Porch Song

Cozy Family Fune
Overall a great experience!
The home was cozy and well equipped for our family of 6. With two days of un-beach-able rain, the house had many board games and books to choose from. There was a stash of various baby items, though I’m not sure if they were left from previous tenants or from the company, that were in subpar shape (eg. two umbrella strollers and neither of them had functional straps).

My only complaint was that the floors almost immediately turned my socks black, to the point that I didn’t feel comfortable letting my daughter (11m) crawl and play on the floor. I emailed the realty company but never heard back, probably because I added that I didn’t necessarily want someone to come out and clean but that I wanted them to be aware.

When our lock wasn’t working, the owner called me herself and offered her personal cell number to text if it happened again. Excellent service when it mattered the most!

Porch song stay
Generally had a nice week. Facility is ideally located for our purposes. Next door to another house that we also rent so ideal for 5 families. Location off main streets, back yard pool and proximity to ocean make it perfect for children. Had to deal with faulty smoke detectors and water pooling up at garage entrance ( lots of rain from nearby hurricane) but generally had a good stay. Detectors were repaired. A little drainage channeling would help with the pooling water. Facility was clean. We still look forward to another years stay at this location.

Porch Song rental in Kitty Hawk, NC
I was very satisfied with this rental. Our party of 10 included three generations in ages from the 80’s to 10 years old. There were plenty of books, puzzles and games to occupy our time away from the beach. The pool was enjoyed by all. We liked having the outdoor gas grill. Our only two complaints were no working can openers, and one chair in screened in porch was in need of a bolt to secure it. There was one board lifted on the pool deck. We didn’t report these small inconveniences since we were able to work around them and we still had a great time. We chose early check in which I thought was excessive. Otherwise a good time was had by all.

Good price
Not the best place I've stayed but comfortable and good amenities. To have 5 bedrooms, a private pool and a hot tub, the price was good. We had a couple of issues that were resolved quickly for Memorial Day weekend, and extended the stay an extra day. A couple of reviewers noted that there wasn't a gas grill so I brough charcoal, but there is a gas grill there now. Also renters should be aware that the bunk bedroom (1 of 4 bedrooms on the middle level) does not have access to a full bathroom without going into another bedroom's private bathroom. I was aware of this before I got there because another reviewer mentioned it. It worked out fine because I planned for it, but it could be an issue for some. I do think the house could use a visit from the owner to get some things into shape.

Family vacatio
The place was perfect for our family get away. We loved that the kids could stay on one level and our parents could stay on the upper level. The hot tub was such a wonderful bonus as our weather did not permit us to use the pool.

Great location
The house was really nice and the location was great, very close to the beach and easy to bike to several places. A few things that could be better: -the bbq is ancient park like charcoal grill. Would have been nice to have a modern grill -great to have a pool option, but the pool is very old and really needs to be updated

Overall the place was good! It could have been a little cleaner, missing a controller for a TV, condition of walls and blinds could use addressed. A biggie fir us was no gas grill only a small charcoal picnic grove style one that you see in parks. We had to rent a gas grill for over $125. Location to the beach was great and having a pool is always a bonus.

Great location and quick communication
Stayed with 9 adults and 1 two year old and had a great time. Enough space for all of us. Short 5 minute walk to the beach, 10 minute drive to Publix and few minutes from few restaurants. Host was always quick to respond and communicated clearly.
