The house needs updating, echoing a previous reviewer. Our major concern was the abundance of dead water bugs (cockroaches) and spiders, highlighting inadequate cleanliness. Water bugs are prevalent in North Carolina, causing discomfort for those unfamiliar with them. Around 4:30 pm, we contacted maintenance, uncertain if help would come due to the late hour and office closing at 5 pm. Taking matters into our own hands, we meticulously cleaned, surprised when a cleaner arrived. They cleaned the master room and living area, finding another water bug. After this, we could enjoy our vacation. The location was convenient, close to stores and an Outback Steakhouse, though the food quality disappointed. The pool was well-maintained, but the grill needed cleaning. Presuming routine pest control, we recommend a pre-check-in inspection for future guests. Had we not encountered the distressing sight of dead bugs, we would have seriously considered booking this place again. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our time at OBX!
