  Great beach resort

  View of the water was outstanding. Location for exploring OBX couldnt be beat. Everything was as expected. We chose this resort because it was one of the few with an elevator. Very happy with everything.

  Excellent for the price

  Okay, so if you are looking for an upscale resort with all modern furnishings, like a fine hotel, this isnt it. But neither is the price. If you are looking for clean, well-maintained, comfortably furnished in very good condition, with great beach access, easy parking, and a community vibe (friendly neighbors), this is the place! Compared to other beach rentals on the Outer Banks in this price range, its great! We have travelled to the OBX for over 35 years, and this is our go-to place. If youre like me, you read the bad reviews first. Id like to respond to some folks criticisms. Yes, the beach has experienced storm erosion. The entire OBX has. Fortunately, it has been restored to some extent, but not the incredible depth it once had. Its still a great beach, and the area has lots of shopping, tons of restaurants, and plenty of fun activities to do from historic to sports to nature attractions. The best kite flying in the country is here. Go to Kitty Hawk Kites and get a two-line kite. They are easy to fly and GREAT fun! Its true, you have to go over a walkway over the dunes to get on the beach. The dunes protect the entire area and its buildings from storms and further beach erosion. Please dont walk or play on them. (The plants are fragile, and their root systems are what hold the dunes together in a storm.) True, there is no public transportation. But then again, its a really rare beach town that does. The fire alarm doesnt go off for no reason. It goes off because someone accidentally has a small stove fire, or causes heavy kitchen smoke (cooking burgers is famous for this). Kitchen fires can become serious quickly. When the alarm does go off, we meet in the parking lot and chat with each other. Get to know your neighbors, thank the fire department, and watch the kids enjoy the fire truck. It only takes once for everyone there that week to learn to be mindful of opening doors if the cooking gets smoky. I agree, the dumb waiter could use an update with a door on it, so things can be rolled onto it rather than lifted over. Next time I go, Ill make that suggestion! (Itll need a way to keep kids from playing on it, though.) Finally, while there isnt a washer dryer in the unit, there is a free laundry room. Ive never used it, but occasionally see someone in there doing laundry.

  Location is perfect!

  Have stayed at this resort three times now and plan to go back again. It is located right on the beach with a fabulous view from the living room and master bedroom. We like to stay in the winter when things are quiet in the OBX. Nobody bothers you and you can just enjoy the ocean view and the beach steps from the building. The unit is very well equipped with everything you need during your stay. Grocery stores, restaurants, etc. are all quite close by. The location is great. The only recommendation I shared with management is that they should replace the queen size bed in the master bedroom with a king size when they replace the bed.

  Love the view from the unit

  The condo was clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed for our stay. The view of the beach and ocean was better then we expected. It is awesome even during the rainy days. We would like to return sometime in the future.
