We just returned from spending a week at this location. Our family had an amazing time, the property was exactly what it said it would be and to be honest we were so pleasantly surprised that we will definitely be coming back. Below are some pros and because there aren’t a lot of cons, here couple considerations for the management:
Pros
- location, door-to-door to the beach is about three minutes and very easy. There is a street you have to cross so you don’t want your kids running across without you present. And because the public access isn’t at the same spot the beach is relatively yours.
- The two bedroom unit was well appointed, small kitchen but manageable small living room but again manageable two bedrooms one with king size bed and one with two full-size were great for the kids. Each had a door to the outside and each has its own bathroom. Nothing fancy but it felt fairly new versus other places we’ve stayed. The unit also came with a screened in porch which was amazing at night.
- The pool was the perfect size for the number of people staying at the place, with a shallow and deep side it provided a lot of entertainment. They have tons of chairs and umbrellas for sunshade.
- this place is located pretty close to a bunch of restaurants and right off after the bridge which made getting there incredibly easy if you know anything about OBX traffic.
- The place is clean and safe, and all the beds were pretty comfortable to sleep in. We are lucky enough to have a family staying above us so there wasn’t any type of loud partying. The second night I think there was some people hanging out late but again it wasn’t loud and it didn’t bother us.
- The welcome bag was super helpful to get you through the first day or even the second day, things like that seem small but are super helpful to a family who may have traveled pretty far to get to your location and forgot something.
Things to consider:
- installing a fan in the screened in porch
- more towel hooks in the bathrooms
- ceiling fan in kitchen, when you’re cooking the place smelled pretty bad and there wasn’t a good way to vent out the room
- more clothes pins, it was awesome to have an outdoor drying area but I could never find enough clothes pins.
we absolutely loved the place, it had a retro feel to it which made me think of the easier days at the beach. There wasn’t a lot of rules and regulations, no 50 page welcome book to read, just an easy beachside spot.
