Was nice!<br/>One thing I forgot to mention is the boarded walkway to the beach and is in pieces (4) going over the dune, cut my toe on edge under sand. Would be easier walking on the boarded walkway if it was together. Thanks

It was a great location. The pictures of the living space don't match what it looks like, we had no clue what to do during the hurricane, only 1 TV worked in the living room that was way too small. Cable was out in bedroom, no tv in double bed room, and roku didn't work in other bedroom, great outdoor shower, although near a couple larger condos it was quiet and peaceful. The mattresses were not comfortable at all. my son slept on the couch and we woke up sore every morning. It was worth it overall being on the beach, but when expectations of prior rentals are high it was a little disappointing we didn't have space for everyone to be in one room when photos show this big space when it was tiny tiny. If their wasn't a hurricane the living room space wouldn't have been as important.

We loved this house. We stayed for 5 weeks and are coming back! It was perfect for our 5 week stay with various family and friends coming down for a visit. The top deck is awesome for watching the ocean and hearing the waves. The only issue is the rental company which told me I would have to pay to have them come clean mid rental. we paid the same rate every week as the weekly rentals and should have been allowed at least one cleaning. Not stopping us from coming back though!!! So refreshing that this little gem remains unchanged except for modern updates!

I paid for and trusted that there would be 2.5 bathrooms enclosed in the main house for me and my children to comfortably shower and spread out. The second full bath was not connected to the main house and required us to unlock a separate door under the house. It was uncomfortable, inconvenient and unsafe for my kids and I to be apart in essentially two different homes. Four people had to share 1 shower for the week. The house is very old and is uncomfortably humid even when the temperature is only reaching lower 80s. A rate adjustment was not made by the owner when requested.

The house has charm and it is amazing. There is a few small issues. One being the walkway to the beach. The first two pictures are not what we had. If you are older and disabled getting to the top is like facing the sands of Iwo Jima. The second thing is the roach problem. It’s great on a rainy day bringing the family together tryin to get them little suckers.

We had a great stay. The second bedroom upstairs didn't have a tv which disappointed the kids but in all we loved the rental. Beautiful old style house with a fantastic view from the balcony. You can see the dolphins swimming while enjoying a cup of coffee in the mornings.

The location was excellent. The house itself was rustic in keeping with the original look of old Outer Banks. There are some maintenance issues. The decking should probably be replaced and the 4th bedroom is not connected to the rest of the house so we didn’t use it.
Dear Julia
Thank you for the wonderful review of SEA CHANTY! This is certainly a classic Outer Banks beach home and we are so happy you had a great time.
See you next year!

This house is right on the beach which is nice but it's lacking several things that would make it a nice place stay and the layout is odd. The 4th bedroom and laundry (+one bathroom) are actually separate from the rest of the house. The room that is separate looks like it would be a cute kids room with two twin beds but we wouldn't want our kids to sleep without access to us in the rest of the house so that bedroom was useless. Also, there no outdoor table or coffee maker (just a keurig which was not ideal for a week). Oh and there's a large party house next door. Would not stay here again...
Dear Jan
Thank you for taking the time to review SEA CHANTY. We are very happy you enjoyed your stay at this oceanfront home and look to see you again.
We will definitely share your concerns about a non-Keurig coffee maker and not having an outdoor table with the homeowners.

Disappointed with beach access, steps would make access easier. We took my 85 year old Mom there thinking she could walk to the beach, disappointed that didn't happen. Enjoyed the old beach cottage feel of this home and the furnishing were fine with the exception of the beds. I know mattresses can be expensive but a great mattress and good nights sleep is the one thing that would bring us back, also a king would be nice and they do have room for one! We were surprised the second bath could not be accessed from the cottage, had to go outside. We did enjoy the outdoor shower! With all the growth in this area, hoping the owner does not join in and tear down this little gem!

As a child, I spent many late summer days on the Outer Banks with my father. Long days on the beach and sound side fishing with the occasional day trip by boat to the Gulf Stream. My son and daughter we blessed to have the Outer Banks experience in their youth, as well, when I had the chance. <br/><br/>I wanted to share that simple, beautiful experience with my grandsons who are 1 and 3.<br/>When we arrived at the Sea Shanty, my daughter and I almost cried at the AMAZING architecture of the home and how it has been preserved so carefully since 1938. PERFECT!!! <br/>The juniper wood beams, walls, and ceilings hail from a time where things were made to last. <br/>The owners have made upgrades with wifi, TVs, air conditioning, washer, dryer, and a dishwasher. However, they did so while still maintaining the integrity of an old school beach house. <br/>The private access to the beach makes the walk out to the beach easy. Also, having the private beach front assured that we always had a place for our beach gear everyday.<br/>The downstairs outside shower made it convenient to wash the sand off of us and the children before going upstairs to the main house.<br/>We chose the room at the top of the stairs with the sliding glass doors, as it has a balcony that faces due east and makes sunrise over the Atlantic spectacular- while lounging with your coffee. <br/>Every detail for a beach adventure was considered by our hosts. <br/>We cannot thank our hosts for keeping this "real" and not caving into the pressures of people who would prefer cookie cutter condos with the same ole sheetrock and duldrum.<br/>We LOVE the Sea Shanty and will return very soon. <br/>We HIGHLY recommend this property for those who wish to experience the Outer Banks as it has been since 1938. <br/>

The Sea Chanty was the perfect base directly on the beach to share the Outer Banks of my childhood with my young family. We enjoyed cool breezes on the multiple porches during a very hot and sunny week, and relished in the outdoor shower for washing off the day’s sand and sunscreen. House has plenty of amenities but we didn’t even touch the cable TV. Great to have on-site laundry, fully equipped kitchen. Location close to Gorgeous Publix and walking distance to some restaurants can’t be beat.

We just came back from our stay at this property. While we loved the beachfront location, the house itself and the customer service provided by the agency had left much to be desired.<br/>1) There was a number fees which took us by surprise (e.g. $29.99 for a credit card fee, every time they run your card!) this is a sizable fee, especially when they asked for two payments, so that was $60 just for using a credit card, which allows the realty to have money right away instead of waiting for a check by mail...sounds a bit unfair. They also charged us for damage insurance which we did not select on our contract, when we asked about this they said, "ok we can refund the money" but then we will have to charge you a deposit of $500, and yes that will include another $29.99 credit card fee!! How ridiculous! For early check in or late check out they also had fees in the 100s of dollars, a first I have experienced! They also had two processing fees!<br/>2) The house itself, while yes the location is awesome, is old and outdated: There are no sheets and some pillows had mold on them! The mattresses are covered with plastic mattress protectors, which crackle every time you move. We ended up taking them off so we can get some sleep. Blankets are thin and sparse.<br/>The floors in the downstairs bedroom had spiderwebs, bugs, sand, and the room did not feel clean. We had to sweep it ourself once we arrived. The deck needs some repairs) nails coming out and splinter danger (we had kids running around barefoot and this made me nervous!). Moreover there are some rotten through boards on the upper deck (of the main floor) which need to be replaced, as well as some boards for the beach walkway could use some repair. Overall the furniture and house itself needs to be updated and can use some TLC.<br/>Bottom line, the location was awesome, the house's functionality is good, but quality, cleanliness, and customer service have ways to go. We probably will not rent this property again.

There were many items needed. The staff was not your southern hospitality. I asked several days before heading down to the house if the items were corrected and never got a reply. when showed up for key, we were brushed off and seemed nothing was going to be done. said to call after we check into the home. i asked to speak to manager. Spoke to John. John was very helpful. Once we entered house there were other issues and John came to the house to see for himself. He called in cleaning crew and maintenance crew. Most items were taken care of. This is a Beach front house rental. Cant be perfect but some of the items needed to be taken care of. later in the week maintenance came again to continue some if the issues. John kept his word and did the right thing. We enjoyed our stay.. Thank you John! And for the record, John is professional. The people over the counter was not so much.

We had a wonderful vacation but our property was very old. There was no bathroom on the main floor except in the master bedroom. This house needed a lot of maintenance work. The carpet was old and dingy. The outdoor showers could not be used . The best part about this property was location but the walk way to the beach only went half way making it extremely difficult to walk to the beach.

This house has a lot of potential but needs some serious TLC. The deck on the front porch by screened in porch was about to fall down. The deck boards all over the deck have nails popping up everywhere we had to buy a hammer to keep from catching your feet on them. The shower in the bathroom on the main floor leaks into the downstairs laundry/bedroom area. The queen bedroom upstairs had a roof leak that had been there for awhile since there was mold growing on the ceiling. If they would put a little money into fixing this place up and update it, it would be an awesome house. The location of this house is amazing the best part of the beach around us. However, I wouldn't rent it again just because the house has too many issues. We knew it was an older house, but the pictures are a little deceiving. Also it was very inconvenient that the only bathroom on the main floor is in the bedroom, and this is also the only bathroom inside the main house that has a shower. The other bathroom with a shower is downstairs and that isn't a private bathroom since you have no dividing walls from the laundry area and the door to it is also the door to the outside.

The home was in a beautiful location with basically a private beach. All necessary amenities were present and the home was well kept. The decks were wonderful, offering various views of the sunrise and sunset. We enjoyed our family vacation at this location. The only drawback would be the coldness of the downstairs individual unit. Bring several blankets, or possibly even a space heater, as it is necessary to keep the AC high to heat the upstairs bedrooms.

Home is nice and well maintained. The authentic wood work is amazing. A/C was a little taxed as we were there on the hottest days of the year, so I bought two window units to help keep things cool.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the Outer Banks in the near future.
