My wife and I stayed in the Oceanside condo unit A1 for five nights and four days starting Saturday, 8/23/25, after Hurricane Erin passed by offshore. We loved having a sliding glass door that opened to a very small deck that overlooked the beach and ocean. We loved hearing the ocean and seeing the early morning and late evening beach. We loved that the condo was huge inside with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a large, well-equipped kitchen with bar counter, a dining room with table and chairs and a complete living room. Both the master bedroom and living room had wall-mounted flat screen cable TVs and the living room had a CD stereo. We liked having a deck-side elevator for lifting our suitcases. We loved the pool which was large and clean and had a good depth, ranging from about three to five feet. The pool area had a privacy fence around it, plenty of deck furniture and adjustable umbrellas and a clean bathroom. The complex sits comfortably away from the beach road and seems almost park-like with fenced-in cactus garden, pool, children play and outdoor grilling areas and pine tree areas. We liked having free access to the laundry room's three washing and drying machines. We liked the resort's boardwalk-like direct access to the beach and outside showers. We also liked the fact that the management company, Kees, had an on-site office that was open every day except weekends. We also liked the fact that we could see that the property was being maintained by groundskeepers and painters during our stay. Now, I'll mention what could have been better. The biggest issue was interior cleanliness. When we first entered, the coffee maker still had the previous renter's grounds in it. The kitchen stove and floor had a slight greasiness to them. There were some ants around the kitchen counter and bar areas. The master bathroom's A/C vent had a black, mold-like, stain around it, although the vent itself had been newly replaced. Also, the middle of the three washing machines needed repair. Lastly, the master bedroom bed could have been more comfortable and there was a softball-sized stain on the carpet. Also, the rental included access to the Outer Banks Sports Club !!! This was wonderful !!! I got to have a workout at a clean, modern gym while my wife got to go shopping !!! To summarize, while the condo wasn't perfect, the good far outweighed the bad and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. In fact, we felt like we could have lived there after we did our own initial cleaning. Oh, also, if we ever go to the Outer Banks during hurricane season again, we'll be sure to get hurricane insurance as well !!! read more
