OBX Vacation
We had a wonderful time at this condo. There were 5 of us so a 2 bedroom plus pullout couch was very comfortable. We appreciated the initial supplies of liquid hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels, auto dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent and trash bag. Beds were already made with cute sea themed sheets. The provided towels came prepackaged in clear plastic for each of us. The kitchen had everything we needed for 5 people, T-fal pots and pans. You will need to bring your own spices for cooking, there was only salt and pepper. The TV had cable and the owner provided HULU for free. The laundry is shared by all 4 condos in the building but we had no problems having access to it. Owner was very responsive to any texts. Beach chairs etc are not provided so bring your own, which we did. Most importantly it was ocean front for an affordable price. I would definitely recommend this condo and would absolutely stay here again. The 3 other condos in this building are also available if you have a larger family. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation.

MOST HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE EVER - RUN AWAY
My first time using VRBO and I will never do it again.I’ve been vacationing in OBX for twenty years and nothing has ever compared to the absolutely horrible experience the host created.I suggest using Midget Realty or one of the other realtors on the island for your stay.The only nice thing about this slum house is the location.The place is completely trashed.The carpet looks about 20 years old, the refrigerator makes a loud buzzing noise, the living room furniture is horrible, the beds are super worn and stained and the host is constantly breathing down your neck and texting every five minutes.If you want to be spied on by the host that lives there and watches your every move - this is your place.Host, Matt, decided to evict me because I had a service dog(4 lb silkie yorkie).Service dogs are allowed.He gathered my husbands 10 inch long hair (see pic) from the tub and said my yorkie shedded everywhere (she doesn’t shed).He then sent a pic of some weird bug and said it was from my dog.I also got a picture of a 15 year old stain on the carpet (1 of 1000 stains) claiming it was dog pee.He tried to charge me for everything you can imagine in order to get additional money.I called VRBO customer service and he was suspended from renting this place out and they refunded my money.Seriously, I’ve never had to write a bad review, but, omg I hope you heed this warning.The pic was taken by Matt - claimed it was from my yorkie.Her hair is an inch long and blond.Matt is a KAREN - run away!

Perfect spot for me
This was the perfect spot to hang out with my family and friends, we could walk outside and straight onto the beach. The view from the bedroom and the living room every morning was perfect just the right size for me. I would definitely stay here again. I loved having an apartment for the week Instead of a small hotel room or a much larger house to take care of… It was vacation time for fun!! Would definitely stay here again hope it’s available next time I decide to come home for a visit!!

Warning
This rental is non-refundable from the moment you push the button. My credit card was charged the full amount within 5 minutes of pushing the button to reserve. My credit card company alerted me of the transaction. I was stunned at how fast the money was taken. Less than 24 hours later I discovered that I had a conflict with the date. It is non-refundable and no exceptions.
Otherwise, the unit is modest and is as advertised....except for the ants.

A calming respite
My husband and I needed a getaway and this was just the place!!!! We wanted peace and quiet with direct access to the water! The deck has nice chairs and tables: there is a round table with chairs for sitting and eating or even working or playing games. There is a higher to able with 2 tall chairs that are wonderful for just relaxing and gazing at the ocean!
The kitchen had everything that we needed. There were local eateries but, this was in the midst of the COVID pandemic so we brought groceries and never left the property once we arrived.
Matthew was a kind host. We met him at the very beginning when we arrived and ran into him when we were leaving. What a nice young man! We genuinely enjoyed our conversation with him.
The only drawback was that the screen door to the patio was torn and I wished there was a screen on the sliding door from the bedroom to the outside because I would have loved to sleep with the door open to hear the ocean!
We would definitely go back and highly recommend this property and this location!!!! It was just the break that we needed.

Perfect oceanfront location
Mathew made sure we had everything we needed for our vacation. The beach house is just steps from the ocean. The deck has very comfortable seating, perfect for morning coffee watching the sunrise and moonrise the evenings. The beach is a little narrow here, however, it is not crowded and you have plenty of space to enjoy the beautiful clear water. Absolutely perfect location to get away from it all. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful House Right on the Beach
My friends and I had a fantastic experience staying at Starlights 2. The house is right on the beach which is extremely convenient and made for a relaxing stay. The beach was lovely and while there were people on it, it never felt crowded.
One of our favorite things about the property was the porch which was perfect for eating dinner or watching the sunset. Since the apartment is on the first floor, it is shaded and a great place to hang out.
We spent the first part of our week working remotely from the beach. The wifi was fast and we did not have any problems with it even with seven devices connected to it at the same time.
The house is stocked with pretty much every kitchen utensil you would want including a blender and two coffee makers.
Matthew, the owner, was also wonderful. He was friendly and easy to communicate with. He even brought over cortisone cream and a first aid kit after we mentioned that we had gotten bug bites at the beach.
Overall, we highly recommend staying at this property and had zero complaints! We're already thinking about coming back again!

Beautiful location!
The listing and photos were spot on but couldn’t do justice to the the amazing location. You are right on the beach! While Buxton is a bit further south and away from the hustle and bustle it was perfect for rest and relaxation and still had many conveniences, restaurants, water sport rentals and bikes. The condo was well equipped and clean. Loved having a Keurig! Matthew was very good to work with and attentive. Would definitely recommend this rental!
