Excellent kiting, mixed reviews
I rarely spend time on these surveys because the owners/managers never post negative comments. I’ll provide a balanced, accurate review and see if it gets posted.
In some ways, this place gets 5 stars, in others it gets 1 star.
Pros:
* The kiting setup is fantastic.
** It’s literally across the lawn from the Kitty Hawk Kites school.
** The lawn can get a little crowded, but it’s super convenient for setup, take-off and landing, and all just 60 seconds from your front door.
** There’s an air compressor at KHK for the kites, although it needs a little TLC.
** There are lockers at the garage level for your kite gear so you don’t have to haul it up and down the stairs every day.
* The local staff are super friendly and helpful.
* There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance
* The unit as a whole was clean, spacious, and had a fabulous view of the sunset.
* The kitchen was a great space for preparing meals.
Cons:
* You’re sharing walls, ceilings and floors with your neighbors. If they are noisy (e.g. barking dogs, running kids, etc) you are pretty much stuck with it. Cross your fingers for good neighbors. Frankly, given how little money they earn from letting tenants bring dogs, the owners would be better off just not allowing dogs at all in order to prevent the headaches for everyone all around.
* Calling the pool shower a “shower" is being generous. It has no water pressure and you need one hand at all times to run the water - requiring gymnastic balancing skills to use it.
* Although they provide a pool, they do not provide pool towels.
* Depending on the unit you rent, there are windows with no blinds, so be prepared for some bright mornings.
* The WiFi is spotty and will disconnect you fairly regularly
* Watch out for the welcome letter you’ll get about 1 week before your stay. It’s not very clearly written and it may make you think you’ll need to pack a couple extra suitcases of stuff. Call ahead to find out what’s actually in the unit and what’s not so that you know what to pack.
We will definitely return to the OBX for the amazing kiting, but we’re on the fence about whether we would rent this place again, the biggest problem being noisy, disrespectful neighbors. Maybe we’ll have better luck with that next time.
