Let me start by saying that the pictures are deceiving. The condo has not been kept up and is in need of much repair. The carpet was stained and could use a good deep cleaning or even replacing. The the walls were warped and the paint was peeling in the bathroom. The kitchen was not much to be desired either...the dishwasher was not properly secured which caused it to tilt forward every time we opened it. The cabinets are showing their age...stains, and some were even rotting and damaged from what appeared to be water. The pleather chair pictured in the living room photo was peeling severely and the some pieces from the vertical blinds were broken and missing. Lastly, the sheets and quilt in one of the bedrooms were stained, and the towels that were provided left lint on your skin after every use.
On a positive note...It's centrally located and walking distance to the beach, restaurants, shops and Harris Teeter. The kitchen was well equipped with the basics, paper goods were provided (as well as hotel size toiletries). When we discovered the stained linens, we called and they were both replaced with fresh ones...unfortunately, in the process they took a pillowcase that belonged to us by mistake.
The parking situation was very frustrating! We arrived with 2 cars but were only given a parking pass for one, so all weekend we were inconvenienced with the city lot. We paid $10 per day, which wasn't unreasonable but the 8am run every morning to refresh the meter for the day was annoying. We've taken our annual trip to IOP for the last 3 years and have never had an issue with having an extra car, until this year!
This condo is spacious and has the potential to be great...unfortunately it hasn't been kept up and I would not recommend this particular unit to anyone.
