Lemon Drop Inn dropped the ball!
Within an hour of check-in, I had made a list of about 30 things damaged, unsafe, unclean about the property and notified the managing realty, Outer Banks Blue. The maintenance manager called me right away and send he would send a maintenance technician in the morning which he did. However, we finally asked to transfer to another property when the pipes squealed so loudly in one of the baths, and they transferred us to another property. Also this was over a half mile walk to the beach, much of it through sand.

Not as pictured and unclean.
Home was not as advertised, and was dirty/neglected. Trash outside, mold on/in fridge, broken doors that wouldn't lock, and used tampon applicators laying around outside. Beautiful area, gross house.

It was ok
The property is ok , dog hair everywhere. Loofah in the shower from the last person. Beer in the fridge from the last people. The grill was laying in the yard . I had to use my umbrella sand holder to dig a hole to use the grill, by the way I did report it and nothing was done but with burgers to grill and 8 people to feed! It was necessary.TP holder was broke , door to deck was off the track and would not open, shower curtain was tied on because it was so tore. This Property is poor managed and would not recommend staying here!

Needs a little TLC
The property was as described in add. When we got to the house and went inside found that the toilet seat on the main (upper) floor was broken and a note on the dishwasher that service was called and no one showed up to fix it, a broken chair in the living room and the bed on the main floor (upper Level) was missing the fitted sheet. It looked like someone was in a hurry and only cleaned what they had too. There was a chair on the deck that was broken and one on the back deck that over looks the pool that was broken as well. Other than that the house was manageable and we made the best of it. I have pictures that I took upon arrival if needed.

High Hopes Dashed
Upon arrival we immediately noticed issues such as: - cigarette butts in a planter - linens jumbles on landing - broken furniture in living room - broken furniture on deck & pool area - toilet seat broken in master bath - trash on deck We called and sent pictures to the management group. A maintenance man came by and said we were at the end of his route so he’s come back to fix these things...no one ever came back. On day 2 we noticed that the dishwasher was broken and we were unable to locate a broom. Called that in but no response in the time we were there....7 days. Also, this is not a short walk from the beach.., it’s 3/4 - 1 mile to a boardwalk access point which is not accessible to a cart, wagon or beach wheelchair.

Great quick getaway
It was very nice to have the option to do an extended long weekend before the season gets going! The beach was windy but the pool was perfect! I had asked ahead of time if any baby equipment would be present and was told to bring everything just in case but then they ended up having everything! Wish I knew ahead of time. Otherwise, the managers were pretty easy to communicate with. It was as expected!

Nice house, a little far from the beach
This was one of the cleanest houses we have ever stayed in! It truly was pet and kid friendly too which was super helpful. The owners were very sweet in sending a thank you gift for renting the property. The property management company was responsive and helpful. The only drawbacks were how far it was from the beach (it’s not terribly far for adult and older kids but for adults, a toddler, beach gear, and dogs it’s a bit of a hike) and how close together all the houses are in the neighborhood. Because of the types of windows in the house it was very easy to hear everything going on in all the houses around us which sometimes made sleeping difficult for our son. The pool was immaculate though and the hot tub was nice as well. If I could pick the house up and move it somewhere more isolated, I would certainly rent from these owners and this company again.
