Nice place for a quiet stay

We had a great experience at Watermen’s. The check in process was easy, we were within an easy walk of the beach, and we enjoyed the pet-friendly neighborhood. Our one and only complaint about the property is that it sleeps 6, but doesn’t have seating/dining accommodations for that many. It wasn’t a huge issue, since we didn’t come on vacation to hang out in the house anyway, and we just brought our camping chairs in for extra seats.

Fun at 2C

We had so much fun at this property! I felt like it was perfect because we had a washer and dryer, so it was great for washing clothes for our baby (we traveled with a 7 month old). I liked that there were 2 bathrooms, and the bedrooms were extremely spacious! This didn’t really bother us, but keep in mind that the location isn’t right on the beach. I would say it’s about a 15 minute walk to the beach through some neighborhoods behind the cabanas. And Hatteras is known for mosquitoes, so if you’re trying to stay super close to the beach, this may not be the best place for you. Overall, it’s a wonderful property!

Three stars

I would have given it five stars all of her crown however it is very limited seating it’s three bedrooms and I have one sofa in the living room that’s it. We didn’t counter two roaches one in the kitchen one of the living room. I notified the property manager and their response was it was a water bug and that they spray regularly .

Great spot, clean and easy contact

Throughout our experience the team was very accommodating. We had some questions in advance about bringing our pets and we easily discussed those. While on site the team was very responsive with questions about the restaurant and when we had issues with the internet they resolved them in very little time. It’s attached to the neighbors but the decks are placed in a way you have privacy. We didn’t hear our neighbors much although occasionally you could. But we had no issues. Would recommend for sure !

Family Vacation

Check-in was a breeze at this easy-to-find cabana. It was very clean, with ample kitchen appliances/cookware and linens. Outdoor shower and locked storage was a plus! A little hike to the beach, particularly for younger children, but do-able. Sunsets and access to sound-side restaurant made for lovely evenings. Only drawback was 20+min drive to nearest full grocery store, but there was a Dollar General within walking distance and plenty of places available for take-out.

Fairly good location, excellent communications, not as comfortable as we hoped

Communication and cleanliness were great. Location was great for visiting the Real Watersports facility, but not as easy for walking to the beach. An overall upgrade to the furniture would be helpful. Beds and common area furniture weren’t comfortable. Olivia in the office was a gem- very helpful and responsive when needed. Overall value wasn’t what we’d hoped for the cost.

Disappointing

The apartment was covered in dog hair. One of the "bedrooms" had no window and was extremely hot & stuffy. No TVs in the bedrooms. Not enough seating in the main room. They give you a starter set of supplies; we had whatever toilet paper was left on the roll from previous visitor. We were told to buy our own supplies at the Dollar Tree. Seriously? This place cost over $400 a night & we were only staying 3 days; I'm not going to buy a box of dishwashing detergent and garbage bags for 3 days!

Great Family Vacation

The Cabana was very clean and spacious! It was in a great location to family friendly attractions like the arcade, ice-cream parlor, and if you wanted to drive to the beach. Unfortunately, if walking to the beach it was challenging due to a large sand dune that you had to hike over!! Overall, we had a great stay at the Watermen Cabanas and would for sure stay there again!!
