Cute little place on the beach

Cute little one bedroom with a separate living room and kitchen. Properties are right on the beach and walking distance to some restaurants.

Great spot even during a tropical storm!

This was a great spot, exactly as advertised. It was close to a lot of locations so we had plenty to do even during a tropical storm which unfortunately had it while we were there. We did have one good day of weather while we there to enjoy the beach and that made it all worth it. Would go back!

Was a nice property. If you have kids that aren’t used to living in an apartment then this might be tough as the neighbors are unforgiving of kids being kids. Nice spot though.

location!!

It was a fantastic stay! The best part was the location, which provided very easy access to the beach. One concern I have about the property is the noise from Main Street, which is right next to it, coming from the bedroom. We enjoyed our time at the property!

Fifth floor!

I messaged the owner about the tv and a light and he responded right away and offered to stop over. We did not have him come over. Great shower, great location! However, it was difficult to get in the lockbox both coming and going. We were unable to use the TV in the living room. The light in the living room didn't work. No hangers in the closet. We are 70 so the fifth floor with no elevator was hard for us.

The shower has good water pressure, the bed is comfortable. The AC is as cold as you could want and the coffee pot works. Access to the beach was easy and the pool looked well kept. However this condo wobbles down the line between well-worn and worn out. There was sand and someone else's hair in the tub. Everything is rusty, the doors stick, there’s a hole in the ceiling and many of the switches don't work. The deck street side should probably be avoided until structurally checked out. The patio door facing the street is not insulated, so traffic sounds are very present. A roach ran down my arm in the middle of the night. My husband thought I was maybe dreaming, and then it ran over him. Good times. We notified the owner as a FYI. Benjamin advised that they weren't German cockroaches but Palmetto bugs. (As if that was the point.) We discovered a dead Palmetto bug in the bedroom so I guess he's not completely wrong. We go to NC beaches at least twice a year. Previous rentals have not graced us with roaches so obviously there is an effective treatment. We were offered our last night's stay refunded if we wanted to leave. Honestly, we probably should have accepted but we stayed for our final night.

Had issues with the air conditioning short cycling the first night. Air Filter was completely blocked and property owner did come and replace but it was late Friday night and said AC person would come since it continued to run for 20 minutes and then power off completely for 5 minutes before rebooting. Saturday night it continued to power off and on and I notified Property Owner asking if AC repairman came and they stated AC repairman came and said everything was running fine. They said he came in the morning and we stated we were in the unit and no one came. They said, "Why would our guy lie?" Then on Sunday night the system continued to power off and on, but then it powered off and remained off for over one hour. The room temperature raised significantly and we called the property owner and they said. We're sending a tech out You're welcome for doing that It's late! At which point my wife was livid and called them to complain about this comment. She also called VRBO and then the property owner called us back and said they have been calling AC companies but it was late sunday night labor day weekend and said they would give us a refund for $230 and we can go to a hotel that night. Overall, this vacation was not very good when it came to the property we stayed at.

Very clean

The place was clean and smelled great. The location was perfect for us. The pool was clear and did not get very crowded. The beach access was very convenient. My only dislike was that the bedroom TV was not connected to cable or any streaming service. We had to go buy a ROKU to watch TV at night when we go to bed. The kitchen had everything u could need. We would stay here again.
