Filthy, Unsafe, and Insulting Response - Do NOT Stay Here!…read more I have stayed in many places over the years, and this was by far the most disgusting and poorly managed property I've ever experienced. This place should not be advertised at the rate I paid -- it felt like a $50-a-night roadside dump, not a $200+ vacation rental. Here's what I encountered: * Black mold in the bathroom and even on the doors, a clear health hazard. * Thick layers of dust coating the ceiling fans, window ledges, and even the walls -- clearly no one has cleaned this property in ages. * Lamps literally falling apart. * The entire room smelled musty and damp, making it feel unclean and unsafe. * Trash scattered throughout the backyard, including a dirty diaper just left behind. * To make matters worse, there was an animal scratching inside the walls at night, making it impossible to sleep. When I reported these issues to KEES Vacations management, they only offered a pathetic $30 "goodwill" refund, which is beyond insulting given the condition of this property and the amount I paid. It's clear they have zero concern for guest safety, cleanliness, or satisfaction. This property is completely unkempt and neglected. I will never stay at a KEES property again, and I strongly urge others to stay far away. There are plenty of clean, well-managed places to stay -- don't risk your vacation, your health, or your sanity here. Bottom line: * This place is a health hazard. * KEES management is dismissive. * Absolutely not worth the money. Do yourself a favor: DO NOT STAY HERE.

if I could give this place negative stars I would. It's self check in like an Airbnb, which I…read morethought was cool... until we needed literally anything at all... The room had a musty smell that *immediately* began to bother my allergies, its by the beach so I figured it was just hard to keep completely dry. You get limited resources, 3 small, sad pillows, no extra blankets, 1 towel per guest, and no place to get water (except the shower or bathroom sink and just... no.) or ice even in the entry area and hall. The bathroom door didn't latch, much less lock and even if you held it closed there was a 2in peep hole where the latch *used* to be and the wood is worn down. We're married, c'est la vie. The toilet did *not* want to flush but if you held it a while it finally would. There was no hook for the hand towel they provided so we draped it across the back of the sink- not ideal. Still, the room seemed nice enough at first.. until we tried to shower. It had a jacuzzi tub that we were excited to try and now will fuel my germaphobia and nightmares for years to come. The shower walls had someone else's hair on them, an indication that they had not been cleaned. We were sore from the drive and the tub looked clean enough, even though the walls were gross, we planned to shower after anyway. To start, it was broken, if you pressed the button the bubbles would start but as soon as you took your finger off the button, it stopped. We rigged it with our keys to get it going. When the vents started, the water began to make *actual* bubbles... we had not used soap yet. Then, to our everlasting horror, when the bubbles burst against the tub wall, a greenish brown scum spread across them. I about vomited so we quickly tried to drain the tub (we had to pry the plug out because it didn't have a handle or anything). The dispensers for both the soap and shampoo were empty. They didn't even spurt a tiny bit out so they have probably been empty for quite some time. We had checked this ahead of time, thankfully, and borrowed some from travel companions in another room (they, too, were almost out. So, we had a coffee cup with *maybe* two quarter sized squirts of soap- once I added hand soap to the mix?). We always bring soap but it was only one night and hotels always provide it, right? Once we had scrubbed the top layers of our skin off, we climbed into a creaky and *very* uncomfortable bed. The shade on the window beside the bed would not go down further than halfway and the curtains were this so they did not block the lights from the street. The AC is above the closet so there is no way to cover the light it produces which was an impressive amount (at this point, just about anything would have annoyed me, so...), this meant that there were bright lights on either side of us. The toilet periodically made loud running water noises even though no one was using it. This, too, made sleep difficult. Hands down, the *worst* hotel experience of my entire life. I created a yelp account for the sole purpose of warning all potential guests away. TLDR: Please, SPARE YOURSELF. Rent some place else.

The proximity to the beach was an absolutely bonus for the teens. Very close to restaurants but you really don't have to go anywhere as everything that you have at home, they have it at the cottage.

When we stayed there (late summer 2012), we were quite content. We had 3 families in our party and we had empty rooms to spare! If you're looking for a place to stay in the OBX with a couple of family units needing multiple rooms, look no further than the "Castleberry" house in Southern Shores, NC. You'll have everything you need and more!

I love the building with its weathered shaker shingles, bright green door, and welcoming walkway lined with flowerpots. It looked like something out of a movie, beautiful! Inside, the lobby was dim, full of antiques, dark wood, vintage Tiffany lamps, Oriental rugs, faded chintz, a cuckoo clock and abundant in English charm. The owner of the inn was "off duty" but she left our keys and towels on the huge heirloom desk in the parlor. Talk about trusting your visitors... this was a sweet surprise. Our room was just as charming as the lobby, appointed with aged floral wallpaper, red and white checkered calico quilts on the beds, vintage furnishings and pictures of a bygone era. It was certainly cozy and warm. What could've improved was the twin bed I slept in... it wasn't very comfortable as it was saggy... new mattress please, smiley face! My friend's queen bed was comfy though, she said. Another thing I would have appreciated is a set of soft, matching towels. Although the bathroom was clean, the towels were rough, mix matched, and worn. This is an easy fix to take this inn up a notch! We only stayed one night, and when we checked out, again the phantom innkeeper was nowhere to be seen. While I appreciate the trustworthiness of the owner allowing its guests to check themselves in and out, we did encounter a couple of issues that would have warranted face-to-face contact. Next door lives a relative of the owner, I believe, and they have the yappiest little dog I've ever heard. No need for a wake up call here, lol! With a couple of improvements and a bit of sprucing, I think this idyllic country inn could easily be 5 stars! Maybe upon my next visit, I can meet the owner and they can earn that elusive 5th star *!!

When you cross that bridge and roll the windows down all your worries seems to blow right out Every year I see all these great unique spots I want to stop and explore such as Peace of the Past on 460 or Carolina Charm in Currituck ... Every year my husband just flys right on by them I decided to take an overnight trip and stop at each and every unique place I've always wanted to explore for the past 15 plus years . I get my good friend involved and on board . She's always up for a road trip . That's how I stumbled upon this quaint little place . We both like Tea Rooms and B&B's so I started calling and most places would not accommodate an overnight stay. A minimum of 2 days were required. An owner to one B&B suggested the Scarborough House Inn not to be confused with Scarborough Inn . I expressed my appreciation and quickly looked up the number to see if I could book my reservations.(it was Wednesday and we were leaving the next day) I was so elated that the lady on the phone was happy to accommodate us for just one night . She suggested the room with a queen bed and a twin . All the rooms are antique inspired. Although not a B&B , it has all the charm of one. (because of not serving breakfast. It has English country cottage charm . We arrived later that evening and on the desk in the lobby was a note to me from Ruth along with my key to Room 3 . The room was cool and quite charming more than I even expected . We had a small refrigerator / freezer , microwave , coffee pot ,TV and a small table to eat at . The room was a nice size and the decor will take you back in time . From the quilts on the bed to the 4 poster queen bed give you a feeling of home even though your away from home. So quaint and charming . I look forward to planning another trip to Manteo and booking my accommodations here at the Inn.

No need to worry about traveling far back for bathrooms or meals because its just a quick walk back down our private boardwalk. There's front and back doors for convenience to the unit which have proven to be very useful! It's clean, cozy and fun! If I'm forced to post any type of criticism I'd suggest putting in a new refrigerator since it doesn't fit the lovely granite and other furnishings, getting newer bedding and pillows and I'd also say you can hear foot steps from the upstairs unit pretty clearly but to classify these as complaints would be a stretch. The great balcony, many adirondack chairs, fun little 4th depth entry pool, private boardwalk to the beach, cute beachy decor and overall convenience and comfort are far too distracting and fun to find anything that would keep me from renting this unit again!
