It’s an original “salt box,” style home. The negative: Upon arriving, the carport was full of sand and when we reached to grab a chair to sit outside, all but one in the stack were cracked. The outside shower would have been useful since this house only has one bathroom, however, you would need a shovel and hedge clippers to clear out the sand piled in and foliage growing inside. The inside was not cleaned very well, but we were able to make do. The worst part was the trash under the beds from previous guests. Again, this is on the cleaners and not the house itself. The kitchen is not something we cooked in, as it had a small older stove/oven. The AC units do not keep up, however we are in a significant heat wave right now here. Also, there’s a clothes line, but no washer or dryer.<br/>The positives: We would stay again. We had a great time and it’s the perfect no frills place to hang with friends and family. Maybe we just had a cleaning crew that was tired. Cleaning beach houses is hard work. I’m somewhat local and have done it myself. The location is great. It’s a quiet street. It’s a nostalgic type of house for old beach house lovers. Beautiful wood inside and a coziness to it.

Great stay in a nice little house on the beach

All in all, this little place had everything needed for 3 adults. One of our priorities was easy walk to the beach; this fit the bill 100%.<br/><br/>You need to pick up & drop off physical keys from the rental office, about a half hour away from the house. The office is close to the Wright Memorial Bridge, which may alter your route.<br/><br/>We used 2 of 3 bedrooms. The front bedroom w/ king is the old back porch which has been enclosed. It's large with two chairs, TV, king bed, dresser, and 2 standing a/c units. Kitchen was small but useable. We used stovetop, fridge, microwave, & coffee maker, all in good working order. The house comes with a good supply of plates, glasses, silverware, cooking utensils, pots, pans, and some glass mixing bowls. There is a can and wine opener.<br/>There are no linens in the house at all. The shower is very nice. Note it's quite a step in & out of the tub - larger than normal. All water and plumbing worked just fine. The tv & wifi worked great.<br/><br/>There are 3 stand alone a/c units in the house: 2 in the main bedroom and 1 in the living area. The other 2 bedrooms each have their own window unit. If you don't like white noise, this place may not be for you. It didn't bother us, but note the house is somewhat loud with 5 air conditioners constantly running.<br/><br/>There's no washer / dryer. This is the only reason we didn't immediately book this house again. We travel light & like to do laundry to cut down on packing. We will still consider this house when looking for next summer, but a similar place with a washer / dryer would win out for us.<br/><br/>The outdoor shower is nice. There's a shower head and a hose for getting sand off. We used the little charcoal grill with no problems.<br/><br/>The shining star of this stay was the location. S Nags Head is perfect for getting around. The beach is gorgeous. If you're looking for a no-frills beach stay, this is a great place. Carolina Shores is friendly and great to work with. We'

Checked into the home 04:30pm 08-19. Kitchen was still dirty, food under the stove hood, in the sink. I didn't mention this to management as sometimes cleaners get behind and things get missed. HOWEVER the Master BR has no 1 but 5 YES 5 air conditioners, of which on night 2, one of the 2 large ones quit. Called mgmt. asked if it was okay to use a window unit, they said yes. NOT OKAY, the power breaker kept tripping. We called mgmt, they said they were "Reporting it to Maintenance"...A home burned up and lives were recently lost due to a fire in Kill Devil Hills in a rental home, we weren't staying. Checked into a Motel for the rest of the 5 days of our week. Asked for a 450.00 refund, as we stayed 2 days, were offered $150 by the owner?? When i said no, they recinded that offer with no counter. NUMEROUS CODE VIOLATIONS in this house, should have taken prior reviews seriously but gave the benefit. OUR mistake. Building Inspector and Code Enforcement officer have been contacted.

Was a great location. Great beach with ligegusrd. The house is old and you can tell the owners have not done much work to keep it up. The house cleaners that go in behind the renters did nothing before we got there. We cleaned it up in order to stay because of shortage of reasonable rentals. Was a perfect size for us. Would love to own one that size. No steps to climb. The air condtion is not efficient. Never got under 78. They are not maintained properly. Owner should invest in central. No washer/dryer. Laundry mat very expensive. The living room furniture was nasty.

This is a great location but I called the office after reading some older reviews and was assured things had been addressed. Some were. We didn’t see bugs but the flies at this location were crazy (not CSR problem but an issue trying to eat because there isn’t enough space to eat together inside). The homeowner is not interested in keeping this in family friendly condition. Our grandson was cut on a rusting door. The AC is room by room, main one needs replaced. The appearance of clean was there but we found molding Cheetos under the bed. Linens were clean but had to be rented. Not so much as a K hand towel is there. Or pot holders! This is probably fine for college kids, think Frat house. It is steps to the beach and FatBoyz Ice Cream is up the road and delicious! If I figure out how to post pics of the rusty doors and exterior that really no longer looks like the picture, stained furniture and beds as well, I will. The check in process is ridiculous. You have to go to the rental office to get a key. I own a cleaning company in a mountain resort and clean multi-million dollar homes and they all have exterior lock boxes. This should be a standard. Every renter was at the office at the same time trying to get keys and we were parked on the side of the road causing a dangerous situation on 158. This also meant that although we came in on the S end we had to travel 20 miles N to get a key AND then we had to go 20 miles N to rerun the key and rented beach towels. Sue and Brenda were good about quickly responding to me but communication could have been better. I had a question about check in and was referred to “per your signed rental agreement”. Well I didn’t print it off and bring it and phone service was iffy so getting my email up was iffy. A quick “It’s almost time to check-in to your vacation rental. Here are some reminders about check-in” email would have been wonderful. A company dropped in to replace the

I stayed at a location in the Outer Banks, NC and I have to say it was an AWFUL experience. The house was INFESTED with roaches, spiders, and ants when we got there. The rental office workers did close to nothing and only once was a pest control worker there to spray. We had ongoing problems and the company did NOTHING. We ended up leaving early and had one guest that stayed to return the key. The house itself had major issues, the floors in the bathroom weren’t even nailed/secured down, all the doors were rusted to the point that you had to be careful not to grab the knob or your hand would be cut (like mine). The kitchen floors were water damaged, stained, and coming up at the edges. Nonetheless, the living room and bedrooms were fine and looked exactly like the pictures.

The beach bunker "sea shelter" has 2 positives: location and price. Otherwise, I would not recommend. We arrived to a house with the door wide open and grasshoppers all over inside. The place smelled of mold/urine and was not cleaned. The couch and cushioned chairs all had stains on them and the carpet is long overdue for a replacement. It felt like the bunker had been flooded on a few occasions. The bathroom was decent. In order to cool the house (and remove the moisture smell) you have to run 6 portable AC units. Very loud. Also the exterior could use a power washing and a paint job. <br/>Again, the location and price are great.....

One house from the beach! The pier was within walking distance for fishing & eating. The property is older but the price reflects that. A/c was window units so they were a little loud but they pumped out the cold air! Property management company was available whenever I needed them and very responsive and accommodating. The only somewhat negative thing I can say is the bathroom needs to be cut down about an inch at the bottom because it rubs and is loud and wakes up people when I use it but that's a very minor detail. Overall we were quite happy with the property.

Had a great time and the rental was 100 feet from the beach in a quiet location. The condition of the house left a bit to be desired. It was not particularly clean and the sink,leather couch and carpet should be replaced. Small fixes like new faucet aerators in the outside shower and bathroom and clean fabric couch cushions would have made the stay more pleasant. Overall a good deal and decent place in a great location.
Dear James,

The location is the best part about this rental. Just a few steps and your on the beach. This house was probably the first house built in the area and nothing has been updated since. The kitchen was pretty small. There were only three of us. It was have been very cramped for 8. It clean for the most part. We quickly found out it was very hard to keep the sand outside and the vacuum in the house did not work. I would consider staying again if a few minor updates were made such as new furniture and TVs, and a washer and dryer.
Dear Megan,

A great time was had by all! This little place by the beach is nothing fancy, has no amenities to speak of, and no ocean view but it is clean and cool and very close to the beach, close enough that we didn't even need to take a cooler with us, we could just walk back to the house if we needed something to drink. It has brand new kitchen appliances and pots and pans, but a very small kitchen with little to no counter space. Cooking real meals for a family proved to be difficult. Luckily, the walk to the pier for yummy snacks and drinks was a perfect distance away. We had a couple of problems with the outdoor shower head and the bathroom but someone was there to fix them within a few hours. If you're not an early morning person, bring a sleep mask because the light in the big bedroom is bright! Also, the window cooling units are kinda loud. Overall, if you're looking for fancy or plan on spending a lot of time indoors, this isn't the place for you, but if you're goal is to be near the waves and practically live on the sand like we do, this is perfect.

My friend and I had a totally delightful stay at this location. The house is not fancy, but clean and totally functional with the exception of the outdoor shower; which was not a big issue. Wifi access would be nice, but cell phone access was good. The location can't be beat, one house away from the dune, and quick access to modern conveniences (groceries, etc.). This little house really grew on us, and we would stay again.

This was a rental for our two families comprised of 4 adults, 1 teenager and 2 children under age of 8. The beach bunker was exactly as described. If you just need a place to stay at the beach and relax, this is it. No luxuries here but definitely a cozy, family house that has been well kept and clean. This was the perfect house as far as location to nearby attractions and the beach. close enough to everything but yet far enough away to relax. We were all delighted about this bunker, the only Wi-Fi. I would definitely recommend this bunker to ALL my friends :)

This rental was perfect for what we needed. It is right off of the beach and it's close by a number of restaurants and shops. We are a family of four and there was plenty of room for us. The kids has their own TVs, which was a nice perk. Granted, the "bunker" is somewhat rustic. It could use some updating and a little TLC. Anyone looking for a fancy place with amenities probably wouldn't be happy. But if you want something affordable in a great location, this is a perfect choice.

Worked great for a guys fishing trip. It would sort of make you think of a fish camp. It suited our needs well and we liked it's location. The house is second off the beach, about 6 miles to the Oregon Inlet Fishing center and walking distance to the OBX pier. The house is showing it's age and could use some upgrades. The stove eyes don't stay plugged in well, the tub drains very slowly, the pots and pans are in poor condition, and we had to use coolers to keep the fridge closed. It is fruitless to try to get the sand out of the outdoor so you can use it to keep sand out of the house. The "grill" is a small tabletop grill in bad condition. I would use it again for another fishing trip, but I would not bring the wife and kids to stay here. It's better than a tent.

We absolutely loved the location and layout of the Beach Bunker. The place itself is perfect for beach bums who want to be close to the beach and just hang out. I would suggest that if you plan on cooking, bring EVERYTHING you need except plates, cups and silverware. The pans and bowls were un-usable. Other than that, it was a quaint little place to stay and we had a blast.
