We spent a week at Jersey Girl in early September with five adults, two babies, and a three year old.

This was the second time to the OBX for the wife and I and the first for the other couple. Two weeks removed from the trip and we have rebooked Jersey Girl for the same slot next year !

We made lots of big meals for breakfast and dinner. The kitchen was well stocked with pretty much everything you can think of for cooking. We brought our own waffle iron and I’ll bring a lemon/lime juicer next year.

While the house is a couple back from the beach, it’s a super easy quick walk down the road to the boardwalk to get to the beach. The dunes are really small in this area so once you hit the boardwalk, you’re steps from the beach (not the case with all of the OBX). You can hear and see the beach from the deck.

The kiddie pool was a bit hit and a major reason for not looking elsewhere next year. We’ll like it even more next year when the two babies are walking.

The house had pretty much all the toys you need for the pool and beach including noodles, lots of beach chairs, and two carts that were very helpful for schlepping your stuff to the beach. The pool area has a nice shaded section and a small shed with a fridge and storage area.

The house is very clean, well-decorated, and nice craftsmanship with the woodwork (cabinets/trim/etc.).

We had two minor issues that were both resolved within 18 hours.

All that glitters is not gold…

The house is next to a big condo resort so when you’re on the deck at night, one view is of a lit up parking lot and condos. Takes away from the remoteness of the OBX.

Wifi was spotty from first floor and non-existent from the pool. Great AT&T cell reception though. Agree with owner that if it was important, I should have contacted wifi provider to resolve. We streamed videos to our tablet just fine from the top floor.

The same problem as other VRBO kitchens I’ve experienced – dull knives and not enough space to dump all your kitchen stuff for the week without chewing up precious counter space. We brought a lot of kitchen stuff with us so your experience may vary.
