From start to finish this was a fantastic experience. This house is far superior to a hotel stay- steps from the beach, comfortable space with everything we needed, plenty of room to relax…I cannot speak highly enough about our stay here!

Reviewer Comments:
Location very convenient to beach and pool but since it is a duplex neighbors above unit can be noisy when trying to sleep
The house was clean and functioned as-advertised. The beach near the property is no longer surfable. However, it is a great sunbathing and fishing beach. We had five people. This property would still be quite comfortable with two couples and two singles.
Everything was perfect as advertised, just carpet could have been a little cleaner. No big deal, though. Wish the sheets had been on the bed already, but I probably missed that in the listing.
The property was exactly as listed, actually we were pleasantly surprised when we opened the door. House was nicely furnished and very clean. The view from the deck is amazing. We needed to contact the management to get a plunger for 1 of the toilets. Called they asked us we needed maintenance but i said no just a plunger and in a couple minutes we got the issue cleared. Check in was effortless. They text you the door code and you go right in. We will consider staying again.

Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed here for the last 10 to 12 years. The place is always clean and they have done a lot to maintain the property. This year was a little frustrating as the house wasn't rented to one group for the entire week. In the past it was required to book it for the week but this year two separate groups split the week which made for more noise from the upstairs unit from moving in and out and cleaning in between. Also the second group decided to play very loud and vulgar music from the balcony which was very disturbing. The beach area close to the house isn't the greatest as the tide comes up pretty high and there is a pretty substantial drop off to get to the water. Overall the people who manage the property are accommodating and friendly. Recommend staying in the top unit to avoid so much noise from people below.

We really were super pleased with our stay at this rental. It was clean, comfortable, everything worked and had a nice partial view of the ocean. The only thing that could have made it better would have been a hot tub.

the condo was beautiful, love the island. this was our 2nd stay with this company. we only had a few problems someone ran over the water meter our first night so we had no water until 11am the next day. the only other problem was our upstairs neighbors were loud and drunk the whole week stomping on the floor until 3am in the morning. that being said i still love this place.

Very good experience until neighbor up stairs fired up his hot rod truck in the garage at 630 am and reved up the engine for 5 minutes. No fault of yours but maybe emphasize guiet times. Ground are not kept up like normal. Grass was very high with ticks.Found several on me and dog. Other than these issues it is a great place.

Reviewer Comments:
We absolutely love Lighthouse View for their location, comfort, amenities, peace/quiet and pet friendliness. The property was recently updated, which was wonderful. The dumpster was over-filled for a couple days but was emptied when I notified the front desk. The master bedroom had nice decorations, and the bed was extremely comfortable. I would recommend softer comforters to match the quality of the soft sheets, etc. The kitchen was stocked with like-new pots/pans, containers, utensils, etc., and other needs were taken care of by the helpful people at the front desk (i.e., cutting board, dishwasher pods, etc.). We've been staying at this location for about 20 years and will continue to do so and recommend it to our friends and family.
Very nice no contact service. Definitely a beautiful home right on Hatteras shore. Had a great stay and experience.

Button beach stay
It was ok and we enjoyed being close to the beach. Dolphins were swimming every day we stayed which was cool. I thot it was the place right on the ocean but it was not. They gave us a code for the pool and hot tub but they were both closed the entire time we were there which is a big reason why we chose this location so we were not happy. The outside shower was not working which made cleaning off the sand very difficult and the bathroom had mold. The water wasn’t working at the fish cleaning station either.

My family and I had a wonderful time at the LightHouse View! The view and location are perfect. We loved the convenience of the outdoor showers, easy walk to beach and pool, furniture in decent shape and the beds were pretty comfortable. The unit was fairly clean when we arrived but there was evidence of leak in master bathroom, dirty dishes in the dishwasher (which is mostly broken inside), stains on the carpets, and grease on the stove. Despite all that, we will be staying again!
I really liked the location of this property. Not far from the beach. And it only took minutes to get what you needed as far as restaurants or grocery stores. We weren't interested in much else than the beach and some good food and this was the perfect area. Small issues with a couple of the blinds not closing easily or a lamp not working, but overall a fantastic little place. I wish the laundry was actually in the cottage and not underneath, but we only washed one load while down there because we were more interested in just having fun. The cottage was clean and the check in/check out process was very simple. The property manager was very responsive and helpful to questions we had. I would stay here again. They tell you some things to bring, but one that I didn't remember seeing was garbage bags which I highly recommend bringing.

It was a great place to stay! My only complaint is that you can hear everything upstairs but that’s what happens when you want the first floor. I brought a hound machine and it worked great. Clean and close to everything. Would stay again!

GReat Location. Clean. Client. We had an awesome vacation at the Lighthouse view inn. I would recommend to anyone.
We had a wonderful stay. So much room to stretch out for all of us. Cottage was very clean. Heads up on a few things to bring, laundry detergent and dry sheets as they supply several bath towels but to swap out for clean towels there is an extra fee, so I washed ours in the washer and dryer in the unit. Bring dish towels. Bring paper products as they will get you started but not enough for a 1/2 week stay. Overall it was wonderful.
My only complaints are that the WiFi was cut off the night before check out. I understand the day of, but the night before esp when I paid for that night too, was disappointing. And the gas fireplace was not working, per management it was "not usable at the time" Normally I wouldn't care, but it being April it was windy and chilly 🥶 a few nights and the fireplace would have been a nice touch. Above all we will be back, the kids loved it and we loved being there.
