It's A Vibe

Recent August stay
The house has pluses and minuses. The advantages: the house was clean, it is a short walk to the beach, the decks are expansive and the crows nest deck has a wonderful view, the pool area is clean and very nice, the host accommodated our 4 dogs. The rooms are fine. The master bedroom is spacious. The cons: We cooked a lot and the kitchen area is small, the pans were poor quality to cook, the TV on the main living room was small for the space, the dining table was old and chairs uncomfortable and too low for the table. 3 chaise lounges around the pool were broken. The management company replaced them.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed the cleanliness of the house, the short walk to the beach, and the stunning views from the crow's nest deck. It's great to hear that the pool area met your expectations and that we could accommodate your four dogs! We appreciate your feedback on the kitchen size and cookware quality, as well as the dining table and chairs. Your insights are invaluable, and we’ll look into improving those areas for future guests. We're also pleased to know that our management team promptly addressed the broken chaise lounges by the pool. We hope to welcome you and your furry friends back soon for another wonderful stay!

Awesome vacation!
My family stayed at It’s a Vibe from June 15-22 with our two dogs. The location was excellent for a quick walk to the beach and proximity to our favorite restaurants like Art’s Place, Barrier Island Bagels, Bad Bean Baja Grill, Boulevard Ice Cream, and Southern Shores Pizza. The house had awesome views of the ocean from the upper deck and the crows nest. We enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset from the crows nest. The house was large enough to accommodate my wife and I, parents, brother, and dogs. It had a game area off of the living area that was a fun way to spend some time. Coast Realty was very easy to work with. They addressed a maintenance issue almost immediately and using their app/texting them was very easy. The house itself has some dated furnishings and wear and tear. The cookware was old/worn and scratched. The description said there is a baby gate in the house to gate off the dogs but we couldn’t find one. We brought our own luckily. If you are bringing a small child make sure you have one because you will need one for the steps leading to the kitchen/dining area. We really enjoyed the pool area in the afternoons, but the grass inside of it was very high and not maintained. The house would be really great if the second level with the bedrooms was renovated to match the upstairs kitchen/living area. Overall, it was a very nice stay and we would definitely rent through Coast Realty again!

Very happy with our stay!
The biggest thing for us is having enough space for everyone and our dogs when going on vacation. It's a vibe definitely fit the bill. It was in a great location, close enough to the beach and all activities in the obx but also there were a lot of amenities in the house (i.e. games, pool Items, etc). The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again in the future!

Fabulous Beach Vacation at Kitty Hawk- It's a Vibe
We (family and friends) had a great beach vacation recently at the It's a Vibe rental property at Kitty Hawk.

The house and very spacious, comfortable, well furnished and convenient. Rooms, Beds and futon are very comfortable. Beach access is one block away and just 5 min walk. 5 to 10 min drive to multiple shopping options, including groceries. Beach cart is very handy. AC works well and is cool inside but cannot go below 70. Enjoyed the fabulous swimming pool and enclosed outside shower. Hammocks are clean. Eagles or Bird's Nest gave excellent view of the ocean, the general area and July 4th fireworks. Lots of cups, glasses, dishes, utensils, cooking pots, kettle, toaster, refrigerator with icemaker, Kuerig coffee maker etc. Parking for 6 to 7 cars, including covered parking for 2. Also has a charging plug for electric cars. Lots of furnished deck space in the front and back at two levels. Lots of shade on porch. There was enough covered deck for pet dog to hang out longer than just early dawn and dusk.
There is a top load washer with dryer on top, but dryer takes a long time to dry clothes.

Coast Realty was very responsive with any questions or needs, and pleasant to work with. The rental process, including check-in/checkout, was smooth and efficient, and instructions/directions provided were clear. In fact, Coast Realty and Its a Vibe property are clearly the best we have had so far for our beach vacations over the years.

Overall we had a wonderful time and enjoyed our care-free stay. We strongly recommend Its a Vibe property and Coast Realty for beach vacation rentals in the Outer Banks area and look forward to using them in the future.

2023 vacation
Had a very good time love the house. The only thing I could suggest is getting some furniture around the pool that is not broken.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at Its a Vibe. The home was a great fit for us. We loved how close to the beach it was and the pool was great as well.

Chill Vibez!
I spent a well needed vacation here with my family! It was so relaxing, from the spacious rooms, beautiful views from the decks, and watching the sunrise every morning and walking on the beach! I loved the different setup ocean themes in the bedrooms, the game room was a definite win (played almost everyday) and of course getting some beach and pool time in as well! The place was clean, well organized, and just relaxing overall. I loved enjoying the view in the eagle's nest (with a nice cocktail) and soaking in the heated pool, but most of all just enjoying the company with my amazing family! I will definitely be back ASAP!

Heaven!
I spent the most exquisite week at It's A Vibe with my children and grandchildren. I stayed in a beautiful, cozy bedroom with a comfortable queen-sized bed and an array of well-suited paintings on the wall, which was located on the first floor. On the 2nd floor there's a game room, spacious dining room, the living room(where I relaxed and did my reading), along with a very cozy kitchen. There are at least 3 porches...one of which offers a breathtaking view, and a swimming pool in the backyard. I also enjoyed taking relaxing walks on the beach, which is within walking distance. The time went by so fast! I never wanted to leave and I will definitely be going back!!

Great Week at It’s a Vibe
We enjoyed a fantastic week at this property. We had everything we needed, and our dog was with us! We loved the pool, and we were very close to the beach. It was so nice to be able to watch sunrises and sunsets from the crow’s nest- lovely! The location was also close to many restaurants. We definitely would like to rent this property again!
