Nice view, but....

Yes, it was a beautiful beachfront view, but... Carpet and furniture have noticeable dirty spots. Furniture is pretty worn. Bed mattress had to be changed out in 3rd fl master. The photos make the rooms appear far more spacious than what they are: one can barely move around the furniture in the downstairs rooms. As a previous reviewer stated, only one bedroom is large enough for someone with disabilities to get around in. We found only one DVD player in the house; 2 bedrooms do not have a TV. The kitchen dishwasher never worked while we were there. The second dishwasher (over 10 years old) in lower level was leaking when used as a substitute; this machine was fixed while we were there, but schlepping dishes from 3rd to 1st level and back up again to 3rd/kitchen level made for less than optimum vacation. 3rd level deck shakes when anyone walks across it. Pool was not very deep but refreshing. Elevator was great (especially considering the dish-carrying that had to be done), but not big enough for a wheelchair. The big dining table had 9 chairs. Our party of 12 had to move 3 deck chairs into the house every meal we ate together. The laundry room is awkwardly located off the 3rd floor MBR; machines are new and functional. I don't think this property should be rated "Sun Select".

Great location; House is clearly a rental, not someone’s prized beach house.

Pros: The house is great for 8-14 people. Location is great for being away from the KDH crowds but not needing to drive 45 minutes through the Duck bottleneck. Elevator, though not fast, is useful. Negatives: A lot of the furniture feels like it was scavenged from other places- it doesn’t quite fit right in the space. The bedroom furniture is crammed into the rooms. There’s not much space to move around. The sectional sofa is much too big for the space on the top floor and “shabby chic” (and not in a good way) seems to be decorating style. Be prepared to need to schedule when to do laundry. The ONLY laundry room in the entire house is located off of the master bedroom. So inconvenient!! It would be better if they had a set on the first floor off of the garage so you’re not walking through someone’s bedroom to do laundry. We seemed to be the first renters of the season and so many things were broken or just not cleaned or maintained. Mold-spotted furniture in the closet on the first floor. Dirt stains on the carpets. Musty air in the house. The air conditioning was spotty for the entire first week and we needed to call Sun 3 times just for the AC alone. To their credit, Sun did send someone with window units that kept the top floor about 76 degrees, but still. This was something that should have been taken care of BEFORE renters step foot in the house, but hey, they still got their money.

Your feedback is important, and we thank you for your review. It is very unfortunate that the air conditioning was working properly before your arrival however started acting up during your first week of vacation. Please know if we were aware of an air conditioning issue or even if there was a possibility before your arrival we would have immediately dispatched vendor to address. Offering a well-maintained vacation home for our guests is top priority so we are very apologetic that your vacation did not start with arriving to a home in top condition. Again, thank you for the feedback and for allowing us to host your 2018 vacation! Come back soon!  ~Team Kitty Hawk

Great Location

First here's the good. I would give this home a five star rating for its location on the beach. The top level with the master, dining room, living room and kitchen is great for large families. The elevator was a welcomed feature as a member of our family has bad knees. The view from the multiple decks is outstanding (morning sunrises with coffee made the week). The pool is lovely and the beach cart provided was a huge help. Now for the bad. The three star rating is due to the home needing a great deal of love and attention. If you plan on cooking in this home, bring your own pots and pans. The ones supplied with the home are very old with no Teflon making it difficult to cook on them and clean them. The carpets in the 2nd floor bedrooms are absolutely filthy. The rooms on the 2nd floor are small with large furniture. In fact, two of the rooms have large TV armoire, but no TVs in them. Many of the issues identified in the 2014 reviews still exist. The dishes are still broken and cracked (though a set of Correlle was added). The sliding doors on the 2nd floor are still difficult to open and close. The living room arm chair is extremely dirty (sitting in it made me freak out). The vegetation outside the pool fence has grown inside the fence to the point that weeds are growing around the pool area. The home needs maintenance, but overall the location of this home made up for the issues.

Mr.

The rental was everything we had hoped it would be, I have been coming to the Outer Banks as man and boy since 1954 and in my experience, the view of the water and access to the beach are unmatched. The amenities are first rate and since I was traveling with my 90-year-old mother, the elevator was an integral part of the visit. For those who like to explore, access by car to the northern and southern parts of the banks is very convenient. I hope to return very soon. but without the hurricane.

Great Vacation House

Loved this house. Beautiful views of the ocean. I only give this home four stars because the five bedrooms on the 2nd level are very small and hard to move around in. Each room had very old and small TV. But who stays in the bedroom while at the beach. Master suite was fabulous and the third floor was laid out well and tastefully furnished and decorated. Great kitchen and huge dinning table for all guests. Kitchen dishes were cracked, chipped and broken so attention to detail needs improvement, especially for a "luxury home". Overall I would recommend the house for a great vacation as long as the dish set is replaced.

Thank you for your very kind review. Looney Dunes is a beautiful home, and I'm so glad you were able to enjoy it. I'd also like to thank you for your feedback on the dishes. We have gone in and replaced the dishes with a new set.

Wonderful, but handicap difficulties

We really loved this luxury house right on the ocean. Almost everything about it was perfect. We had one guest in a wheel chair and worked hard to find a place that would accommodate her. She was able to make it into the elevator, though it was a bit tight at the door, and an extra wide chair would not have fit. There was only one room that had both a wide enough door and had the furniture was arranged so that a chair could be used in the room. This is the top room. The shower was a low threshold, walk-in type shower with a bench, but you can not wheel a chair into the shower, and you cannot fit two people in the shower for assistance with a handicapped person. Our wheelchair guest was not able to use the shower. We still enjoyed our stay very much, but we did not do enough research to confirm what type of handicap accommodations there are. I wish the sites would be more descriptive and show specific photos of the handicap options to make the choice easier. But the Sun Realty staff is very easy to work with and were very helpful. The house was clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen. A few light bulbs out, and one day the A/C couldn't keep up on the 3rd floor, but overall very very happy.
