Hovey House was GREAT. My family had not had a vacation in years and this week was perfect. We caught fish, kids done the educational tour of the Wright's Brothers Memorial and enjoyed the local go-carts. Host was very involved and professional. Will stay there again.

Not very clean-some things need replaced - they are old, broken or dirty. (Vents, underneath bed, wood looked moldy in one bathroom, dirt/trash disgusting under dishwasher (yuck)… comforters dirty stinky(we used our own) Places in the home could be cleaned better. Repairs are half/ass and look it… cheap Air didn’t work correctly at first and we reported it and ask for fans. The temp in the home got to 90- owners said there is a Walmart if we wanted fans.. not very accommodating…We had elderly people with us with COPD… The air finally got fixed..

Spectacular View!!
The best ocean views I've seen. Liked the enclosed area for my dog. We are now making him a sand box for home as a potty area. He could run out on the decks and go downstairs to his potty area without fears that he will get away. It was nice to have extra bathrooms to accommodate my family.

House and location was perfect!
We loved the house and the location was so perfect! Being able to bring our dogs and have a fenced in area beneath the house to keep our fur babies safe was a big plus. A couple things that we had trouble with the living room TV and would like to have more deck chairs for the top deck to enjoy the beach views. We are planning to schedule again next year around September!

Location, location, location!
This property had the best view we've ever had at OBX, sweeping vistas of the ocean from the decks and living areas. In addition the beach was not crowded at all because there's no public access nearby. There were 8 of us, which I would suggest be the max. The table seats 6 with 3 additional seats at the island. Ignore reviews from previous years because the renovations seem to have addressed the problems.

Fantastic location both for beach access and driving to and from area restaurants and shops.

Newer furnishings and appliances, beautiful oceanfront views and the convenient location made for a great vacation with friends.

Hurricane Ian ruined our trip
We’ve stayed here before and were looking forward to another vacation here, but hurricane Ian had other plans. Caused our plans to be canceled due to damage at the house. Nobody’s fault but Mother Nature! Fortunately the homeowners were communicating with us often, letting us know what was happening, and messaged to cancel as soon as it was apparent the house was unusable. We got a full refund quickly and i was able to get another location on another beach pretty quick so we only lost a day. I’m sorry things worked out the way they did but these things happen!

You DON’T get what you pay for!
Well, let me begin by saying that the only good thing about this house is it’s location! Upon arriving the owner/manager told us that she’d give us a code to get in… an hour and a half later while sitting out in the heat she tells us the door is unlocked! The owner’s excuse was she was flying and unable to reach us ! Wouldn’t a responsible person, who travels often I’m told, plan ahead and let the guests know codes beforehand 🤷‍♀️ If tables were turned and we were an hour and a half late leaving… we’d be charged! The carpets and tile floors are hideous! We had to dust night stands etc ourselves! Two “bedrooms “ have no closets 🤷‍♀️ If you plan to eat in the house bring your own dishes etc. There are 2 glasses, 1 wine glass and a few coffee cups! There’s not a complete set of silverware and the pans are so awful even bacon sticks to them! In one downstairs bathroom there is terribly moldy vent ! So in this case you DON’T get what you pay for!!!

Good location but scammed in the end
The property is in need of a lot of safety repairs loose railings ,nails exposed on decks, furniture was very dirty. I had to vacuum the place before we used any of the furniture. Stains on rugs then I was charged to have them cleaned. Doubt it was though. All pots and pans had loose or broken handles we also had to wash all the dishes when we arrived because they were greasy and dirty. There was mold in one of the bathrooms and a vent by the front door that just dripped water. We left the house cleaner than we found it and the home owner charged me for emergency carpet cleaning claiming my dog pooped all over the upstairs and downstairs which is not true my dog is house trained very well. Watch out for this one they are trying to get the renters to pay for repairs that they need to do. If they can’t afford to rent it and keep up with basic maintenance they should probably sell it. I am not the first person to have this problem with them from what I have seen I. Reviews. Stay away from this one and Vrbo should think about canceling their contract with them because they are scamming good people just trying to have a vacation.

Ocean views from 2 decks and bedrooms
Fantastic views from upper and lower deck and dunes do not block view. Due to the height of the upper deck you can see the beach far to the north and south. You can view ocean from your bed in 2 of the bedrooms. The other bedrooms have sunset views. The beds and living room furniture are comfy. The beds look and feel brand new. The house was and smelled clean. We brought our own grill, kayaks and beach chairs but there were plenty of beach chairs provided with 2 umbrellas.

Exactly what we were after
This was the perfect house for us and what we were after for a spring break in the outer banks. The house was a little smaller than we expected (given that we had two dog crates to set up), but it worked. Awesome beach views, comfortable bedrooms, easy access to nearby restaurants. Would highly recommend.

We booked about 2months out. So these issues shouldn’t have happened. They need a property manager. Dishwasher did not work the ENTIRE week we were there.
