Liked: Cleanliness
Mostly good except for the WiFi
The good - hot tub was nice, clean, private. Beach parking with pass was very convenient and very short walk after parking. Water was the most clear I’ve ever seen at obx. Neighborhood very quiet and there was a beach cart to bring stuff to the beach easier.
The kinda bad - mattresses weren't great. The walk to the beach from the house isn’t bad, but to say it’s a 5 min leisurely walk is inaccurate. Says bathrooms come with towels, which was later clarified as hand towels, but for our stay, there was neither. Also, the house was a little smaller than I envisioned from the pics.
The ugly - We like streaming movies at night when our families get together at obx but the WiFi is almost non existent. Never measured higher than 1MB/sec and mostly hovered around 100-200 kbs. So streaming was out. We informed the hosts right away, called spectrum ourselves (twice) when they didn’t immediately offer to resolve the problem themselves. The hosts reminded us that books, board games and some dvds are available. They did set up an appointment with spectrum to have it looked into afterwards but it doesnt sound like the problem has been resolved yet as spectrum said their lines are fine so I assume it’s a problem with the router but I’m no technician, I just know it didn’t work well for any of us the entire time.
So lots of good things and a few minor bad things and then the WiFi which is really bad. Once they fix the WiFi I would recommend it to others, no problem.
