Goodness! This place almost got 1 star.
Every year, when I return to the Emerald Isle area, my partner's family usually reserve a condo on the beach. And, we've been trying different condos. All of them with no complaint until we got to Ocean Grove.
The first condo (C5) was pretty as first glance with 4 floors, which meant 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. No holding your soon-to-burst-bladder-while-someone-else-is-taking-forever! However, we immediately noticed that there was no working A/C on the first and second floor. In addition, we noticed some things were concealed from the virtual tour online. For example, a (exposed) washer and dryer in the 2nd floor bathroom, right next to the toilet. Oh man, a prankster's dream!
After the first night, half of the people vacationing with us could not sleep. We demanded another condo...except no one was taking or returning our calls at the rental agency. Oh no, they didn't! We were gonna raise hell!
Finally, we get a response and we got our replacement condo (V2) and it was 1000% better! Learned something though. You don't want condos in sections A to F...they're the old condos. You want be somewhere in sections S to V, the "newer" models.
The best part...the beach is right there! read more
