The property was very clean-- spotless except for the ceiling fan blades. It was tastefully decorated and not dated in decor. However, the furniture (except for the bed, which was WONDERFUL) was not comfortable or practical. There were tiny small round tables, nowhere to play a game or to sit and eat with some elbow room. There were lighting issues (the light in the fridge and the light above the stove were both out!)--the small table lamps provided limited light, not enough to read by. We ended up leaving early to go home because we missed our furniture, and the cost of meals/food on Hatteras was noticeably elevated from years past. We understand this given the current economy, but it did impact our decision to leave early. The view (and sound) of the beach was gorgeous. The condo is on the first floor, which means it's at dune height. Which means those pesky no-see-ums gnats were always around if you wanted to sit on the deck. Which of course, in a small place is basically an extra room. The convenience of being near fishing charters and the Okracoke ferry were why we chose this place, and that is the best thing about it! And the bed----between the mattress and the linens, it was HEAVEN. I think the bed must be new. It was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in in a rental. Overall, I would give this condo a 3 out of 5. (Also the realty was super-nice and efficient, we would definitely work with them again.)
