If you're looking for a fancy bougie beach house, this isn't it. However, if you are looking for the perfect place for a family vacation, this is it. My family and I have been renting this house for years. It is a little old and outdated. However, we absolutely LOVE it. It's spacious. The couches are so comfortable, a short walk to the beach. We will continue to rent this property for years to come. The only thing I wish to see in the future is an upgrade of the mattresses.

This was the 2nd year my family has rented surf Rider for our family vacation, we love it! I've already reserved it for next year. It is an older home so if you're expecting perfection look somewhere else. It's a charming family style home with a lot of space great location to the beach and sitting on the porch watching the waves is heaven. It's a larger family size home with space for everyone. My family loves it it's our home away from home. The only thing I would change is softer beds.

The Surf Rider was a decent place to stay. The one thing that’s got it going for itself, is that it is, within a short walking distance to the beach and about a 5–6-minute walk to the nearest restaurant, Fish Head’s. Some things were a bit concerning about the place, such as the deck for one. You need to wear shoes while walking on it, because of nails sticking up and rough boards on the deck, and watch your step walking up the steps. We noticed the top step was lifting. You can’t use the stairs at the back of the house, because they’re blocked off for unforeseen circumstances. The house did have enough room/rooms for my family to stay. We could live with the outdated furniture, but in my opinion, it could use some TLC. When you arrive at the house it’ll leave you scratching your head, wondering how you get in there. There are 5 doors to get into the house, but one door only lets you in. You would think that you would get in from the front deck. Well, wrong. You enter through the master bedroom at the bottom of the house. Secondly, I thought the place was a bit dirty. There were cobwebs/dust on the ceiling fans light fixtures and walls throughout the house. There were holes and stains on the furniture. The pillows and comforter on the beds were dingy, luckily, we brought our stuff. The A/C worked great and kept everyone cool. The WIFI, and appliances in the house worked great. The kitchen fridge was making some noise. Also, make sure you are given the correct keys before you leave check in, with CVR (the rental company), we got to our house after driving almost half an hour from CVR and were handed keys to a different house. The rental company was very cooperative/professional and drove out to our place to give us the correct keys. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable time at the OBX, hopefully, this place gets the TLC it deserves.

Great Beach Getaway!

We had a great stay at the Surf Rider rental in South Nags Head. It is a perfect location and so close to the beach. So nice to have the covered porch and to have so many bedrooms and baths. Only thing that would be helpful is to have a key to the door where the porch is or to the laundry room. You have to go through the bedroom to get into the house so not ideal. But we have rented this place 2 years and have been happy. It is an older home with not many updates which is why the price is more reasonable for a rental so close to the beach. Would love to have a large pot to cook things in and maybe fix the fridge so you could put items in the door. Over all we really enjoyed ourselves and hope to go back again.

The location of the house was perfect, but the house was disappointing. The bedding was old and shabby and did not look like it had been washed in a while. The dishes were questionable and not well organized. The coffee pot did not work and neither did the toaster. None of the Wi-Fi information listed was correct, good thing I had a teenager to figure it out. The house in general needed some updating. In all of our years renting a house for vacation in the Outer Banks this was our worse experience.

The house was clean except the kitchen floor and the oven in the kitchen stove. We had to clean the oven before we baked pizza. It is clean now. The AC units was a little loud but tolerable. We had good access to the beech plenty of room for four adults and two children. Over all we had a great time.

Great location if you love the ocean! The leasing company people were very kind and nice. They addressed our concerns after we read the reviews and called them. The house was as described on the reviews. There are no keys to the front doors. One must enter through the bedroom. There us a narrow path to take you to the stairs to get on the main floor . The house has window AC units and some other ones ( stand up units) which can make a lot of noise. <br/>The photo on the web must be when the house was freshly painted. It needs a new coat of paint. WiFi name and password were different than those on the company’s paper. If you plan to cook yourself make sure to buy/bring everything including coffee filters. There is only salt and pepper available in the house. The closest small grocery store is two miles away so make sure when you shop at Food Lion ( about 4.5 miles away on Croatan Hwy) buy everything there. Restaurants have 1-1.5 hours wait and they close at 8 or 9 pm. The only restaurant within walking distance is one at the nearby fishing pier. Make sure you bring a big cooking pot if you plan to cook big meals.

There are 5 doors into the property and the keys we got only opened one, which happened to be the door into the master bedroom. Called about it(and a wi-fi issue, which they did return a call about but should never have been an issue to begin with) but nothing was ever done about the doors. We lost partial power during our stay, and I guess because it was only partial they didn’t feel it needed to be handled until the following day, but several rooms had no AC during that time. Upon arrival we found a Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup wrapper in our bedroom, and having a child with a peanut allergy this was concerning. The fridge door had missing shelves, things weren’t as clean as you’d expect, however they had clearly steam cleaned the carpets because they were sopping wet for several hours. Mostly minor issues that would normally not warrant a second thought, but when it all comes together it was less than ideal.

A little run down and dirty, owner clearly dosent care about the condition. Physical appearance is rough on the inside and outside. On a good note, plenty of room through out. Nice size bedrooms and large living space with a beautiful deck overlooking the ocean. For the price it's great a little dingier than i expected but you get what you pay for!

This was the perfect house for our extended family. The kids loved the bunk beds. It was the perfect distance from the beach. We do think maybe adding a couple of things to the kitchen like a hand mixer, big pots and pans, and a couple more cutting boards. We loved having two fridges. Very spacious. Also sitting out on the deck was wonderful. Overall I recommend this house to anyone! Thank you Surf Rider for such a wonderful stay.

This house is a true, old OBX beach house. It's location is great. And the price per week can't be beat! You are sacrificing staying in a home that has not been renovated, is mostly outdated, and not spotless; but clean enough. To some people that matters and to others it does not. For us, the house was more than adequate because we spent most of our time at the beach, sleeping, or on the deck. I would highly recommend this house, especially for families with kids and are not super concerned with new ammonites and décor updates.

We had a great week here. Older home and dated, but plenty of room, WiFi worked well, parking under the house in the shade, and the A/C units worked well. Little mildewed smell downstairs. The deck was wonderful, saw the ocean and felt the breeze and it was shaded after 9am. Very close walk to the beach. The kitchen had lots of pots and pans and appliances all worked. Couldn’t find pot holders but that’s it. If you don’t care about dated decor, this place works for the price.

This house was perfect for what we wanted. Maybe a hundred yards and you are on the beach and a great view of the ocean from the covered deck. It is an older home and nothing fancy, but we do not go to the beach to spend a lot of time indoors. The beach is nice and there's plenty to do around the area. The house has two refrigerators which is nice for keeping lots of drinks cold. The window and stand alone ac units kept the house comfortable. We had a great time during our stay and plan to come back again in the near future.

Family late summer vacation. Good location, just a short walk to the beach. Cottage was nice. Was missing a DVD player. Made a call to Carolina Shores Realty, and in no time we had a DVD player delivered and hooked up. Everything was comfortable, and everyone enjoyed the stay. It would help to upgrade some of the kitchen pots/pans/utensils. Had to go out and buy a large saucepan to cook shrimp. We would recommend the Big Blue House by the Sea, and we would certainly go back. Thanks!

overall I thought the house was a good experience. It is old and a little run down but I like the beach house feel. It was not super clean and the furniture is old. I say that to let people know what to expect. The layout is great. The location is great. The price is quite reasonable. I do recommend the house as long as you don't expect new carpet, appliances, and fixtures. Which I didn't.

The house could use updating inside physically and living room furniture updated. Linens provided is and was an added plus!!!! TV with cable in every room was an added plus especially when you come with family members who all want to watch something different!!! The walk to the beach was not far and my Mom who has difficulties getting around was able to walk to the beach. Being able to see the ocean from the deck was great! We had ages 6 to 82 and all where very content!

You definitely get what you pay for with this rental. The outdated fake wood panels and wallpaper I can deal with, as that was obvious in the pictures . Too bad you can't get smells through pictures. Musty smelling, sticky carpeting, and MOLD. We definitely found black mold on one of the pillows, in the toothbrush holders, and at least one shower curtain. I usually don't skeeve out easily, but this is a matter of public health! We mitigated this by simply never being there and taking advantage of the clean sheets. Washer and dryer were in good condition though, no qualms with using them.
