Warm and Welcoming
This was our son's first trip to the OBX and my husband and my first trip in many many years. It's obvious that a lot of love and tender memories happened (and continue) to happen in this house. It was relaxing and instantly familiar. We were both teleported back to an easier time in each of our childhoods when things were slower. This house was warm and inviting and while the floors were quite dirty, it was no harm (it's the beach after all) and nothing a little sweeping of our own couldn't fix. We are particular about this sort of thing and bring cleaning supplies no matter where we go anyway, so not a dig on the property at all.
We had one small mishap with wasps in the gazebo by the pool and hanging around one of the upper decks, but property management was SUPER responsive and sent someone over right away. Not a big deal or anyone at fault, we deal with this in our own home, it's impossible to keep them away if you have any kind of wood decking or gazebo.
The only thing I will say is some parts of the house and exterior decking needed some TLC and upgrades. You can see where some of the decking is rotting and water damage on some of the ceilings in the bathrooms (all old/dry, however).
Still, we would stay here again it has a FANTASTIC location near the beach, grocery store, shops + restaurants and water sports on the sound side right across rt 12. Literally a 10 min walk. We got to hop on jet skis and walk right back home.
