Girls Week in OBX

We opted for this property mainly for the oceanfront view. The mattresses were not firm and several in the group had back issues with the soft mattresses. We had plumbing issues (clogged sink, faucet that needed fixing) and a plumber was called and only availability was at 7:30am (not ideal for those vacationing). Several dishes were cracked and need replacing. We requested a new skillet to cook with as the one there was in rough condition (and a new skillet was brought immediately). Overall, it's a beautiful condo - just needs some routine upkeep.

Pool and hot tub not usable for the year

Great location and side view of the Atlantic. You will have to stare at the guests next door on their decks but you still have a great view of the might Atlantic Ocean. It was also nice to have underground parking. Big issue with us is that we paid for a pool and sea venue. We were later told that the pool would not be open for the season due to failed inspections and could not be fixed for quiet some time. They did not offer ANY reduction in cost. They did offer YMCA pool use three miles away. That's not what I paid for or wanted. Nice place to stay but front bedroom was hot and we had to put a fan in the hall and leave the door open for air. Also 3rd floor had no working air in hallway and may have contributed to heat in front room. If pool was working would definitely consider again but this trip left a bad taste.

Frustrating.

I chose this property because of balcony with ocean view. I get there and there was a huge couch blocking the view from the living room blocking the sliding door to the balcony. I decided to rearrange the furniture. When I did I found a sign on the door saying it doesn't open. I got the feeling they had no plan to fix it. There was a door to the balcony from the dining room but it just wasn't as convenient. I never had any contact from the property manager. I was there for 5 nights but her days off evidently coincided with my with my first 2 nights there and no one ever contacted me to see how I was doing. There were lots of minor problems like no hangers in the closets, musty smell in a bedroom, couldn't figure out how to work the diswasher, and never got the TV in the bedroom to work. Not a good place for a senior citizen. Child size toilets, no handrails in the bath, etc. This place was a backup choice. I made reservations over 3 months early and one week before my trip VRBO cancelled the reservation. VRBO has a rebooking team but they provided absolutely no support. Lack of support and communication made this a less than satisfying trip.

All was fine except the condo needs a thorough cleaning. Beautiful ocean view and the 3 bedrooms were great for our family. Kitchen items need to be organized and things not needed cleaned out.

Convenient

Enjoyed our stay in the three bedroom condo. Very conveniently located close to the elevator for easy access. Especially loved there was access out to the beach that did not involve a single stair for an aging parent. Nice size kitchen and rooms. Dishes could use a deep cleaning. Besides that we would definitely stay again.

Disappointing Condo

This unit is in poor shape. 2 of the doors to the patio were inoperable and the third was only partially usable. The wine fridge is useless, not cold enough for white wine. The kitchen is filled with excessive wine openers (6) and over 20 knives but no working can opener. Most of the pans were worn and unwholesome looking. I expect hype in the listing but this was in the realm of dishonesty.

Great location and lovely beach

We loved kill devil hills as a location for exploring the outer banks. 20 mins to Duck or Manteo, 5 mins to Wright brothers memorial and the wonderful dunes at Jockeys Ridge State Park. The beach was close and easily accessible and we loved walking there and watching the shoals of porpoise. The property was fine, could have been cleaner, carpets need a good steam clean. We knew the pool was closed, but it would have been nice to know that the fitness room and spa were also closed ;-( In view of the lack of facilities the property was overpriced. It was also difficult to reach the rental company when we needed maintenance to stop the smoke alarm for. Constantly going off.

Kill Devil Hills vacation

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Location is great as far as very close proximity to the beach as well as restaurants, etc. First Flight Rentals did an excellent job with communication regarding any questions we had prior to and during our stay. I was however somewhat disappointed with the cleanliness/condition of our unit. There was dust caked on blinds and other areas throughout the apartment and carpet/couches seemed old/worn. Kitchen was nicely renovated, but it seemed the rest of the condo was in need of renovation as well. The cleanliness factor almost made me take the rating down to three stars, but we enjoyed everything else so much that I left it at 4.

High price-poor cleanliness

While everyone was respectful of social distancing also staying in the condos, there was nasty dust everywhere, caked on the blinds etc. There was specifically a sign posted in the single musty elevator that said the HOA couldnt keep these locations cleaned according to CDC standards nor were there sanitizing stations/any cleaners ever witnessed. $4500 for a decent property (but a condo when usually houses are half this) that could not even be cleaned properly sucked.
