4/10 Poor

I will say upfront it is a stone’s throw to the beach and just under a mile to Duck. The property was clean and could be ideal for some.
The cons are the pool was under construction so unusable in May 2022. Weather probably wouldn’t have allowed anyway so not a big deal. The unit itself needs work that makes it an uncomfortable stay. The bedroom with the green bench faces the ocean. The week we were there was unseasonably cold and windy. The patio door let all that cold air in and the entire room rattled with each gust. The green bathroom is poorly painted wall paper and the toilet is unleveled based on water from previous guests leaking out of the shower and rotting the floor. You can see in the living room where it leaked down to ceiling and was patched. The shower is from a cheap motel, moldy shower head and broken shower curtain. Also no working vent fan.
Bedroom number two was better but same painted wallpaper in bath. We found a bed bug carcass in there after turning on the hvac. Thankfully no signs of them otherwise.
Downstairs the bathroom has one of those toilets that needs to be flicked to stop running and a loud vent fan.
Kitchen has everything you need for an extended stay. Pub table was not ideal for 3 year old with us. We found cockroach carcass in bathroom and dog hair everywhere which means it hadn't been cleaned for our stay.
The washer was good but dryer did not work. Had to run several cycles to get clothes dry. Ruined better part of a day going up and down checking to no avail.
Bottom line: there are better options, maybe next store. If you like the location look for another unit.
A final note: i booked through Vrbo but property is managed by Resorts Realty so why pay VRBO a fee? My mistake. Resorts Realty sends a form with different prices than Vrbo. Their form has a bug in it that made me accept early check in. Still not sure if I was ripped off but feels like it. Also they had a maintenance guy show up while we were there to replace air filters. Cant that wait a day til we check out?
This is honest, constructive criticism for the owner and management. I do not wish to be contacted further
