Our home has 2 master bedrooms each with a queen size bed and a four-piece bathroom with double sinks and jetted garden tub. There are two additional bedrooms with a full Jack-and-Jill bathroom in between the two rooms. One has 2 pair of bunk beds(sleeps 4)and the other bedroom has a single bed over a full size bed (pyramid, can sleep 3). You will find all of the rooms to be spacious and freshly decorated with familiar beach house décor. There is also a brand new outdoor shower with changing area for your convenience. The game room, located downstairs, has a mini fridge and wet bar for your pleasure with a table to do puzzles or play cards. The kitchen has everything you would need to enjoy some tasty meals. Everyone can sit together, as the dining table seats 12. There is also a breakfast bar with 4 seats. An outdoor charcoal grill, for your use, is provided on the ground level. There are also 2 half baths (one off the great room, upstairs and the other off of the game room, on the lower level). Central AC and/or heat is present as well to keep you cool or warm.

Not fantastic... just ok
Good location. Allowed early check-in. Arrival gift pack was nice - bottle of wine and some necessities. I booked for 12 people and we had 2 extra rolls of toilet paper provided... when most of the current rolls were about empty. No extra trash bags. Only about 6 forks were there. Hot tub did not work on arrival. Took 3 days to get it partially working. It was not in English, so we couldnt understand the menus. Jets and lights worked for 1 night (15 minutes) and then couldn't get them to work again. A couple cockroaches... not terrible. The 2nd floor master bath had some black spots so those staying in that room weren't comfortable using the jetted tub. Disappointed for the cost we paid for the week since we chose this place primarily for the hot tub against a cheaper place with similar space/location that provided other amentities.

Nice cottage
We enjoyed crabbing off the dock. The house is not far from plenty of public access spots to the beach and sound side. Kitchen was fully stocked with every appliance we could need. The waffle maker was a hit with the kids. Our group appreciated the huge dining room table where we could all sit and eat together. The housekeeping could use some work as we found candy wrappers between the bed and the wall when we were putting sheets on the beds and a couple of roaches. Over all it was a good house for the price for our group and we would stay here again.

Great house for our fishing trip
Overall, this house is great! It was spacious and had plenty of beds and areas to just hangout. We went on a fishing trip with 6 guys and it was perfect. The a/c worked great! The only small issues we had were a few dead cockroaches sitting around, not enough toilet paper, a broken deck chair, and some trash under a couple of the beds. We would not only book this house for another fishing trip, but we would feel confident bringing our families too!

Nice stay
Overall our stay was great. The house was clean with the exception of the air fryer and oven. The location was great, loved being on the water! Close to Buxton beach. The owners were nice to work with, very friendly and quick to respond. It was our anniversary and they left us a bottle of wine with a nice note. Super hosts! Now for the not so good. We had no freezer the entire time. It kept freezing shut. We contacted the owners and they said to unplug it for a while. After unplugging it for the third time, we just went out and bought ice for our cooler. This was a major inconvenience for us given we had frozen meat brought from home and we couldn’t get popsicles or ice cream…bummer. The linens provided weren’t great but we brought our own anticipating that. We didn’t use the hot tub because it was way over chlorinated and burned our noses when we lifted the lid, seriously we were coughing it was so bad. The house should have never been rented without a freezer imho. The cleaning company and hot tub company should be addressed by the owners. In any event we did enjoy or stay.

It needs serious maintenance and basic amenities
Let me start with the positives. The location is great. Neighbourhood feels safe. The house is next to a canal which provides awesome views from all the floors. Shops are nearby. Owner/Manager is responsive Now the not so good part. I saw 2 cockroaches in the 1st floor on day 1. Thankfully we were not sleeping on that floor. All the floors were squeaky. On our first night, there was a storm (not very serious kind). But inside the house, everything was shaking like an earthquake. The seals of the balcony doors were gone. So it was so noisy to sleep. Almost all the furnitures are like 15 years old. The sofa has all the dirt of the world. The floors felt sticky throughout. All the outside lights do not work. So you have to have a torch, phone light to navigate outside stairs, as its pitch dark otherwise. I don't know who does this kind of maintenance. In the listing, it said it has a grill. Turns out that its a charcoal grill stand on the outside (just like parks). And did I say, we have to buy all the toiletries? I mean even the hand soaps are not provided. I am not looking for any fancy shampoo or body wash. But atleast the basic toiletries is expected. Even garbage bags were not there to use. We had to buy every damn thing for a two night stay. Bottomline is, bring everything in your trunk. Coz other than linens, NOTHING ELSE IS PROVIDED.

House Maintenance & deep cleaning is lacking.....
After a long drive we were super excited to arrive to our vacation rental. We were greeted with trash cans on the curb, the steps/decking leading up to the front door are warping. Peeling paint and rusted light at the front door. Entering the home we smelled a musty smell right away. The carpet was not clean. Dust piled on the ceiling fan. Dust on vents and in the hvac room. We loved the location and the views from every window. We were so very disappointed. We have never had an issue with a VRBO Rental. Every home previously were very well maintained. We reached out to VRBO within an hour of arriving. They asked us to contact the Host directly which we did. Host said they would call the cleaning company to confirm they had cleaned. The host reached back out to confirm the housekeeping had been to the home & they never get complaints. This was not the issue. The issue was the rust, dust, musty odor "mold?" and the decking.These were safety concerns. Our son has allergies and asthma so this was not a safe environment for us. We really wanted to love this home as it had very good reviews. The host communicated there was nothing they can do for us and they would not be issuing a refund but the next day we noticed a small refund was issued. Overall extremely disappointing experience. I wish VRBO had an independent third party company to inspect these properties for maintenance. We tried to resolve this through the owners & VRBO to no avail.

House was not clean. Home had roaches. Decks need major work done. T Vs not thThat you need them very difficult to operate. This home could be fantastic and we personally believe the owners know of these problems. We did notify them of the cleanliness issues when we arrived and they responded immediately to solve the issue and refunded us the cleaning and linen charge.

Family Fun
We love Brigands Bay and the house was really nice. We enjoyed the hot tub, and fishing in the canal. There seems to be a leak or rain blowing in the vent above the door to the top floor deck. A couple of times we noticed a small amount of water on the floor right in the middle of where the door middle is. Couldn't see any stains on the ceiling so it might have dripped from the vent? My daughter and her husband shared the lower floor master bedroom and they said that the mattress was not comfortable. We would definitely recommend this house though

What an amazing place for large groups. We had 9 and the house/property did not disappoint. The kitchen was well stocked. Furniture and beds were very comfortable. The area was quiet and just the right amount off the beaten path. Perfect place to stay if fishing out of Hatteras Harbor. Wayne and Stacy were perfect hosts. We had a few challenges and they were flexible with us. We will definitely stay here again.
