I have stayed at the Hatteras Cabanas in the past - each time a different cabana. This was the 3rd cabana I had rented and did not find it up to par with the previous rentals. In attempting to contact the owner - she did not reply to VRBO messages and so I had to text her, and then had to text her again to get an actual answer. This was very disheartening.
Upon arrival the place was clean enough but there were several details that when comparing to other places I stayed - made it evident that this rental is not a priority. Bathroom lights over the sink were out, there was NO STOVE (if this was in the description, I missed it and would never have thought that a STOVE was an item i had to check on), Curtains covering the slider were so sheer that at night - i was very uncomfortable feeling like neighbors could see inside - *(fortunately I had a sheet that I hung up over it), the mattress cover was stained and ripped as I used my own sheets so I saw this, the outside hose did not have an attachment so it was useless when trying to spray anything clean, the outside "gardens" were unkempt, the outside "tiki" bar had garbage behind it amongst the overgrown "garden" - and finally - the DOOR DID NOT LOCK!! I finally noticed this at the end of the week as I just kept using the key code but never actually pushed the door to see if it locked and it did NOT - and before I am told I needed to pull harder or flip the switch on the back = I did ALL these things and more and you could just turn the handle, push and go in!! INSANE!!! When the owner puts in the description that they may not have supplies for you because they are from out of town - that's your first clue that this property is not attended to. I would not stay in this cabana again.
