Views in the pictures are exactly what you're getting with this unit, you are literally 30 yards from the beach. It's somewhat isolated, so you aren't fighting for space to setup your canopy or umbrella, and, at least when I went there during the last week of August, you aren't worried about anyone coming along and stealing your belongings if you're in the ocean for more than 5 minutes by yourself. Take from that statement what you will.As for the unit itself, overall it was good, just a couple of small issues but nothing that would ruin your vacation at all. Pictures and description match exactly what you're getting. Only major issue was one of the oven burners not operating properly on the oven as of 8/29/25, but given how responsive Charlie was, I'd say he'll get that fixed. Speaking of which, Charlie was excellent on the communication side, my stay was right after Erin came through off the coast and boogered things up for the Outer Banks. That could have made for a lousy experience, but it was anything but. Only other downside to the unit is also an upside: you're on the first floor, so you've got neighbors above you. If they've got heavy footsteps, you'll hear them. On the plus side...you're on the first floor, so getting to and from the unit is easy, and you're RIGHT next to the pool, which is awesome. Pool was well maintained and the staff member doing the cleaning knew her stuff. She's 100%. Overall, the good outweighed any issues by far.
