Beach, Golf, Water Sports, Restaurants, Shopping...the perfect OBX vacation!

The view of the sound was amazing! Our grandchildren loved the decor. There was a pirate room with a treasure chest, a beach room with fake palm trees, parrots and monkeys, and model boats everywhere. There were lots of children’s games in the play room.

However, the linens were thread bare and needed to be replaced. The mattresses were old and uncomfortable.

Soundview is a beautiful house and fit our needs for our vacation perfectly! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need to cook and serve a fabulous meal. The multiple decks are great for relaxing and watching the sunset over the sound. The living areas are large, but cozy and are just right for relaxing after a busy day at the beach or exploring the Outer Banks. The bedrooms are comfortable and are decorated nicely. Bathrooms are clean and everything operated as expected. The pool and hot tub were wonderful for starting or finishing out the day. We even made use of the grill and patio dining areas two nights. We did have an issue with the air conditioning on the second floor, which required a part that took a few days to arrive, but the property managers brought in window units while they were waiting for it. Overall, we all highly recommend Soundview for an OBX vacation and will definitely stay again if we come back!

The pool is nice for relaxing and I loved the swing by the sound. The kitchen is amazingly stocked with everybitensil, dish and pan you could ever need. There is a fully stocked game and movie closet downstairs that we didn’t find until the day we left. The only thing I would change would be the latches on a few of the doors were not secure and having little ones we were very nervous about them having access to the pool. Registration was confusing as the house was listed with two businesses that did not work together. It caused a lot of frustration on our end and when it was said and done, we ended up paying $300 more than what it was listed with the other company. Being the first year with the new company, hopefully next year it willl be listed with only one group. Owner was easy to communicate with and very friendly !

First time renting a beach house. Elan serviced well. Lots of small issues with house (fridge with nasty rotten fish smell, screen door and DVD player broke) but overall a nice place. With these issues addressed would stay again. Right on the water made for amazing sunsets; lots of bugs as one might expect at the edge of a marsh. Enjoyed the hot tub and billiard table.
