My husband and I enjoyed two wonderful weeks at this condo. The location was perfect, with views of the bay and dock and beautiful sunsets from the balcony. The balconies in the building are set back from each other (not adjacent) so very private, and the high top table with chairs allowed for even better views. We were on the top floor, so had the best. Thankfully my husband and I are physically fit, although we're in our 70s, so had little difficulty going up and down the four flights of stairs. The condo was very clean, and decor lovely. Access to the laundry room required walking down the stairs and around to the side of the building with another short flight of stairs, but we dried clothes on the balcony on the drying rack . Restaurants, shopping and beach access across the street are within easy walking distance. My husband enjoyed fishing off the Avon pier and thedock outside the condo. Restaurant recommendations are Pangea, Cafe Palmico (great views of their dock), Oceanas Bistro, Ketch 55 and Rugs across the field in Avon and Diamond Shoals in Buxton. We tried getting to Ocrakoke but discovered when we got to the ferry terminal that only the vehicle ferry was running due to mechanical problems with the passenger ferry which would not be running again the following day (our last day). Since the vehicle ferry can apparently only transport 25 cars at a time and there were well over a hundred cars lined up, we left. Call ahead for ferry status and arrive early.
