this house.

Blue house with the pink door

My entire family enjoyed our stay in this house. My grandchildren loved calling it the blue house with the pink door. The swimming pool and hot tub really added to our experience. The house was spacious and comfortable. It was conveniently located near the beach. It was the first time for all of us to visit the outer banks. It's a beautiful area. We'll definitely come back. We enjoyed the Hatteras lighthouse, the aquarium and the kids definitely loved the water park.

Definitely a place we will visit again

This was our first vacation in 6 years and this home was everything we could have wanted and more. From making the reservation to our departure it was a wonderful experience. The home was extremely clean, close to everything we were interested in doing during our stay, and our children were very entertained with the games, pool,etc. That the rental had to offer. We will definitely stay here for future visits to Nags Head and would recommend to anyone in the future looking to vacation there.

Great Vacation

The house was the nicest, cleanest beach house we've ever stayed in. Ridiculously well-stocked in a great location, neighboring houses are mostly art galleries and others are far enough away that noise isn't an issue.

The walk to the beach wasn't as bad as we had predicted. We had three toddlers, two babies, and two retirees with us and no one complained about the beach dune access. It's less than a five minute walk and completely doable, not to mention that area of the beach was not crowded at all.

We had an issue with linens being delivered that we didn't request, and Beach Realty resolved the whole thing in one phone call in about ten minutes. I really appreciated how well they run things.

Being able to use the keyless entry to avoid driving to the rental place was awesome as well. All in all, the dozen of us who stayed there all agree that we will definitely be back. Great vacation home. The pictures online don't do it justice, it's even better than it looks.

Manager's Response

Thank you for taking the time and leaving us such a wonderful review. We are glad that you and your family loved Ann's Dream, and the owner will be pleased to learn of your high praise. We hope to see you and your family again soon!

Beautiful Home and Great Location!

This is a fantastic home and very comfortable for our group which included six teens. The kitchen was small but well stocked. The bedrooms and common areas worked out well with plenty of room to stretch out. Tons of games and books! The pool was nice with a enough lounge chairs. The walk to the beach was only a few minutes. We had to bring our own beach chairs and umbrellas, they were not provided. There were several ice cream shops and restaurants within walking distance. I would rent this property again!

had a great time

Anne's Dream was a great place for our family vacation. The house was spacious, appeared as expected, was well stocked and in a good location.

pros
-well stocked kitchen
-short walk to the beach
-lots of games, books and things to do on a rainy day
-we used the pool and hot tub daily
-maintenance issues were dealt with promptly
-lots of beach equipment
-gas grill
-table top icemaker that made small amts of ice continuously
-loved the large dining table
-back deck with hammock and porch swing

cons
-the closest public beach access required climbing over a rather large sand dune via a narrow path; there was no board walk or steps and no shower; this turned into a big negative for everyone and could be a deal breaker for someone with heart problems or limited endurance
-on arrival a toilet was broken and 2 showers did not drain; the maintenance man fixed these promptly but another toilet broke later in the week
-many complaints about the uncomfortable mattresses
-the refrigerator was placed in an awkward place which prevented the freezer door from opening all the way and limited access to the freezer
-the grass was overgrown on arrival and wasn't cut until mid week
-the spa service guy showed up at 0600 sat morning on our departure day and, being the hot tub was right outside my window, nearly gave me a heart attack thinking someone was trying to break into the house; a notice that he was going to show up early would have been nice
-when we picked up the key at the realty office the office staff were pretty rude; recommend a keyless entry to avoid this inconvenience
