First the good.. the house was clean..the HVAC unit worked well cause it was very hot that week.. lots of kitchen appliances and cooking equipment. Now the bad.: No hot water. Lukewarm water not hot.. had to use only the hot tap for a shower.. beds not made. They provide sheets in bags for you to do your own. No bath soap, no laundry detergent or trash bags.. bring your own. No consumables like cooking oil, or coffee filters, or anything else in the kitchen. Called and left messages with phone number no response. Furniture is from 1970… beds are hard.. blinds are cheap paper with no dark shades.. two small TVs none in bedrooms. And stock the bathroom yourself with towels left on the beds and bath mats in the closet. No extra decoration to make this house inviting.. not even lamps in the bedroom.. overhead lights with cheap wall lights not on wall switches. Pass on this one… it’s run poorly by a large management company.. that’s unresponsive.

The house clean however few things . First we could not get in the front door for 2 days , I called 3 times until someone showed up and replaced the lock . The bedroom upstairs had pillows that was longer than the sheet went on it , so half of the pillows were out which can’t understand why !!! The dryer doesn’t work well and seemed very old . The shower curtain in the bed room upstairs stairs came off on the first day . Also after 2 shower the water would get cold .

1st OBX visit

The property is well maintained and has a good location proximal to Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head and Roanoke Island attractions. We would definitely stay there again
