We had a wonderful stay! The rooms were spacious and clean, nicely furnished and comfortable. The view off the deck was unobstructed with a beautiful ocean view. There was direct beach access off the deck as well, which was very convenient. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Once we got to the penthouse it was very nice and as beautiful as pictured. First class for sure. My wife and I are both over eighty years old and she has mobility issues. I was beyond exhausted by the time we got all our stuff up 36 stairs. Ocean view was wonderful and the beach is nice but the deep sugar sand was tough on us too. Fabulous place for younger folks (which is everyone else)but the physical demands made it less than 5 stars for me.

This property was perfect for our stay. The bed was comfy, the ocean view from the deck was excellent and the shower was great. I especially appreciated the Kuerig coffee pot. My only concern, being an older person that is used to cable television, is it possible to have written directions as to how the TVs work? Not a big problem as we were out most of the day, but morning news is a must for us and a late night show is nice as well. We were down for the OBX car show so this location was perfect and close to everything. Dinner at Millers on the Waterfront was excellent. I hope we are able to comeback next year and maybe stay a little longer.
