Our first time renting Floriano was in 9/2017 with Sun Realty and we had a great experience with the property and the management so we decided to book again. Since my wife is pregnant, we knew that if we wanted to go to the beach we'd better do it before we get too close to the due date. I had the house programmed in GPS and almost passed it as it looked much different than our last visit a few months ago. The house had new siding, windows and the chimney had been removed. The house looked great with the new blue "shaker" siding and the color really goes well with the deck. We talked to the neighbors and apparently it was just done a few weeks prior to our stay. The inside was pretty much the same, but they did remove the gas fireplace and replaced it with an electric one. It does look nicer, but I'd be cautious running it as it's close to the wood mantle. I'm sure it'd be fine, but that fireplace does put out some heat so keep an eye on it! You can also run it without heat to just get the ambiance which we did on a rainy night. I found the fireplace was hooked into the TV remote which I thought was clever :) The house is a short walk to the beach and easily done with a 2 year old in tow. It's also a short walk to Duck Donuts, High Cotton BBQ, Run Down Cafe and even Steamers if you're willing to cross Ocean BLVD on foot. If you need provisions, Walmart and Harris Teeter are a short drive. We appreciated the car port and the extra covered patio beneath the house. We were able to play some corn hole on a rainy afternoon! The owners seem to take care of the property and are willing to invest in its upkeep. We appreciated the updates since we had been there while Hurricane Maria passed by and I think the new windows really help.

We absolutely loved the home! Already booked 2 weeks for next summer the day we had to check out. Decorated in my style, clean and comfortable. Short walk to the beach, near shops and restaurants and I loved sitting on the deck drinking my coffee. Can't wait till our neck stay! :)

This cozy house was perfect! Myself and a couple friends came down for a week of R&R. It is a short walk to the beach and cute shops. It is extremely easy to find, even for my geographically challenged best friend. The house was clean, comfortable and convenient - everything that you could want in an obx rental. The house was stronger than the storm - which came in handy since we were there during hurricane hermine. But that didn't stop us from relaxing and drinking margaritas! I look forward to another getaway to obx - this house will see us again!
