We had a great vacation and loved staying at Donny and Marlena’s house. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our dogs and they loved being outside with us. The pool was a great size and we spent most of our time in it. The hot tub was also an added bonus and was great to be in at night time. You could hear the waves crashing from the front porch while sipping coffee. The walk to the beach was effortless and a simple walk up the street. Would definitely stay here again, great location to restaurants as well.

Summer Family Vacay
Check in was very smooth, Donny even messaged us and said our rental was ready 2 hours before checkin time, which was awesome! The house was great! We made so many memories by the pool & hottub, on the porch, playing volleyball in the backyard. We could even see the ocean from the front porch! Everyone enjoyed themselves. We will definitely stay here again!

Another Day In Paradise
The house, location and amenities exceeded our expectations! Donny and Marlena were very responsive to any questions we had. Our family had such a wonderful time this year. We made so many memories on the back deck and in the pool. Public beach access was less than a block away. The house is well stocked with everything you could possibly need to prepare meals in house. You can hear the waves crashing from the front porch. We spent a couple of evenings watching movies in the living room and there is a wide selection of DVDs to choose from. We really liked that we could bring our two dogs this year. The backyard is safe and secure for them. We were so happy with everything that we booked another week next summer after our first day at Summer Breeze. Thank you for everything. We are already counting down the days until we return

Great location close to beach
This property is spacious and would be great for a multi-generational family. if you're traveling with parents / grandparents, this rental is perfect!
We stayed in November, so we didn't get a change to swim but enjoyed the lovely hot tub. The board game collection is awesome and having two kitchens is so nice to keep snacks / dinners separate.
The host was very helpful and responded promptly when we had a few questions.
The wrap-around deck is fantastic for catching the sunshine and seeing the ocean! The waves can be heard from the deck and property... awesome rental to see the sunrise just a few minute walk to the bea

We absolutely loved our stay! The house exceeded our expectations especially with a little one. The location was amazing and being able to come home from the beach and go straight to the pool or hot tub was a huge plus. Any questions we ever had were answered immediately and the house offered everything we needed and more!! We highly recommend staying here!

Dirty and Infested with fleas!!!
Everything seemed normal as we arrived. Day 2 our dogs are covered in fleas!! We let the owner know, he contacted pest control , we were asked to leave next day for 3 hours while they sprayed. We were never accommodated for this. In meantime we spent over $100 buying flea products , we have never had this issue before. The spray did not work. I let the owner know, he then ignored my message so I had to reach out to vrbo. Owner then says he did receive my text which he never responded to and says he will do nothing about this issue, he continues to blame my family and then reminded us of our checkout time. I sent him photos we took of the place, the dishes were not washed, walls covered in spills, light fixtures and ceiling caked with dirt and above all, dead fleas lined up underneath sliding glass doors. These pictures were taken just days in, he blamed me again. It’s disgusting. Our family flew in from Texas, we felt uncomfortable the entire time. The place is gross. We met the cleaner upon arrival, just one older woman , we saw her vehicle, all was messy. The owner refuses any refund, any opportunity to make this better for us. Do yourself a favor and don’t bring your dogs and rent a different property, one without carpet. We will never book here again and the owner was so rude to me, won’t take any responsibility. Not worth the money, so many other nicer places. I felt like I couldn’t bring anything up to him. We didn’t even get to mention the human blood down the fence

Stay at Summer Breeze! You won’t regret it. A much needed vacation at a wonderful location!
First I want to say that Summer Breeze was so wonderful and so much better than expected! Our expectations were kept low, and that wasn’t necessary at all! The home is clean, spacious, and in good condition. We played a few of the board games and loved the pool, deck, and dining room table. We can’t wait to come back!!
Loves: location, condition, ac, pool, spacious, wonderful outdoor spaces, communication with host - so fast!!
Suggestions: A few minor suggestions would be that the mattresses are a bit uncomfortable. With so many different people staying here that’s understandable, but would highly recommend mattress toppers to help. Another suggestion would be the channel list. Currently all the channels are listed on the provided channel guide but having just the channels available would be much better. Another option might be to get a roku stick. It’s inexpensive and would turn your tv into a smart tv so people can log into their apps (Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc) to watch whatever and could save you money on cable. Just a thought, but TV was really the least of our worries!
Mentionables - Doors were unlocked when we arrived and that felt uncomfy as 4 women. It seems that the en suite sliding door is broken/doesn’t lock. There is the door stopper but that was laying on the carpet and the actual door lock is broken. When we arrived that and the lower level door were unlocked and accessible. Having the sliding door stoppers were great added security when in use though!

Unanimous - “Best family vacation ever”
Property was all as promised plus more. Two minute walk to the beach, great fenced in yard for children and pets with sand filled volleyball court which got a lot of use for sand toys. Lots of extras such as quality night lights in all bathrooms, plastic dishware for outside use, great hot tub, sparkling pool, and a kitchen equipped with everything we needed. Washer and dryer on both levels were wonderful. Beautiful spacious accommodations We would love to come back some year

Donny and Marlena are the most amazing VRBO host.
Every question I asked was answered so quickly. This house is a pet friendly house but you can’t tell. When you walk in it smells like a pet has never been inside. It is extremely clean and extremely convenient in every way.
This house is also handicap friendly. I had gotten plantar fasciitis right before our trip and was able to walk without going on any steps right into the first floor, which had a beautiful master bedroom and walk-in shower.
If you’re traveling with older parents, it’s perfect because they have their own kitchen and own living space down there.
The yard is perfect for dogs. It is so spacious. I’ve never seen such a spacious backyard in the Outer Banks before that’s fenced in. You won’t regret booking this house. It is so convenient to everything and just steps away from the beach. We will definitely be back next year.
Donny and Marlena Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with the world. We’re back home and missing it already. Happy new year!

Second time at Summer Breeze!
This property was perfect for us and our dogs. The fenced in backyard is a huge plus for us, and we were able to spend a lot of time in the backyard at the pool while the dogs could play outside! The beach is a very short walk from the house!
We would love to stay at Summer Breeze again next summer.....if any openings show up! They're booked almost every week with good reason!
